Abstract: 516,069. Conveyers. CARR, R. G. June 20, 1938, No. 18230. [Class 78 (i)] [Also in Group XIII] Granular, fibrous or leafy material, e.g., grass is dried in an enclosure by a gas varying from almost saturated where the material enters to a hot dry gas where it is discharged, the blast pressure of the gas being such as to hold the material against moving conveying surfaces and to ensure uniform transfer of the material from one section to another. Hot air or superheated steam is blown at 11 up through endless conveyers 3, 9, 10 and is exhausted at 12 for recirculation, part passing through a feeding conveyer 14 with sealing means 18 ... 20 so that the gas passes through it several times before escape. The grass is chopped by toothed wheels 28 with a rotary chain device 30 for clearing the teeth. The grass is lifted frem one conveyer to the lower surface of the next by the gas, a thermostatically-controlled portion of the hot gas passing'directly through the grass as it leaves at 25. Alternatively, a blast 32 lifts grass from a conveyer 3 on to a rotary perforated drum 33 in a casing with an adjustable blind 34 and an airsealing drum 36, the grass passing over the drum to an outlet 50.

The acid used for treating the mixture may be hydrochloric acid or carbon dioxide in water. The carbon used is in the form of graphite preferably, and its concentration in the mixture may be between 5% and 90%. The surface layer may be formed by spraying, applying with a brush, or by casting on to an electrically insulating heat resistant carrier, one or more layers being applied. The thickness of the surface layer may be between ten microns and several centimetres. Examples of specific constructions and uses of such electric heating elements are given.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the recording of television signals
Inventor: FITZGERALD JOHN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N5/84
Filed: 1950-07-26
Abstract: 695,377. Television. BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION. July 19, 1951 [July 26, 1950], No. 18727/50. Class 40 (iii). In apparatus for recording television signals on intermittently moving film, the signals are first recorded on cathode-ray storage tubes at the normal line scan rate and then read off at an increased rate so as to lengthen the interval between successive frames and allow a longer period for movement of the film. Standard television signals at 25 pictures per second received at terminal 12 are applied to storage tubes 1, 2 and the stored information is read off at an increased rate and applied to a reproducing tube 19 which is photographed by camera 21, the tubes 1 and 2 functioning alternately for recording and regeneration by means of commutators 13 and 22 rotating once every <SP>2</SP>/ 25  second. Shutter 20 having the form shown in Fig. 2 rotates at the same speed as the commutators. Terminal 18 connects with a fixed bias to provide constant intensity beams in the storage tubes during regeneration. Fig. 3 explains the timing of the operation. During a first picture period T<SP>1</SP>, signals are stored in tube 2, say, and regenerated from tube 1, the regeneration and film recording taking place during the first half of the period t<SP>1</SP>, and the camera shutter being closed and the film moved forward during the second half t<SP>2</SP>. During the second period T2, the operation is similar, tube 1 now storing information whilst the previously recorded information in tube 2 is read off. The scanning for regeneration is preferably not interlaced and takes place with an increased number of lines, e.g. 800. Commutators 13 and 22 may be electronic. The Provisional Specification refers to the use of storage tubes having two cathode-ray beams for an arrangement where the film frame rate differs from the television picture rate.

Abstract: 689,229. Elastic valves. MAATSCHAPPIJ VOOR KOLENBEWERKING STAMICARBON N.V. Aug. 9, 1951 [Aug. 14, 1950], No. 18827/51. Class 135. In a valve comprising a sleeve or ring-like member 1 of rubber or similar elastic material having outwardly disposed radial flanges 2, 3 at its opposite ends and a through passage the area of which is varied by regulating the pressure of a fluid medium applied around the sleeve wall, the sleeve is radially stretched so as to widen the opening defined thereby and is subsequently clamped in the valve casing in the stretched condition. The flanges 2, 3 each have a circular series of holes 4 through which pass pins 5. These pins also pass into oppositely inclined cam slots 8 in two centrally apertured plates 6 between which the sleeve 1 is disposed. When the plates 6, 6 are turned in opposite directions as shown by the arrows so that lugs 11, 11<SP>1</SP> come into alignment, the pins are moved radially outwards to stretch the sleeve. The pins 5 are then locked in recesses 10. The slots 8 may be replaced by oblique cam surfaces provided notch - wise on the peripheries of the plates 6. Where the valve is bolted to a cyclone separator 17 as in Fig. 3, some of the bolts 16 may be used to secure the lugs 11, 11<SP>1</SP> in alignment. Compressed air is supplied to the annular chamber 13 surrounding the sleeve by a pipe 15 and a passage through a ring 12. In the fully closed position, the inside of the sleeve engages a circular seating element (not shown). Specification 671,934 is referred to.

Abstract: 337,359. Lahey, F. T. June 19, 1929. Fabrics composed of fibrous materials agglutinated by adhesives; compound fabrics; single coatings; special fabric bases; treatment prior to coating.-In a process for making a fibrous product, the fibres are cleaned, mordanted and then impregnated with natural or artificial dispersions of rubber and other gums such as rubber latex and crude rubber dispersed in linseed oil. Animal or vegetable fibres, either combed or in the form of batting, yam or cloth may be used. " Mordants," defined as substances which are capable of being absorbed by the fibrous material and also of coagulating or fixing the latex therein, suitable for cotton are aqueous solutions of ammonium sulphate and tannates. After mordanting, the fibres are partially dried and impregnated with the rubber dispersion, which may contain curing agents such as sulphur, poreproducing agents and other compounding agents in the form of gelatinous mixtures with substances such as gums, resins, starches and sugars. Before drying, the fibres may be treated with a coagulant such as lactic acid. Articles may be formed from the incompletely impregnated, semi-porous product by moulding in a moist condition, or laminated articles may be formed from sheets and subsequently moulded. The material may be further impregnated or coated with rubber dispersions, or with such substances as drying oils, cellulose solutions, artificial resins and balata, with or without subsequent vulcanization, to form artificial leathers, tyre fabrics, floor coverings, insulators, substitutes for vulcanized fibres, hangings, &c.

Abstract: 836,144. Sterilizing liquids. SEPARATOR A.B. June 17, 1957 [June 19, 1956], No. 19014/57. Class 49. [Also in Group XIII] Steam or other hot vapour or gas is passed from grooves formed in the surfaces of packed lamellµ into a stream of milk, cream or fruit juice. The liquid may have been given a rotary motion by passage over a spirally bent strip. The grooves 8 may widen towards their outlets. In Fig. 1, the lamellµ 6 are of general rectangular shape and held in an inclined position. The liquid to be heated enters at 4 and leaves at 5 whilst steam enters at 10. There may be another pack of lamellµ for the introduction of steam arranged opposite those shown. An apparatus (Fig. 4), may be formed with annular lamellµ 11, with the liquid passing through the passage 25 formed by the central holes, in which case the steam is introduced through a side inlet 26 in a casing 12 surrounding the packed lamellµ. Alternatively, in an annular apparatus (Fig. 6, not shown), the liquid passes around the packed lamellµ from a side inlet to a top outlet, and the steam is introduced into the passage formed by the central holes, the passage being closed at the top. The grooves 8 in the disc lamellµ 11 may be curved or at an angle to the radial direction. The lamellµ 11 may be cone- or cup-shaped. There may be two packs of annular lamellµ set one within the other so that steam from a space surrounding the outer pack and from the innermost passage may pass into liquid flowing through the annular passage between the two packs.
