Patent GB-377646-A (GB)
Title: Process and apparatus for the synthetic production of light oils by chemical, physical and mechanical transformation of heavy mineral oils and gaseous hydrocarbons
Filed: 1931-01-19
Abstract: <PICT:0377646/III/1> Heavy oils are converted into light oils by bubbling therethrough gaseous unsaturated hydrocarbons preferably of the ethylene or acetylene series mixed with saturated hydrocarbons, e.g. ethane or oil gas, natural gas, water gas, &c.  The gases are passed from a source A down a pipe C into heavy oils contained in a tank D heated by steam coils.  The pressure of the gases causes the oil to rise into a combining coil 1 in which vapours are evolved and pass through a purifier L containing porous diaphragms of silica &c. heated by superheated steam circulated through a jacket.  The vapours pass upward through a purifier M containing layers of charcoal and iron chips and then flow through a jet 10 on to a baffle where they meet a stream of gases introduced through a nozzle 17.  The vapours flow upwards through an expansion vessel 12 and are treated with a further stream of gases introduced through a nozzle 18 and finally pass through a stream of oil from a nozzle 28 flowing over trays 27 supplied with catalysts.  The vapours finally pass out through coils 35 and a condenser 34, condensate being returned to the drum D through tubes 39, 16.  The oil and gas streams introduced through the nozzles 17, 18 and 28 are obtained by withdrawing oil from the drum D by a pump O, passing it through a heater P heated by coils containing superheated steam and then through pipes 51, 52, 54 the oil in the pipes 51, 52 being atomized through jets 19, 20 by gases passed through a pipe C and headers 65, 66.

Filed: 1929-01-19
Abstract: 326,603. Harries, J. H. O. Jan. 19, 1929. Television.-A selected portion of the field of view is more finely scanned than the remainder, so as to produce an economy in the frequency -band -width of the transmitted signals, and the arrangement is such that two or more separate images are scanned so that the fine-scanning apertures need not be greatly reduced. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 an optical system 2 having a wide field of view projects an image 4 of the background of the film or object 5 on to a scanning apparatus 7, while a second optical system 1 having a narrow field of view projects an image 3 of a selected portion of the object that part of the first image which coincides with the second image being masked out by an opaque screen 17. Signals corresponding to the two parts of the picture are transmitted over channels 8, 9 to the receiver, whence the composite picture is projected on to the screen 16, which may be in two parts lying in parallel planes to accommodate the differing projective properties of the optical systems 14, 15. The scanning apparatus for the two channels are preferably coupled together at 18, 19. The area 23 of the object which is finely scanned may be moved about at the transmitter, and corresponding movements may be made at the receiver by hand or by means of a remote-control system. The two images may be used as the components of a stereoscopic object or of a coloured picture. In a modification, Fig. 2, the wide and narrow images may be projected on to the scanning apparatus 21 by reflectors 20, 21 respectively; the light forming the narrow image passes through the aperture 22. The relative positions of the wide and narrow images are adjusted by movement of the reflectors 20, 21 in the direction of the arrows.
