Title: Plastic Phenolic Condensation Product.
Inventor: AYLSWORTH JONAS WALTER
IPC: C08K5/03
Filed: 1911-04-19
Granted: 1912-04-19
Abstract: 9559. Aylsworth, J. W. April 19. Coating-compositions; impregnating-compositions.-Infusible phenol formaldehyde resins, produced, for example, by addition of formaldehyde or hexamethylenetetramine to fusible resins and heating, have incorporated with them a halogen - substituted phenol or naphthol at some stage of their formation prior to hardening. An additional organic substance, such as naphthalene, may also be added to the resin to lower the melting point of halogenphenol used. When hexamethylenetetramine is employed as hardening-agent, a compound of ammonia with a chlorphenol is formed within the mass. This product may also be separately formed and added to the resin. When the composition is .employed in sheet form for roofing and other building purposes, other noninflammable halogen compounds may be used, such as chlornaphthalenes, benzenes, toluenes, anthracenes, and tetrachlorethane. A mineral pigment or filler such as plaster of paris, barium sulphate, sand, clay, infusorial earth, wool, silica, mica, &c. and a fibrous substance such as hemp, cotton flax, jute, hair, wood pulp, asbestos, or filamentary metal such as wire-gauze may also be used. Fusible phenol formaldehyde resin may be mixed with sufficient formaldehyde or its equivalent and dissolved in a suitable solvent, the fibrous material added, and the mass thoroughly mixed. The solvent is then removed, and the dried mass, after being comminuted, pressed while heating. When flexible sheets are required, canvas or other fabric is impregnated with a solution of the soluble resin, together, if necessary, with the further quantity of formaldehyde necessary for hardening, and the solvent evaporated. The fabric is then heated under pressure. The resulting sheets may be used for roofing. According to a further method, sheets of the finished product are reinforced by calendering on to a coarse woven fabric, for example, of metal wire, or the fabric may be inserted into the comminuted product before pressing into sheets. Specifications 16,247/99, 3496/11, and 3498/11, [all in Class 70, India-rubber &c.], are referred to.

Patent GB-191124164-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Luminescent Tubes for Rare Gases.
IPC: H01J61/28
Filed: 1911-10-31
Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 24,164. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et 1'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude). Nov. 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Vacuum tubes.-A lighting-tube containing neon or a similar gas has electrodes the surface areas of which exceed 1À5 square decimetres per ampere, to avoid excessive heating of the electrodes and consequent rapid occlusion of the gas by metallic deposits on the tubes. At long intervals during use, additional gas is introduced through a valve from a bottle, which for the purpose of purifying the gas contains lithium or the like, or coco-nut charcoal, the bottle being in the latter case immersed in liquid air when the valve is opened. A pressure gauge may be connected to the tube. Variations in the current in the intervals between the admissions of gas may be prevented by an automatically - adjustable or other resistance or inductance. To expel occluded gas from the electrodes while the tube is being rinsed out with gas as described in Specification 5589/11, the electrodes are heated by means of a large current, or by wrapping asbestos paper or the like round the tube in their vicinity. A receptacle containing charcoal and communicating with the tube may be heated at the beginning of the exhaustion, being then allowed to cool slowly to atmospheric temperature; after this, the final charge of gas is admitted and the receptacle is cooled by liquid air. The gas used may be carefully dried to prevent the formation of hydrogen in the tube. The reddish tint of neon is diminished by using a high currentdensity, say one ampere for a tube of 45 mm. diameter. A tube 6 metres long with alternating current requires 800 volts. Short tubes may be used with low-pressure continuous current, extra current being used for starting. The tube may be of silica, and the electrodes of carbon, iron, copper, or aluminium. Lamps of high power may be used in conjunction with mercury-vapour lamps. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the electrodes may be kept out of contact with the tube by means of glass beads. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Inventor: JAUBERT GEORGE FRANCOIS
IPC: C01B3/10
Filed: 1912-02-28
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 5005. Jaubert, G. F. March 4, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 9623/11.] Hydrogen is prepared in a closed vessel by the auto-combustion of a metal, metalloid, or alloy, previously heated to a very high temperature, in the presence of water vapour as the only oxidant, thus: 3FeSi6 + 40H2O = Fe3O4 + 18SiO2 + 40H,. The most suitable bodies are ferro-alloys, particularly of silicon, aluminium, manganese and calcium. The adition of an alkaline base, for instance lime, is advantageous. In carrying out the process continuously, the material treated may be introduced through a hopper c into a refractory tank a provided with an aperture b for discharging the resulting scoria, a water or water-vapour supply-pipe f embedded in the walls and having injection nozzles g opening into the tank, and, lastly, a hydrogendischarge pipe h. The kindling is effected in any suitable manner, as by means of a pill of gunpowder &c. which is ignited with an ordinary match. As required, metal in powder or small particles is introduced through the hopper c, with or without the addition of an alkaline base, while the scoria are withdrawn through the aperture b provided.
