Title: Improved Manufacture of Calcium Perborate.
IPC: C01B15/12
Filed: 1911-01-21
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 1626. Chemische Werke vorm. Dr. Keinrich Byk. Jan. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Calciumperborate is obtained by the known reaction of sodium perborate on a calcium salt such as calcium chloride, the invention consisting in restraining the hydrolysis of the product by 'diminishing the amount of water present during its formation. Examples are given in which sodium perborate crystals are added to a calcium salt, such as crystallized calcium chloride, dissolved in a little water, calcium peiborate being precipitated; the water may even be reduced to the water of crystallization only; and instead of alkali perborate, materials that will produce alkali perborate may he used, such as hydrogen peroxide and alkali borate, or alkali peroxide, boric acid, and mineral acid. When the reaction is over, if there is enough water present to dissolve all the alkali chloride, the calcium perborate is filtered and dried at once; if not, enough water is first added to dissolve the alkali chloride. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the hydrolysis may be restrained by adding salts or other substances such as alcohol or glycerine. This subject-matter does not occur in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Intercommunication Telephone Systems with Secrecy.
Inventor: ROOSE HENRY EDWARD ROBSON
IPC: H04M1/70
Filed: 1911-06-07
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 13,601. Roose, H. E. R., and Finlay, W. T. June 7. I n t e r c o mmunication systems of the kind in which the instruments at two communicating stations are placed in parallel across a feeding circuit which includes the two bell coils, are provided with apparatus for preventing overhearing by a third subscriber. The operation of the ringing-key is necessary at any station to complete the speaking circuits, and a contact-plate operated by the ringing - key cooperates with a wheel mounted with the selector switch to prevent the movement of this switch after the ringing-key has been depressed. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus at any station, and Fig. 2 shows a system wherein station No. 2 has rung up and is talking to No. 3, and No. 4 is calling No. 1. The removal of the hand-combination set from its hook completes contact between the lever c and the contact-spring a, and the switch-arm s having been set to the line of the station desired, the push r is depressed to complete the ringing-circuit from the R pole of the battery over the contacts d, b and the arm s to the home line of the station called and then through the bell l back to the battery. When the ringing-key is released, the contact between the springs d and b is broken, but the interaction of the pin n and the slot e retains the contact between the plate p and the spring b and causes the plate to lock the wheel w. If any station wishes to overhear, it is necessary to remove the instrument h and set the arm s to the line ; then on depressing the key r to put the instrument into circuit through the spring b, the bell of the station selected is rung, thus giving warning of the interference. It is stated that the apparatus can also be used in a twin-wire system. Specification 9951/03 is referred to.
