Filed: 1974-08-19
Abstract: 1475895 Copying by scanning PURDY & MCINTOSH ELECTRONIC DEVELOPMENTS Ltd 19 Aug 1974 36407/74 Addition to 1110991 Heading H4F The photo-typesetting system of the parent Specification is modified by moving the actual print-out CRT across the static photographic film so that the successive line traces on the CRT are recorded side by side on the photographic film to thereby form a character thereon. A line of characters is recorded on the film and then the film is stepped to record the next line of characters. This system may be modified by arranging for the fixed position straight-line traces on the CRT to be laterally moved to thereby increase fractionally the spaces between the recorded parallel line traces on the film during the print-out of each character with fly-backs at the end of each character. This enables the recorded characters in each line of characters to overlap i.e. kerning is produced as described in Specification 1,299,357.

Title: Improved manufacture of refractory products from magnesium silicates
IPC: C04B35/16
Filed: 1930-07-07
Abstract: Refractory substances are made by firing a mixture of (a) powdered magnesium silicates which when in powder form contract on firing, e.g. natural rocks, such as olivine and serpentine, having a high magnesium orthosilicate or hydrosilicate content, and (b) granular magnesium orthosilicates or products rich in orthosilicate the volume of which remains substantially constant during firing.  The proportions are such that there is no appreciable change of volume when the mixture is fired.  Powdered magnesium oxide or substances rich in oxide are preferably added to the mixture in excess of the amount required to convert the hydrosilicate to orthosilicate and the iron silicate to magnesium orthosilicate and magnesium ferrite.

Abstract: 1,150,290. Casting processes; casting composite articles; mould-lining and core-coating materials. INTERNATIONAL NICKEL Ltd. 10 Aug., 1967 [22 Aug., 1966], No. 36828/67. Heading B3F. [Also in Divisions C3 and C7] A protective or decorative metallic coating is formed on surfaces of a casting, e.g. a deck cleat or valve body of iron or steel, by applying a slurry of powdered coating metal (e.g. Ni, Ni-Cu or other Ni-containing alloy, Ni and Cu, Cr or stainless steel) and a binder in water to surfaces of a mould or core, or to surfaces of a consumable (polystyrene) pattern to be put into contact with the mould, and allowing the slurry to dry before casting the main metal (at 1288- 1621 C.); the binder is 0À05-1% methyl cellulose, or 0À05 to 35% sodium silicate or polyacrylate, of the slurry by weight. The coating metal slurry is applied to the mould &c. as a paste, by painting, spraying or dipping. A green or dry sand mould may be used and a coated sand mould or core may be oven-dried for 1 hour at 149 C. to give a coating <SP>1</SP>/ 32 -<SP>1</SP>/ 2  inch thick.

Core material and coating.-100 lbs. of silica sand, 1 1b. of bentonite and 1 1b. of "Mogul" (Trade Mark) binder are mixed and mulled. Two quarts of linseed oil and 3 quarts of water are then added. Cores moulded from the mixture are baked at 204 C. for 3 hours, then given a mica wash and the baking repeated. The cores are then painted with a nickel powder slurry containing 0-25% methyl cellulose to give a coating <SP>1</SP>/ 8  inch thick.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the purification of waste waters from petroleum hydrocarbon processing
Inventor: BROWN KENNETH MICHAEL
IPC: C02F1/26
Filed: 1956-12-03
Abstract: Waste water from petroleum hydrocarbon processing is purified by contacting a stream of the water with a stream of a stripping gas so that the water is substantially freed of voltatile contaminants, and then contacting the water stream with a stream of liquid hydrocarbon so that non-volatile contaminants are transferred from the water stream to the hydrocarbon stream.  The purified water may be discarded into a body of water or it may be used in further hydrocarbon processing.  The stripping gas may be sweet natural gas, flue gas or mixtures thereof, and the stripping gas may remove such volatile contaminants as hydrogen sulphide, mercaptons and ammonia. The liquid hydrocarbon may be a polymerization unit feed stream, (e.g. a butane-butylene mixture) an overhead fraction from the product fractionator of a catalytic cracking unit (e.g. the gasoline-containing fraction boiling below 225 DEG C. and resulting from the cracking of gas oil of other heavy hydrocarbon oil fraction), gasoline, naphtha or kerosene; the liquid hydrocarbon may remove such non-volatile contaminants as phenols from the water. Where the liquid hydrocarbon contains volatile contaminants, at least a portion of these may transfer to the water stream, and in this case the water should be returned to the gas stripping zone for further removal of volatile contaminants.  Apparatus is described in which the water circulates continuously around a closed circuit, water from the stripping zone contacting in turn contaminated liquid p hydrocarbon polymerization unit feedstock, contaminant-free liquid hydrocarbon polymerization unit feedstock, and the overhead fraction from the product fractionator of a unit for the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons, before returning to the stripping zone.  Means are provided for continuously discarding a small portion of the water and continuously adding a small portion of fresh water.

Title: Method and apparatus for attaching a wire to a terminal element
IPC: H01H50/44
Filed: 1975-09-09
Abstract: A wire-guiding element which is allocated to a winding device contains a movable elongated nozzle (D) having a hook (FH) which can be displaced longitudinally inside the same. After the nozzle (D) has been moved up to the wire (WD) to be attached, the hook (FH) is moved out of the nozzle (D), against the force of a spring (F1), and, while it is subsequently being moved back into the nozzle (D), grips the wire (WD) and pulls the said wire into the nozzle (D) producing a loop which connects the wire (WD) to the spring (F1). The wire section which extends beyond the loop is cut off, by means of the cutting edges (SM, MK), as a result of the relative movement between the sleeve (H) and the nozzle (D). Subsequently, the nozzle (D) is moved to a connecting element (S), the spring (F1) drawing the wire (WD) further into the nozzle (D); the wire (WD) is subsequently attached to the connecting element (S), the wire (WD) being drawn out of the nozzle (D) again. The method is used in the production of electrical coils, especially for electromagnetic relays. <IMAGE>
