Patent GB-1391272-A (GB)
Title: Method of and apparatus for recirding information
IPC: G06F15/04
Filed: 1971-05-18
Abstract: 1391272 Automatic control programming DURCAM RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CO Ltd 28 April 1972 [18 May 1971] 7250/71 Heading G3N  A reversible programme for controlling a machine is prepared from a recording medium by storing the information block by block in a buffer store and subsequently re-recording the stored information step by step in adjacent to, or in the space between, end blocks. As shown, keys 55 representative of the tuftcolours of a carpet are depressed to produce a 4 bit binary digit word from a key-matrix 20 and fed to a shift-register 22 storing up to 300 words. Facilities are provided on the key-matrix for setting up the number of tufts of the same colour and for erasure by back-spacing. When full the contents of the register is transferred, by clock pulses from a source 40, as a block of information to eight channels of a tape in a recorder 25. The end of a block is denoted by a Q mark, one clock pulse in length, from the matrix 20 on a ninth track. The total number of blocks recorded is stored on a counter 32 and the line count shown on a display 31. A tape programmed with all N blocks is then prepared with inter-leaved blocks so that the programme can be read out in either direction of  travel. This is effected by use of a sequencing device 45 responsive to comparators 50, 51 comparing the count in counter 32 with, respectively, the count in a counter 33 which is at first one less than the count in counter 31 and then successively one less and one greater than that of the block read- and, the count in a counter 36 updated from 0 for each block read-in. The tape is thus reciprocated so that blocks are read-in at each end, a sequence which stops when the centre of the tape is reached. When read out to operate a tuft making machine as disclosed in Specification 1224468 having a switching arrangement employing solenoid operated valves the Q marks inhibit the reading of alternate blocks in each direction of tape travel. A transistor capacitor circuit is disclosed for controlling the solenoids in response to a binary signal device from the programme.

[Classes 18 and 66] A paperboard carton or bottle, having substantially flush and unrecessed side, top and bottom walls, has the top wall formed by overlapping flaps 13, 14, Figs. 3 and 4, which are cut and scored to provide relatively independent means that can be displaced to provide filling and dispensing openings respectively. The carton shown is made by folding a blank about inwardly directed score lines to form a tube which is then closed at the top by flaps 13, 14, together with short end flaps, and at the bottom by a dished insert 3 that is covered by flaps 10, 11, Figs. 9 and 11. The flap 13 has cuts 15, 17 defining disc and keystone portions 16, 18, which are left attached to the body of the flap by readily breakable ties 16a, 18a respectively, and the corresponding areas of flap 14 have a U-shaped cut 20, defining an ear 22, and crease and cut lines 24, 26 defining a dispensing flap 28. When the flaps 13, 14 are closed, the presence of adhesive causes portions 22, 28 to adhere to portions 16, 18 respectively so that they can be lifted together to gain access to the interior. On completion of the top closure, the lid 22-16 is opened from within and the bottom is then closed by inserting the base portion 3, Figs. 9 and 11, and folding in the bottom flaps 10, 11, the flanges of the insert being connected to the carton walls by adhesive. The carton is thereafter coated inside and outside with paraffin which serves to provide a leak-proof fit between the lid 22-16 and the body. For dispensing the contents, the flap 28 is torn along score lines 25, 24 extending from a central slit 26. The connection between the flap portions 18, 28 may be reinforced by a staple 28a and the lid 22-16 may be covered by a sealing strip which may bear printed matter.

Title: Improvement in process for making 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine
IPC: C07D213/10
Filed: 1953-03-19
Abstract: A continuous process for making 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine by reacting a mixture of paraldehyde and aqueous ammonia at an elevated temperature and pressure comprises forming a mixture containing at least 3.75 mols. of ammonia for each mol. of paraldehyde, passing such mixture through a reaction zone maintained at a temperature between 200 DEG  C. and 350 DEG  C. and at a pressure to maintain the reactants in the liquid phase, cooling the resulting reaction mixture and allowing it to separate into an organic liquid layer and an aqueous ammonia layer, distilling the organic liquid layer to recover 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine and if desired adding additional ammonia to the aqueous ammonia layer and recycling such layer to the reaction zone.  Catalysts which may be employed include ammonium acetate and ammonium salts of other organic acids, ammonium chloride and carbonate, sodium acetate and carbonate.  The aqueous ammonia layer may be extracted with a solvent such as benzene or chloroform.  In examples 2-methyl-5-ethylpyridine is obtained by passing a mixture of paraldehyde and aqueous ammonia containing ammonium acetate through a heated stainless steel reactor and separating the desired product from the organic layer (1), (3) and (4); in a process similar to (1) the aqueous ammonia and ammonium acetate (2); paraldehyde containing acetaldehyde, obtained by allowing acetaldehyde to polymerize in the presence of sulphuric acid, is reacted with aqueous ammonia containing ammonium acetate as in (1), (5).  Small amounts of picolines are obtained as by-products in (1).  Specification 534,494 is referred to.
