Abstract: Prodn. of acrolein (I) and/or acrylic acid (II) from C3H8 involves (A) gas phase partial dehydrogenation of C3H8 to C3H6, using heterogeneous catalyst; (B) using the prod. gas mixt. of C3H6 and unreacted C3H8 for charging an oxidn. reactor, in which C3H6 is converted to (I) and/or (II) by gas phase selective partial oxidn. with pure O2 using heterogeneous catalyst; and (C) separating the prod. from the prod. gas stream and recycling at least the unreacted C3H8 from stage (B) to stage (A). The novelty is that, before entering stage (B), constituents other than C3H8 and C3H6, at least H2 and steam, are removed from the prod. gas mixt. from stage (A). Pref. all constituents except C3H8 and C3H6 are removed after stage (A). Stage (B) is carried out in 2 consecutive reactors charged with multi-metal oxide catalysts, the first of Mo-Bi-Fe and the second of Mo-V. The prod. gas mixt. from the first oxidn. reactor is passed directly into the second; and the vol. ratio of organic cpd. for partial oxidn. (C3H6 or (II)) to O2 is 1:(1-3) in both reactors.

Abstract: The transverse tooth profile of a screw rotor which meshes with a companion screw rotor is defined by a tooth root circular arc, an outer circumferential circular arc, and two curves interconnecting the tooth root circular arc and the outer circumferential circular arc. One of the curves is defined by a trochoid curve generated by a point on an outer circumferential surface of the companion screw rotor. Alternatively, the curve may comprise two curve segments, and one of the two curve segments comprising a tooth tip arc which is defined as an arc having a radius of curvature equal to or smaller than the difference between a radius of curvature of the outer circumferential circular arc and a radius of a pitch circle of the tooth profile, and the other of the two curve segments comprising a curve connected to the tooth root circular arc and determined by a curve generated by the tooth tip arc of the companion screw rotor. The other curve is defined by determining a curve which defines an imaginary rack and thereafter producing a tooth profile curve generated by the imaginary rack.

Title: Computer system using genetic optimization techniques
Inventor: ARCI FRANCESCO DAVIDE LUIGI
IPC: G06N3/12
Filed: 1996-07-25
Abstract: A computer system comprises at least one genetic optimization agent holding a pool of genotypes, representing possible solutions to a problem. The genetic optimization agent generates new genotypes from the pool, evaluates the new genotypes according to predetermined fitness criteria, and selects the fittest of the genotypes to form a new generation of genotypes in the pool. The system also includes a number of further agents, for generating further solutions to the problem, using different techniques, such as simulated annealing, constraint logic, and neural networks. These further solutions are also represented by genotypes. The genetic optimization agent imports genotypes from the further agents and adds them to its pool of genotypes for breeding and selection. The genetic optimization agent thus provides a way of integrating a number of different problem-solving agents, in such a way as to achieve synergy between them.

IPC: H01L29/786
Filed: 1996-08-30
Abstract: Auxiliary lines are formed under pixel electrodes so as to be parallel to signal lines. The auxiliary lines are connected to the signal lines at one point for each pixel. This permits a voltage to be kept applying to a signal line even if a disconnection defect occurs in the signal line by making a circuit around a disconnected portion by the auxiliary line. Moreover, if a leakage defect occurs at a crossing point between the scanning line and the signal line, the signal line would be cut off on both sides of the scanning line. This also permits a voltage to be kept applying to the signal line by the auxiliary line. By setting the auxiliary lines narrower than the signal line, a reduction in aperture ratio can be suppressed, and by adopting the auxiliary lines made of a transparent electrically conductive material such as ITO, etc., it is possible to prevent the reduction in aperture ratio due to the auxiliary lines. The described arrangement permits a generation of a line-shaped defect due to disconnection to be prevented while improving an aperture ratio of the pixel with ease.

Abstract: A transport decoder 110, for receiving and processing a transport data stream using MPEG-2 formats, includes connections to a physical layer channel interface (channel interface) 112, a buffer memory 114, a host microprocessor 116, audio and video decoders 118/120, and clock signal circuitry 122. Upon receipt of a discontinuity indicator, the transport packet headers are parsed and transport packet payloads are stored in memory. Subsequently, upon receipt of a next program counter reference (PCR) value, a counter is loaded with the received program counter reference value. Next, the data stored in memory is searched for a time stamp and, when one is found, the time stamp is retrieved. Finally, a timer interrupt is set for a point in time approximately one frame time before the time stamp value, and, when the timer interrupt occurs, the program counter reference value is sent to the decoders, thereby providing sufficient time for the decoders to process data.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for supplying molten metal to a casting machine wherein the amount of molten metal supplied can be controlled precisely and defective castings caused by slag in the molten metal can be prevented. Material supply means (2) supplies a ladle (1) with a suitable amount of a casting material for one shot of casting in a solid state. After the solid casting material (14) is melted into molten metal, the molten metal is supplied from the ladle to the casting machine. By controlling the amount of molten metal supplied by means of the casting material in the solid state, the precision of quantity control of molten metal can be enhanced. In addition, because the molten metal is supplied from the ladle to the casting machine soon after the casting material is melted, the time for molten metal to be exposed to the air can be shortened, and slag generation due to molten metal oxidization can be suppressed.

Abstract: The present invention provides that an assembly can be fed into a pipeline or passageway to which a lining tube is to be applied. The lining is impregnated with curable synthetic resin, and surrounds an inflatable bladder, the bladder in turn surrounding a core pipe through which medium flowing in the pipeline or passageway can pass during the lining operation. The core pipe is of sufficiently rigid nature to withstand an inflation pressure to move the lining tube onto the pipeline or passageway surface by inflation of the bladder, but yet is sufficiently flexible and bendable so as to bend enabling it to follow curves and falls in the pipeline or passageway into which it is inserted. Specifically the tube should be sufficiently bendable to enable the assembly to be fed down a manhole and into the underground pipeline or passageway.

Abstract: A computer system for linearly encoding a pronunciation prefix tree.
The pronunciation prefix tree has nodes such that each non-root and non-leaf
node
represents a phoneme and wherein each leaf node represents a word formed by the
phonemes represented by the non-leaf nodes in a path from the root node to the leaf
node. Each leaf node has a probability associated with the word of the leaf node. The
computer system creates a tree node dictionary containing an indication of the
phonemes that compose each word. The computer system then orders the child nodes
of each non-leaf node based on the highest probability of descendent leaf nodes of the
child node. Then, for each non-leaf node, the computer system sets the probability of
the non-leaf node to a probability based on the probability of its child nodes, and for
each node, sets a factor of the node to the probability of the node divided by the
probability of the parent node of the node. Finally, the computer system generates an
encoded pronunciation entry for each leaf node of the pronunciation prefix tree. Each
encoded pronunciation entry indicates the word represented by the leaf node and
contains the factor of a nearest ancestor node with a factor other than 1.0.
