Title: The improvement and bleaching of bread
IPC: A21D6/00
Filed: 1954-04-07
Abstract: The baking quality of flour is improved by addition of a product obtained by a procedure involving extraction of the fat content of flour by means of a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride or petroleum ether and oxidation of such fat content in the presence of light and air, the desired qualities (as ascertained by a described baking test) being allowed to develop in the solute of the extract and in any precipitate forming therefrom.  Preferably, the fat of the flour employed for preparing the product is oxidized before the solvent extraction by treatment of the flour with a gaseous flour improver such as nitrogen trichloride or chlorine dioxide.  The flour-improving ingredient of the extract may be concentrated by solvent extraction, partition or adsorption chromatography.  It may be employed at the rate of 300 parts per million in untreated flour.

Abstract: 1320987 Winding webs SOC NOUVELLE SPIDEM 20 April 1971 [21 April 1970] 10258/71 Heading B8R [Also in Division B3] A core transport device comprises a core engaging wrapper which is displaceable between a core engagement position adjacent a core storage device and a working position. In a first embodiment, Fig. 1, a spool 5 is fed from a ramp 8 to a coiling position by a pair of pivotable arms 14 mounted on a ram 11. In operation a pivoted abutment 7 is lowered to allow a spool to roll to an abutment 10 after which the arms 14 are pivoted to grip the spool. The ram 11 is then actuated to raise the spool to the exit of a rolling mill 2 where strip 4 is guided by a shoe 17 and coiled on the spool. In another embodiment, Fig. 2, a released spool 6 abuts a belt 20 tensioned by a ram 22. The tension is then reduced to allow the spool to penetrate within the pivoted arms 14. A base 113 on which the arms 114 are mounted is then pivoted about a point 119 by a ram 111 to raise the coil to the coiling position.

Abstract: The invention comprises 2,4-diaminoquinazolines of the formula <FORM:0806772/IV (b)/1> (wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are hydrogen atoms or lower alkyl groups, at least one being a lower alkyl group and the total number of carbon atoms in all the alkyl groups present being one to five), and the preparation thereof by (a) reacting the corresponding 2 : 4-dihalogenoquinazolines with ammonia or (b) treating the corresponding 2 : 4-dihydroxyquinazoline with a halide or oxyhalide of phosphorus or a mixture of two such compounds to produce a 2,4-dihalogenoquinazoline and reacting the latter with ammonia. In examples, 6-methyl-2,4-dihydroxyquinazoline is reacted with a mixture of phosphorus pentachloride and phosphoryl chloride to form the corresponding 2,4-dichloro compound which in turn is treated with alcoholic ammonia to form 6-methyl-2,4-diaminoquinazoline; similarly is prepared 2,4-diamino-6,7-dimethylquinazoline.  In further examples, 2,4-diamino-8-methyl-, and 2,4-diamino-6,8-dimethylquinazolines are prepared in like manner, phosphoryl chloride in dimethyl aniline being used in the chlorination step, and 2,4-diamino-6-ethyl-and 2,4-diamino-5-isopropyl-8-methyl quinazolines are similarly prepared using phosphoryl chloride alone.

Abstract: 972,097. Thawing frozen food. A. C. JASON. May 23, 1962 [March 21, 1961], No. 10276/61. Heading A2D. [Also in Division H5] A method of thawing frozen organic matter especially fish comprises passing a series of frozen food packs through at least one R.F. field, the field(s) being initiated only when the area is substantially fully occupied by the pack(s) or a dummy pack or packs at the beginning and end of the series. The apparatus, Figs. 1 and 2, consists of a conveyer 11, carrying the packs 10 in the direction of the arrow 12 through a series of R.F. fields, indicated by broken lines and formed by an R.F. generator assiciated with electrode plates 13 above the conveyer and co-operating plates (not shown) below the conveyer. Trip switches 14 and 16 connected in series end with interlocking switches of the R.F. generator G, and operable by trip arms 15 and 17 are placed at the beginning and end respectively of the field space. The trip switches are closed by the frozen blocks moving along the conveyer, and the R.F. field is not initiated until both switches are closed. The leading block will only be partially thawed since the field does not operate until this block reaches the exit end of the field and closes the second trip switch. The trailing block also receives only partial thawing. Dummy blocks are therefore provided at the beginning and end of the series. The trip arms should be made of non metallic material and may be disposed horizontally. The switches should be screened from stray fields. Photo electric and proximity switches may also be used. Specification 926,806 is referred to.

The pressers are reset after each stroke of the carriage by levers 7, 8 formed as part- Maltese crosses and pivotable by toothed wheels 24, 25 meshing with a rack 30 which contacts buffers 71 with sound-damping pads 72. Said unit, which comprises the pressers, rack and plates 11, 34, rests by apertures 48 on members 47 carried by levers 44 at both ends of the unit, the levers being adjusted by cams 54 lockable by buttons 52. An adjustable spring-biassing system 66 bears on the plate 34 to prevent actuation of the stopmotion due e.g. to vibration of the machine. A switch 60 and biassing system 66 are provided at each end of the unit. The toothed wheels 24, 25 are relatively angularly displaced so that one presser pivots before the other to prevent their skids from colliding.
