Patent GB-1114896-A (GB)
Title: Epoxidation process
Inventor: KOLLAR JOHN
IPC: C07D301/19
Filed: 1965-06-02
Abstract: Epoxy compounds are prepared by contacting an olefinically unsaturated compound in an epoxidation zone with an organic hydroperoxide in the liquid phase in the presence of a catalytic amount of an epoxidation catalyst, said contacting being carried out in such a manner that at all times during said contacting the ratio of olefinically unsaturated compound to organic hydroperoxide in said zone is greater than the ratio of the total amounts of unsaturated compound and organic hydroperoxide introduced into said zone.  This means, in effect, that an excess of unsaturated compound with respect to hydroperoxide must be used and that the addition of hydroperoxide must be so controlled that some of the hydroperoxide reacts before the addition is completed.
Patent GB-708753-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in nylon plisse and process of making the same
IPC: D06M13/21
Filed: 1951-10-10
Abstract: Three-dimensional undulating patterns on fabrics containing nylon yarns are produced by treating selected areas of the fabric with an aqueous solution containing not less than 30 per cent. by weight of a halogen-substituted aliphatic monocarboxylic acid until the treated areas shrink and display undulations, and then removing excess acid as by washing, neutralisation or other means.  The acid solution may be applied directly, as by printing, to the selected areas, or alternatively a resist, e.g. the sodium salt of styrene-maleic acid mixed polymer, may first be printed on the fabric and the acid then applied as an all-over treatment. Specified acids are monochloro-, dichloro- and trichloro-acetic; bromoacetic; alpha- and beta-chloropropionic and alpha- and betabromopropionic acids.  To the acid solution starches, dextrines, gums, clay, talc, finely - divided minerals, dyestuffs and pigments may be added.  The acid treatment increases the affinity of the fabric for direct, acid, acetate, basic and vat dyestuffs.  Numerous Examples are given.ALSO:In the production of three-dimensional undulating patterns on fabric containing nylon yarns by treatment of selected areas of the fabric with an aqueous solution containing not less than 30 per cent by weight of a halogen-substituted aliphatic monocarboxylic acid (see Group IV(a)), the treatment also increases the affinity of the fibres for direct, acid, acetate, basic and vat dyestuffs.  Specified acids are monochloro-, dichloro-, and trichloroacetic; bromoacetic; alpha- and beta-chloro- and -bromo-propionic acids.  Dyestuffs may be added to the acid solution or may be subsequently applied.  In addition, dyestuffs may be locally applied prior to the local application of the acid.  Thus in example 22, the fabric is dyed with a dischargeable dye and then printed in turn with (a) a paste containing sodium sulphoxylate formaldehyde solution as a colour discharging agent, together with a resist, viz.: the sodium salt of polymerized styrenemaleic acid, for the acid; (b) a paste containing the colour discharging agent and resist of (a) together with a mixture of vat dyes; and (c) a paste containing the colour discharging agent and resist of (a) together with a further vat dye, the printed fabric being subsequently printed with a thickened solution of monochloroacetic acid.

Abstract: 1343985 Cable harness assembly apparatus PANDUIT CORP 19 April 1971 [19 March 1970] 23712/71 Heading H2C [Also in Division E2] A holder for retaining objects comprises a frame and a pair of relatively movable arms 21 on the frame, which terminate in opposed spaced ends 23. The arms move to vary the space 23a between the ends 23 from a position in which the objects are retained (Fig. 4), to a position in which the objects may be inserted (Fig. 3) or removed (Fig. 6, not shown). An elastic band 25 spans the space 23a and receives and holds the objects when they are inserted. As shown a holder suitable for holding a bundle of wires B on a jig while a harness is being fabricated comprises upstanding walls on the frame having U-shaped cut-outs defining legs 18 upon which cranks are pivotally mounted by pins 19 which enter elongated slots 24 formed in the legs. The cranks comprise retainer arms 21 and depending arms 22, the retainer arms having slots 32 formed near their ends 23. Elastic band 25 is connected to studs 27 and passes round pins 28 on the arms 22, and pins 30 and 31 on the frame, before passing through slots 32 and spanning the space 23a. The elastic band is tensioned so as to position the arms 21 in their retaining position. The bundle of wires B is inserted by pushing down on the retaining arms (Fig. 3) and may be removed by pulling up the retaining arms (Fig. 6, not shown). In similar embodiments lock pins (126) (Fig. 9, not shown), stop pins (208) (Fig. 14, not shown) or a flexible stop (155) (Fig. 11, not shown) are employed to prevent accidental removal of the objects by restricting rotation of the arms. Further embodiments include a holder in which one retainer arm is fixed to the frame (Fig. 8, not shown); a holder in which the retainer arms are formed as resilient bowed arms of a U-shaped yoke (Fig. 16, not shown): and a holder in which the retainer arms are formed as resilient arcuate arms and have blocks of resilient material, e.g. sponge rubber adhering to their undersides (Fig. 22, not shown).

Title: Heat stabilized vinylidene fluoride polymers
IPC: C08K5/42
Filed: 1961-06-30
Abstract: Solid polymers of vinylidene fluoride containing residual amounts of a surfactant RfSO3M, where Rf is a saturated C4- 12 aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical and M is a cation, are stabilized against high temperature degradation by treatment in an aqueous medium with one or more water-soluble compounds of barium or strontium so as to incorporate at least 0.006% wt. of the compound(s) in the polymer. Specified compounds are barium and strontium acetates, chlorides, hydroxides and nitrates and barium bromide, formate and pyrophosphate. The polymers to which the invention is applicable are characterized by their "plasticity number" which is defined in the Specification and is inversely related to the molecular weight. Treatment may be effected by washing the polymer or a coagulate thereof from a latex with a solution of the compound or by adding the compound to an aqueous latex of the polymer. In comparative examples and descriptions the effectiveness of the specified compounds is contrasted with that of the corresponding calcium sodium, ammonium, zinc and cadmium compounds and the following conventional stabilizers for other halo-olefine polymers; urea and alkyl ureas, a commercial organo-tin stabilizer, lead acetate, metal oxides, metal salts of long-chain organic acids and dialkyldithio-carbamic acids, and amine and phenol anti-oxidants.

The hydroxylamine intermediates of formula H2NOQ-NR1R2 where Q is a lower alkylene radical may be prepared by treating acetone-oxime with an aminoalkyl halide in the presence of a base and treating the amino-alkyl-oximino derivative of formula (CH3)2C=NO-Q-NR1R2 with dilute acid to regenerate acetone and the desired product.  The benzoyl-pyridine compounds may be prepared by reacting a benzonitrile with a pyridyl-lithium compound which is made by treating a bromo-pyridine with lithium, or by reacting a pyridyl-lithium with benzaldehyde and oxidizing the carbinol formed with potassium permanganate. Thereapeutic compositions having anti-androgenic activity contain as active ingredient a compound of Formula A above.
