Title: Colour photographic sensitive elements for picture and sound recording
IPC: G03C7/24
Filed: 1940-01-03
Abstract: 536,466. Colour photography. KODAK, Ltd. (Eastman Kodak, Ltd.). Jan. 3, 1940, No. 184. [Class 98 (ii)] A colour photographic element for picture and sound recording has a plurality of differentially colour sensitive emulsions in two or more layers on a single support and between two of the layers an interlayer containing a silver salt emulsion which is sensitized to a region of the spectrum other than that to which it is inherently sensitive and other than the regions to which any of the other emulsions are sensitive, whereby it may be selectively exposed and developed to a light-absorbing interlayer which will prevent the light used for reversal exposure of an emulsion therebefore from detrimentally affecting an emulsion therebeyond. The interlayer may be infra-red or yellow sensitized. In the three-layer material, the interlayer is arranged between the blue-sensitive and the colour-sensitized emulsions. The latter may be separated by a second interlayer. The material may also be of the type comprising a mixed grain layer and a continuous layer, or comprising a layer having colour-sensitized grains of' one emulsion disposed in a layer of a second emulsion, and a continuous second layer of a third emulsion. The material is fogged in the picture areas only by infra-red light before or after the picture or sound areas have been exposed or after the first development, and in the last case development of the interlayer may be effected after removal of the negative silver images in the picture areas. The negative sound image may be toned as described in Specification 524,114, and the picture records. selectively processed to colour by a reversal process involving selective re-exposure. The interlayer may contain a removable dye such as tartrazine or fluorescein. Interlayers containing fogged silver salt emulsion or coloured colloidal silver are inapplicable in view of the subsequent toning of the sound record. The use of an interlayer containing a dye is referred to. Specifications 500,611, 600,793, 501,002, 503,752. 505,099, 507,841, and 551,008 also are referred to.

Title: Improved process for the production of cereal coffee substitutes
IPC: A23F5/44
Filed: 1930-01-02
Abstract: 339,821. Ohlhaver, H. Jan. 2, 1930. Coffee substitutes.-Cereal coffee is made by causing the cereal to undergo self fermentation during soaking, and then roasting. The fermentation differs from the process employed for causing it to germinate and stimulate the diastase in that the water is not charged to supply oxygen. This is supplied by the breaking down of proteins and carbohydrates in the cereal, so finally giving a product with a satisfactory solubility in water and no unpleasant taste. It is stated that wheat requires soaking for 20 hours in cold water but 8-10 hours at 25‹.

Title: Improvements in or relating to printing mechanisms for record controlled statisticalmachines
Inventor: EXCELL ARTHUR WILLIAM
Filed: 1952-01-02
Abstract: 721,759. Record-controlled printing machines. POWERS-SAMAS ACCOUNTING MACHINES, Ltd. Nov. 14, 1952 [Jan. 2, 1952], No. 197/52. Class 100 (4). Type-selecting mechanism.-In a record-controlled printing machine the type members (type bars, type sector or type wheels) are selectively moved into forty positions in addition to a stationary position by a selector member 10 which is arrested in desired position by a series of ten stops 20, 21 reciprocating through a longitudinally movable guide 31. The guide 31 is movable into three positions, giving three positions to each stop 20, 21, determined by means of three control slides 42, 48, 49. The fourth position of the guide 31 is determined by the depression of the rear part 21 only of the stops 20, 21. If a numeral code on the record is sensed, one of the nine numeral plungers 33 is operated and by means of Bowden cables 34 an interposer 27 is depressed projecting one of the stops 20, 21 into the path of a projection 15 on the guide 31 which is moved to the right by springs 14 anchored to a restoring bail 12. Since a numeral code has no second code the control stops 42, 48, 49 remain unmoved with stop 42 engaging a stop 47 on the guide and movement is prevented. When a letter, or other two code record is sensed an additional plunger 33a is operated and, according to which plunger is moved, operates (a) a control stop 48 and by means of parts 54-67 withdraws stop 42; (b) a fourth control slide 50, which by means of projections 78, 79 depresses the control stop 48, and in addition rocks a lever 70 and moves a slide 72 so that the part 20 of the stop is prevented from downward movement or (c) the control stop 49 and also, by parts 63-67, withdraws stop 42. The guide 31 moves to the right by the pull of springs 59 attached to a retain bail 58. The extreme stop 20, 21 positions a zero. Printing of zeros.-The printing of zeros to the right of a particular significant figure may be effected by the operation of control levers 80. These position arms 85 and pivotallyattached plates 88 so that they are located between a series of latches 16, one for each column and which are moved, to release the selector member 10, whenever a stop in that column is operated. The release operation of the latches 16 by the stops 20 is effected by pins 96 engaging a trip bar 97 and lever 100. A projection 94 on a moved latch 16 moves the plate 88 into the path of a bail 91 which raises the plate 88 and its arm 85 which in turn, by means of a lug 85a engages a lateral extension 86 on the next lower denominational arm 85 to release its latch 16 and so allows its selector member 10 to travel to the end stop 20, 21 and move a zero into printing position. Suppression of printing.-A series of levers 105 may be operated to shift a stop 111 into the path of a notch 112 on the selector member 10 so preventing its selective travel whether or not a stop 20, 21 has been operated.

