Abstract: The invention provides an economical and efficient process for preparing a dimeric cyclic ester of an α-hydroxycarboxylic acid by depolymerizing a corresponding α-hydroxycarboxylic acid oligomer, which comprises the steps of (1) heating a mixture containing the α-hydroxycarboxylic acid oligomer and at least one high-boiling polar organic solvent having a boiling point within a range of 230-450°C to a temperature, at which the depolymerization of the oligomer takes place, under atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure, (2) dissolving the oligomer in the solvent until a residual rate of a melt phase of the oligomer reaches 0.5 or lower, (3) further continuing the heating at the temperature, at which the depolymerization of the oligomer takes place, to depolymerize the oligomer, (4) distilling out the dimeric cyclic ester formed together with the high-boiling polar organic solvent, and (5) recovering the dimeric cyclic ester from the distillate. The invention also provides a process for purifying a crude dimeric cyclic ester of an α-hydroxycarboxylic acid.

Inventor: SIMON ROBERT J
IPC: B41J2/165
Filed: 1997-04-21
Abstract: Ink concentration changes in continuous ink jet printing systems have been minimized by reducing evaporation rates. This has the effect of also minimizing airflow through the catcher. The reduced catcher flow is not capable of completely removing air around the jets when the eyelid is closed, so this air becomes saturated with water vapor due to localized evaporation from ink drops. This, in turn, causes the air temperature to approach the ink temperature, which is greater than the eyelid seal temperature. The saturated air condenses on the eyelid and, over time, the condensate fills the volume and drips out of the eyelid, or causes shorts to the high voltage electrode. The formation of condensate on the eyelid is eliminated by providing a heater element formed into the eyelid.

Abstract: A method for magnetic resonance imaging of a density distribution of a first substance and a second substance in a part of a body which is arranged in a substantially uniform, steady magnetic field, said first substance having a J-coupling. In order to image the contribution to the MR spectrum by said first substance having the J-coupling separately from the contribution to the MR spectrum by the second substance, repetition of refocusing pulses is used for the generating of the spin echo signals, so that in the direction of a first dimension of a data matrix, in which the measured values are arranged, a phase modulation of 180° occurs in the successive values. Furthermore, the method according to the invention utilizes spatial encoding in which the maximum strength of a phase encoding gradient is equal to half the maximum strength of a corresponding phase encoding gradient used in a customary phase code, so that the field of vision is doubled in comparison with the customary field of vision. After Fourier transformation and integration of the MR spectrum, two separate images of the density distribution of the first substance and the second substance are thus obtained. Lactate is an example of a substance having a J-coupling. Fat is an example of a second substance.

Abstract: The method involves using a wide-sense stationary uncorrelated scattering or WSSUS model in which the channel pulse response is defined by one equation and the time varying frequency response generated by the Fourier transform of the first equation by a second equation. The pulse response can be viewed as an incoherent superimposition of N echoes, each characterized by a random phase, transition time and Doppler shift. The conventional Monte-Carlo model, in which the parameter set or elements of the parameter set are selected randomly and in a uniform distribution, deterministically or stochastically using uniformly distributed non-linear input variables, is modified with a frequency modulated raster generated by a deterministic or random (stochastic) input raster formed by the non-linear input variables. Independent claims are also included for use of a digital computer to implement the method and use of a hardware simulator to implement the method.
