Abstract: Ammonia and oxygen are reacted in the presence of carbon dioxide to form nitric oxide which is subsequently oxidised to nitrogen peroxide. The nitrogen peroxide is then absorbed in water to form nitric acid. The presence of carbon dioxide very substantially reduces the flowrates through the reactor and absorber for a given nitric acid production. Recycle of a substantial portion of the tail gas from the absorber conserves carbon dioxide and minimises atmospheric pollution.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for positron extinction analysis which radiates a positron beam to a sample to be analyzed through a convergent lens system consisting of a magnetic lens and measures the extinction γ-rays generated from the sample for the positron extinction analysis. The invention utilizes the property of the magnetic lens of an electron microscope that the magnetic lens has the same focal distance for both the positron and the electron that have mutually the same energy. If the magnetic lens of the electron microscope is used as a convergent lens system for a positron beam, the positron beam can be radiated highly accurately to a very small, local position of the sample which is being observed through the electron microscope. For instance, in the case of a transmission electron microscope, the convergent lens system of the position beam is used as the convergent lens system of the positron beam.

Abstract: @ When one of general registers has a register number indicated by a renewal instruction and should be renewed to a result of execution by an arithmetic unit of an execution time measured in terms of machine cycles forthe renewal instruction, a register (91) holds the register number as a held number. From a machine cycle number representative of the execution time, a counter (95) is counted down in each machine cycle to successively provide decreasing numbers. Coincidence circuits (97, 98) find coincidence between the held number and two register numbers indicated by a current instruction which is preceded by the renewal instruction and for which two operands should be read from the general registers of the two register numbers. When the coincidence is found, execution of the current instruction is suspended. Otherwise, the operands are read. The suspension is released when the counter is counted down to zero.

Abstract: A method for alignment of optical fiber connector halves, including the steps of securing a connector lens in a lens holder having a planar end face, forming a reference plane parallel to or coplanar with the planar face of the lens holder, and then positioning an optical fiber such that, if the reference plane is reflective, light launched into the lens from the fiber will be maximally reflected back into the fiber. In one disclosed embodiment of the invention, the lens holder planar surface and an end surface of the lens are ground and polished together to form a common reference plane. Three alternative approaches are disclosed for detecting light reflected back into the fiber. The first approach detects light in the fiber core by means of a beam-splitting mirror. The second approach relies on the detection of light in the fiber cladding material, which is minimized when the fiber is properly aligned with the lens. The third approach relies on a charge in the laser spectral and noise output when the fiber is properly aligned with the lens.

Abstract: Operation of similar electronic article surveillance (EAS) systems (12 & 14) in proximity to each other may result in false alarms or system "shut-downs" as a result of signals transmitted from one system being detected in the receiver circuits of the other systems. This may especially occur with EAS systems in which the receivers are only activated during quiescent intervals between transmitted bursts, such that if the systems are unsynchronized, the transmitted bursts of the one system may occur during the quiescent intervals of the other system. In the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, synchronization is effected by circuits (18, 18′) which respond to RF noise detected during the quiescent intervals and time control circuits (20,20′) which respond to the detected noise and prevent the transmitted bursts from occurring during the quiescent intervals of the other system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for positioning magnetic heads relative to the recording tracks of a recording medium such as a floppy disk having circular, concentric recording tracks formed thereon. The magnetic heads are mounted on a head carriage, and the head carriage is moved, in response to received command pulses, so that the heads are moved linearly, by step increments, along a radius of the floppy disk. The heads are thereby moved across the spaced tracks on the disk, with each incremental movement of the heads being a distance less than the distance between the tracks, and being, for example, one- half or one-fourth of the total distance between tracks. Acoustic noise due to head movement is minimized by moving the heads by increments less than the distance between the tracks, with such movement avoiding exciting the resonances of the head moving apparatus.  The magnetic heads are initially moved at a rate known to avoid exciting the resonance and, during such initial movement, the rate of received command pulses is determined. If the received command pulse rate is within a predetermined range, and is a rate that will not excite resonance, continued movement of the head is at the rate of the received command pulses.
