Filed: 1972-07-31
Abstract: 1379468 Three component fancy yarns FILATURE DE SAINT ANDRE 31 July 1972 [31 Aug 1971] 35652/72 Headings D1F and D1W A method of producing a fancy yarn 6 comprises feeding into the inlet of a hollow rotary spindle 1 at least three textile components, i.e. a foundation component 2, a covering component 3 and a binding component 4 which is delivered from a bobbin 11 carried by and rotating with the spindle 1. The fancy yarn 6 being pulled by a pair of take-up rollers 7, 8 and the covering component 3 being delivered at a linear speed which is higher than the speed of take-up of the foundation component 2 as this component 2 is pulled by the fancy yarn 6 which is passed through the spindle 1. A plurality of foundation components and/or a plurality of covering components may be used. Suitable examples of foundation and/or covering components are threads, drafted ribbons, slubbing from a spinning card, any combing- tion of such components or a fancy yarn as produced by the process above. The feed speed of the foundation component and/or the covering component may be varied during the process to produce a loop or knop yarn. During the. operation, the foundation component becomes false twisted upstream of the spindle, the covering component gets twisted around the foundation component and the binding component holds the assembly by being wound helically thereabout. The twist is removed during passage through the spindle and the covering component loosens about the foundation component, the amount of bulk produced depending on the difference in feed speeds between the foundation component and the covering component.

Title: Improvements relating to vaccines
Inventor: SMITH HERBERT WILLIAMS
IPC: A61K39/02
Filed: 1963-09-10
Abstract: Vaccines for protecting pigs against paratyphoid (Salmonella choleraesuis) infection comprise the strain of Salmonella choleraesuis having the A.T.C.C. number 15478 or 15479, with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent.  The composition is preferably an injectable unit dose, containing 108 to 109 viable bacteria, suitably being in 1 ml. of sterile distilled water.  An oral composition is also mentioned.  The strain A.T.C.C. 15478 is prepared by subculturing a culture of fully virulent microorganisms, from the organs of a pig which has died from paratyphoid, in eleven successive broth cultures, followed by plating out on nutrient agar, visually selecting a rough colony, and so plating out and selecting a further five times, the final culture being the deposited organisms.  Strain 15479 is prepared by treating a plate culture of virulent bacteria, from a broth culture obtained from a paratyphoid-infected pig, to treatment with Salmonella anti-o phage No. 1, at 37 DEG  C. for 24 hours, when complete lysis occurs, except for a few colonies.  One of these rough colonies is plated out five times as before to give a final culture of stable organisms of the deposited strain.  The bacteria may be freeze dried in ten volumes of Mist. dessicans for storage, and the lyophilisate suspended in sterile distilled water as required to give an injectable vaccine.  Alternatively, a 24-hour culture in nutrient broth may provide a vaccine directly. The invention also relates to the freeze dried cultures per se, and to a process for combatting paratyphoid in pigs.

Abstract: 1462052 Electric selective signalling PLESSEY CO Ltd 26 June 1974 [27 July 1973] 35899/73 Heading G4H An information communication system, e.g. for use in a car, ship or aeroplane for the passing of information to control accessories each of which comprises an actuator device WSS, &c. and a responder device WSWM, &c., comprises a plurality of pairs PWA, PWR &c. of peripheral stations interconnected by a common path CLP controlled by a timing unit MTU arranged to generate polling cycles comprising a plurality of frames of timing pulses; each pair of accessory actuator and responder devices is served by a pair of peripheral stations, each of which pairs is allocated a unique address defining a particular frame in each cycle. As described there are 128 frames in each cycle, each frame containing ten 5 Ásec slots bounded by 1 Ásec timing pulses, the first and last slots being start and stop slots SS, ES (Fig. 2, not shown). The other eight slots are divided into groups of four, slots 1-4 for command and data signals and slots 5-8 for speech signals (units SCPSA, SCPSB). The accessories shown in Fig. 1 are: headlights (HL), direction indicators (RF, LF), screen wiper (WS), oil pressure (OP), speedometer (S), tachometer (T), coolant (TG) and fuel level (FG). HL, RF and LF, and WS are switch operated and insert a 1 or 0 in one of slots 1-4 of their allocated frame; FL and T are sampled voltages; S is a variable frequency generator for which four frames (and hence four addresses) are allocated; and OP is an oscillator with variable M/S ratio. In addition there are headlamp and direction indicator "tell-back" peripheral stations having the same address as their corresponding station pairs: the responder station in each pair transmits a status signal bit to its tell-back station in slot 3 or 4 of the corresponding frame to light lamps RTFLHLFTL. Speech is handled by passing direct voltage samples over path CLP; sampling occurs during each frame and each direction of speech transmission is considered as a separate function. Two of slots 5-8 are used for each "communication call."  Each station pair (e.g. PWA, PWR) is connected to its accessory pair (WSS, WSWM) by means of interface circuits (WST, WMD) which may include sample and hold circuits for transmitted analog values. Each station contains a frame counter which enables buffers BTB &c. (Fig. 3, not shown) during the frame allocated thereto. A clock extraction circuit (CEM) causes input and output of data in the buffers during the correct time slots for the frame. Instead of an electrical closed loop CLP, transmission may be by radio or optical fibres.

Abstract: 416,917. Valves. CHERIDJIAN, D. D., 129, Calle Gerona, Barcelona, Spain. Dec. 22, 1932, No. 36330. Void [Abridged as open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, July 6, 1933]. [Class 135.] Valves which are stated to be fully balanced statically and dynamically whatever be the nature or velocity of the controlled fluid have in their valve members ducts of ample crosssection to avoid pressure losses and arranged so that for each action set up by the fluid there is a compensating action of equal intensity and opposite direction. Fig. 1 shows a core representing the balancing passages or ducts in a lift wedge closure member. The passage 1 leading from the inlet branches into two symmetrical passages 2, 3 communicating with an annular compensating passage 16. Similarly, the passage 4 is connected to the compensating passage 17 by the passages 5, 6. The passages 2 3 respectively divide into further curved passages 12, 13 and 14, 15. The system of passages is completely symmetrical and the two sets do not cross each other. The centripetal forces due to the motion of the fluid in the passages 12, 13 and 14, 15 are stated to eliminate one another respectively so that the valve is balanced for dynamic as well as static pressures. The valve member shown in Fig. 5 has only one set of balancing passages 2,3, which communicate with a compensating passage 16 of horse-shoe shape. The spaces 19 above and below the valve member connect with the outlet side by means of holes 18. The valve member is raised by a hand-wheel 37 acting on a screwed spindle which has a slot 43 engaged by a key to prevent its rotation relative to the parts 44, 46. The valve is then turned through 90‹ by the hand-wheel 44 and subsequently lowered so that a through passage 36 is aligned with the inlet and outlet. An additional compensating- surface may be provided on the valve casing. The sliding lift-valve member shown in Fig. 11 has separable seating-portions 27, 28 freely rotatable in rings 26. The seating portions 27, 28 are kept together by an elastic ring 33 and moved relatively to one another to engage the valve seats by means of wedge surfaces 22, 23 on an oval-shaped ring member 29 which engage wedge surfaces on the rings 26, when a spindle 30 integral with the member 29 is lowered. A passage 1, 2 in the members 27, 28 is directly connected to the inlet and connects by means of branched balancing passages 32 with a compensating passage 16. Additional passages 18, some of which establish communication between vertical surfaces of the valve member and the chamber surrounding it and others lead to the compensating passage, are provided. The ring 33, which may be laminated, is protected from the fluid pressure by shrouding flanges 34.
