Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 22,288. Sokal, S., [Kalle & Co.]. Oct. 3. Toxines, antitoxines, and like bacterial products.-Bacteria are subjected to prolonged treatment with dilute acids, such as lactic acid, with addition of common salt, and, if desired, lecithin. The liquid and solid products of the treatment are separated by filtering or centrifuging, and used as immunizing-agents; in the case of paratyphoid bacilli, the solid residue is used, while in the case of diphtheria bacilli, the nitrate is used. The bacilli of typhus, cholera, anthrax, pasteurellosis, tetanus, plague, dysentery, erysipelas, &c. may be treated by the process. The solid residue may be extracted first with alcohol and then with ether; the alcohol extract on evaporation gives a mixture of fatty acids and lipoids; the ether extract on evaporation gives a mixture of fat and wax; the insoluble residue, after the extractions, is of an albuminous nature. These three fractions may be used separately as partial antigens. The extraction process with alcohol and ether may be applied to residues obtained from treatment of bacteria with dilute acid alone or mixed with lecithin.

Granted: 1914-06-18
Abstract: 13,756. Shore, B., and Clark, C. T. June 18. Projectile fuses. - Relates to fuse - setting machines of the kind mounted on a supporting- ring which is adapted to be locked in the zero position on the fuse, and consists in mounting on the supporting-ring an adjustable index member, and a rotary setting-member adapted to co-operate with the index, and carrying- means for setting the timing-ring, this means being so constructed that, no matter where the pin on the timing-ring happens to rest initially with respect to the fuse scale, the ring may be correctly set by rotating the setting-member first in the clockwise sense, and then in the counterclockwise sense, as far as possible. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the fuse-setter comprises a circular base a, Fig. 1, graduated round its periphery, and a rotary head d engaging an annular recess b in the base a. In a peripheral groove f of the base slides a carrier g, with which moves an index-plate k. This index may be clamped by a nut m opposite any desired graduation of the scale. When the index has been thus set, the fuse-setter is placed on the fuse and rotated until a stud n on the base a enters a recess on the fuse and locks the two together. On rotating the head d in a counterclockwise sense in the base, a stop p in an annular channel o in the interior of the head d engages the usual pin on the time-ring of the fuse, and rotates the ring until a projection q on the head d abuts against a stop r on the plate k. The fuse is then set. If the pin on the time-ring happens initially to rest at a graduation of the fuse scale higher than that to which it is to be set, a clockwise rotation of the head d precedes the counter-clockwise rotation, so that the pin on the time-ring may be displaced by the reverse side of the stop p until it lies opposite a graduation lower than that to which it is to be set. An auxiliary index slide may be mounted on the main slide k for fine adjustment. A box spanner may be rotatably mounted on the head d in order to manipulate the lock-nuts of fuses provided with such.

Abstract: 18,887. Creedy, F. Aug. 20. Phase, changing.-To obtain a large number of phases from a two- or three-phase supply, auxiliary secondary windings, such as V, W and X, Y, Fig. 9, of a mesh-connected transformer P, Q, R on each side of the mesh are connected to tappings, such as w, y on another side so as to obtain electromotive forces of the phase desired. A phase-compounding diagram for calculating the required transformer connexions is shown in Fig. 9<a>. A circle S trisecting the sides of the equilateral triangle P, Q, R is divided into as many parts as there are to be phases. From each division a line is drawn parallel to one side of the triangle to intersect another side. The secondary winding X, Y, Fig. 9, is then given a number of turns proportional to the length x, y and is joined to the primary winding Q, R at y; the other phases are built up in a similar manner. A similar method in which a circle intercepts the sides of a square is used for producing a large number of phases from a two-phase supply.
