Abstract: 1367105 Transferring articles in batches between conveyers A C FORMO 13 Dec 1971 [14 Dec 1970] 57841/71 Heading B8A Toilet rolls conveyed in two streams on respective side-by-side conveyer belts 20, 20, collect on a dead plate 30 at the downstream end of the conveyers in a group, the number of which is determined by the longitudinal position of adjustment of a stop 34. Switches (39) (Fig. 2, not shown) on the stop, initiate the rotation of paddle-like members 32 from the position shown in Fig. 8, through Fig. 9, to the position of Fig. 10 in which a predetermined number of the rollers are lifted into the line of action of a conveyer flight 41. The latter transfers the group to a bagging station. The switches 39 (which are in series) are operated when a predetermined degree of pressure in generated by the backed up rolls. The switches 39, 39, also energize motors 26 (Fig. 4) which operate clamps 22, 22. These hold the streams of rolls on the conveyer, and due to the mounting of the clamps 22, 22 on parallel links 23, 24, the leading rolls (i.e. immediately downstream of the group formed on the plate 30) are pressed backwards slightly so as to create a clearance which permits rotation of the members 32.

Abstract: 1338080 Fire-proofing wood KANAMARK DANISH CANADIAN ENG CO Ltd AS 21 Dec 1970 [23 Dec 1969] 60579/70 Heading D1P A method for the fire-inhibiting impregnation of wood, e.g. in the form of veneers, sheets, flakes, chips or sawdust, comprises impregnating the wood in a dry state with a solution of a monomer component selected from phenol, dihydroxybenzenes, urea, melamine and mixtures thereof, heat treating to remove the solvent, impregnating with a formaldehyde solution, and heat treating to remove the solvent and to form a polymeric material by reaction of the monomer component with the formaldehyde. A fire inhibiting salt such as borax, and boric acid, may be incorporated in the monomer component. The solutions may be aqueous and applied at normal or reduced pressure, and at elevated temperature. In a plant for continuously carrying out the above method, wood is cut at 1 into a strip of veneer which is wound on a roll 2. Veneer from the roll is passed through a section 3 of a 160‹C oven for drying, through a double curtain of liquid for impregnating with the monomer component, through a second oven section 6 for solvent removal, through a double curtain of liquid at 7 for impregnating with the formaldehyde, through a third oven section 9 for solvent removal and polymer formation, and through a cooler 10 before being cut at 11 into lengths 13. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown) the oven sections 3, 6, 9 are replaced by separate longitudinally spaced ovens and the impregnation is effected by immersion. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown) for carrying out the method discontinuously, the veneer is passed repeatedly through a single oven. For the impregnation of wood chips &c., the Figs. 1, 2 and 3 apparatus may incorporate a perforated conveyor belt for the transport of the chips &c. For the treatment of sawdust, a non-absorbing glass or nylon fibre conveyor belt is used.

The computer has a main memory section 10 including a core memory 20 and clock driven control means for processing main memory instructions, an arithmetic section 12, and unit 14 which includes an independently addressable read only memory 48 holding microinstructions for controlling the main memory, up to six microinstructions being executed during one main memory cycle. Auxiliary unit 14.-An address is provided from incrementer/decrementer 70 or from one of branch address registers 60-68 to a first register 50 which causes a 120 bit word to be accessed from ROM 48 to a second register 52. During succeeding cycles of memory 48 branch addresses (of possible branches after the current microinstruction" has been executed) are derived from the word and passed to the respective registers 60-68. Each register has a respective flip-flop 76 which can be set to binary 1 if and when a test corresponding to that branch is successfully executed in the main part of the computer. On receipt of a control signal, logic 72 selects a branch (possibly on a priority basis) having its flip-flop set and a branch address stored to transfer this branch address to register 50. If no such branch address is available, one is provided by the incrementer/decrementer 70. In a preferred embodiment the testing is effected after the branch addresses have gone to registers 60-68. By this arrangement all possible branch addresses are ready and tested before the next microinstruction needs to be accessed, hence reducing delay.

Abstract: 643,184. Cooling powdered material. LUWA AKT.-GES., and ANDERMATT, C. Dec. 30, 1947, No. 34661. Convention date, July 9, 1946. [Class 64(ii)] Relates to a process for cooling a powder yielded by the pulverization drying process and continually exhausted from the drying chamber by means of a stream of the gas used for drying, in which, after the mixture of drying gas and powder has been withdrawn from the drying chamber, firstly a portion of the drying gas is withdrawn after which the powder, together with the remainder of the drying gas, is passed into a current of cool gas flowing in the same direction and is carried therein to a dust extractor, the powder being cooled in transit to the dust extractor by contact with the cool gas. According to the invention, a plurality of such devices are connected in parallel the powder'and drying gas residue being combined in each single stream with an adjustable current of added cooling gas and the separate steams being combined into a single stream leading to the dust extractor. Apparatus for carrying out the process comprises, in the form shown, a plurality of drying gas extractors 2, 3 connected to the pulverization drying chambers (not shown) by means of a duct 1 and each having a pipe 9 contiguous thereto for the cooling gas which continues the conveyance of the powder. The pipes 9 are ultimately combined in a duct 10 which leads to the dust extractor. Each pipe 9 has an initial portion 6 of enlarged crosssection into which projects the discharge opening 16 leading from the drying gas extractor 2 or 3 and the cooling gas enters this enlarged section at a point 7 which lies behind the opening 16. To prevent condensation in the dust extractor that portion which projects into the enlarged portion of the pipe 9 may be provided with a heat-insulating envelope 15. The chambers formed by the enlargement of the pipe 9 may be divided into two parts 11, 12 by a perforated transverse wall or by a local constriction in the enlargement 6 or by an adjustable flanged ring 14. That portion of the drying gas which is extracted initially is led away through the duct 4. Air or an inert gas is mentioned as the cooling medium.
