Title: Improvements in and relating to the Recovery of Carbonic Acid from Waste Gases
Filed: 1904-06-27
Granted: 1905-04-13
Abstract: 14,464. Lake, H. H., [Chemisch-Technische Fabrik Dr. A. R. W. Brand & Co.]. June 27. Carbonic acid.-Relates to the recovery of carbonic acid from waste gases by absorbing in a solution of carbonate and heating the resulting bicarbonate solution, the processes of absorption and separation being rendered more complete by the addition of a froth-forming substance to the absorbing-liquid. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, gases enter by the pipe a into the cylinder b into which is also led potassium carbonate solution by the pipe c ; soap, saponin, or other froth-forming substances, is then added, and bubbles are caused to form by the rotation of the perforated drum e. The froth passes to a second cylinder b<1> where it is subdivided by a similar drum e<1>, and from here to a third cylinder, and so on, if necessary. The froth finally passes by the pipe l to the tank m, in which it settles. In the modified apparatus shown in Fig. 2, a perforated drum b<3> is enclosed in a case and rotates on a shaft h<3> ; above the drum is a protecting-plate g<3> which does not touch the walls of the case, and above this is a cover c<3>. The gases and absorbing-liquid enter by the pipe a<3>, and the froth passes out by the pipe e<3> and into a second similar vessel at a lower level, and so on. In another modification, the vessels are placed in a vertical column and the drums are rotated by a common shaft ; the bottom parts of each element of the apparatus are funnel-shaped and are connected to the next element by a pipe which surrounds the common shaft ; the inlet pipe leads into the top of this pipe. Fig. 4 shows the apparatus employed for the separation of the carbonic acid from the bicarbonate solution. The liquid, to which froth - forming substance is added, if necessary, passes through the apparatus u by the pipe o, is led by the pipe p to the first heater q and from here by the pipe r to the heater s. It is here heated to the decomposition temperature of the bicarbonate and the resulting froth passes out by the pipe t into the cooling-chamber u, in which the bubbles burst ; the carbonic acid is led away by the pipe v and the remaining mono-carbonate solution passes out by the pipe w and may be used again. The bicarbonate solution will not pass out of the heaters shown until it is decomposed and gives rise to froth. The vessels s, q are preferably heated by the waste gases from the furnace z ; this arrangement also effects the preliminary cooling of these gases and renders them suitable for treatment by the absorbing-solutions.

Abstract: 8932. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Dawson, W. F. April 12. Field magnets.-The revolving field coils of highspeed machines such as turbo-generators are held in place by means of laminated retaining-devices. The retaining-device consists of three groups of laminµ riveted together. The two outer groups a are of substantially triangular shape, and are provided with openings b. The central laminµ d are cut away as shown in order to allow of the insertion of a laminated link e having an aperture g, partly registering with the aperture b in the laminµ a. The link e is firmly secured at its inner end by means of a bolt, and tapered keys k are driven into the apertures b, g to draw down the retaining- member into place. A laminated beading l may be secured to the outer edge of the retaining-member.

Title: Improvements relating to Telephonic Systems and to Apparatus therefor.
Filed: 1906-05-05
Granted: 1907-06-05
Abstract: 10,602. Lake, H. H., [Stromberg - Carlson Telephone Manufacturing Co.]. May 5. Telephone systems; telephone calls.-Relates to the circuit connexions of subscriber's apparatus in central - battery telephone systems. When the hook-switch is in its raised position, the primary 15 of the induction coil and the transmitter 11 are in series with the line-wires 1, 2, and the primary is shunted by the secondary 16, the receiver 12, and the condenser 14. The primary and secondary coils are wound in opposition, and have the same number of ampere turns for the voice-currents passing through them, thus eliminating inductive effects. The received voice - currents passing through the primary 15 induce further currents in the secondary, thus increasing the effect on the receiver. The bell is indicated at 13. The linesignalling mechanism 3, which does not form part of the invention, comprises a low-resistance differentially-wound relay and a high-resistance line indicator, so arranged that when the calling subscriber removes his receiver, the line indicator is energized, but not the relay. The insertion of the answering-plug causes the battery current to flow principally through one winding of the relay and the clearing-out lamp 9, so that the relay is now energized, and attracts its armature to cut out the line indicator.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Conditioning or Improving the Quality of Wheat and other Grain for Milling.
Inventor: PAUL WILLIAM HEWITT
Filed: 1907-10-31
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 24,129. Paul, W. H. Oct. 31. Bleaching; conditioning wheat &c.-Wheat and other grain is washed in the ordinary manner and is then placed while damp in a silo and allowed to remain until the moisture has sufficiently penetrated the outer coverings. It is afterwards subjected to a dry heat at about 100‹ F., or live steam may be used, precautions being taken to prevent excessive damping. One form of apparatus consists of a jacketed cylinder in which works a revolving worm, the temperature being regulated by a steam-inlet valve. The grain then passes to a second silo where it remains for a time varying according to the hardness of the grain and the amount of moisture it contains. The grain is easy to grind and gives large bran and white semolina and flour.
