Title: Improved navigational instrument
IPC: G01C17/00
Filed: 1941-08-06
Abstract: 551,165. Navigational instruments. PRINS, H. C. Aug. 6, 1941, No. 10011. [Class 97 (ii)] A navigational instrument for use in setting a ship to steer a true course comprises a movable graduated scaleadapted to indicate directly a true course to be steered and a second movable graduated scale adapted to be set to indicate directly the amount of alteration from the previous true course being steered which is required to arrive at the new true course to be steered. In the form shown, two internally-graduated rings 1, 2 are rotatably mounted in a gimbalsupported, non-rotatable ring 5 within a casing 7. The ring 1 (the true-course-finder ring) is graduated in quadrantal and three-figure notations. The ring 2 (the course alteration indicator ring) and the ring 5 are both graduated from 0 degree to 180 degrees in opposite directions from a forward zero. The various graduations are illuminated by a masked lamp 20. The rings 1, 2 may be locked together in any desired relative position by a pin 8, and may be rotated by means of a hand-wheel 12 and toothed wheel 9. The upper ring 1 may be locked against rotation by a pin 13. A lubber line L is marked on a bowl 16 attached to the non-rotatable ring 5. A glass cover 17 carried by the ring is fitted with a central socket 19 for locating an azimuth mirror or other bearing-taking device for use in conjunction with the graduations in the true-course-finder ring 1. Assuming the ship to be sailing on a true course as indicated by the ring 1 against the lubber's line L the zero of the ring 2 registering with the lubber's line, and it is desired to change to a new true course, a bearing is taken on a distant land mark, star &c. by an azimuth mirror guided in the socket 19 the bearing being observed on the graduations of the true-coursefinder ring 1. The rings 1, 2 are now simultaneously rotated by the hand-wheel 12 until the new course is registered by the ring 1 against the lubber's line, the course-alteration ring 2 then showing the difference (to port or starboard) of the old and new true courses. The head of the ship is now turned until the land mark again registers with the previously-ascertained bearing whereupon the helmsman is directed to hold the new course. He then observes his compass and steers by the new compass course, calculations to correct for the deviation error of the compass being thus avoided. The fixed ring 5 may be used in conjunction with the bearing-taking device to ascertain the angle between a distant object and,the fore-and-aft line of the ship.

Title: A method and means for treating dispersions and solutions of animal and vegetable origin
IPC: A23L5/30
Filed: 1940-06-12
Abstract: 543,706. Treating animal or vegetable solutions and dispersions with radiations. REID, C. June 12, 1940, No. 10215. [Class 1 (i)] [Also in Group VI] Animal and vegetable solutions and dispersions such as milk, fruit juices, wines, vegetable oils, and beverages are improved as to their keeping qualities or flavour by subjecting them to an intermittent electrical potential not exceeding 5 volts so as to produce very small currents measured by micro-amps without substantial increase in temperature, the action being to increase the negative energy on the suspended particles between a lower limit at which aggregation of the particles would begin and an upper limit at which self decomposition or electrolysis would begin. For this purpose, the liquids are passed through a tube 1, Fig. 1, insulated from the pipe line in which it is situated, and over an electrode element 6 connected to. but separated from, the liquid by a shield 8 of metal such as stainless steel which cannot be ionized by the weak currents used. The element 6 is connected by a lead 7 to one terminal of a source of alternating current of 50 cycles per second, of from 100 700 micro-amps strength and from ¢ to 2 volts. The shield 8 has an external surface of from 50-100 square inches, and, in the case of treating milk, a rate of flow of 1 gallon per minute will give an adequate treatment for freshening the milk and preventing coagulation. In the case of cream, a higher current density would be maintained. The tube 1 may be connected to the other terminal of the alternating current supply, or it may be earthed. In another method of treatment, the liquid is passed. through a chamber 10, Fig. 2, made of insulating material and having two sets of plates 11, 12, the former being connected to one side of a source of alternating electric potential while the latter are connected to earth. Specifications 417,501 and 450,594, [Group XXXVI], are referred to.

