Title: Improved process for preserving and retarding the reactivity of easily reactable salts particularly for use in baking powders
IPC: A21D2/14
Filed: 1942-02-27
Abstract: 558,490. Sodium bicarbonate and orthophosphate, calcium monophosphate. STANDARD BRANDS, Inc. Feb. 27, 1942, No. 2621. Convention date, Jan. 22, 1941. [Classes 1 (ii) and' 1 (iii)] [Also in Group VI and IV] Easily reactible salts, such as alkali and alkaline earth carbonates, bicarbonates, tartrates and phosphates, particularly for use in baking powders, are preserved and their reactivity retarded by heating with a fatty compound to a temperature between the melting point of the latter and the decomposition point of the salt until the fatty compound is taken up interstitially by salt. The fatty compound may be an aliphatic monobasic saturated fatty acid, particularly one containing 12-24 carbon atoms or derivatives thereof such as esters or metallic salts. Absorption of the fatty compound is accelerated by incorporating a small amount of a polyhydroxy compound. including polyhydric alcohols, esters and acids such as glycols, glycerol, erythritol, pentaerychritol, sorbitol, glucose, sorbitol stearate and the hexonic acids, an ether such as amyl, butyl, isopropyl, diamyl, dibutyl, di-isopropyl and, particularly, dioxan, a liquid not readily volatile such as sorbitol laurate, furfural, limonene, ethyl or butyl lactate and butyl stearate or a dehydrating compound. In one example, 100 parts of granular sodium bicarbonate, 2.5-4 parts stearic acid and .05 parts crystalline sorbitol are sieved four times through an 80 mesh screen and heated at about 85‹ C. with stirring for about 35 minutes. Alternatively, the sorbitol may be dissolved in the molten stearic acid and the bicarbonate added. By substituting part of the stearic acid by a metal salt thereof, a clear molten mixture is obtained and the resulting coating is harder and has a higher melting point. In a second example, 4 parts of stearic acid are melted and five parts of dioxan added followed by 100 parts of sodium bicarbonate and the mixture is heated at about 85‹C with stirrng for four hours. Alternatvely, the stearic acid and bicarbonate may be mixed with one part of sorbitol laurate or other difficultly volatile liquid or with a small amount of a dehydrating agent, i.e. 1 per cent. anhydrous aluminium chloride dissolved in carbon tetrachloride, 10 per cent. anhydrous starch or calcium sulphate, 1 per cent, calcium lactate or 50 c.c.s carbon tetrachloride with 0.2 per cent. sulphuric acid.

Abstract: 495,181. Road signals for controlling traffic. SIEMENS & GENERAL ELECTRIC RAILWAY SIGNAL CO., Ltd., and NOBLE, J. D. Feb. 4, 1937, No. 3336. [Class 118 (ii)] In a vehicle-actuated system, wherein the means provided in the approaches to an intersection are capable of discriminating between fast and slow vehicles, and when operated cause an extension of the right of way sufficient for the vehicle to cross the intersection, if the vehicle is slow, the time taken to transfer the right of way from the intersection is increased. Preferably, pads of the .type described in Specification 488,437 are employed. The invention is described as applied to a system of the type described in Specification 408,706 but in which an "overlapping red and a " slow-moving vehicle " timer are included. A vehicle travelling in excess of, say, 6 m.p.h. extends the right of way period so that it crosses the intersection as the right of way is removed, but an " all red period determined by the " overlapping red timer protects the vehicle while crossing. A slow - moving vehicle, however, causes auxiliary contacts to close and bring the " slow-moving vehicle " timer into action to extend the " all red " period. If the slow-moving vehicle crosses the treadle as the maximum period expires, or is not followed by another vehicle, then the right of way will leave that approach before the vehicle reaches the signals.
