Patent GB-925073-A (GB)
Title: Improved flavoring materials
IPC: A23L27/28
Filed: 1959-06-15
Abstract: A beverage flavour resembling in flavour and aroma chocolate, coffee, tea and the like, is produced by heating in a vessel a hydrous mixture of a yeast, a saccharide and a vegetable to achieve rapidly an elevated temperature of at least 350 DEG  F., enclosing the gaseous constituents developed to maintain the hydrous condition, maintaining the conditions for a holding period sufficient to develop flavour and, upon development, rapidly reducing the temperature of the reaction liquor to a temperature at which flavour development is arrested.  The flavour employed either alone or in combination with other flavour and aroma constituents, such as astringency and bitterness factors, has an aroma and taste suitable for beverages, food products, icings, confections and candy.  The term "saccharide" is defined as a reducing sugar or saccharide capable of reducing Fehling's solution to give cuprous oxide, or any saccharide and other material which provides a reducing saccharide under the conditions of reaction; many specific examples are given.  The term "vegetable" is defined as a non-leafy, edible, green vegetable fruit and seed such as cucumber, egg plant, green peppers, beans, lentils, peas, soy beans and green corn.  According to an example, 250 g. dried yeast, 150 g. corn syrup solids, 20 g. calcium carbonate, 10 g. dehydrated red bell peppers, 10 g. dry green split peas, 10 g. dry green lentils and 900 ml. water were thoroughly mixed and then placed in a 2-litre reaction autoclave. The reaction mixture was brought to the atmospheric boiling point, the autoclave was then sealed, and the reactants were heated with continuous agitation to 350 DEG  F. in 27 minutes and to 405 DEG  F. in an additional 7 minutes; this was followed by immediate quenching to 120 DEG  F. within 5 minutes, and reduction to room temperature in a total time of 12 minutes.  The reaction liquor was filtered and the filtrate was diluted to form an aqueous solution of 2% solids concentration.  In a further example, the filtered reaction liquor was dried to give a readily reconstitutable tan-coloured powder; calcium carbonate was included in the reaction mixture as a buffering agent, so that the reconstituted powder should have a pH within the preferred range of 4.5 to 5.2, whereby curdling of cream to which this may be added, is avoided.  Other buffering agents are also mentioned.  Specifications 925,071 and 925,072 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in connection with the Purification of Water.
Inventor: CANDY FRANK PULLEN
IPC: C02F1/76
Filed: 1918-12-12
Abstract: 136,266. Candy, F. P. Dec. 12, 1918. Purifying liquids.-Apparatus for treating water with gas, such as chlorine, from a high-pressure source comprises a chamber, the admission of the gas to which is so controlled that the pressure therein is suitably above that of the flowing water at the point where the gas is supplied to the water. The gas is thus supplied proportionally. Chlorine under pressure, as from a cylinder, enters the chamber 1 through a pipe 2 and valve 4, which is opened by a wedge 7 supported from a float 5. The valve may alternatively have an upturned mouth, and a lever arrangement may replace the wedge. A pipe 8 connects the chamber to the water conduit, e.g. to the upstream end of a; Venturi pipe or its equivalent, and the float admits chlorine until the pressure of the gas within the chamber is equal to that of the water. The gas leaves through the pipe 9 which is connected to the throat of the Venturi pipe. The height of the chamber 1 relative to the water conduit is suitably selected having regard to the required gas pressure. When the pressure in the conduit at the point of admission of the gas is constant, the pipe 8 may be connected to any suitable constant-pressure liquid supply, a liquid such as brine or carbon tetrachiuride, from which the chlorine will not absorb moisture, being especially suitable. Such liquids may also be used in the chamber 1 when the water pressure is variable, a suitable air or other trap being then provided in the pipe 8; or a layer of paraffin oil may float on the water in the chamber 1, or contact of chlorine and water may be minimized by providing a division across the chamber, the float rod turning through a nicely-fitting orifice in the division. Fig. 8 shows apparatus in which the float is replaced by a flexible diaphragm 21, an adjustable spring 23 being provided to aid the pressure of the water. A vessel 25, Fig. 9, loaded with shot may be substituted for the spring, the rod 27 connecting the vessel with the diaphragm passing loosely through the top of the chamber 1, so that liquid pressure from the pipe 8 is applied to the upper side of the diaphragm.

Abstract: 499,802. Look - out rejectors for vehicles. LUNDSTROM, N. O. V. July 30, 119,37, No. 21169. [Class 103 (ii)] An observation device for reflecting a view at the rear of a vehicle to the driver comprises means for displacing a mirror outwardly laterally of the vehicle, the means being adapted, or including a device adapted, during the displacement, automatically to adjust the angle of inclination of the mirror to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle in such relation to the degree of displacement as to cause the mirror whatever its position, to reflect the said view. As shown in the Figure the mirror 24 is adjustably mounted on the downwardly-extending outer end of a curved rod 21 which is secured at its inner end to a spring-pressed piston 20 slidable in a similarly-curved casing 17 fixed to the instrument-board 12, the rod being slidable through a plug 18 closing the outer end of the casing and through a corner post 14 of the vehicle body. Rotation of the rod is prevented by a screw 28 projecting from the piston 20 sliding in a slot 27 in the casing, the screw serving also to fix the piston in any position. The curvature of the casing and rod should be that of a parabola having its focus at the point c but for practical purposes the curvature may be that of a circular arc having its centre at the point e. Three other constructions are described in detail in which (a) the casing is mounted on the roof of the vehicle and the rod is non-rotatably mounted therein and is threaded to engage an internallythreaded sleeve adapted to be rotated, in order to move the rod laterally of the vehicle, by a piece of cord arranged near the driver ; (b) a plurality of solenoids are arranged on the casing and the rod carries an armature so that when the solenoids are energized the rod is moved laterally of the vehicle ; and (c) the casing is formed straight and the rod carries a device in which a mirror-carrying spindle is mounted and is adapted, as the rod is moved laterally, to be rotated automatically by gearing connected to a helically-grooved shaft which is rotated by engaging a fixed projection on the casing. In the last case, the rod carries a piston dividing the casing into two chambers connected to a control valve by means of which either chamber may be connected to the intake manifold of the engine.

Class 108(3) An anti-vibration mounting comprises a columnar member 11 passing centrally through an annular base-member 10, and resiliently supported at both its ends, the resilient support for one end, at least, comprising a set of helical springs 12 arranged with their axes on the surface of a cone, and damping sleeves 16 frictionally engaging the exterior or interior surfaces of some, at least, of the springs 12. The invention is described as applied to a mounting of the kind forming the subject of Specification 571,026. The sleeves 16, shown, are of metal, and are split so that they can be sprung into position over the terminal portions of the springs. When the sleeves 16 are to be disposed within the interior of the spring, the sleeve is positioned within the spring before the terminal portion is formed at one end. Alternatively, the sleeves may be continuous and formed of "Vinylite" (Registered Trade Mark), wire gauze, or a silicone material. Axial movement of the e mounting is limited by plates 18. Radial movement is limited by a cylindrical sheet-metal member 19 having spring fingers 20. Alternatively, Fig. 3 (not shown), the member 11 may be formed with a cylindrical enlargement. In a further modification, Figs. 6, 7 (not shown), a plate secured to the member 10 by eyelets, has an aperture surrounding the member 11. Spring fingers turned over from the rim of the aperture, serve to limit relative radial movement of the members 10, 11. In the latter construction, each conically disposed set of springs 12 is secured to a respective plate 10, each of which are rigidly secured by the eyelets.
