Abstract:
A device for use with a Jacquard machine is disclosed which may eliminate the pattern cards, may be made compact in size, may find a wide application, and may considerably increase the weaving speed. In opposed relation with a plurality of needles is disposed a selection mechanism in which a plurality of solenoids equal in number to the needles are disposed in opposed relation with a plurality of armature members equal in number to the needles and interconnected therewith through wires. A control unit is adapted to selectively energize the solenoids depending upon the desired fabric patterns while the armature members are moved toward and made into contact with the solenoids in synchronism with the weaving operation of the power loom so that the selectively energized solenoids attract the armature members to hold their corresponding needles in position while the remaining needles corresponding to the de-energized solenoids are returned to their initial positions. The hooks corresponding to the needles returned to the initial positions are made into engagement with their corresponding knives in a knife box so that when the knife box is lifted, they are also lifted to lift the desired warp yarns, thereby forming a desired shed.
Abstract:
As non-ionic surface active agents are generally low in toxicity they are commonly used as additives in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foodstuffs, etc. However, non-ionic surface active agents which exhibit antimicrobial action or rust-inhibiting property have not hitherto been known. The present invention uses hydroxy-fatty acid amide polyoxyalkylene ether, as the active ingredients. As this substance is superior in antimicrobial action and rust-inhibiting property, the surface active agents manufactured according to the present invention exhibit not only the superior properties inherent in the conventional surface active agents, e.g., emulsifying and dispersing power, but also superior rust-inhibiting property and antimicrobial action. Further, if metal soap is added to the surface active agents, the aforementioned properties become more conspicuous.
Abstract:
In the manufacture of carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof by chemical addition, in strong acids, of carbon monoxide to corresponding raw materials such as olefins, alcohols, branched saturated compounds and other hydrocarbons, ions of metals belonging to group IB of the Periodic Table are caused to exist in said strong acids to induce formation of metal carbonyls and the raw materials are allowed to react with carbon monoxide which is the constituent part of the formed metal carbonyls. As the carbon monoxide in strong acids is consumed by the reaction of the raw materials, metal ions are bonded with carbon monoxide from the gaseous phase to form metal carbonyls again. Thus, a large quantity of carbon monoxide always remains dissolved in strong acids to permit the reaction to proceed under mild conditions, enabling the desired products to be selectively obtained in high yields.
Abstract:
A polymer capable of self-curing or cross-linking at room temperature is produced by free radical polymerization in a nonprotonic solvent of: A. i. a combination of (a) at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound having an epoxy group and (b) at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound having a tertiary amino group selected from the group consisting of an N,Ndisubstituted amino group, a pyridyl group, a quinolyl group and an isoquinolyl group or II. AT LEAST ONE ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED COMPOUND HAVING ONE EPOXY GROUP AND ONE TERTIARY AMINO GROUP SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF AN N,N-disubstituted amino group, a pyridyl group, a quinolyl group and an isoquinolyl group, and optionally B. at least one free radical-copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound other than the ethylenically unsaturated compounds (i) and (ii) and which is free of active hydrogen atoms.
