Filed: 1953-09-10
Abstract: 733,127. Electric indicating systems. UNION CARBIDE & CARBON CORPORATION. Sept. 10, 1953 [Sept. 19, 1952], No. 25041/53. Addition to 689,415. Class 40 (1). The system of the parent Specification is modified by using in lieu of the carbon-pile detector, a pick-off transformer energized from an oscillator, and having a core mechanically connected to the scanning auxiliary cutting tooth mounted on the rotary cutting head of the bore mining machine, the transformer secondary being coupled to the oscilloscope. The scanning tooth is also mounted so as to respond to cutting torque rather than vibration as is the case in the parent Specification. The scanning tooth is mounted in front of the main cutting tooth and a two-phase generator driven synchronously with the cutting head is used for the C.R.T. time base. Several scanning teeth and associated C.R.T. indicators may be used respectively with a number of cutting heads. Detector construction, Fig. 6. The scanning tooth 14 is fixed to a lever 10 pivoted at 30 to a support 11 carried by the cutting head (not shown). The arm 20 of the lever 10 is held between a resilient stop 18 and a compression spring 22 adjustable at 32 so that the lever is rocked against the spring action in accordance with the hardness of the strata engaged by the tooth and moves the armature 28 within the transformer 24 correspondingly. Both transformer and core are adjustably mounted for zeroizing purposes. Detector construction, Fig. 7. The tooth 45 is detachably but rigidly secured to a lever 43 pivoted at 53 to the frame 41 secured to the cutter head 61. The armature 59 of the pickoff transformer 55 is adjustably carried by an extension 51 of the lever 43 which is deflected in opposition to an annular rubber shear mount 49. Detector construction, Figs. 1, 3, 4. The scanning tooth 130 is carried by a short arm 127 at the end of a shaft 125 carrying a lever 123 at its opposite end which is deflected in opposition to a spring 109 and actuates the pick-off transformer armature 163 through a rod 165, Fig. 3. Both the spring 109 and a counter-spring 135 are adjustably mounted and so are the rod 165 and the pick-off transformer. The whole is enclosed in a casing secured to the cutter head 161. Detectors may be mounted on both the left and right cutter heads of a bore mining machine. Circuitry, Fig. 5. The right and left cutter head detectors R, L have their transformers energized from an oscillator 190 over a screened cable 196 and slip rings 188. The detector outputs are fed by way of slip rings 188 and cable matching transformers 208, 210 to respective oscilloscope circuits 230, 220, the circular time bases of which are derived from a twophase generator 228 driven synchronously with the cutter heads. The R, L oscilloscopes are calibrated to indicate torque applied to the scanning teeth.

