Title: Preparation of anionic surfactants from phenolic lipids obtainable from cashew nut-shell liquid
Inventor: TYMAN JOHN HENRY PAUL
IPC: C07C41/16
Filed: 2008-11-12
Abstract: Sodium and potassium salts of phenolic lipids obtainable from cashew nut-shell liquid, in particular 3-pentadecylphenol, cardanol and cardol, are reacted with ethylene sulphate to obtain surfactant materials having an —O-CH2CH2-OSO3H group in place of the phenolic hydroxy groups. The reaction allows any unsaturation in the side chain of the phenolic lipid to be preserved. The phenolic lipids may also be reacted with ethylene carbonate to obtain hydroxyether intermediates for sulfonation/sulfation to give surfactant materials.

Title: Corrosion Protection of Steel in Concrete
Inventor: GLASS GARETH KEVIN
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 2009-06-15
Abstract: A cathodic protection device comprising a sacrificial anode 10, an electric field modifier 14/15, an ionically conductive filler 16 and an activating agent. The sacrificial anode 10 is formed of a material with a more negative electrochemical potential than the steel and is surrounded by the modifier which is preferably shaped as a tube or hollow container. The modifier comprises inner surface which is a cathode 15 that supports a reduction reaction and an outer surface which is an anode 14 that supports an oxidative reaction. The filler 16 contains an electrolyte that connects the sacrificial anode to the cathode of the modifier. The activating agent is applied to the surface of the sacrificial anode to maintain activity. In use, the device is embedded in a cavity formed in a concrete element 9 or in a damaged region and the sacrificial anode 10 is connected to the steel 9. The modifier boosts the current output of the sacrificial anode 10 to enhance its protective effect and to direct the current output in a preferred direction to improve current distribution in the galvanic protection of steel.

Title: Surface modification
Inventor: KUGLER THOMAS
IPC: C08J7/043
Filed: 2009-08-04
Abstract: A method of modifying a fluorinated polymer surface comprises depositing substantially perfluorinated aromatic polymer on the fluorinated polymer surface, and depositing a further aromatic polymer having a lower degree of fluorination than the substantially perfluorinated aromatic polymer. This provides a surface onto which a substance having a lower degree of fluorination than the perfluorinated aromatic polymer, for example a non-fluorinated substance, can be deposited. The invention may be useful in the fabrication of thin film devices, such as organic thin film transistors (OTFTs), where fluorinated polymers are chosen for the gate insulator dielectric material 11.

All the projections may be retracted towards the end of injection to allow the injected material to entirely cover the reinforcement. The projections 34 comprise sleeves 34a into which rods 12 of the reinforcement are fitted and are positioned by pins 34b, both the pins and the sleeves being flush with the mould surface 30 after retraction by rams 35, Fig. 4. Cores 32, 33 which form opening 17, e.g. for engagement by a fork-lift are advanced and retracted by rams (not shown), and after advancing are expanded by a wedge 38, Fig. 8. Pads 22b are provided on the sides of the cores (dotted lines on Fig. 4) or on the mould walls to produce apertures 22 in the faces of the pallet. The grooves 36, Fig. 8, on the cores form the ribs of material covering the rods 12, 13, and may alternatively be provided on the mould faces to produce ribbed surfaces on the pallet. A pallet having apertures on opposite faces which are not in register may be injection moulded in the cavities formed between the interdigiting portions 56-61 and 67-71 of mould halves 52 and 54, Fig. 12.

Title: A double printing process more particularly adapted for advertising matters in newspapers
IPC: B41M3/00
Filed: 1927-04-14
Abstract: 269,581. Boyadjian, J. April 16, 1926, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect 91 of the-Acts]. Printing processes; stereotype.-A stereotype matrix is provided with two superposed impressions so that from the stereotype plate cast therefrom, two superposed impressions, such as the ordinary text of a newspaper and an advertisement, may be printed simultaneously. In one method of preparing the matrix, the flong is pressed upon the forme comprising the text and is then further impressed with an original of the advertisement &c., the second impression not being sufficiently heavy to render the print of the first impression illegible. In a second method, a thin flexible sheet of lead, copper, wire gauze, or other flexible suitable material cut to the form of the advertisement &c. is placed on the forme comprising the text and the flong is then pressed thereon. Under the pressure the flexible sheet is moulded on to the type matter in the forme and the corresponding portions of the flong become more deeply impressed than the remaining portions. The plate cast therefrom will therefore print the advertisement &c. in a darker colour. In a third method, a sheet cut to form the advertisement &c. is placed between the blanket and the press head of the matrix press. The corresponding parts of the flong are thus less deeply impressed with the type matter in the forme and the advertisement is consequently printed in a lighter colour. In a fourth method an impression of the advertisement is made upon an unimpressed flong in a fatty ink on which powdered emery glass, pumice stone &c. is caused to adhere. When the impression is dry, the flong is pressed upon the forme. The parts coated with powder receive a less deep impression than the remaining portions.. In a further method, the flong is perforated in accordance with the design of the advertisement, which is thereby formed on the stereotype plate in dotted lines.

Abstract: 830,556. Parachute packs. ETUDES ET FABRICATIONS AERONAUTIQUES. April 2, 1958 [April 4, 1957], No. 10560/58. Class 4. Parachute apparatus comprises a pack having cone and grommet fastenings securable by rip cord cable pins each passing through a first aperture in a cone, each cone having a second aperture through which a pin may be inserted temporarily for holding the pack closed, and a static line having as many sets of grommets as there are cones, one grommet of each set being adopted to fit on a cone, and the other grommets and the first aperture in the cone being adapted to receive breakable fastening means. In Fig. 1, the pack has side flaps 2 and 3 and end flaps 4 and 5. A cone is provided on each of flaps 2, 4, and 5, and there are two grommets 16 on flap 2 (one shown) and three grommets 17 (two shown) on flap 3. Each cone has a first aperture 14, and a second aperture 15 (shown on one cone) transverse to aperture 14. On release, the side flaps are thrown open by leaf springs 6. To engage the grommets on the cone, a thread 35 is disposed as shown and pulled. When the pack is to be opened manually, the grommets are retained on the cones by rip cord pins 34, Fig. 8, on a rip cord D having a hand ring 33 and passing through a tube 10 fixed to a harness strap 8 and to a reinforcing member 12 on flap 4. An auxiliary flap 19 sewed at 18 to flap 3 has female press stud elements 23 engaged on male elements 24 on flap 3, to cover the cones and pins. On pulling the rip cord, the flaps are thrown open by springs 6, and a pilot parachute is ejected by coil spring, Fig, 11 (not shown). When the pack is to be opened by a static line, the cones and grommets are secured by auxiliary pins passing through apertures 15. The static line C has a buckle 25 attached to the aircraft at one end, and has a strap 27 at its other end containing three sets of three grommets. Main grommets 28 are placed over the cones, and frangible ties 37 are threaded through smaller grommets 29 and apertures 14 and knotted, as shown in Fig. 7. The auxiliary pins are then withdrawn from apertures 15. The static line ends in a loop 30, Fig. 1, tied at 31 to crown lines 29 of the canopy, there being no pilot parachute. When the static line is placed under tension, the ties 37 break, freeing the cones and grommets, the flaps are thrown open by springs 6, and tie 31 withdraws the canopy and finally breaks. When the static line is used, the auxiliary flap 19 is folded back under a band 21 on flap 3, the female press stud elements on flap 19 engaging male elements 22 on band 21.
