Title: Manufacture of mercury compounds of the urethane series
IPC: C07F3/10
Filed: 1934-11-09
Abstract: Organo-mercury compounds are prepared by treating an aliphatic urethane containing at least one allyl group with a mercury salt of an organic or inorganic acid in the presence of water or an alcohol. The allyl group may be linked to nitrogen or oxygen, whilst the mercury salt may be normal or basic or may be replaced by one molecular proportion of mercuric oxide and one equivalent proportion of an acid or by half a molecular proportion of both mercuric oxide and a normal mercuric salt.  The urethane-mercury compounds may be reacted with a disubstituted xanthine whereby the xanthine residue goes into the molecule; the same products result when the aliphatic urethane containing an allyl group is treated in the presence of water or an alcohol with a mercury compound of a disubstituted xanthine or with a mixture of mercuric oxide and the xanthine in equimolecular proportions.  The products possess therapeutic properties.  According to the examples: (1) N-allyl-ethylurethane is heated with mercuric acetate in aqueous solution to form <FORM:0447405/IV/1> when methyl alcohol is used as the solvent, the corresponding methyl ether is produced; (2) N - allyl - ethylurethane is heated with mercuric oxide and aqueous acetic acid, yielding a product of the formula above; (3) a compound C6H12O3N--Hg--C7H7O2N4 i obtained by heating N-allyl-ethylurethane with mercuric oxide and theophylline in presence of water, or with mercuric theophylline in aqueous solution; the same product results when the mercury-urethane compound of (2) is treated with theophylline in aqueous solution; the theobromine compound is obtained in an analogous manner; (4) N - allyl - n - propylurethane is heated with mercuric oxide, mercuric acetate and water, and the product treated with theophylline in aqueous solution; (5) N-allyl-isopropylurethane mercuri-acetate is prepared by heating N-allyl-isopropylurethane, mercuric acetate and mercuric oxide in water; the theophylline compound is described.  The following products may be similarly prepared: N-allyl-methylurethane-mercuritartrate; O-allyl-urethane-mercuritartrate; N-allyl-ethylurethane-mercuri-benzoate, -nicotinate, -tartrate, -nitrate and -propionate; N : N - diallyl - ethylurethane-mercuri - acetate; N - allyl - n - butylurethane - mercuri - acetate; and N-allyl-isoamylurethane-mercuri-acetate.  Urethanes.--N - Allyl - isopropylurethane is prepared by interaction of allylamine and chloroformic acid isopropyl ester; N-allyl-n-butyl- and isoamyl-urethanes are similarly obtained using the n-butyl and isoamyl esters of chloroformic acid; N : N - diallyl - ethyl-urethane is formed from diallylamine and chloroformic acid ethyl ester.

Title: Tape Recording System
Inventor: SUMMERS JACK PHILIP
IPC: G11B15/02
Filed: 1966-07-19
Abstract: 1,150,364. Recording and playback. G. & E. BRADLEY Ltd. 19 July, 1966, No. 32332/66. Heading G5R. Tape recording arrangement incorporating two tape recorders 11, 13 each having a tape indicator is provided with a remote control system which incorporates a manual control switch 24-26 for controlling recording, an arrangement of relay operated switches for controlling which recorder is used at any given time and manual switches 29, 29<SP>1</SP> for determining which recorder is used first. The switch arrangement is controlled in accordance with the indication provided by the operative tape indicator to switch over when the tape in use is almost exhausted. If recorder 11 is to be used first, switch 29 is momentarily closed to energize relay A and close contacts A1 in the record circuit of recorder 11. This applies an intermittent earth to terminal 22 to energize relays E and J. This closes contact J2 to provide a permanent earth and opens J1 in the circuit of recorder 13. The contacts E1, E2 are set to enable control of recording by recorder 11 in accordance with the switches 24-26 to take place, by operating relay A or B, controlling power and signal channels. When the tape in 11 is almost exhausted, this is detected by comparator L to operate relay G momentarily. This closes G1 in the start circuit of recorder 13 and opens G2 in the energizing circuit of E and F. The operation then proceeds using recorder 13. When the tape in that recorder is nearly exhausted, relay H operates to switch back to 11, which should by then have had its tape changed.

Abstract: 806,219. Centrifugal compressors. MASCHINENFABRIK OERLIKON. Oct. 25, 1956 [Oct. 29, 1955], No. 32609/56. Class 110 (1). In a multi-stage radial-flow compressor, an intermediate outlet is provided before at least one end stage for use during partial pressure operation, the end stage or stages then conveying only sufficient medium to keep them cool, and surging in these stages being prevented by narrowing the inlet to each impeller by means of a slide valve. During normal operation, the four stages 2 are connected in series with the two end stages 3 by way of a valve 14 and a conduit 15 to deliver through an outlet 9 and a valve 21 to a delivery line 10. During partial pressure operation, valves 14 and 21 are closed and the four stages 4 deliver through an intermediate outlet 13, conduit 11 and a valve 12 to the delivery line 10. Valves 18 and 19 are opened so that the end stages 3 are cooled by a small amount of air at atmospheric or lower pressure drawn in through conduit 16 and discharged through conduit 17. Alternatively, valves 14 and 21 may be opened just sufficiently to allow enough air to enter the end stages 3 from the conduit 15 to cool them. In either case, surging in the end stages 3 is prevented by cylindrical slide valves 22, which are moved axially to throttle the impeller inlet of each end stage 3. The valves may be operated automatically or manually. Valve 12 may be a non-return valve.
