Title: Improvements in or relating to methods and apparatus for down-drawing a sheet of glass
IPC: C03B17/06
Filed: 1962-01-08
Abstract: 937,697. Drawing sheet glass. GLAVERBEL. Jan. 8, 1962 [Jan. 21, 1961], No. 733/62. Class 56. In the downward drawing of a sheet of glass from a bulb of viscous glass hung on the bottom of a horizontal member of material to which the glass sticks and extending over the whole length of a slot through which molten glass flows continuously, the member is in the form of at least one rotating roller, rotated at such speed that some of the viscous glass forming the bulb is moved upwardly therewith to engage fresh glass issuing from the slot. Molten glass 2 in a furnace 3 is fed downwardly through a slot 4 covered with electrically heated foils 5 of platinum or like material, the width of the slot being adjustable by horizontal movement of the refractory block 27. As shown in Fig. 3 and in Figs. 1 and 6 (not shown), the glass impinges on a single refractory roller 6 rotated at an adjustable speed in the direction of arrow Y to take up part of the glass adhering thereto from the bulb 7 from which a sheet 8 is drawn by rollers 28 the edges being maintained by knurled wheels 32 and the sheet cooled by coolers 31 in the usual way. The roller 6 is adjustable horizontally so as to lie under the centre of slot 4. The thickness of the sheet 8 is varied by varying the speed of rotation and by making the roller vertically adjustable to vary the distance from the slot 4. The roller 6 is also continuously reciprocated parallel to its axis in order to assist in evening out the thickness of the glass layer on the roller and therefore of the sheet 8. In Fig. 3, the thickness of the glass layer is further limited by carbon members 35, 36 secured to the furnace and block 27, an atmosphere of nitrogen being maintained through duet 37 to prevent oxidation. The glass does not stick to the carbon. In Fig. 4, not shown, a pair of rollers 6<SP>1</SP>, 6<SP>11</SP>, as in Fig. 7, arranged so that the distance between them is less than the width of the slot 4, rotate in opposite directions Y<SP>1</SP>, Y<SP>11</SP> to draw up glass from bulb 7 between them. In Fig. 5, not shown, the pair of rollers 6<SP>1</SP>, 6<SP>11</SP> have limiting carbon members 35, 36. As shown in Fig. 7, in addition to the members 35, 36, a pair of carbon rollers 38<SP>1</SP>, 38<SP>11</SP> are provided to even out the sheet 8, the rollers rotating as at R<SP>1</SP>, R<SP>11</SP> against the flow of the glass. In Fig. 6, not shown, a single roller 6, carbon members 35, 36 and rollers 38<SP>1</SP>, 38<SP>11</SP> are used.

Title: Compositions comprising carbohydrates and acid reacting substances for incorporation with milk
IPC: A23C9/156
Filed: 1929-04-24
Abstract: 332,597. Kilgour, G. B., (Faulding & Co., Ltd., F. H.). April 24, 1929. Divided on 332,595. Sugar preparations.-Powders or granules prepared by absorbing lactic acid in dextrose or other solid carbohydrates are used for rendering milk more digestible and increasing its carbohydrate content, the powders or granules dissolving gradually on admixture with the milk and allowing the lactic acid to be only gradually liberated, thus slowing down its action on the milk proteins and causing very fine and digestible curds to be formed. In a modification, the powders or granules are added to milk powders, or the lactic acid is first added to the milk powder and the requisite amount of carbohydrate, such as dextrose powder, then mixed in, the products being regenerated when required by addition of the necessary amount of water, the lactic acid being gradually liberated and a fine curd obtained as before. The correct proportions of acid and carbohydrate are determined experimentally. The lactic acid may be added to the dextrose gradually and with thorough mixing so that the mixture, still remains in powder or granular form, the product being, if necessary, dried at low temperature or under vacuum. For treating a pint of whole milk which has been boiled and cooled, 12 grams of a powder containing two parts by weight of lactic acid to 6-8 parts by weight of dextrose is suitable. For mixing with 3¢ ozs. of milk powder to give a product to be treated with a pint of water in the cold, 12 grams of a powder containing one part by weight of lactic acid to 6-8 parts of dextrose is suitable.

IPC: B01D71/50
Filed: 1992-10-22
Abstract: The invention is a membrane comprising a dense skin of a polyestercarbonate, wherein the diphenolic residue in the backbone of the polyestercarbonate is a tetrabromo diphenolic residue, wherein the membrane has a separation factor for oxygen and nitrogen of 6.5 or greater at 24 DEG C. In another aspect, the invention is a method of separating oxygen from a mixture of gases comprising nitrogen and oxygen, wherein the method comprises (a) contacting the gas mixture with one side of a thin, non-porous membrane comprising a polyestercarbonate described hereinbefore while maintaining a pressure difference across the membrane with the lower pressure being on the other side of the membrane; and (b) removing the permeated oxygen from the other side of the membrane, wherein separation factor for the oxygen and nitrogen is 6.5 or greater at 24 DEG C. The membranes of this invention demonstrate surprisingly high separation factors for oxygen and nitrogen separations. The membranes of this invention have good mechanical properties and therefore are useful under more extreme conditions, for example temperature and pressure, than many commercially used membranes.
