Title: Gaseous fueled i.c. engine with staggered intake valve opening to reduce backfire
Inventor: BOYER BRAD ALAN
IPC: F02D19/02
Filed: 2008-09-01
Abstract: Gaseous fuel. eg hydrogen, and intake air are delivered to a first intake port 252 of a cylinder of an i.c. engine and intake air without gaseous fuel is delivered to a second intake port 250 of the cylinder, the first port 252 separated from the second port 250. Further, the method includes inducting the fuel and intake air from the first port via a first intake valve 222, and the intake air from the second port via a second intake valve 220, where the first intake valve 222 is opened after, eg 20 to 60 crank degrees after, the second intake valve 220. The gaseous fuel may be delivered into the first port 252 by an injector 260 located downstream of the bifurcation of the intake ports 250, 252. The gaseous fuel thus enters the cylinder after the residual gas and hot metal have been cooled by the fuel-free air, reducing the likelihood of backfire. A variable cam timing system may be used to adjust valve opening timing and injection timing depending on judged potential for backfire.

Patent GB-1302721-A (GB)
IPC: A24C5/31
Filed: 1970-03-03
Abstract: 1302721 Cigarette making machines HAUNI WERKE KORBER & CO KG 3 March 1970 [26 March 1969] 10122/70 Heading A2C [Also in Division F2]  In the production of rod-like articles, such as filter cigarettes, involving the assembly of components of one kind which components of another kind, the feed of components of one kind is subject to control such that a signal to interrupt the feed becomes effective only when one of the components reaches a predetermined position in advance of the assembly point. The invention is described applied to a machine for uniting filter plugs with tobacco rods by paper connector sheets, in which the supply of both the filter plugs and the connector sheets may be interrupted. Filter rods received from a magazine are cut into double-length plugs and conveyed by grooved feed drums 14, 15, Fig. 2a to a conveyer drum on which they are interposed between aligned pairs of tobacco rods. The drum 14 is driven by a clutch 13, Fig. 2, held in engagement by a spring 39 acting through a lever 31, and disengaged by a solenoid 32. To interrupt the supply of filter plugs, a pushbutton 33 is operated to energize the solenoid through an amplifier 36 which receives pulses from a non contact-making device 37 coacting with a synchronizing disc 41 driven by the machine, the arrangement being such that the solenoid is not energized until the drum 14 is so positioned that one of the filter plugs carried thereon lies in a predetermined relationship to the drum 15. The clutch is re-engaged by operation of a push button 34 which interrupts a holding circuit 48, 49, synchronism of the drums 14, 15 being ensured by correspondence of the number of teeth 38 on the clutch with the number of grooves on the drum 14. A paper web 18, Fig. 3, is drawn from a reel by rollers 51, 52, gummed, and cut into individual connector sheets for application to the aligned tobacco rods and filter plugs which then pass to a rolling drum, an air-flow resistance testing drum, a dividing drum, and turning and conveyor drums. One revolution of the roller 51, which is driven through a clutch 17, feeds a length of paper which corresponds to four connector sheets. The clutch is driven by a toothed member 71 which has four radial projections 73 for driving engagement with a lever 61 pivotally mounted at 59 on the driven member 63 which is connected by a shaft 66 with the roller 51. The pivotal movement permitted the lever 61 on energization of a solenoid 57 to disengage the clutch is limited by a latch member 77 which prevents immediate disengagement of the lever from a projection 73 but is moved radially outwardly a sufficient distance to strike one of four stationary projections 76 whereby the latch member is swung out of engagement with the lever 61, allowing the lever to swing out of engagement with the projection 73. The driven member 63 is then braked by engagement of a knife edge 62 carried by the lever 61 with a stationary fine-toothed ring 83.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of granular fertilizers
Inventor: THOMAS GORDON DENIS
IPC: C05C9/00
Filed: 1952-04-23
Abstract: Granular fertilizers are produced by feeding to a paddle mixer dry solid material containing at least one of the desired components of the fertilizer and simultaneously feeding into the mixer a concentrated solution containing at least one other of the desired components of the fertilizer while subjecting the mass to rapid mixing during a retention time in said paddle mixer of above 65 and up to 120 seconds and then passing the mixed material into conditioning apparatus in which it is granulated, dried and screened. If the invention is applied to the production of fertilizers made from urea and calcium carbonate the mixing time may be from 20 to 120 seconds in which case the concentration of the urea solution fed is preferably between 70 and 95 per cent by weight of urea and the temperature of the solution is at most 120 DEG  C.  Dried material may be returned from the screens to the paddle mixer to give a moisture content of the material leaving the mixer within a range of 5 per cent to 14 per cent.  Other fertilizers such as phosphates and potassium sulphate or chloride may be added to the dry solids fed to the paddle mixer.  In an example, dry solid comprising 32 per cent chalk together with 68 per cent of recycled material is fed at 55 DEG C. to a paddle mixer and therein sprayed with a 77 per cent urea solution at 99 DEG  C. The material leaving the mixture at a moisture content of 8.9 per cent was fed to a granulator where it is granulated under non-drying conditions at about 65 DEG  C. and then passed to a rotary drier where it is dried countercurrent to a heated air stream which entered at 100 DEG  C. and left at 62 DEG  C.  The retention time in the granulator and drier was about 20 minutes and the final moisture content was 0.6 per cent.
