Abstract: 1,169,424. Paper filing cabinets. ARENCO ELECTRONICS A.B. 1 Feb., 1967 [14 Feb., 1966], No. 5736/67. Heading B6E. A selector mechanism for filing folders 32, Fig. 1, suspended from a pair of rails 42 in a store room (not shown) comprises a fluid actuated lifting device 12, 13, 16 supporting in a suspended manner a pair of folder engaging grippers 19, 20 which are movable into selective engagement with a filing folder 32, whereupon the lifting device is actuated to lift the filing folder off the rails and transfer it to a despatch station (not shown) by the necessary displacement of a pair of transversely movable carriages 2, 5. In operation the carriage 2 is displaced along tracks 4 for selection of the required filing folder in response to signals generated by a reader (not shown) which is mounted on a gripper frame 18, whereupon the carriage is arrested opposite the selected filing folder and an electro-magnet 36 is energized to cause a valve 35 to actuate the gripper 19. The gripper is provided with a pair of pivotal fingers 21, Fig. 2, which are brought into engagement with the spine of the filing folder 32 by rollers 24 co-operating with cam surfaces on the fingers 21. Subsequently a timer (not shown) energizes an electro-magnet 48 which causes its associated valve 49 to operate a fluid cylinder 13, whereby its piston 16, which is guided in a block 17 from which depends the gripper frame 18, is raised to lift the filing folder off the rails 42. The lifting movement is limited by a micro-switch 46 on the block 17 to energize a motor 10 which causes the carriage 5 to be driven away from the spines of the filing folders. A further micro-switch de-energizes the motor 10 and actuates an electro-magnet 34 which causes its associated valve 33 to operate a fluid cylinder 25 whose piston displaces the gripper 20 into engagement with the spine of the filing folder 32. Thereafter one or both of the carriages 2, 5 is or are driven by their respective motors to advance the filing folder to the despatch station. In another embodiment the horizontal and vertical movements of the lifting device may be replaced by a pivotal movement imparted by a fluid cylinder (60, Fig. 5) to a cradle (57) which is suspended by four links (55) from a baseplate (53) depending from the block 17.

Title: Process for the isolation of fibrinolytic material
Inventor: BUTTI ADRIANO
IPC: A61K35/38
Filed: 1965-02-11
Abstract: A process for the isolation of a fibrinolytic factor from the tissue of animal organs comprises extracting the said tissue with boiling water maintained at a pH from 8 to 9, hydrolysing the extract obtained with a proteinase at a pH from 5 to 6, dialysing the hydrolysed solution, and precipitating material having a fibrinolytic activity with a water-miscible precipitating agent at a pH from 5 to 6.  In an example, swine duodenum was suspended in boiling water at pH 8.6, solids were separated after 12 minutes, and the pH of the extract was adjusted to pH 6 before the extract was subjected to lysis with papainase at 65 DEG C.  After 24 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated and dialysed in bags of Cellophane (the word "Cellophane" is a registered Trade Mark) against running water. The dialysate was then mixed with acetone at pH 5, and the precipitate which formed was collected and dried.  The product may be further purified by treating an aqueous solution thereof with benzyl-dimethyl-2-[2-(p-1,1,3, 3,-tetramethylbutylphenoxy)-ethoxy] ethyl ammonium chloride at pH 12, lowering the pH to 4, and washing the resulting precipitate with deionized water.  The liquids collected were dialysed, the dialysate was adjusted to pH 6.5-7 and poured into acetone containing KCNS. The precipitate was washed with acetone to remove all traces of KCNS, before being vacuum-dried and powdered.

Filed: 1962-02-19
Abstract: 951,723. Cooling and lubricating dynamo-electric machines. AMERICAN RADIATOR & STANDARD SANITARY CORPORATION. Feb. 19, 1962 [Feb. 24, 1961], No. 6338/62. Heading H2A. [Also in Division F4] A rotary machine is cooled by forming liquid refrigerant into a ring adjacent the end of the rotor and then distributing it centrifugally into the rotor/stator gap. Fig. I shows a motor having a hermetically-sealed casing 30. A minor part of the liquid fluorinated carbon refrigerant is distributed from the condenser 12 (Fig. 4) via pipes 62 into annular troughs 60 (Figs. 1, 5) carried on bars 58 projecting from the ends of the rotor 54. The liquid flows over the walls 74, Fig. 5, of the troughs and is distributed centrifugally by the bars 58 on to the end-windings 78 and into the rotor/stator gap. The liquid refrigerant is vaporized by the heat of the motor and the vapour passes via radial passages 81 into an annular passage 86 and hence via a duct 90 (Fig. 4) back to the evaporator. Surplus liquid refrigerant passes via ports 94 into a trap 80 from which it is returned to the evaporator 14 under control of a ball valve 96. Lubricating.-Oil is circulated from a sump 100 by means of a motor-driven pump 102, 104 via pipes 106, 108 into grooved oil-film bearings 36, 38. Leakage of oil into the motor spaces 44 is prevented by an orifice 92 (Fig. 4) which maintains the refrigerant within the motor at a higher pressure than the oil in cavities 34, 40. The oil is returned to the sump 100 via pipes 107, 109, any liquid refrigerant present therein being vaporized by the heat of the motor 102 or by means of a separate heater. The vaporized refrigerant is returned from the sump 100 to the low pressure side via an orifice 112. A solenoid valve 118 is closed when the motor is energized but opens when the system is shut down so as to prevent oil being forced into the spaces 44. Specification 863,964 is referred to.