Title: A process for decomposing beryllium minerals
IPC: C01F3/00
Filed: 1935-04-02
Abstract: Beryllium minerals such as beryl are decomposed by heating the preferably finely powdered mineral with caustic alkalies in the initial presence of say 5--25 per cent of water to temperatures not exceeding 500 DEG  C., say to 400 DEG  C.  About 16 mols of caustic soda per mol of beryl may be employed, and the alkali may be replaced by substances yielding it under the conditions of operation, for instance by trialkali phosphate.  In a modification, the decomposition may be carried out in an autoclave, preferably with stirring, at 150--200 DEG  C.  After extraction of the decomposition product with water or aqueous alkali, the residue may be worked up by treatment with concentrated sulphuric acid.  Silica may be removed by evaporation, the aluminium in the filtrate be precipitated as alum, and beryllium be precipitated as hydroxide by ammonia. Alternatively the aluminium, iron, and beryllium may all be precipitated as hydroxides, and the beryllium be recovered from the mixed precipitate by treatment with ammonium carbonate.

Title: Improvements in internal combustion engines
IPC: F02B75/24
Filed: 1949-04-22
Abstract: 667,026. Crank-chambers, cooling; pumps; injection nozzles and fuel pumps. CHAMBERLAIN, A. G. July 21, 1950 [April 22, 1949], No. 10755/49. Classes 7(ii) and 7(iii) In an internal-combustion engine comprising a pair of oppositely disposed cylinders 7, Fig. 2, adapted to reciprocate as a unit between a pair of fixed pistons 5 over which the respective cylinders are adapted to slide during a part of the reciprocatory movement and which are spaced apart to such an extent that when one cylinder slides over its piston to produce a compression stroke the other cylinder will be free of its piston and open to atmosphere to permit ingress of air, there is provided means, such as a fuel pump 22, Fig. 1, for injecting liquid fuel into the combustion space between a piston 5 and its corresponding cylinder 7 when the latter encloses substantially all the piston. The crank shaft 1, Fig. 2, is supported in a casing 3, the latter also having secured thereto the pair of stationary but diametrically opposed pistons 5 with which the pair of reciprocating cylinders 7 cooperate, the latter being connected by two check plates 8 which run on rollers 10. One crank web 14 has a crank pin 15 which passes through a vertical slot in the adjacent check plate and engages a flywheel 18 in an extension 19 of the crank shaft 1, whilst the other crank pin does not extend beyond its associated check plate; the flywheel is enclosed in a casing 21 secured to the end of the casing 3. In each piston is arranged the fuel pump 22, Fig. 1, the plunger of which is actuated from a cam 29 on the crank shaft 1, the outlet of each pump opening through the face of the piston into the combustion space; the output of each pump may be adjusted by a cable 30. The end of the crank-shaft opposite to the flywheel is extended to drive a blower 36 so that, during operation of the engine, air from the blower is conducted by conduits 39, to a point in relation to the reciprocating parts, such that at outer dead-centre position the air enters the space which is open to atmosphere, the space being comprised between the inner end of the cylinder and the head of the associated piston, and extracts the exhaust gases driving them into a conduit 40 lying opposite the conduit 39; since the cylinders are interconnected one is at the outer position whilst the other is in the inner position. As the cylinders move inwardly the space between the inner 'end of the cylinder and the head of the associated piston disappears and the air from con-. duits 39 serves to cool the cylinders; the mouths of conduits 39 and 40 are spaced from the cylinder by a slight clearance. Since the cylinders of the engine are open to atmosphere at the end of each power stroke the usual valve gear is unnecessary. An electrical ignition system may be proyided and the engine may operate without a blower. Both cylinders may open momentarily to atmosphere when the cylinder unit is in the mid-position.
