Title: Vent gas control system
IPC: C07C209/36
Filed: 1972-01-06
Abstract: 1382344 Automatic control of chemical plant E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO 6 Jan 1972 [6 Jan 1971] 692/72 Heading G3R In a process for automatically controlling the amount of inert impurity in the gaseous phase in a reactor in which dinitrotoluene is reacted with impure hydrogen gas feed to produce tolylene diamine in which hydrogen feed the impurity concentration is liable to vary, and from which reactor unreacted gas is vented, the variation of the concentration of impurities in the gas phase from a desired value in the range of 10 to 15 mole per cent is controlled by measuring the dinitrotoluene feedrate, the impurity concentration in the gas feed, the impurity concentration in the gas phase in the reaction zone and vented and the vent gas flow-rate, calculating the desired vent gas flow-rate from a given equation, by automatic control means, whereafter the vent gas flow-rate is adjusted by the automatic control means to the desired value. The measurements may be caused to send signals to an analog computer which is programmed to automatically calculate the desired vent gas flow-rate in accordance with the given equation, and then give out a signal to automatically adjust the vent gas flow-rate accordingly. Thus in the Figure, impure hydrogen is fed into reactor 1 through conduit 3 the impurity concentration being measured by gauge 18 which sends a signal to analog computer 17, and dinitrotoluene is fed into reactor 1 through conduit 4 and.its flow-rate is measured by orifice plate 15 which sends a signal to computer 17. Vent gas leaves through 7 and its flow-rate is measured by orifice plate 22 which sends a signal to flow controller 24 which sends a signal to analog computer 17 and vent gas flow control valve 25. The impurity concentration in the gas phase in the reactor I is measured by venting through 2 to analyzer 21 which sends a signal to computer 17, which is programmed to calculate the required vent gas flow-rate, and the rate of vent gas flow is automatically adjusted to this rate. Tolylene diamine is drawn off at 8.

Title: A method and a device for the automatic supervision of the operation of parallel electric circuits
IPC: H03F1/54
Filed: 1953-01-09
Abstract: 747,725. Protective arrangements. TESLA, NARODNI PODNIK. Jan. 9,1953 [Jan. 17, 1952], No. 708/53. Class 38(5) [Also in Group XL(c)] In a device for signalling a defective circuit 1 (such as a valve) in a group of circuits, each is associated with an auxiliary circuit 5 the voltage across which is indicative of the current flowing in the circuit 1, and a rectifier 2 is biased to its non-conducting condition so that when the circuit 1 fails, the drop in potential across the auxiliary circuit 5 is such that current flows through the rectifier 2 and relay A operates to cause a selector switch D to step. A potential from divider 17, 18 is applied by selector D to each of the auxiliary circuits 5 in turn until the defective circuit is reached, whereupon the rectifier 2 is again biased off to release relay A and stop the switch D. The operation of relay A on fault completes a circuit for coil D which pulls up, closing a circuit for relay B which then opens the circuit for coil D, this co-operation of B, D producing the stepping movement. The wiper 12 moves on to bank DI which causes an alarm relay C to operate and lock up. The drive magnet D continues to step until the wiper on bank DII stops at the faulty circuit. The switch may be homed by depression of interconnected keys 14, 15.

Title: Improved apparatus for removing awns, shells, husks and other outer coverings from the grains of agricultural crops
IPC: B02B3/08
Filed: 1957-01-08
Abstract: 855,597. Thrashing machines. DRONNING- BORG MASKINFABRIK A.S. Jan. 8, 1957 [Jan. 16, 1956 ; April 10, 1956], No. 767/57. Class 6(3). Apparatus for removing husks and shells from threshed grain comprises (as shown in Fig. 1), a rotary beating device 23 housed in a perforated, cylindrical screen 10, mounted inside a housing 30. Grain is fed continuously into the screen via an axial opening 14 therein, and is subjected to a flailing action by the rotating beaters 25, the latter being so shaped that the grain is passed backwards and forwards along the screen. The separate husks and any impurities in the grain are forced through the perforations in the screen and discharged through the bottom 31 of the housing, whilst the pressure of the grain retained in the screen gradually increases until it is sufficient to open a spring-loaded door 16 in the wall of the screen, the grain passing from thence via an aperture 32 in the housing to a cleaning and sorting plant. That end of the screen which is opposite the opening 14 is provided with a removable cover, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the interior of the screen which is preferably removably mounted within the housing 30 so that it may be replaced by one having holes of a different size. The apparatus may be incorporated in a threshing machine, and reference is made in the Specification to the fact that by providing the screen with holes of various sizes, the apparatus could be used for sorting material which comprises grains of different sizes. The apparatus may be modified as shown in Fig. 3, by providing a screen 10 which is angularly adjustable so that its discharge aperture 15 may register with either of the apertures 32 and 33 in the housing. In the latter position of the screen, a hinged door 34 in the wall of the housing is utilized to direct the discharge from the screen through either the outlet 35 of the bottom 31 of the housing. In this arrangement there is no restriction on the discharge of grain from the screen and the flailing treatment it receives is therefore less vigorous.