Title: Sugarcane processing
IPC: B27J1/00
Filed: 1965-07-19
Abstract: 1,126,493. Laminates. R. B. MILLER. 19 July, 1965 [22 July, 1964], No. 200/68. Divided out of 1,126,492. Heading B5N. [Also in Divisions C3 and D1] Stalks of sugar cane are cleaned, split and the pith removed so as to leave undamaged strips of rind made up of bundles of fibres. For certain uses the individual fibres in the rind are loosened by pressing rollers or by drawing over a curved surface which may be a roller. An array of the strips may then be subjected to a pressing and heat treatment whereupon the fibre bundles in the strips spread laterally and become overlaid. On cooling the natural adhesive in the rind resets and an integral mass is formed. Thus boards, panels or veneers may be formed. Suitable conditions for the pressing treatment are a press or mould pressure of 300 p.s.i., a temperature of 280 F., a time of heating of about 9 mins. for an article  inch or less thick and a moisture content of the rind of about 15%. Before the pressure is released the temperature should be lowered below 212 F. Additional binders such as a melamine adhesive may be added to the strips. By differently arranging the strips, boards having different surface texture and appearance may be obtained. Thin sheets of the material may be bonded together at rightangles to form a plywood-like structure or the material may be bonded to plywood to produce an ornamental finish. In the preparation of the rind strip the loose outer fibres may be left on the cane to produce a colouring effect in the final product. Curved articles may also be formed.

Title: Process and apparatus for the rapid and continuous manufacture of preserved fruits
IPC: A23B7/08
Filed: 1927-01-04
Abstract: 264,156. Fraisse, C. M., Fraisse, E. M. G., and Fraisse, R. C. E. M., (trading as Soc. Fraisse FrÞres), Rambaud, A. A. F., Navarre, P. O. I., and Navarre, P., (trading as Soc. P. Navarre et Fils). Jan. 8, 1926, [Convention date]. Coating confectioners' goods.-In making crystallized fruits, the fruit is treated, in an autoclave having heating means, with sugar syrup which flows slowly under pressure through a series of the autoclaves 1-8, entering and leaving at the upper part of each so that displacement of the syrup therein is obtained by the differences in density. The syrup flows under pressure from tank 16 into autoclave 1 through pipe 14, passing in turn through pipes 13 to the successive autoclaves, and finally to tank 19 through pipe 17. The pressure within the autoclaves is regulated by controlling the flow of the syrup by taps 15, 18 on tubes 14, 17 respectively, the tap 15 being open wider than tap 18. The diluted syrup in tank 19 may be reconcentrated in a vacuum heater 23 and then forced by a pump or other means into tank 16 for reuse, or into a storage reservoir. When the fruit in, say, autoclave 1 is fully treated the autoclave is disconnected and replaced by another containing untreated fruit, and this new autoclave is then made the end one of the series. The fruit, previously washed, may be placed in the autoclaves in openwork metallic baskets or in wood cases having silk bottoms. The autoclaves may each be contained in a water bath 1<a>-8<a> heated preferably by a coil 21 supplied with steam from a boiler 20, the temperature in each autoclave being regulated by adjusting the steam supply to the water bath; alternatively several autoclaves may be heated by one bath. The temperature of the first and last of the series may be raised to prevent fermentation through introduction of ferments by the fruit or syrup. The autoclaves are each provided with a valve 10 on the lid 9 to allow escape of air during filling, and with an aperture 25 through which the syrup may be withdrawn when it becomes too viscous. The same syrup tanks 16, 19 may be employed for two or more series of autoclaves. The manner in which the density of the syrup in the successive autoclaves is regulated as described.

