Filed: 1935-04-03
Abstract: 436,353. Flaking cereal, potato, &c. products. MASON, W. C., and HUTCHESON, W. W., 9, George Street, Manchester Square, London. April 3, 1935, No. 10375. [Class 58] [See also Group XIII] A process for drying cereals, also applicable for drying potatoes and like vegetables, consists in softening them in a digester under the action of steam under pressure, mashing them in a combined mixer and pulper, and passing the mash through a steam-heated roller drier, the exhaust steam of a primary power unit being utilized as the heating medium of the digester and the roller drier, and the primary power unit driving the generator which supplies electric current to the power units employed in carrying out the process. In the construction shown, potatoes mixed at b and washed by a rotary washer c are raised by an elevator d into bins e, from which they are fed by way of a conveyer f to a digester g. Steam under pressure in the digester softens the potatoes which are transferred by means of a conveyer h to a combined mixing and pulping apparatus k. This apparatus reduces the potatoes to a mash which is fed between oppositely-rotating drums m of a steam-heated drier. The dried potato flakes are scraped off by knives n and fall into a trough o from which they are drawn by suction to a cyclone separator r, being finally discharged into bags s. The primary power unit is a steam engine u which drives a generator v supplying electric current to power units employed in the process. The exhaust steam forms the heating medium of the digester and the drier.

Inventor: ROBERTS THOMAS
IPC: B67C3/28
Filed: 1917-07-20
Abstract: 117,497. Roberts, T. July 20, 1917. Bottling; filling jars, cans, and like receptacles. -In electrically operated or controlled devices for filling bottles, jars, cans, &c., with liquid or semi-liquid substances, the valve spindle is moved to open the supply valve by means of a hand or foot lever, this movement completing an electric circuit which retains the valve in its open position until the receptacle has received its supply of liquid, when the movement of the scale pan breaks the circuit and the valve is closed, as described in Specification 1538/06. As shown in Fig. 1, the spindle a<3> of the supply valve in the filling-head a forms the core of a solenoid c, and the circuit is completed when a contact h is lowered to engage another contact h<1> by means of a pivoted hand-lever m. A counterweighted lever g carries the contact h and is operated by a rod e<5> from a cross-piece e, which is mounted on the valve spindle a' and raised against the action of springs e<3> by the lever m. In a modification, Fig. 3, the contact-pieces h, h<1> are held apart by a spring-pressed lever g which is operated by an adjustable screw e' carried by a cross-piece e<6> on the rod e<5>. By turning the piece e<6> into the position shown in Fig. 4 and removing the spring n from the lever g, the machine is converted into an automatic machine, the replacing of a full receptacle on the scale pan by an empty one automatically completing the circuit as described in the above-mentioned Specification, to raise the valve spindle and open the valve. The lamp k' is replaced by a plug or contact-piece o when the machine is adjusted to work automatically. A foot-lever may be used instead of the hand-lever m, and electromagnets instead of solenoids. Specification 105,799 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Title: Multi-waveband line trap for carrier systems operating on high voltage transmission lines
IPC: H04B3/56
Filed: 1958-04-02
Abstract: 873,250. Rejection circuits. TESLA, NARODNI PODNIK. April 2, 1958 [April 16, 1957], No. 10566/58. Class 40(8) A multi-waveband line trap for carrier communication systems operating on high-voltage power transmission lines comprises two trap circuits connected in series having a common inductance coil divided by a tapping into two parts, the mutual inductance and capacitance between the parts of the coil being compensated out. In the embodiment shown the trap is designed as a correctly-terminated four-terminal band-pass filter and is connected in the line as a two-terminal network. It can be shown that the mutual inductance between the two parts L 1 , L 2  of the main coil may be represented by a negative inductance - M connected to their junction. Thus an inductance M connected as shown compensates this mutual inductance. The ratio L 1 , L 2  is selected to provide rejection bands of desired width and attenuation further elements being added to provide two band-pass filters with their inputs in series and correctly terminated by resistances R 1 , R 2 . The network shown has two attenuation bands, but may have three bands if either R 1  or R 2  is adjusted to provide a mismatch. If both R 1  and R 2  differ from their correct values, a four-waveband trap is obtained. In a second embodiment (Fig. 6, not shown), the inductances are tuned to parallel resonance by capacitors and the two resonant circuits are damped by series or parallel resistances. In a further embodiment, one part of the trap consists of a filter (as in Fig. 5) and the other of a parallel resonant circuit. The capacitance between the parts L 1  and L 2  of the coil is compensated by a capacitance K in parallel with the inductance M. The method of calculating the capacitance is given in the Specification.
