Title: Method of leaching raw phosphate
IPC: C01B25/22
Filed: 1928-10-30
Abstract: 313,036. Kunstdunger-Patent-Verwertungs-Akt.-Ges., (Assignees of Liljenroth, F. G.). June 5, 1929, [Convention date]. Phosphoric acid; ammonium phosphates.-In the leaching of raw phosphate with sulphuric acid or acid solutions containing ammonium or alkali sulphates, in which the lime is separated as calcium sulphate, the calcium sulphate is first formed as the semi-hydrate which is crystallized into gypsum, the gypsum being then separated from the solution. The semi-hydrate is obtained by leaching at 90‹ C., or higher, with a rather concentrated solution, or by leaching at a lower temperature, so as to precipitate the calcium sulphate as gypsum, the temperature being then raised to form the semi-hydrate. The leaching liquid containing the semi-hydrate is then cooled or diluted, whereupon the semi-hydrate crystallizes into gypsum. To facilitate the crystallization, gypsum crystals which should be short and compact may be added during the cooling or dilution.

Title: Improvements in adjusting mechanism for a honing tool
IPC: B24B33/02
Filed: 1945-11-26
Abstract: 604,532. Grinding cylinders. BURGESS, A. F. (Barnes Drill Co.). Nov. 26, 1945, No. 31842. [Class 60] [Also in Group XXIX] Adjusting mechanism for a honing tool having radially shiftable abrasive elements comprises, in combination, a member movable longitudinally to shift the abrasive elements of the tool, means for imparting movement to said member including a cylinder closed at both ends, a piston reciprocable in said cylinder and having a piston-rod engageable with said member in the forward movement of the piston, means for supplying pressure fluid to the rear end of said cylinder to move said piston forwardly, said piston acting in such movement to force out fluid trapped in the forward end of the cylinder, and means for metering the discharge of fluid from the forward end of said cylinder in predetermined increments released at accurately timed intervals, and means for varying the lengths of the intervals between successive increments to control the rate at which the abrasive elements of the tool are shifted. The honing tool 20 is mounted on tubular member 19 connected to head 10 which carries a motor M1 for rotating the honing tool, the head 10 being reciprocated by flexible driving members 12 passing round reversible drum 13, driven by motor M through reversing mechanism 14, preferably of the hydraulic type. The head 10 carries a cylinder 26 in which is a piston 25 which through its rod 29 and a push rod 32 effects the expansion of the tool. Pressure fluid is supplied to the cylinder by a pump P driven by motor M2 under the control of a distributing valve V actuated by a solenoid S in parallel with the tool-rotating motor M1. A non-return valve V1 permits entry of fluid into the right-hand end of the cylinder when the piston is to be moved to the left (to collapse the tool), but during movement of the piston to the right causes fluid to exhaust through a metering device comprising a plunger 40 continuously reciprocating in a cylinder having spaced ports 43, 44 connected respectively to the right-hand end of the cylinder 26 and to exhaust; the plunger 40 is provided with an annular groove 42 whereby at each reciprocation of the plunger, a definite quantity of fluid is removed from the right-hand end of the cylinder 26, the size of the groove in the plunger determining the resultant movement of the piston 25. The plunger 40 is reciprocated by the electric motor M2 which drives the pump P, the reciprocation being effected through belt 60, variable speed gearing 56, a crank-pin and a pivoted lever 46; by alteration of the ratio in the gearing 56, the frequency with which the movements of the piston 25 occur can be varied. A stop 77 on the piston-rod 29 serves to hold the non-return valve V1 open so that the metering is ineffective, permitting rapid expansion of the tool until the honing elements contact the work; the piston 25 has then reached a position in which the stop 77 allows the valve V1 to close under a spring; the valve V1 can be opened by the operator at any time by means of a solenoid S 1.

Abstract: 355,578. Cartoon talking-picture films. BLUM & CO., GES., 58, Charlottenstrasse, Berlin.-(Assignees of Blum, C. R.; 54, Badenschestrasse, Sch÷neberg, Berlin.) Oct. 23, 1930, No. 31923. Convention date, Oct. 26, 1929. [Class 40 (ii).] Comprises a method of recording cartoon talking- picture films wherein the-figures or drawings are manipulated and photographed in accordance with a rhythm band bearing indications of sounds adapted to accompany the picture film. Reference is made to Specification 345,278 in which is described a suitable form of rhythm band. A rhythm band 1 is uniformly moved past a stationary reference mark 2 and a cartoon talking-picture film 3 is recorded, after the production of the rhythm band, in synchronism with the sound accompaniment indicated on the latter, by a method shown in Fig. 2. Models or drawings of figures 5, 6 are arranged on a table 4 and photographed on a film 8 by a photographic apparatus 7. The driving means for the film 8 is connected by a flexible shaft 10 and gear wheels 13, 14 to a shaft 11 which can be turned by a crank 12 to move the rhythm band by means of a toothed drum 16. The figures 5, 6 are placed or drawn to correspond with the particular sign under the reference mark 2 and an exposure effected. By then rotating the crank 12 the rhythm band and the film 8 are moved forwards until a further sign comes under the reference mark 2 and the figures 5, 6 photographed in a corresponding new position. In an alternative construction, electric motors electrically coupled together may be employed to drive the picture film and rhythm band. Specifications 332,898, [Class 40 (ii), Phonographs &c.], 339,941, [Class 40 (iii), Telegraphs, Electric], and 341,844, also are referred to.

Patent GB-1042905-A (GB)
Title: Piperazine derivatives
Inventor: FERGUSON ALAN NORMAN
IPC: C06B25/00
Filed: 1964-08-06
Abstract: The invention comprises 1,4-diformyl-2,3,5,6 -tetrahydroxypiperazine and ester and ether derivatives thereof and a process for the preparation of 1,4-diformyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroxypiperazine and derivatives thereof comprising reacting formamide with glyoxal in alkaline reaction conditions.  The glyoxal reactant is conveniently used in the form of its monohydrate which is dissolved in formamide, if necessary on addition of sufficient neutralizing agent, e.g. sodium bicarbonate, to the formamide to facilitate dissolution of the glyoxal but insufficient to initiate the glyoxal-formamide reaction, prior to reaction.  1,4-Diformyl-2,3,5,6 -tetrahydroxypiperazine may be obtained by crystallization from a hot aqueous solution of the glyoxal-formamide reaction product. The hydroxyl groups of the tetrahydroxy compound can be readily esterified or etherified to the esters and ethers of the invention. The tetrahalogeno esters may be further reacted with a nitrating agent, for example silver nitrate dissolved in acetonitrile, to form the tetranitrato ester or with an alcohol in the presence of an agent to neutralize the acid formed to form the corresponding ether derivative. Specified esters are 1,4-diformyl-2,3,4,5,6 -tetra - acetoxy -, - benzoyloxy -, - chloro -, and -nitrato-piperazine and specified ethers are 1,4diformyl -2,3,5,6-tetra-methoxy- and -ethoxypiperazine.  1,2 - Dihydroxy - 1,2 - diformamidoethane, stated to be a new compound, is amongst the by-products of the glyoxal-formamide reaction and can be obtained as a second crop, the first being the tetrahydroxy compound of the invention, on crystallization from a hot aqueous solution of the glyoxal-formamide reaction product.
