Abstract: 1,075,620. Processing spent nuclear fuel. REACTOR CENTRUM NEDERLAND. Dec. 29, 1964 [Jan. 24, 1964], No. 52711/64. Heading G6R. [Also in Divisions B1 and B2] A device for separating fine particles. of fissile material and fine carbon particles from a circuit 13. comprising a nuclear reactor 14, a pump 15 and a heat exchanger 16. and in which the above particles as well as. coarse particles of fissile material circulate in suspension in. a liquid comprises a vessel 1 which is connected to the circuit 13 via conduits. 17, 18 and an. inverted cyclone separator 2 connected at its apex to the vessel 1 and at its. upper larger discharge end to an auxiliary circuit 3 which incorporates a pump. A conduit 8 taps. off from the circuit 3 liquid containing the fine particles of fissile material and the fine carbon particles, the latter being laden with waste products, and discharges them via a valve through a conduit 9. Settling in the vessel 1 is prevented by returning the liquid tapped off the circuit 3 via a conduit 10 to the vessel or by periodically opening or shutting a valve 7 causing a pulsating current of liquid to be set up in the circuit 3 which in turn causes an agitating action to be exerted via the cyclone 2 in the vessel 1. In another embodiment, Fig. 4 (not shown), the circuit (13) incorporates a centrifugal pump (15), Fig. 5 (not shown). In this case the circuit (13) contains a simple suspension of fissile material and it is possible to withdraw clean liquid through the conduit (9) and circulate it through a communicating chamber (28) to the pump proper so as to prevent fissile particles suspended in the liquid in the pump chamber (25) from penetrating the motor (23, 24) driving the pump.

Abstract: 1342249 Fluid pressure operated slides T SAITO 10 May 1971 [27 Aug 1970] 53357/70 Heading B3B [Also in Division F1] A fluid pressure actuator, used, e.g. in a numerically controlled machine tool, comprises a cylinder 21, a hollow piston 22 having a hollow piston-rod extension 43, a slide member 36 slidable axially within the piston-rod, a pulse motor 40 operative to drive the slide member 36 through gears 39, 41 and a screw 38 in either direction, inlet port means, e.g. 24, 26, 29, 31, for feeding fluid into the cylinder on a selected side of the piston to cause displacement of the piston in one direction, and outlet port means, e.g. 23, 25, 28, 30, for permitting discharge of fluid from the cylinder on the other side of the piston, the ports being movable with the piston 22 and being opened and closed in response to relative movement between the piston and said slide member. In operation of the Fig. 1 embodiment pressure fluid, e.g. air or hydraulic fluid, is supplied through duct 33 and is discharged through duct 34 which is concentric with duct 33 in the slide member 36. Motor 40 rotates the screw 38 to open one of the port means and move the piston. After a programmed distance the motor is stopped and movement of the piston continues until the port means are blocked off by relative movement between the slide member 36 and the piston-rod 43. In a second embodiment pressure fluid only is supplied through the port means, the discharge fluid passing through solenoid operated valves connected to each end of the cylinder. In a third embodiment this situation is reversed with pressure fluid being supplied through the valves and discharge through the port means.

[Also in Division C3] Phosphorus-containing sucrose polyols are obtained by reacting an oxy-acid of phosphorus with sucrose in the presence of a diluent at a temperature between 0 and 50 C. and thereafter contacting the sucrose-acid reaction mixture at a temperature between 20 and 100 C. with an alkylene oxide in such an amount that the resulting phosphorus-containing sucrose polyol is substantially neutral. Specified phosphorus acids are phosphoric acids (85%, 100%, 105% and 115%), phosphorous acid, phosphonic acids, phosphonous acid, phosphinic acids, phosphinous acid, and partial esters of phosphoric, phosphorous, phosphonic and phosphonous acids, and specified diluents, which diluents may also be present during the second step of the process, are water, organic esters, ketones, ethers, aliphatic nitriles, polyhalogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, alkyl phosphates and phosphonates, dialkyl sulphoxides and aromatic hydrocarbons. The alkylene oxide used may be substituted, e.g. by halogen or alkoxy or aromatic radicals and in examples, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and epichlorhydrin are used.

Title: Method of cutting metallic bars by means of two blades moving in opposite directions and two bladed saw to carry out such a method

Abstract: 1444740 Reciprocating saws E BROCCARDO G GRASSELLI E RIZZATO A GRASSELI and A SERMAN 29 Nov 1973 [13 Dec 1972] 55329/73 Heading B5L A metal bar 21, Fig. 1, is cut by means of two cutting blades 1, 2 advanced from opposite directions, the arrangement being such that when one of the blades is performing a working stroke the other is performing a return idle stroke out of contact with the bar. As described the blades 1, 2 are mounted in frames 3, 4 which are reciprocated along guides 5, 6 by connecting rods 13, 14 pivoted to flywheels 15, 16 driven by an electric motor. The bar is held fixed relative to a plate 20 by vice jaws 22, 23 and the guides 5, 6 are mounted on the plate 20 for movement towards or away from each other under the control of hydraulic cylinders 8, 11 and guides 7, 9, 10, 12. In the hydraulic control circuit of the machine Fig. 4, the cylinders 8, 11 are connected via conduits 31, 32 to a solenoid controlled distributor valve 35 connected to an oil pump 33 and a discharge pipe 34. The cylinders 8, 11 are connected at their other ends via conduits 38, 39 to the smaller ends of differential cylinders 40, 41 and from there to cylinders 44, 45 the pistons of which are linked to an eccentric flywheel 46 driven synchronously with the flywheels 15, 16. The larger ends of the cylinders 40, 41 are connected via conduits 42, 43 and one-way valves 51, 52 to the valve 35, and via conduits 47, 48 and regulator valves 49, 50 to the oil reservoir. In operation the valve 35 is first moved to the right so that oil is pumped under pressure via conduits 42, 43 to the larger ends of cylinders 40, 41, the pistons in these cylinders are thus moved apart causing the pistons in cylinders 8, 11 and thus the saw blades to be moved apart. At aselected separation amicroswitch is operated to reverse the valve 35 and start the drive motor for flywheels 15, 16 and 46. Oil is pumped to the outer ends of cylinders 8, 11 to urge the saw blades together and the rate of advance is determined by the rate at which oil escapes through the valves 49, 50. The action of the pistons in cylinders 44, 45 causes variations in pressure in the inner ends of cylinders 8, 11 so that the sawblades are urged againstaworkpiece on their working strokes and lifted therefrom on their idle strokes. When the saw blades have cut the workpiece a microswitch causes return of the valve 35 to the inactive position shown.
