Abstract: A process for the manufacture of 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diacylate comprising reacting ketoisophorone with an acylating agent in the presence of a NH- or CH-acidic catalyst, particularly certain bis(perfluorinated hydrocarbyl sulphonyl) imides and metal salts thereof and, respectively, certain tris(perfluoroalkanesulphonyl or pentafluorobenzenesulphonyl) methanes and metal salts thereof. The acylating agent is particularly an acid anhydride, an acyl halide or an enol ester. The so-obtained 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone diacylate can be converted into (all-rac)-alpha-tocopherol by transesterification to yield 2,3,5-trimethylhydroquinone and reaction of the latter with isophytol. (all-rac)-alpha-Tocopherol itself is the most active member of the vitamin E group.

Abstract: A method of suppressing shrapnel ejection inherent with fragmentary and shrapnel munition destruction. The present invention utilizes a method of imploding an initiating explosive onto the munition device whereby the munition device is exploded. The method has the counterbalancing effect between the explosion and the implosion, thus controlling and drastically decreasing the quantity, velocity, and kinetic energy of the resultant shrapnel ejection. An alternate embodiment of the present invention utilizes a combination of a cylindrical container with the wrapped munition device. The munition device to be destroyed is wrapped with flexible explosive material and placed into the cylindrical container and the resultant void space between the container walls and the munition is filled with pourable or fluid explosive material. Upon detonation of the flexible explosive material and fluid explosive material, an implosion and simultaneous chain reaction occurs whereby detonating the munition device itself. The resultant implosion substantially destroys the munition device and negates the need for any further manual dismantling.

Abstract: The invention provides such a knocking control apparatus or method as is
capable of suitably inhibiting an erroneous determination on the occurrence of
knocking from being made due to high-intensity engine oscillation even in the case
where such oscillation has occurred as a result of swinging movements of a piston.
This apparatus detects an intensity of engine oscillation during a preset knock
determination period, and determines, on the basis of a comparison between the
intensity of the oscillation and a knock determination level, whether or not knocking
has occurred. If the internal combustion engine assumes a specific operational state
in which engine oscillation resulting from swinging movements of the piston exhibits
high intensity, a determination end timing is set at a timing advanced with respect to a
determination end timing that is set when the internal combustion engine assumes
another operational state.

Abstract: A unified process which couples a unique in situ catalyst regeneration process with a continuous reactive distillation under pressure for the alkylation of light aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene with C<SUB>2</SUB>-C<SUB>30 </SUB>olefins using a solid acid alkylation catalyst supported in the reflux zone of a distillation column. Periodic regeneration of the catalyst is carried out with a countercurrent injection of a C<SUB>4</SUB>-C<SUB>16 </SUB>paraffin below the benzene rectification zone at the top of the column, but above the catalyst zone while the aromatic hydrocarbon reaction feedstock is injected continuously at a point above a rectification zone at the base of the column where the aromatic compound is separated from the paraffin and by-products washed from the catalyst. The use of the C<SUB>4</SUB>-C<SUB>16 </SUB>paraffin with the aromatic at a mole fraction in the range of 40 to 90% enables a regeneration temperature of about 175-250° C. to be achieved and maintained by adjusting the column pressure and aromatic reflux rate. Significantly lower pressures, on the order of 125 to 370 psig, are required to achieve regeneration temperature than would be otherwise required with the use only of the aromatic hydrocarbon to dilute and wash the by-products from the catalyst surfaces.
