Abstract: 430,659. Control of D.C. motors. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and COLLETT, E. P., Magnet House, Kingsway, London, and TURRALL, J. C., c/o General Electric Co., Witton, Birmingham. Dec. 18, 1933, No. 35609. [Class 38 (iii)] Armature control.-Gravity operated means responsive to the load carried by a vehicle are adapted, when the motor circuit is closed, to control the circuit in such a way that when operating on the level the torque at least at the instant of starting is less for a comparatively small load than a large one. Upon operating a controller 9 to its first position line contactors 3C and 4C are closed, and a self-maintaining contactor 35C, controlling a tapping 31 on the series starting resistance 7, is closed if the vehicle load is sufficient to close contacts 41 of a loading switch in its energizing circuit. Thus with a heavy load a portion of the series resistance 7 is cut out, but with a light load the contactor 35C is not energized, and the full resistance 7 is effective. The energizing circuit of the contactor 35C also includes normally closed auxiliary contacts 42 of the contactor 4C which latter closes with a slight time lag. During movement of the controller through the next two positions, contactors 32C and 33C are closed in turn, while at the fourth position the contactor 3C opens and a contactor 34C closes. In the fifth position a contactor 40C is closed and in the sixth position the contactor 34C is opened, and the contactor 3C reclosed. These steps of armature control are followed by field shunting control in the seventh and eighth positions. The loading switch comprises a fixed contact carried by a cylinder sliding in a second cylinder which carries a spring-biassed adjustably mounted contact, the two cylinders being pivotally connected one to an unsprung part of the vehicle and the other to a sprung part.

Title: Process for preparing fatty acid di-hydroxyalkyl amides, and products of such process
IPC: C07C233/16
Filed: 1955-12-21
Abstract: N : N-Di-(hydroxyalkyl)-amides of fatty acids are prepared by adding to a preformed quantity of such amide in the liquid state a fatty acid ester, di(hydroxyalkyl) amine and an amidation catalyst, reacting the ester and amine to form the amide and recovering the latter.  The reaction may be carried out in two stages by removing some of the liquid and completing the reaction separately, e.g. at a higher temperature.  When this is done continuously sufficient amide must be left behind to maintain the reactants in a homogeneous liquid phase.  The fatty acid ester used may be that of a mono-, dior polyhydric alcohol but it is preferred to use an ester of a monohydric alcohol of 1-5 carbon atoms such as methanol or ethanol, as these alcohols can easily be removed from the product by distillation.  Glyceride esters may, however, be used.  The fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated acids of 10-22 carbon atoms whose esters are normally not miscible with di-(hydroxyalkyl) amines. The catalyst may be an alkali metal or amide or alkoxide thereof, particularly suitable being the alkoxide obtained by reacting the di-(hydroxyalkyl) amine reactant with concentrated aqueous alkali hydroxide and distilling off the water; such catalyst may be formed in situ.  In the examples diethanolamine is reacted with methyl laurate, the methyl ester of coconut acids, and palm oil to give the corresponding amides.  Other specified reactants are the esters of palmitic, stearic, myristic, oleic, ricinoleic, linoleic and linolenic acids, including lard, coconut oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, soy bean oil and hydrogenated fish oil, also fatty acids of beeswax and carnauba wax.  Besides glycerol and methanol the esterifying alcohol may be another alkanol, glycol, sorbitol, mannitol, inositol or pentaerythritol; the latter may be partly or wholly esterified.  Other amines that may be used are dipropanolamine, dibutanolamine, dipentanolamine, dihexanolamine, dioctanolamine and di-glycerol-mono- and diamines.
