Title: A device for repressing an obstruction in the powder eduction mouth of one or more cyclones
Inventor: BOER GEERT DE
IPC: B04C5/15
Filed: 1962-01-31
Abstract: 936,376. Centrifugal separators. VOLMA N.V. Jan. 31, 1962, No. 3613/62. Class 23. Powdered material is prevented from settling on the wall of the eduction mouth 2 of one or each of a number of cyclones 1 positioned on an outlet conduit 3 by means of a rotary vane wheel 4 mounted in the mouth 2 with its rotational axis coinciding with the cyclone axis. The wheel may be rotated by the whirling of gas in the cyclone or, as shown, by an electric motor 5 secured to the underside of the conduit 3. In the latter case, the vanes may be so shaped and driven at such a speed that they displace gas from the cyclone into the conduit 3 so that, in the event of a higher pressure prevailing in the conduit, leakage of gas from the latter into the cyclone is prevented. Specification 29186/1910 is referred to.

Filed: 1970-01-27
Abstract: 1294564 Energy absorber ENERGY ABSORPTION SYSTEMS Inc 27 Jan 1970 3963/70 Heading B5N [Also in Division F2] An energy absorber comprises a plurality of sheet-like members which are so arranged relative to each other and which are rigid to an extent such that their edges will cut into each other upon the energy absorber being subjected to an impact causing the edges to be crushed together, thereby to dissipate the energy of impact. The energy absorber may. comprise a first unit of sheet-like members arranged in spaced non-intersecting disposition relative to each other and a second unit of sheet-like members also arranged in spaced non-intersecting disposition relative to each other, the sheet-like members of the first unit being arranged in edge-to-edge relationship with and transversely to the sheet-like members of the second unit. A membrane may be disposed between the first and second units for normally preventing cutting of the members of the respective units to control the minimum energy at which energy absorption begins. In Fig. 1 spaced non-intersecting members 10 and 12 lie parallel to each other in spaced relation and to increase the strength and rigidity of the structure a plurality of intersecting members 14 are secured to members 10 and 12 at points 16 and 18 to form a lattice-like construction. This lattice-like construction overlies a similar construction made of members 20, 22 and 24, there being disposed between the constructions a membrane 30. The sheet-like members may be of strips of paper, plastics, plastic-coated paper or metal, e.g. aluminium. The energy absorbing material may be used on the front or rear of automobiles in co-operation with a flexible hydraulic buffer, or between the metal facing and wood or metal support posts of a highway guard rail.

Title: Production of styrenes and other products
IPC: C07C4/00
Filed: 1941-03-25
Abstract: a  : a -Diarylparaffins in which the paraffin chain contains at least two carbon atoms, are heated in the presence of water vapour and a siliceous catalyst, whereby two mononuclear aromatic compounds, one of which has an unsaturated side chain, are obtained.  Starting materials mentioned are: a  : a -diphenyl, phenyl tolyl, ditolyl, phenylxylyl, tolylxylyl, and dixylyl ethane and a  : a -diphenyl, phenyltolyl, phenylxylyl, ditolyl and tolylxylylpropane.  Benzene still residues may also be employed especially after fractionation. In examples: (1) equal volumes of a  : a -p : p-ditolylethane and water are passed through a heated tube containing hydrated aluminium silicate; the resulting light oil on fractionation yields toluene and p-methyl styrene; (2) a  : a -diphenylpropane similarly yielded benzene and methylstyrene; (3) fractions of benzene still residues containing a  : a -phenylxylylethane and a  : a -phenyl tolylethane are treated in the presence of hydrated aluminium silicate, and the unchanged hydrocarbon repassed over the catalyst; styrene, toluene and xylene are obtained.  Kaolin and silica gel may also be used as catalysts.  Halogen, hydroxyl and other nuclear substituents may be present in the starting materials.  The diarylethanes used as starting material may be prepared from acetylene or acetaldehyde and benzene, toluene or xylene.
