Abstract: 140,593. Newton, G. C., and Newton, R. E. March 22, 1919. Concrete vessels.-In a reinforced-concrete ship two separated layers of metal reinforcing-rods 15, 16, Fig. 2, are embedded in the skin, one set being near the inner face of the skin and the other near the water face, the two sets of rods extending in opposite oblique directions in respect of the longitudinal axis of the ship. The rods are not self-supporting when embedded, but spacing-members 20, Fig. 5, may be employed for holding the rods in their proper relative position without setting up a rigid structure. The members 20 comprise channel-shaped bars with side walls partly cut away to form fingers 21, 22 which embrace the rods and also abut against the faces of the mould forms.

Abstract: 589,508. Constructional toys. WARDLE ALLOYS. Ltd., and DINERMAN, A. W. March 22, 1945, No. 7271. [Class 132 (iii)]. A toy building outfit comprises elongated members 1 which are adapted to form pillars or beams and which are each provided with two or more longitudinal slots 8, 9, 10 and 11, panels of sheet material 2, the marginal portion of which may enter said longitudinal slots, and hook-like anchoring members 14, 15, 16, or 21, 22, 23, whose shorter arm 15 or 23 is adapted toenter a longitudinal groove such as 10, whose connecting portion such as 16 is adapted to lie against the face of the beam, and whose longer arm such as 14 is adapted to enter apertures 12 and 13 or whose longer arm 21 is provided with a pair of notches 22 for engagement with notches 20 of the panel. The panels may be formed from sheet aluminium or light alloy metal and the pillars and beams of wood. Toy buildings such as houses may be constructed of these elements and since the pitched roof can be built from beams and panels in exactly the same way as the walls, the size of the building can be varied as desired instead of being limited as is the case when the roof is provided as a preformed unit, as in the usual building outfit.

Title: Improvements in methods for the alkaline treatment of uranium ores by means of ion exchange resins
Inventor: MOURET PIERRE
IPC: B01J41/04
Filed: 1959-03-03
Abstract: In a process for extracting uranium by alkaline leaching of crushed U ore, absorption of U on a strong base anion exchange resin, elution of the U from the resin, and precipitation of the U from the eluate by a base, the residual alkaline liquor from the precipitation of U is used to treat the eluted resin, the resulting eluate is treated with a calcium salt solution to precipitate calcium salts and provide a salt solution which is returned for use as resin elution solution after adjustment of its concentration.  Crushed U ore is leached with a solution of Na2CO3 and/or NaHCO3, and the solution of sodium uranyl tricarbonate formed is oxidized with O3 or MnO2 to eliminate impurities, e.g. sulphides, colloidal metal compounds, and humic acids.  The oxidized solution is filtered and passed at pH 9,5-11,5 through the exchange resin, e.g. polyaminated polystyrene, aliphatic polyamine, polystyrene quaternary amine, or polystyrene-divinyl benzene copolymer having quaternary ammonium groups.  The loaded resin is eluted with a solution of NaCl or NaNO3 and the U-rich solution is treated with NaOH solution to precipitate sodium uranate, which is filtered off, washed and dried and may be converted to U, U oxides or salts.  The filtrate is passed through the eluted resin to replace anions by OH and a solution of CaCl2 or Ca(NO3)2 is added to precipitate calcium salts which are filtered off, and the filtrate which is essentially a solution of NaNO3 or NaCl is reused as resin eluting solution after addition of fresh salt solution.

Filed: 1972-02-17
Abstract: 1333356 Dielectric storage devices INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 17 Feb 1972 [1 March 1971] 7352/72 Heading H3B A selected storage region of a ferroelectric layer 12 is switched by applying a switching pulse to electrodes 11, 14 at the same time as a gating light beam is applied to a selected area of a photoconductive layer 13, and the switching is constrained to the selected region of the ferroelectric by providing a metallic layer 22, conductively discontinuous in its plane, between the photoconductive and the ferroelectric layers. The electrode 14 is transparent and the light beam directed normal to the layered structure. The discontinuities of the metallic layer 22 may be due to its thickness of less than 100 Š thick and the surface irregularity of the ferroelectric on which it is deposited, or may be provided by the deposition of a regular metal pattern 25, Fig. 6. The ferroelectric may be solid solutions of lead ferroniobate, bismuth ferrate, lead zirconate or lanthanum ferrate, and the photoconductor CdS, CdSe, ZnS or ZnSe. A particular example uses a ferroelectric material of the formula Pb. 92 Bi. 07 La. 01 (Fe. 405 -Nb. 325 Zr. 27 )O 3 , on a gold-covered nickel-chrome alloy substrate forming the electrode 11. The electrode 14 and metallic layer 22 should be of such material as to provide blocking contacts for the photoconductive layer so as to reduce the voltage drop in non-illuminated regions across the ferroelectric material. For a CdSe photoconductor the electrode 11 and metallic layer material should be Au, Pt, Ag or Cu.

The internal temperature of a static condenser formed by rolling sheet metal electrodes A with intervening layers D of dielectric is measured by the change in resistance of an auxiliary probe electrode S, preferably a thin tape or wire, interposed between the main electrodes and rolled up therewith so that it is located along an equipotential surface. The resistance of the whole probe or between tappings A1, A2 ... A0 thereon may be measured so that the location and temperature of "hotspots" may be determined. The known resistance measuring apparatus may actuate an alarm or cut-out.

Abstract: 1432733 Luminescent materials and uses thereof PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 19 Feb 1974 [8 March 1973] 7581/74 Heading C4S A luminescent oxysulphide activated by Tb, Sm and optionally Dy is of formula wherein M is at least one of Y, Gd, La and Lu, 0À005#y#0À001; 0À030#(x+z)#0À003; 9x#z and 0À027 #z0. The phosphor is suitable for a c.r.t. monochrome (e.g. black and white) display, being also insensitive to Cu contamination and having low current saturation. Variation of chromaticity indices and emission wavelengths are discussed for varying activator concentrations (if also Fig. 2, not shown). The incorporation of filters produce monochrome displays other than black and white. The materials may be prepared by heating in a closed crucible (e.g. at 800‹ to 1400‹ C.) a mixture of the oxides of Y, Gd, La and/or Lu, of Tb and Sm or of a mixed oxide of these e.ements together with a sulphide and/or polysulphide of an alkali metal. Specific phosphor examples are given. Colour shifts due to the influence of the display screen glass may be compensated by a phosphor material with a chromaticity point not in the desired area.