Abstract: 1,149,862. Fuel cells. UNION CARBIDE CORP. 6 June, 1966 [10 June, 1965], No. 25062/66. Heading H1B. A process for supplying gaseous oxygen and gaseous hydrogen to a fuel cell comprises employing separate supplies of liquid oxygen from which gaseous oxygen is vaporized and supplied to the oxygen electrode of the fuel cell and a liquid hydrogen-containing compound which on decomposition produces hydrogen gas, decomposing the hydrogen-containing compound to produce a decomposition product mixture containing hydrogen gas, removing condensable vapours from said decomposition product mixture by means of the refrigeration value of the liquid oxygen to provide a higher purity fraction, supplying hydrogen from the higher purity fraction to the hydrogen electrode of the fuel cell, oxidizing hydrogen and any other oxidizable components in the waste stream from the hydrogen electrode by means of oxygen obtained from the oxygen supply, utilizing the heat produced by this oxidation to supply at least a part of the heat requirements of the decomposition of the hydrogen-containing compound, condensing condensable vapour products from the oxidation step by means of the refrigeration value of the liquid oxygen, and storing at least a portion of the condensed vapours from the decomposition product mixture and the oxidation step and condensed water vapour from the fuel cell in the space vacated by withdrawal of the liquid oxygen and/or liquid hydrogen-containing compound. The hydrogen-containing compound may be ammonia, hydrazine, an alkanol or an aliphatic hydrocarbon. In the drawing, ammonia from a tank 1 is heated in a heat exchanger 3 and is decomposed in a dissociator 4, gases from which are cooled in a heat-exchanger 7, further cooled in a heatexchanger 8 and passed to a separator 9 from which condensed ammonia is separated and returned to the storage tank 1. The gas stream from 9 is further cooled in a passage 10 and passed to a separator 11 from which uncondensed gases (about 90% H 2 ) are fed to the fuel cell whilst condensed nitrogen is fed to a compartment in the oxygen store tank 14 utilizing space vacated by consumed oxygen. Refrigeration for cooling the crude hydrogen stream is supplied by liquid oxygen which is vaporized in passages 15 and 16. The purge stream from the fuel cell (containing 65% H 2 ) is heated in passage 20 and is then oxidized in passage 22 of the ammonia dissociator 4 by means of oxygen fed from the oxygen tank 14 via passages 29, 30 and 31 and in which it is heated. The oxidized purged stream is cooled in passages 23 and 24 and after water is condensed out is further cooled in passage 26. The nitrogen condensed from the oxidized purge stream is fed to compartments in the oxygen supply tank 14. Waste water 25a produced by combustion of purge hydrogen and also the water produced in the fuel cell is stored in the empty compartment of the tank 1, utilizing space vacated by consumed ammonia.

Filed: 1929-08-16
Abstract: 317,455. British Celanese, Ltd., (Assignees of Dreyfus, C.). Aug. 16, 1928, [Convention date]. Cellulose carboxylates.-In the manufacture of fabrics containing organic esters of cellulose, such as the acetate, formate propionate, or butyrate, the cellulose ester material, which is to constitute the warp or weft, is saponified, preferably superficially. For this purpose any suitable alkaline reagent may be employed, such as caustic soda, caustic potash, ammonia, sodium or potassium carbonate or silicate, or trisodium phosphate, in conjunction with buffer salts or other modifying agents, such as sodium acetate, borax, soap, or alcohol, if desired. The saponiflcation may be effected at high temperatures, for example 60‹ to 80‹ C., with aqueous alkaline agents of relatively low concentration, or the saponifying agents may be applied at lower temperatures in relatively high concentrations. The saponifying agents may be applied in the form of a bath, by padding or spraying, or in the form of a paste containing gums, starches, or other thickening agents. In an example, a cellulose acetate warp yarn is saponified by treating in the form of hanks in a bath containing soap and caustic soda; the treated warp is then woven with a weft of untreated cellulose acetate.

Abstract: 1279210 Paper WIGGINS TEAPE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Ltd 21 April 1971 [26 May 1970] 25222/70 Heading D2B Paper is made from a foamed suspension of cellulosic fibres and potentially crimped synthetic fibres by a wet-laying method, and the potential crimp in the synthetic fibres is released while the paper web is supported substantially free from restraint against shrinkage. The foamed suspension may be produced by the method described in U.K. Specification No. 1129757, which utilises surface active agents. The potentially crimped fibre may comprise a sheath-and-core or side-by-side arrangement of chemically similar polymers e.g. polyolefin, polyamide, or polyester which differ in physical properties such as softening point and shrinkage when heated at temperatures below the lower softening point of the two polymers. The necessary support for the paper web can be provided by a smooth metal or polymeric surface, by an air support arrangement, or by tenters which grip the edges of the web and are arranged to allow for shrinkage thereof. Drying of the web, release of the potential crimp, and bonding of the synthetic fibres by application of the required amount(s) of heat may be effected either consecutively or simultaneously. The paper web may be pattern bonded by the application of localised heat and pressure to produce materials of non- planar surface form e.g. embossed materials. Polymeric or other bonding agents may be added at the beater stage, or when the paper is dry. In the latter case, they may be added either before or after release of the potential crimp in the synthetic fibres. The paper may be used for disposable clothing, linen, blankets, interlinings, or as a base material for leather-like materials.
