Titanium Scrap for Use in
Inqot Production Given Patent
WashingtoiMScience Serv-ice)-A
method of recovering
scrap titanium and using it
to make electrodes for titani
um ingot production has won
a U.S. patent for two Ohioans
Titanium is a heat-resistant
metal used in "skins," lead
irtg edges and engine parts of
upersomc aircraft. But titan
ium's characteristics and in
got production methods do
not permit use of scrap pieces
in the same way that other
metal scrap is recovered.
William Howell of Warren,
Ohio, and Richard M. Scriver
of North Jackson, Ohio, have
invented a method of produc
ing titanium ingots by using
titanium scraps of any size,
ehape or characteristic to
form consumable titanium
electrodes. The electrodes are
formed by packing the scrap
into elongated containers of
titanium sheet material, held
in place by radially disposed
wedges driven through the
sides of the container and
into the mass of scrap.
. The inventors received pat
ent No. 2,867,895, one of 1,319
patents granted by the U. S.
patent office here last week.
They assigned their patent to
Mallory-Sharon Metals Corp.
Jt Can Tak Off Vertically
A jet - propelled airplane
capable of vertical take-off
has earned a patent for Her
bert Eugene Chaplin of Hayes,
England.
His plana has an undercar
riage mechanism that will sup
port it in either a horizontal
or vertical position. The
mechanism, which is com
prised mainly of skids, is power-driven
so that it may be
adjusted from one position to
the other while supporting
the craft
The plane also features a
pilot's seat adjustable through
a 90-degree angle, so that the
pilot may sit upright regard
less of the position of the
plane. Another feature is a
propulsive unit capable of
giving a static thrust exceed
ing the weight of the aircraft,
so that it may climb rapidly.
Chaplin was granted patent
No. 2,868,477, which he as
signed to The Fairey Aviation
Company Limited, also of
Hayes.
Electrodes to Germanium
A new method of soldering
electrodes to semi-conducting
crystal elements, such as ger
manium, said to offer great
improvement In forward con
ductivity, has won another
patent.
It involves soldering in an
inert atmosphere without the
use of a flux or intermediate
metal layer.
In previous methods using
fluxes or intermediate layers
it was necessary to remove
impurities introduced by the
flux or correct the electrical
characteristics of the crystal
often altered by the metal
layer.
In the new method,' solder
is melted in an inert atmos
phere to prevent oxidation of
the solder. The semi-condue
tor is floated on the molten
solder and then removed, with
a thin layer of solder adher
ing to it. Next, the electrode
is mounted on this thin layer,
which is melted to bond the
electrode to it.
Aliens Reminded to
Report Addresses
'. Portland-The U. S. immi
gration and naturalization
service has again reminded
all aliens in the state of Ore
gon that only six days remain
in which non-citizens may file
their annual address report,
as required by law.
James L. Turner, district
director, pointed out that ad
dress report forms are avail
able at the nearest immigra
tion service office or post of
fice for the convenience of
non-citizens required' to report
their address to the govern

Compacts Fine Powders
Three men from Michigan
have invented an apparatus
for compacting into pellets
finely divided solids, such as
the various forms of synthetic
silicas and carbon black used
in industry as flatting agents
in paints.
The device produces dust
free pellets by two basic steps,
a compassion step and a
tumbling step. The former in
volves a deaeration of the
material followed by compac
tion to a density of at least
four pounds per cubic foot.
The latter step involves tum
bling the compressed solid
until substantially dust-free
pellets are formed.
The invention, which re
ceived patent No. 2,867,843,
was assigned to Dow Corning
Corp., Midland, Mich., by Har
old L. Browne and Owen C.
Cookingham of Midland, and
Donn W. Pendleton of Beav-
erton, Mich.
Includes Snow Scraper
An all-weather combination
brush and snow remover has
earned a patent for Emanuel
Gantz of Harrison, N. Y.
The implement has a base
containing both stiff brush
bristles and a curved metal
scraper. These are placed in
such a way that each may be
used separately depending on
which side of the base is
turned downward. The com
bination is designed so that
both the brush and scraper
force the brushed or scraped
material forward and away
from the bristles.
The invention received pat
ent No. 2,867,827 which was
assigned to Empire Brushes,
Inc., Port Chester, N. Y.
Hospitals Marshall Defenses To Contend With Infections
New YorK-Within the past
two years hospital staffs have
been marshalling their de
fenses to contend with a sharp
rise in infections. They mani

of ills, ranging from abscesses
and rashes to fatal blood poi

Mudd, president of the Inter
national Association of Micro
biological Sacieties. The prin
cipal offender is a ubiquitous
parasite called "staphylocco

Hartford, Conn. -(LTD- After
two years of helping settle

By bad luck the strains which
have developed resistance to
the antibiotics and related
drugs happen to carry the
most harmful traits of their
genus. The foci of prevalence
are the hospitals, where anti
biotics have been employed
extensively in recent years
not only for treatment of di
agnosed infection but also as
a general prevention - often
with neglect of the standard
routines of asepsis and anti
sepsis. The consequent inva

Common Hazard
The article added:
"Of course infection was
the common hazard of hospi

the centuries before the intro

infectants in the last decades
of the 19th century. The
staphylococcus, together with
the pneumoccocci and strep

knowledge from which tech

this situation? The hospitals
are hard-pressed on many
fronts. Diagnosis and treat

Nurses, and in many hospi

Our present ignorance in this

the outcome of the extraord
