Inventor: MAVOR SAMUEL MILLER
Filed: 1908-02-11
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 3038. Mavor, S. M. Feb. 11. [Cognate Application No. 3203, A.D. 1908, dated Feb. 13.] Compressing; transmitting power. - In compressedair installations for use in mines, where certain machines may require air at a greater pressure than that in the ordinary compressed - air main, such air is supplied directly to the machine by an auxiliary compressor, which draws from the main and is driven by a compressed-air motor, which operates with compressed air drawn from the main also. The auxiliary compressor C draws from the main B and is driven by a compressed-air motor A, which operates with compressed air drawn from the main B also. The exhaust from the motor is passed through the jacket E of the compressor so as to absorb the heat of compression.

Title: A Process for Converting Carbohydrates into Hydrocarbons.
Inventor: HEINEMANN ARTHUR
Filed: 1908-06-22
Granted: 1909-09-22
Abstract: 13,252. Heinemann, A. June 22. Isoprene and its polymers; laevulinic acid; thiophene compounds.-Carbohydrates, such as sugars, dextrin, starch, gums, cellulose, &c., are converted by boiling with dilute acid into laevulinic acid and then into a body of the thiophene group by heating with a sulphur compound. The product is finally reduced at a high temperature by nascent or ordinary hydrogen, water gas, &c. in the presence of finely divided metal to isoprene or a polymer thereof, the polymers being formed if the reduction occurs at a temperature above 500‹ C. In an example, the laevulinic acid heated with phosphorus trisulphide produces thiotolene, and with phosphorus pentasulphide, thiotenol, which may be reduced to thiotolene by phosphorus trisulphide, or by hydrogen. Other sulphur compounds such as the sulphides of sodium, potassium, calcium, arsenic, &c., hydrogen sulphide, ammonium hydrosulphide, sulphur dioxide &c. or free sulphur may replace phosphorus sulphides. The finely divided metals that may be used are copper, nickel, iron, silver, &c.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Tools for Metal Working, Shearing, and the like through the Agency of the Oxy-acetylene Blowpipe and the like.
Inventor: MORRISON ERNEST ROLAND
Filed: 1909-06-08
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 27,954. Morrison, E. R. June 8, 1909. Working by unclassified operations; soldering.- The cutting points or edges of machine tools for metal-working, shearing, or like operations are armoured with high-speed steel by autogenous welding with the oxy-acetylene or like blowpipe. The flame is directed on to the two edges of metals held closely together until near fusion, when the flame is played more fully on the high-speed steel, which melts and falls drop by drop on the tool. Lengths of high-speed steel may be welded by this process to lengths of ordinary steel by first chamfering the edges to be joined and then fusing together, drops of mild steel being used to complete the weld. If the high-speed steel is not of the requisite quality, the extremity of the steel while in a state of semi-fusion is applied to small particles of metals or their oxides, such as nickel, tungsten, chromium, manganese, &c. which become incorporated with the cutting-portion, and the whole is then well fused. Specifications No. 354, A.D. 1876, No. 4675, A.D. 1890, No. 4036, A.D. 1894, No. 13,565, A.D. 1896, No. 16,647, A.D. 1905, No. 8683, A.D. 1906, Nos. 86, 3678, 16,879, and 20,417, A.D. 1907, and No. 352, A.D. 1908, are referred to.

Abstract: 20,950. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Sept. 14. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-To assist the threading-device T of the shuttle to assume control of the fresh filling-thread, a supply of air obtained from a fan or blower M is introduced through an air nozzle 2 and directed downwards upon the shuttle close to the threading- device, each time the shuttle enters the box B and the lay beats-up. The air blast prevents twisting &c. of the thread, and also clears the shuttle of lint or fluff around the threading-device and delivery eye, besides assisting in the withdrawal of the old weft end during replenishing. A second air nozzle 5, located behind the nozzle 2, direct an air blast downwards upon the shuttle and longitudinally towards the inner end thereof, when the shuttle is in the box B, and before the lay reaches the front centre, thus checking the tendency for the weft to be thrown ahead and thus form a loop.

Abstract: 13,108. Reinhardt, W. May 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Processes for reduction of grain.-In preparing malt for modern brewing processes indicated in the Specification, it is passed through a mill having three sets of rollers.
