Title: Improved Process for Producing Solid Zinc Hydrosulphite Difficultly Soluble in Water.
Inventor: BOLLE CARL
Filed: 1903-04-25
Granted: 1904-04-25
Abstract: 9360. BollÚ, C., [Chemische Fabrik Gr³nau Landshoff & Meyer Akt.-Ges.]. April 25. Right to Patent relinquished. Zinc hyposulphite is obtained in a form difficultly soluble in water by passing sulphur dioxide into a mixture of zinc dust and a small quantity of water until all the zinc is dissolved, the temperature being kept below 45‹ C., and then adding to the solution finely powdered sodium bisulphite while stirring. Zinc hyposulphite is precipitated and is filtered off leaving a useful bye-product, namely, bisulphite solution.' Alternatively, liquid anhydrous sulphurous acid may be added to the mixture of zinc and water. Any sodium bisulphite remaining in the zinc hyposulphite improves the action of the latter with difficulty mordanted dye-stuffs.

Title: Improvements in Electrical Power Factor Indicators.
Inventor: CAROLAN EDGAR ALFRED
Filed: 1903-05-22
Granted: 1904-03-31
Abstract: 11,726. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. May 22. Testing.-A power - factor indicator, for use on an alternating-current circuit 3, 4, has an axle 7 carrying a pointer 12 over a calibrated scale 13, and two coils 5, 6, set at an angle, within the field of stationary main-current coils 1, 2. The coil 6 is connected in series with a non- inductive resistance 8 between the mains 3, 4, so that its current and magnetic field are in phase with the applied pressure. The ends of the other coil 5 are connected separately through a condenser 10 and an inductance coil 11 to the main 3, and the middle of the winding of the coil 5 is connected to the main 4. By these connections the phases of the currents in the two halves of the coil 5 are displaced from the applied pressure so that the currents both flow in one direction round the coil, and produce a magnetic field in quadrature to that of the coil 6. The axle 7 with the coils 5, 6 is free to turn, and takes a definite position depending on the phase of the main current in the coils 1, 2 relative to the applied pressure. The indication is not affected by variations in the main current or pressure, or by moderate changes in frequency, which increase the current in one half of the coil 5 and correspondingly diminish the current in the other half. The arrangement of the instrument may be varied.
