Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 25,141. Serpek, O. Nov. 11. Aluminium and silicon nitrides are prepared from bauxite, kaolin, clay, or other bodies containing silica and alumina mixed or combined, with the addition of the requisite amount of carbon, by first heating in the presence of nitrogen to a temperature of about 1300-15000 C. for the production of silicon nitride, and afterwards raising the temperature to about 1600-1800‹ C. for the production of aluminium nitride. In the production of silicon nitride, it is necessary that the nitrogenous gas should not contain oxygen free or combined, while for the production of aluminium nitride the gas should not contain free oxygen or carbon dioxide.

Abstract: 15,452. Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co., and Hoerlein, H. Jan. 3. Aryl- and arylalkyl-barbituric acids; pyrimidines; thioureas.-Phenylpropyl- and p-methoxyphenylethyl-barbituric acids and their salts are prepared by converting according to the condensation methods usually employed in the production of barbituric acids, the corresponding substituted malonic or cyanacetic acids or their derivatives into barbituric acids and their salts or into intermediate products, or by converting the corresponding aryl-malonic or -cyanacetic acids or their derivatives into the arylbarbituric acids or intermediate compounds, alkylating these products, and converting the intermediate products produced by either of the above methods into the desired acid, for example, by eliminating the imino group from the guanidine condensation products, &c. The derivatives of the parent acids employed are esters, amides, chlorides, nitriles, phenylpropylmalonaminic esters, p-methoxyphenylethyl-malonaminic esters, &c. The condensation may be carried out with urea, its thio, alkyl, and acyl derivatives, guanidine derivatives, dicyandiamide, guanylurea, urethane, biuret, allophanic ester, &c., and the condensation products where necessary, converted into the barbituric acids. The acids and their salts are useful in medicine. Specification 11,219/05 is referred to.

Title: Improved Track Apparatus for Operating Railway Signals.
Inventor: DUCELLIER LEON
IPC: B61L1/04
Filed: 1912-07-15
Granted: 1913-07-15
Abstract: 16,534. Ducellier, L., and Guillou, H. July 15. Track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains.-Magneto generators operated by the passage of train wheels supply energy directly to signalling- apparatus or actuate relays for this purpose. A soft-iron pole-piece 7 is supported on a spring plate 1 in proximity to the pole-pieces 9 of the magnets 8. The plate 1 is clamped between flexible material to a bed-plate fixed to the sleepers, and its end is turned up to present an inclined surface above the rail A so that each wheel of a passing tram depresses the plate and, separating the soft-iron piece 7 from the pole-pieces 9, causes a variation in the magnetic circuit and a consequent excitation of the coils. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement of two such magnetogenerators by which a signal S or a relay may be operated when a train passes from M to N, but the signal is unaffected when a train passes in the reverse direction. The circuit from the generator P' is normally closed at the contact c', but if the generator P is first actuated, the relay R closes the circuit from the battery Q through the relay R<1> and a condenser A in parallel thereto. This circuit is so arranged that the relay maintains the contact c<1> closed for a certain time after the train has cleared the generator P until it has also cleared the generator P<1> and thus no signal is given.

Title: An Improved Mechanism for Adjusting the Tension of Strings.
Inventor: ROSE PAUL
IPC: F16G11/12
Filed: 1912-09-17
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 21,196. Rose, P. Sept. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Pendants. - Apparatus for adjusting the tension of strings &c. comprises a pin a, Fig. 1, on which the string is wound, a fixed elastic support d, and an irreversible drive-member shown as a nut e working on a screwed extension b of the pin a. When the nut e is turned it first rotates the pin a, b by friction at the screw - thread. The string is consequently tightened until a point is reached when the nut moves along the screw b instead of turning it. This, however, increases the friction at the screw-thread, owing to the reaction between the nut e and the elastic wall d, so that a further movement of the nut e again rotates the pin a and so on. The friction at the surface i, j prevents the tension of the string from bringing about a reverse movement. The application to a violin or other tuning-peg is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The head 8 and threaded metal sleeve 9 correspond to the nut e, Fig. 1, while the fixed member is represented at 5. A screw 11, which takes into the end of the threaded part of the pin 1, 7 holds a spring 12 in compression against the sleeve 9, the object being to prevent the sleeve 9 from merely unscrewing on the pin 1, 7, instead of turning it backwards, when the head 8 is turned counter-clockwise. The Specification as open to inspection undei Section 91 (3) (a) states that the invention is applicable to the adjustment and control !of chandeliers &c., and that the movable parts may have rectilinear instead of rotary motion. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 21,850. Champy, N. G. A. M. J., and Champy, L. P. A. G. Sept. 25. Storing under pressure.-Acetylene dissolved in acetone or other solvent is stored in receptacles filled with a finely-divided porous material having interstitial spaces of minimum size and prepared by the carbonization of organic substances. Birch wood or the like is preferably chosen as the organic substance, but bamboo, cane, cellulose, wood pulp, &c. may also be used. The porous material is capable of being re-employed, without modification of its quality, for filling other receptacles by simple decantation, this entailing no loss of the solvent with which it is impregnated. Carbonization is preferably effected by means of superheated steam, saps and resins being first extracted by means of steam at a lower temperature, and the organic substance is preferably finely divided before carbonization. The pieces may be of such size as to pass through a two-millimetre sieve and not to pass through one with a mesh of one-fifth of a millimetre.
