Filed: 1966-08-03
Abstract: 1,113,733. Protective systems. STARKSTROM - ANLAGENBAU ERFURT VEB. 3 Aug., 1966, No. 34810/66. Heading H2K. An overload protective arrangement comprises a transistor 6 having its base connected to a potential divider formed by resistors 10, 101 connected across the supply conductors, and its emitter connected through a diode 8 to a reference output terminal Mp. The emitter is also connected through a Zener diode 7 to the coil 1 of a relay. In the event of excess current in the positive conductor or a shortcircuit between that conductor and the terminal Mp, the voltage drop across a resistor 5 in the positive conductor causes the base of the transistor to go negative with respect to the emitter so that the transistor conducts. The coil 1 of the relay is now sufficiently energized for it to open contacts to disconnect the supply and to close contacts to complete a holding circuit for the relay coil and an indicating circuit. Should a short-circuit occur between the negative conductor and the terminal Mp, sufficient current flows through the diodes 7 and 8 to operate the relay.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fuel elements for a nuclear reactor
Inventor: LLOYD HENRY
IPC: G21C3/36
Filed: 1962-09-14
Abstract: 982,343. Nuclear fuel elements. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Sept. 3, 1963 [Sept. 14,1962], No. 35211/62. Heading G6C. A plate type fuel element comprises a plurality of parallel fuel plates 2 spaced apart to form coolant channels 7 and means associated with each fuel plate 2 whereby the coolant may cross-flow from one channel 7 to the next. In one embodiment (Fig. 4), the fuel plates 2 are axially spaced along a number of tubular members 6, the ends of which are supported in holes 8 formed partially through the end walls 3 of the element. The tubular members 6 are provided with apertures 9 which register with the coolant channels 7, the axes of the apertures 9 being at right angles to the direction of coolant flow so as to minimise cross-flow during normal operation. If a blockage occurs in one of the channels 7, adequate cross-flow to prevent overheating of the adjacent fuel plates 2 then occurs through the apertures 9 and tubular members 6. The side walls 10 of the element are thin in relation to the end walls 3 and are provided with dimples 11 whereby the side walls of adjacent elements in a reactor core contact each other to provide mutual support without impairing coolant flow. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 5), the number of tubular members 6 is reduced and adequate cross-flow of coolant ensured by drilling holes 12 through the fuel plates 2, the holes being lined with stainless steel tubes 13 brazed to the stainless steel sheaths of the plates which enclose UO 2 /stainless steel cermet cores, thus ensuring that no part of the cermet core is exposed to the coolant. In a further alternative (Fig. 6), the tubular members 6 are replaced by small diameter solid rods 14 and the number of lined holes 12 increased. To eliminate the necessity of lining the holes 12, each fuel plate 2 can be fabricated from several shorter fuel plates welded together, the holes being drilled through the weld zones; or a compartmental fuel plate comprising small core lengths and widths of fuel separated by narrow stainless steel strips can be used, the holes being drilled through the dividing strips.

A band of adhesive secures a cardboard reinforcement 24 (Fig. 7) within a top compartment formed in a plastics bag by folding a web about the cardboard reinforcement and sealing it at 41. The bags are subsequently sealed and severed along lines 188. A line of weakness may be provided in the seal 41, and after filling and sealing the flap 21 may be cut off. In the apparatus described (Fig. 1) two sets of bags are made simultaneously from separate webs 15 and 15<SP>1</SP>. Each web may be provided with a coloured or opaque portion 198 which covers both sides of the reinforcing strip. The reinforcing strip 24, which may be cardboard, is fed into the longitudinal fold formed in the web 15 by rollers 32, 33. A guide 36 (see Fig. 1a) may be provided to hold the reinforcing strip against the fold in the web. Perforating wheels 40 provide a line of weakness in the bag material adjacent the edge of the reinforcing strip. Adhesive is applied to one or both sides of the strip 24 by nozzles 46, 49 supplied from a tank 52. The adhesive may be applied in a single line of sufficient thickness to spread out over the whole of the reinforcing strip when the surface of the bag is pressed against it. Electrically heated sealers 54 then secure the two bag walls together around the line of perforations 41 and feed rollers 60 flatten the web against the adhesive which has been pro. vided on the reinforcing strip. Alternatively rollers may be provided to flatten the web against the adhesive before it passes the sealers 54. The web then passes to a slack accumulator 58 so that the continuous movement of the web may be changed to an intermittent movement. The web is then moved intermittently by rollers 90 through a device 108 where holes 200 are punched in the reinforcing strip. A heated element 132 seals and severs across the non-reinforced portion of the bag and simultaneously a blade 146 cuts through the reinforced portion. A small portion of the bag in the region 41 may be left unsevered to assist in the delivery of the bag through the machine. After the bags have been fed on to a conveyer 164 they are pulled apart by a device 168.