Title: Pulleys
IPC: F16H59/30
Filed: 1973-03-02
Abstract: 1433523 Expanding wheel gear AC CARS Ltd 3 June 1974 [2 March 1973] 10177/73 Heading F2D In an expanding V-belt driving pulley, wherein one flange 31 is moved axially towards an axially fixed flange 27 by centrifugal force, created by pulley rotation, acting on oil in a chamber 41, defined by the movable flange 31 and an axially fixed back plate 34, the chamber 41 is permanently communicated with either the atmosphere (Fig. 1, not shown), or an oil tank 45 through a breather passage (26, 8, Fig. 1) or 42, 44 respectively. The axially fixed flange 27 and back plate 34 are both secured to a sleeve 28 fast on a driving shaft 29, and the movable flange 31 is guided by axial pins 39 secured to either the flange 31 or back plate 34. In Fig. 2, the upper part of the oil tank 45 communicates through a line 48 with a valve 54 which opens the line to atmosphere at 53 or to the intake 50 of an I.C. engine in accordance with the action of intake depression 50 on a spring-loaded diaphragm 60. Thus, on a motor vehicle, sudden throttle opening at low or medium speeds reduces the air pressure in the oil tank 45, drawing oil out of the pulley chamber 41, causing reduction in effective pulley diameter and hence downshift in the drive ratio.

Patent GB-590645-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of 7-hydroxy isoquinoline
IPC: C07D217/02
Filed: 1944-05-31
Abstract: 7-Hydroxyisoquinoline is isolated from mixtures thereof with 5-hydroxyisoquinoline, which are produced by sulphonation of isoquinoline or a sulphate thereof and alkali fusion of the sulphorated material (with or without purification), by preparing a solution of the mixture of isomers in a solvent therefor, e.g. methyl alcohol, and separating the less soluble 7-hydroxyisoquinoline from the solution by fractional crystallization.  The sulphonation may be effected by means of sulphuric acid containing an excess (e.g. 15-60 per cent, preferably about 30 per cent) of sulphur trioxide, at 150-250 DEG  C. (preferably about 200 DEG  C.), advantageously in a pressure vessel.  The isoquinolinesulphonic acids are then preferably separated from impurities by reaction with a metal hydroxide or carbonate to form salts which can be purified by crystallization, e.g. the barium salts by the action of barium carbonate (preferred) or hydroxide.  The alkali fusion, which may be applied to the acids regenerated from the crystallized salts by acidification, or if desired, to the crude acids, may be effected with sodium or potassium hydroxide, at 200-250 DEG  C.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also an alternative process in which the barium salts of isoquinoline 7- and 5-sulphonic acids are separated from each other as well as from the impurities, e.g. by crystallization, and the respective acids are liberated, e.g. by the action of sulphuric acid, and subjected separately to alkali fusion, e.g. with potassium hydroxide at 230-240 DEG  C.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 610,462. Cathode-ray tubes. AMBROSE, E. J., WRIGHT, K. A. B., and SALMON, J. G. April 6, 1946, No. 10655. [Class 39 (i)] The signal electrode of a mosaic screen is transparent and is made by depositing a layer of an. oxidizable metal such as chromium or tungsten, or platinum which is not easily oxidizable, on to the mica support, covering the layer with a transparent layer of aluminium, and superficially oxidizing the aluminium layer. The layers are applied by evaporation. After the aluminium layer has been deposited, the electrode may be heated in a high vacuum to 450‹ to 520‹ C. for about 20 minutes, and is then exposed to the atmosphere to cause superficial oxidation of the aluminium layer. Alternatively, the aluminium-layer is first exposed to the atmosphere to cause superficial oxidation and is subsequently heated to evaporate some or all of the unoxidized aluminium. The Provisional Specification states in addition that the electrode support may be opaque, and that the temperature range for the heat treatment is 500‹ to 520‹ C.

Pork or other meat is matured by being stored at -1‹C. to 10‹C. for 1-4 or more days, sliced and cured by being sprinkled with nitrate-or nitrite-containing common salt (sodium chloride) or other pulverulent curing material and immediately packed in bags of laminated polyethylene or cellophane which are evacuated and heat-sealed and stored at low temperature, e.g. for ¢ to 48 hours, so that the meat develops colour and flavour. The slices, preferably 2 to 10 mm. thick, are advanced on a mesh conveyer belt under the nozzles of a powder dispensing device and thicker slices may be turned and sprinkled on the other side. The slices retain preferably from 1 to 7% by weight of a powder which contains from 0.02 to 2%, preferably 0.5%, by weight, of nitrite, so that the meat slices receive from 10 to 200 ppm. thereof. Nitrate if used may be accompanied by a reducing agent, e.g. a carbohydrate such as glucose or sucrose. The slices may also receive an application of a flavour producing bacteria, or a U.V. killed culture, or an enzyme preparation therefrom, e.g. micro coccus roseus, applied separately, e.g. with a carrier such as lactose or skim milk powder, or admixed with the curing powder. The curing mixture may also contain added liquid smoking agents or smoke condensed on a carrier, e.g. glucose or sodium chloride. The fatty parts of the meat preferably receive the least amount of nitrate and this may be achieved by applying first a common salt mixture poor in nitrate all over followed by an application to the lean meat only of a common salt having a much higher nitrite content.
