Title: Improvements in Electric Regulating Rheostats.
Inventor: BOOTHMAN LAWRENCE
Filed: 1914-09-26
Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 20,239. Boothman, L. Sept. 26. Controllers with combinations of resistances.- In electric controllers of the kind comprising two distinct rheostats, one for varying the resistance in circuit by a series of comparatively large steps, and the other for cutting in and out resistance between successive steps of the main rheostat so as to permit of fine adjustment, the contacts 1 of the main rheostat and the contacts 2 of the subdividing rheostat are arranged in two concentric circles and the movable contacts or bridge-pieces of the rheostats are operatively connected through spur gears. The rheostat is operated by rotating the bridge-piece 20, Fig. 3, which moves over the contacts 2 of the subdividing rheostat, the resistance 4 of which is connected to the contacts and divided into halves, as shown. The total resistance 4 is equal to that of the portion of the main resistance 3 between successive main contacts 1. As the bridge-piece 20 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction, the resistance 4 is cut out step by step until the contacts 8, 13 are reached when all the resistance 4 is out of circuit. In moving in the same direction on to the next contacts, a two-armed lever 21 on the same shaft as the bridge-piece 20 engages one of the teeth 22 of a spur-wheel geared to a toothed wheel 2G carrying the main bridge-piece 30 and moves it to the next contact 1 so as to cut out a section of the main resistance. The bridge-piece 20 is then in a position in which all the resistance 4 is in circuit, and a further rotation through nearly a semicircle cuts out all the resistance 4 preparatory to cutting out a further section of the main resistance. Rotation in a clockwise direction cuts in resistance in the same manner.

Title: Improved Manufacture of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide.
Inventor: BROWNLEE ROY HUTCHISON
IPC: C01B32/50
Filed: 1915-04-01
Abstract: 5097. Brownlee, R. H., and Uhlinger, R. R. April 1. Nitrogen and carbonic acid are obtained by completely burning a mixture of combustion products, carbonaceous material, and the theoretical quantity of air, in presence of a catalyst such as broken brick, chequer brickwork, pottery, iron or copper oxide, or platinized or palladium asbestos, which is maintained at the required temperature by the reaction itself. The carbonaceous material may be natural gas, producer gas, coal gas, oil, or powdered coal. Suitable combustion products are exhaust gases from internal-combustion engines, or waste gases from coke-ovens, furnaces, or the like. The carburettor of an engine 16 may for this purpose be adjusted either for maximum engine efficiency or so as to produce explosive mixture containing a minimum excess of oxygen. Separation of the gases may be effected by liquifaction or solidification of the carbon dioxide, or by absorbing it by lime or alkaline carbonates. The carbon dioxide can be used in the Solvay process. Incompletelycombined gases produced initially, while the catalytic material 3 is cool, may be drawn off by a stack branching from a conduit 8 between the furnace 2 and chambers 9, 14, in which the normal products are cooled by spraying and scrubbing.

IPC: A23B4/00
Filed: 2014-02-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to the improvement in the existing process of curing and packaging of Green peppercorns in brine by the application of Hurdle Technology and vacuum packing. The invention enables the food processor to produce Green peppercorn in brine with softer texture and brighter colour with waxy layer intact. Further, the invented process enable the food processor to replace bulky and heavy packages used in the conventional process with lighter, less bulky and easy to handle packages. As there is no requirement of addition of surplus brine in the package in the invented process the buyers are not faced with the problem of disposing the surplus brine after using the berries for further use. The advantages of using the invented process are substantial reduction in the costs of packaging material and labour and transportation, besides the efforts required in the disposal of HDPE barrels and jerry cans. The invented process consists of pre-brining of fresh peppercorns followed by cooking under pressure for specified period of time. The pre-brined and cooked berries are then semi- cured by acidified brine for specified period of time. The semi-cured berries are cleaned of broken, black berries and pin heads, if any. The cleaned berries are finally cured by acidified brine solution for specified period of time. The fully cured berries are vacuum packed in nylon/vinyl alcohol pouches into blocks of JO kg weight.
