Title: Process and Apparatus for the Liquefaction, Saccharification and Fermentation of Amylaceous Substances.
Inventor: BOIDIN AUGUSTE
IPC: C12P7/06
Filed: 1913-10-20
Granted: 1915-03-11
Abstract: 23,738. Boidin, A., and Effront, J. Oct. 20. Mashing processes; diastase.-A process for liquefying, saccharifying, and fermenting amylaceous materials consists in steeping the crushed grain at a temperature slightly below the starching - point, liquefying the steeped grain in a slightly alkaline medium at about 80‹ C. by means of liquefying bacilli of the species subtitis or mesentericus, saccharifying the resulting wort in a neutral or slightly acid medium by malt or fungi or other source of diastase, and then fermenting. Instead of malt &c., saccharifying- diastase produced from the liquefying-diastase by the addition of a salt and non-fermented nitrogenized materials reduced to flour, may be used for saccharifying the wort. Bacilli having high liquefying power are produced from common liquefying-bacilli by cultivating the latter repeatedly in highly nitrogenized wort at about 30‹ C., the cultures being made in a thin layer and under the influence of a current of air, which is diminished when the bacilli are fully developed. The diastase thus produced may be preserved by the addition of salt or formol, and the solutions may be precipitated by ammonium sulphate, or evaporated in vacuo. Apparatus for treating the grain comprises a steeping-vessel a for the grain and water, provided with wire-gauze b at the bottom and with a valve c. The water circulates through pipes d, d<1> and a perforated ring t, and is heated by steam admitted to the pipe d' by a valve g. When the steeping is completed, the valves h, k are closed, and the valves c, l opened to allow the grain to pass to a screw conveyer m in a perforated container. The grain passes to a grinder o through a hopper n, and then to a jacketed vessel p containing water at 80-85‹ C. and the liquefying- diastase. The mixture passes to a liquefying- kneader r connected to a pump s. Specification 8447/09 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Submarine Mines.
IPC: F42C14/04
Filed: 1915-03-31
Abstract: 4994. Vickers, Ltd., and North, T. K. March 31. Mines, marine.-Relates to firing-devices of the kind comprising an arm extending from the mine and deflected by a passing ship to fire the mine. According to the invention, a rotary spring clutch is arranged axially between the mine and the arm to prevent accidental deflexion of the arm, but yielding to the blow of a passing ship. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a socket C at the bottom of the mine (not shown) is screwed to a sleeve C' and is prevented from rotating relatively thereto by keys c in grooves in the socket C and sleeve C<1> and by screws c<2>. The lower end of the sleeve C<1> has lugs C<2> forming a bayonet-joint with lugs D<2> on a rotary clutch member D, which is secured by bolts a' to a socket A<1> attached to the anchor cable and carrying the arm A. The other clutch member E is mounted on the sleeve C' and is prevented from rotating by internal ribs e' in engagement with the groove c' in the sleeve C<1>. The clutch member D has V-shaped notches D' in its face, and the member E has corresponding ridges E', which are pressed into the notches D' by a spring e at the back of the member E. The socket A<1> has a slot A<3> normally interlocked with one of the screws c<2> to prevent rotation of the socket, the socket being held thus by soluble plugs a<4>. When the mine is laid, the plugs a<4> are dissolved away and the mine, after shearing a pin between the sockets A<1>, C, rises by its buoyancy until stopped by the heads a<2> of the bolts a<1>, this being sufficient to disconnect the socket A<1> from the screw c<2>. On impact with a ship, the socket A' and the clutch member D are rotated by the arm A, the notches D<1> wedging the other clutch member E back; the bayonet-joint C<2>, D<2> being thus disconnected, the mine rises by its buoyancy, and the rod B is drawn down relatively to the mine, bringing about the firing of the mine in a known way.

Granted: 1915-12-30
Abstract: 10,231. Beattie, A. E. July 14. Electro - magnetic interrupters.-To increase the frequency of interruption of the primary of an induction coil &c., two or more electro - magnetic vibrators A, B, Fig. 1, of the electric bell make-andbreak type, with operating- magnets d, e distinct from the magnet core of the induction coil, are connnected in parallel with one another in the circuit of the primary winding l, and their operating electro-magnets are located in the circuit of, and are energized by, the source of current a which energizes the primary winding. All the windings d, e are normally in closed circuit with the battery a, independently of the vibratory make and-break, by means of the leads p and the normally closed switch-key o, the contacts of which are shortcircuited by a high water - resistance q which suppresses sparking. In a modified arrangement, each interrupter short-circuits each branch current including the magnet coils and the primary of the induction coil prior to breaking the circuit, and the circuit is re-established before the short circuit is interrupted. An interrupter of this form is shown in Fig. 2. The armature h co-operates with the separate trembler blade s, which carries, insulated from it, a metal sleeve r connected to one end of the primary and co-operating with an adjustable contact screw j. The electric connexions are as shown. When the armature of the magnet is attracted, it contacts with the blade s and shortcircuits the magnet and the primary of the induction coil through the leads u, w. The continued movement of the armature breaks the circuit through the magnet at the sleeve r. The armature on its rebound is accompanied by the blade s, so that the short circuit is maintained until the sleeve makes contact with the screw j when the continued recoil of the armature breaks the short circuit. The leads u, w may be dispensed with, and the shortcircuiting effect consequently suppressed.