Abstract: 343,257. Ball-and-ring grinding or crushing mills. BABCOCK & WILCOX, Ltd., Babcock House, Farringdon Street, London.-(Babcock & Wilcox Co.; 85, Liberty Street, New York,U.S.A.) Jan. 2, 1930, No. 222. Addition to 334,058, [Class 59, Grinding, crushing, &c.]. [Class 59.] The screen 31 within the upper row of balls of the mill described in the parent Specification is replaced by a conically shaped, imperforate, plate 41 which is adapted to cause the material to pass from the inside to the outside of one row of balls and to direct the air current upwardly between the rows of balls and the conically shaped plate. The driving shaft 17 carries arms 15 slidably engaged by lugs in notches in a driving ring 12 spaced between two rows of balls 11, 14 running on a stationary ring 8 and a vertically movable, weighted, ring 19 respectively. The ring 19 is connected to a flanged ring 22 which is spaced apart from a similar ring 23 by springs 28 which are compressed by bolts 27. The ring 23 is suspended from rods 30 screw-threaded into a bush 31 rotatable through a worm and worm-wheel by a hand-wheel 36. An air-belt 6 with inlet 7 is formed around the mill and the air is directed by a partition 51 to passages 52 communicating with the interior of the row of balls 11 and thence passes upwardly to the separator 40 and outlet 5, a conical partition 41 preventing access of air to the row of balls 14. An annular baffle 49 rests on an annular ring plate 45 of L-shaped section which is movable vertically by adjustable rods 47 to adjust the size of the discharge opening for the material leaving the balls 14. The material is fed in by the pipe 43 to the row of balls 14, which may be of larger diameter than the balls 11, and is discharged through the gap between the plate 49 and ring 12 to the lower row of balls 11 from which it is discharged into the ascending air draught and is carried up to the separator 40, the fines passing out through the outlet 5 and the coarse material falling back through the pipe 42 to the balls 14.

Abstract: 1453123 Capacitative position sensor COMPAGNIE INTERNATIONALE POUR L INFORMATIQUE 4 Jan 1974 [8 Jan 1973]  00487/74 Heading G1N A system for measuring the position relative to a wall of the end 1 of a conducting tape forming an electrode of two capacitors C 1  C 2 , comprises on the wall fixed capacitor electrodes comprising a first metallized area 3 surrounding a second metalized area 2, which is connected to one input of an integrating operational amplifier A, whose other input is connected to one terminal of a squarewave A.C. source G, whose other terminal is connected to the area 3 whereby said capacitors charge up in a time substantially greater than the time constant defined. by their total capacitance and the resistance of the tape. Area 2 is surrounded by a guard ring, which with a sheath for its connections is earthed rendering stray capacitances Cp negligible. The tape forms with areas 2 and 3, capacitors C1 and C2 in series with the resistance Rb of the part of the tape which is opposite areas 2 and 3. The voltage output of amplifier A is proportional to Cb. 50 to 100 Hz is used. Amplifier A is reset during the non operative half cycle, in case it saturates, by the closure of electronic switch 21 when gate 18 is blocked. Threshold circuits 8 only allow response from amplifiers A1 to An when the tape is in front of a part 2' to 2<SP>n</SP> of area 2, by umblocking gate 11 connected to an OR circuit consisting of diodes 12. The position of the tap on the potentiomenter 10 determines the weighting of the signal reaching the OR circuit according to the rank of the part 2' to 2<SP>u</SP>. The generator peak value is controlled by attenuator 15 controlled by another OR circuit i.e. diodes 13, via threshold circuit 14. Each signal from gate 11 is an A.C. voltage, converted by transistorized circuit 16 into a current variation and back to a voltage signal referenced with respect to earth in transistorized circuit 17 and applied to capacitor 19 via gate 18 periodically unblocked by generator G. Impedance adapter stage 20 issues a stepped analogue voltage appropriate for servomechanism SM.
