Abstract: A process for the production of needle-grade coke having a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) value involves coking a petroleum feedstock in a coking drum at temperature below the threshold temperature where CTE values for the coke rapidly increase for a time sufficient to obtain a relatively low CTE coke. The petroleum feedstock can be decanted oil or heavy cycle oil. The threshold temperature can be from about 400 DEG C to 600 DEG C. A heated vapor stream is introduced into the drum to maintain the coke at a temperature sufficient for coking but below the threshold temperature.

Abstract: An on-line analyzer for the determination of low level ferrous ion in aqueous solution using one-reagent chemistry for absorbance, especially in monitoring active steel corrosion in boiler systems uses intermittent flow and quiescent periods. During a first quiescent period an absorbance reading of a water sample is taken in a flow cell. During a second quiescent period an absorbance reading of the sample mixed with a chemical specifically reactive with FeII is taken. The difference in readings is a measure of FeII concentration and hence of corrosion. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cyanide-containing aqueous stream is treated to reduce the cyanide concentration by oxidation of cyanide using oxygen as the oxidizing agent under mild reaction conditions in the presence of a metal chelate catalyst. Especially effective chelates are metal phthalocyanines, particularly where the metal is vanadium or a member of the iron group metals. The oxidation can be effected homogeneously using water soluble metal chelates, or can be performed heterogeneously, especially in a continuous fashion using a packed bed reactor, by using suitable water-insoluble metal chelates, especially when supported on appropriate carriers.

Abstract: After producing the weld, a heat chart of the weld and of the thermally affected zone in the vicinity of the weld is established and a check is made that the temperature of selected points of this heat chart lies between predetermined maximum and minimum values specific to each of these points. For this purpose, a transverse scan of the weld bead is performed, this transverse direction being related to the direction of the bead, at a plurality of points distributed along the bead and with as short a delay as possible in relation to the welding at these points, and the temperature of a plurality of areas located along the scanning path is measured. A plurality of transverse temperature profiles of the weld and of the thermally affected zone in the vicinity of the weld are thus determined, the measured profiles are compared with at least one transverse reference-temperature profile and a signal is produced indicating that the deviation between at least one of the measured transverse profiles and at least one of the reference transverse profiles has reached or exceeded a predetermined value. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a coupling for connecting axially staggered rotary components with a separable intermediate coupling member connected via a first pair of links to the driving half of the coupling and via a second pair of links to the driven half of the coupling, the intermediate coupling member (20) is made up of two arc-shaped intermediate half-members (76, 78). The intermediate half-members extend over more than 180°, and hence each forms a lateral aperture (80). The intermediate half-members are arranged to be mutually offset by 180° so that the aperture (80) of each intermediate half-member (76, 78) is aligned with the closed central region of the other intermediate half-member (78, 76). In the end regions of each intermediate half-member (76, 78) there is a pair of radial straps (82, 84; 86, 88) staggered by 180°, each of which is aligned with a corresponding strap (86, 88; 82, 84) of the other intermediate half-member (78, 76). In their central regions, moreover, each intermediate half-member (76, 78) has a pair of aligned straps at an axial distance from each other. Between the aligned straps of the first and second intermediate half-members (76, 78) there is a pivot for the links (26, 28) which pivot on one coupling half (34) and between the aligned straps (90, 92) there is a pivot for the links (16, 18) which pivot on the other coupling half (10).

Abstract: A cross-domain call jacketing system is provided in a computer system that embodies a first hardware (X) architecture to executing X-code in an X-domain and which simulates at least a second computer hardware (Y) architecture executing Y-code in a Y-domain. Cross-domain routine calls are Jacketed for services in the cross-domain and for returns after the requested services have been performed. After Jacketing, X routine calls are transmitted for implementation by the simulating subsystem and Y calls are transmitted for implementation in the X domain. Call parameters are transformed from a representation that uses the call conventions of the calling domain to another representation that uses the call conventions of the called domain. Data in the memory is generally globally accessible and the Y calls include data references that require memory access handling in the X domain. A first Jacketing table is provided for each executable routine in the X domain. A second Jacketing table is provided for each executable routine in the Y domain. A run-time Jacketing routine is driven by the jacketing tables to drive the call parameter transformations needed to complete cross-domain calls.

Abstract: A system for accessing a patient's cardiac anatomy which includes an occluding catheter with an expandable member or balloon on a distal extremity of the catheter which when expanded within the patient's ascending aorta separates the left side of the heart from the rest of the patient's arterial system. A cardiopulmonary by-pass is connected to a major vein, e.g. femoral, and a major artery, e.g. femoral, to withdraw blood from the major vein, remove carbon dioxide, oxygenate the withdrawn venous blood and then return the oxygenated blood to the patient's arterial system through the major artery. Preferably, the heart muscle or myocardium is paralyzed by the retrograde or antegrade delivery of a liquid containing cardioplegic material to the myocardium through patient's coronary sinus and coronary veins. The pulmonary trunk is vented by withdrawing liquid from the trunk through an inner lumen of an elongated catheter or by holding at least partially open the pulmonary valve and preferably also the tricuspid valve which depressurizes the left atrium. The cardiac accessing system is particularly suitable for removing aortic valves and replacing the removed valve with a prosthetic valve.
