Title: Parallel Connected Exhaust Gas Heat Exchangers for a Motor Vehicle Engine
Inventor: STARK ROLAND
IPC: F01M5/02
Filed: 2009-07-03
Abstract: A heat exchanging system suitable for use in an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) circuit of an engine 5 has a split EGR heat exchanger arrangement 1, 2, 3, and can include an associated EGR valve 7. Exhaust gas is used to warm engine oil via a first heat exchanger 1 during initial stages of an engine operating cycle.

Abstract: 759,872. Stop-motion for automatic looms. URQUHART LINDSAY & ROBERTSON ORCHAR, Ltd. Feb. 24, 1955 [April 8, 1954], No. 10313/54. Addition to 740,355. Class 142 (2). In a loom having a cop changing mechanism as in the parent Specification a trip mechanism is operated from a rod controlling the take-up to stop the loom when a shuttle is exhausted and the cop magazine is empty. When weft replenishment is initiated, movement of the takeup control rod 38 pivots a trip lever 83 about its fulcrum 84 by a spring 82 on the rod. An arm 91 on the lever 83 is raised and a pin 85 carried by the arm abuts the underside of a slotted lever 26 but does not engage a hole 86 therein because the lever 26 has been moved to one side during weft replenishment. The lever 26 returns to its usual position during the next pick and the pin 85 then engages the hole 86. If weft is absent on the following pick, the locking of the lever 26 by the pin 86 causes the mechanism to operate as for a weft break, and the starting handle is moved to the " Off " position as described in the parent Specification.

Abstract: 555,254. Photograhic toning processes. STARNES, F. C., and JOHNSON & SONS, MANUFACTURING CHEMISTS, Ltd. July 23, 1942, No. 10329. [Class 98 (ii)] Part of the silver image of a monochrome photograph is converted into a coloured dye image by first bleaching that part of the silver image to silver halide without the use of a resist and then treating the halide with a solution consisting of a colour developer and one or more colour formers, the part of the original silver image unconverted into silver halide remaining unchanged. Different parts of the silver image may be converted into differently coloured dye images by first bleaching each portion of the silver image to silver halide and then colour developing. The bleaching may be effected by local treatment with a brush damped with a solution of potassium ferricyanide and potassium bromide. The colour developing agent may be N:N-dimethylp-phenylenediamine, N:N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine, or amino diethylamino toluene, and the colour former may be alpha naphthol or a chloro or other substitution product thereof, acetoacetanilide or a chloro or other substitution product thereof, furoylacet o-chloranilide, coumarone, p-nitronhenylacetonitrile, or p-nitrobenzvl cyanide. After colour development the print is fixed and washed. The silver in the coloured part of the print may be removed by brushing with hypo-ferricyanide solution. The process may be applied to positive transparencies, and to sensitized fabrics, wood, or metal. The material may be in the form of a long web treated by rollers provided with suitably shaped felt nads, the washing being effected by immersion in troughs. Glycerine may be added to the reagents to facilitate local treatment.
