Title: New 3,5-diketo-1,2,4-triazolidine derivatives
IPC: C07D249/12
Filed: 1959-12-11
Abstract: The invention comprises 3,5 - dioxo - 1,2,4 - triazolidine derivatives of the general formula <FORM:0893269/IV (b)/1> (wherein R represents hydrogen, an acyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, or a group -(CH2)n-R1 where n is an integer from 1 to 3, R1 is -SR2, -OR2 or -N(R2)2 and R2 is hydrogen or alkyl, and Z1 and Z2 represent cycloalkyl or aryl radicals optionally substituted at one or more positions by chlorine or bromine), and the preparation thereof by condensing a substituted semicarbazide of the general formula <FORM:0893269/IV (b)/2> with phosgene or an alkyl carbonate, or, when R is other than hydrogen, by reacting a metal derivative of a compound in which R is hydrogen with an acid anhydride or with a halide RX (wherein X represents chlorine, bromine or iodine).  The products are useful as analgesics and antiphlogistics.  Substituted semicarbazides of the second general formula above are prepared by boiling hydrazobenzene-N-carboxylic acid chloride or a corresponding dicycloalkyl - hydrazine - N - carboxylic acid chloride with 2 molecular proportions of an amino compound RNH2. Hydrazobenzene-N-carboxylic acid chloride is prepared by reacting hydrazobenzene with phosgene in the presence of pyridine. Symmetrical dicyclohexylhydrazine - N - carboxylic acid chloride is similarly prepared from symmetrical dicyclohexylhydrazine hydrochloride.

Abstract: 1,192,799. Heat-treating steel wire or rod. UNITED STATES STEEL CORP. Sept. 21, 1967 [Sept. 27, 1966], No.42975/67. Headings C7A and C7N. Steel wire or rod is subjected to a continuous patenting heat treatment by heating the work in a furnace e.g. containing tubes through which the wire travels to above the steel's upper critical temperature, e.g. to 1600 F. in an atmosphere of cracked ammonia to prevent decarburization, then passing it from the furnace without air cooling into a first cascade chamber to quench the work by a liquid medium to below the Ar temperature zone e.g. 400-700F. to suppress the formation of pro-eutectoid carbides and ferrite, then into a second cascade chamber to reheat the work by a liquid medium to 750-1050F. to obtain isothermal transformation to upper bainite and fine pearlite structures. The cascade chambers preferably comprise vigorously agitated quenchant, e.g. NaNO 3 -NaNO 2  eutectic or Pb-Bi alloy, which is pumped from a reservoir up into a tray disposed above where it overflows back into the reservoir. The work may be passed from the second cascade chamber into a holding furnace maintained at the same temperature to complete transformation. The heat treatment may be repeated with intermediate cooling to room temperature and drawing. The wire may be given a copper coating prior to drawing to final gauge. The wire may be of highereutectoid steel containing 0À9-1% of C, max. 0À005% each of P and S, max. 0À1% Si and max. 0À002%N.

Title: Storage system
Inventor: BURG STANLEY PAUL
IPC: A23L3/3409
Filed: 1968-09-10
Abstract: 1,208,354. Storing vegetable matter. UNITED FRUIT CO. 10 Sept., 1968, No. 43087/68. Heading A2D. A controlled atmosphere storage system for living plant material, such as fruit and vegetables, which comprises a storage chamber 12 having a reduced-oxygen-content air supply, is characterized by injection of electrolytically generated hydrogen as it is generated directly into air flowing towards the chamber 12, means for igniting the hydrogen immediately after injection to consume the hydrogen and reduce the oxygen content of the air, means for cooling the oxygen depleted air before it is passed to the chamber 12, and a gas detector 34 downstream from the igniting means for controlling the relative amounts of injected hydrogen and entering air supplied. Air is propelled by a pump 17, through a conduit 18 into which hydrogen from an electrolytic generator 20 is injected, and the mixed gases passed over an electrically heated filament 23 of a burner 22. The resulting hot oxygendepleted air is then cooled by an air cooled condenser 24 and passed over a thermal conductivity cell type of hydrogen detector 26 and an oxygen detector 34 before being continuously fed into the tank 12 to replace that exhausted through an outlet 14. The cooling of the hot gases results inter alia in the condensation of excess moisture, formed by the burning of the hydrogen, to give a cooled oxygen-depleted atmosphere saturated with water vapour. Failure of the electric current supply to the burner 22, or detection of free hydrogen by the detector 26, are both arranged, via relays, to open a switch 28 to shut down the hydrogen generator. The relative amounts of air and hydrogen fed into the conduit 18 are controlled in response to the detected oxygen content of the oxygen-depleted air by controlling either the hydrogen or the air supplies by means of automatic voltage regulators 32, 32<SP>1</SP> respectively in their power circuits 30, 31. When mounted on a vehicle, the storage system is powered by batteries. The storage of green bananas in an atmosphere with a 5-7% oxygen content and saturated with water at 24‹C. is exemplified.

Title: Blood loss meter
Inventor: BERG JANWILLEM VAN DEN
IPC: A61B5/145
Filed: 1960-12-15
Abstract: 923,830. Blood loss measurement. GODARTMIJNHARDT N.V. Dec. 15, 1960, No. 43169/60. Class 81 (2). [Also in Group XXXVI] The amount of blood lost during a surgical operation is determined by agitating the dressings in which the blood is absorbed in a washing liquid, and measuring the charge of conductivity by a bridge having, in the arm opposite that in which the measuring electrodes are connected, two series resistors in parallel with one of which is a variable resistor controlled by a servomotor fed via an amplifier from a pair of opposite junctions of the bridge arms, and coupled to a scale bearing a linear calibration in volume parts of blood. The linearity is obtained by arranging the ratio R 5 : R 6  equal to g2-g1 gl, where g1 is the conductivity of the washing liquid, and g2 the conductivity of the patients' blood, and the zero of the scale is adjusted by the use of a sample of the blood/washing liquid mixture of known composition, and the simultaneous adjustment of resistors R 3  and R 6 , by tandem switch I. The assembly R21, R22, R23 and C is preferably arranged to have the same temperature coefficient on the washing liquid, and to be enclosed in the measuring cell (not shown) with electrodes E1 and E2.

Abstract: 1397352 Photo-electric measurement of density VDO ADOLF SCHINDLING AG 20 Sept 1973 [26 Sept 1972] 44176/72 Heading G1A The density of acid in a motor-car storage battery is measured by the variation in the angle of total internal reflection in a clear plastics rod with variation in density of the surrounding acid. The light beam is arranged to diverge in the region of the reflecting surface by an angle at least equal to the difference between the total-reflection-angles at maximum and minimum density. The axis of the divergent beam is directed to the surface at the angle of total-internal-reflection corresponding to mean acid density. As shown, the device is formed as a battery screw-plug with a galluim arsenide diode light-source 8 providing a beam diverging by about 1¢ degrees and directed at an angle of 23 degrees to the measuring surface 14. The reflected rays are directed by mirror 16 on to a photoelectric sensor 13. In Fig.1 the divergence is controlled by a diaphragm-aperture 11 mounted on a slotted sleeve 9 (three slits 10) resiliently held in a bore 6. In Fig.2 the divergence is controlled by a condenser lens 22 intergrally molded in the plug, and the mirror surface 23 has a parabolic curve to concentrate the light on the cell 13. Other minor details are substantially as described in Specification 1397170 using the refraction of light transmitted through the liquid. (For Figures see next page)