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of cyanine dyes
IPC: C09B23/00
Filed: 1933-12-19
Abstract: In the manufacture of dyes of the cyanine type by the use of an acid-binding agent, the latter consists of an alkali-metal salt of a weak inorganic acid, preferably employed in substantially anhydrous and finely-divided form.  The use of these acid binding agents often results in improved yields and in the majority of cases with less side reactions; they are not usually harmful when used in excess. Alkali-metal salts of carbonic, phosphoric and boric acids are specified as suitable, potassium carbonate being particularly effective when used in finely divided form (passing through not less than a 50 I.M.M. screen).  The acid-binding agents are of use in the preparation of various cyanine dyes such as pseudocyanines, symmetrical and asymmetrical carbocyanines, dicarbocyanines and tricarbocyanines.  In examples, potassium carbonate as acid-binding agent is used in the following condensations: 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with quinaldine ethiodide; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 1-methylbenzthiazole ethiodide; 2-iodo-b -naphthoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 1-methylbenzselenazole ethiodide; 2-iodo-b -naphthaquinoline ethiodide condensed with 1-methyl-a -naphthiothiazole ethiodide; quinoline ethiodide condensed with quinaldine ethiodide; 1 - methylbenzthiazole condensed with diphenylformamidine; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 2.5-dimethylpyrazine methiodide; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 2-methylthiazoline methiodide; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 2.4-dimethylthiazole methiodide; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with a -picoline ethiodide; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 1-methylbenzoxazole ethiodide; 2-iodoquinoline ethiodide condensed with 2.3.3-trimethylindolenine methiodide; 2.5 - dimethylpyrazine ethiodide condensed with 1-o -acetanilidovinylbenzthiazole ethiodide (cf. Specification 344,409); the intermediate from 1-methylbenzthiazole ethiodide and b -anilinoacrolein anil p  hydrochloride (cf. Specification 355,693) condensed with 2-methyl-b -naphthothiazole ethiodide; 1-methylbenzthiazole ethiodide condensed with glutaconic aldehyde dianilide hydrochloride.  Comparative yields using other known acid-binding agents are given in some cases.  In a further example, 1-methylbenzthiazole is condensed with diphenylformamidine in presence of anhydrous tribasic sodium phosphate.  It is stated that alkaline earth salts such as calcium or magnesium carbonate are of no use in these reactions, whilst calcium oxide and hydroxide give only fair results.  Specifications 353,889 and 369,236 also are referred to.
Patent GB-452553-A (GB)
Title: Antimony trioxide
IPC: C09C1/00
Filed: 1935-12-27
Abstract: Pure antimony trioxide is obtained by heating impure antimony trioxide to a temperature at which it volatilizes in the presence of a moving atmosphere which is neutral to moderately oxidizing, i.e. containing not more than 7 per cent free oxygen.  The atmosphere, which is preferably slightly oxidizing, may consist of carbon dioxide, nitrogen or combustion gases containing no solid matter. The charge may be heated by the moving atmosphere, e.g. in a reverberatory or cupel furnace, or it may be independently heated in a muffle, retort or kettle.  The temperature employed may be from below the melting point (654 DEG  C.) up to the boiling point of the oxide (1456 DEG  C.).  The oxide may be separated from the carrying gas by quenching it with a cooler gas, preferably in such a manner that the particle size of the product is from colloidal to 0,5 microns.  Uniform particle size is obtained by the use of an adequate quantity of quenching gas, which moreover should not be too cold, or too fine particles will result.  A suitable quenching gas is air, mixed with hot combustion gases, or indirectly heated, at, for example, 125 DEG  C.  The gas bearing the antimony oxide is preferably delivered at right angles to the throat of a flue through which the quenching gas is passing, so that thorough admixture occurs.
