Title: Method for the Transmission of Sound to Long Distances and Telephonic Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: TARDIEU VICTORIEN
Filed: 1904-05-16
Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 11,262. Tardieu, V. May 16. Telephone systems; telephones.-Sounds are transmitted to long distances by telephonic apparatus comprising a special microphone and receiver, the sound waves or speech entering the microphone being converted into waves of higher frequency by means of open, or partly or wholly closed tubes, or hollow bodies in the microphone. Fig. 1 shows the microphone, and Fig. 5 the receiver. In front of the carbon plate 2 of the microphone is the metal disc 4, and behind the carbon plate 3 is the metal plate 5. The closed spaces formed by these plates correspond to the tones which it is desired to produce. The projecting edge of the back carbon plate 3 has circular grooves 6, of V-shape, to receive the small carbon balls 7, which just touch each other. The depth, width, and distance apart of the grooves 6, as well as the size of the balls 7, are apportioned according to the relation of the sounding bodies and the tone produced. Moisture is led to the small tube 13. At the back of the microphone are the opening 17 and the second gauze disc 15. The carbon plates 2, 3 bear upon the ebonite ring 18, against which they are held by the screwed rings 10, 19. The microphone can be rotated in the ring 20, and is adapted to be taken apart for purposes of cleanliness. The casing 23 of the receiver is of the same internal diameter as the microphone. The suspended electromagnet has two annular discs 31 with pole-pieces 42, 43 carrying the coils, of equal height and equidistant from the plate 29. The cover 26 is arched towards the ear piece 27, and the opening 24 in the rear wall of the casing is larger than that of the front wall, so that speech can be heard from the rear when speaking at short distances. An articulated joint in a table form of apparatus is provided for the adjustment of the microphone, and a bayonet joint in a wall form of apparatus. The telephone may be arranged in a simpler hand form, and the microphone adapted as a central-exchange instrument.

Title: An Improved Method of Separating Air and Gaseous Mixtures into their Elements, and Apparatus therefor.
Filed: 1904-05-31
Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 12,358. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des ProcÚdÚs G. Claude), and LÚvy, R. J. June 3, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Oxygen; nitrogen.- Relates to a process and apparatus for separating a gaseous mixture into its elements, the preparation of oxygen from liquid air being described. The apparatus consists of a metallic insulated casing A divided into two compartments M, N by a horizontal partition c. The compartments communicate with one another by an overflow pipe g dipping nearly to the bottom of the compartment M. The compartment N is divided by a number of perforated horizontal partitions p, each having an overflow pipe h. A quantity of liquid air is placed in the compartment M, sufficient to cover the coil S, through which cooled air under pressure is passed. This air is liquefied therein, and is subsequently distributed by the tube T, having a valve R, over the top-plate p. The gas given off in the liquefy. ing-vessel M, which after the operation of the apparatus for some time is pure oxygen, passes through an outlet pipe, part being removed if desired by the tube t<3>, and the remainder being distributed by a perforated tube t<2> into the bottom of the compartment N. As the gas rises upwards through the perforations in the plates, it gradually gives up its oxygen, and takes up nitrogen, free nitrogen finally escaping from the highest part, while the liquid gradually becomes richer in oxygen as it flows downwards through the overflow pipes h. Additional cooled air may be introduced at a point t<4>, to be decided by experiment, where the ascending gas is of the composition of ordinary air. The liberated gases are passed through temperature exchangers to cool down the incoming air. Losses of cold may be compensated for, either by introducing supplementary liquid air, or by the expansion of the air to be liquefied, which is subjected for this object to a higher pressure.
