Patent EP-0968752-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REICHARDT HORST DR
IPC: B01D53/18
Filed: 1999-03-25
Abstract: In the wash water circuit, the safe disposal of harmful products is ensured by the provision of rigidly connected pressure pipes and flexible tubing only in low-pressure service sections. Incinerator, spray absorption and treatment of the resulting wash water are carried out in one reactor (1). The wash water drains through a pipe (50) into a container (10) in the shape of a quadrant with a radius of 80 cm. It is a double-walled vessel having a gap of 0,8 cm except in a pocket (15), which has a radius of about 6 cm. It is closed at the top with a solid lid. The lid supports pumps and has flanged openings (19) that admit pipelines and instruments. The apex of the quadrant is formed around a centerline (41). Two housings (26,30) are positioned around the centerline. One portion (26) is rigidly connected to the container and the other portion (30) is rigidly fixed to the wall of the reactor. High-pressure fluid lines pass into, and out of, these portions so that both ends of these lines are rigidly connected. The lines carry fluids at pressures up to 8 bar. It is essential to be warned about leaks from the container which would fill the space between the walls and can be detected in the pocket (15), which contains a sensor (18), a level indicator (17) and a drain line (16). The container can be swung out of the reactor shell for maintenance work by swiveling it about the centerline. At least two sets of wheels (43) and a bearing (42) are provided for this. The connection between the portions, a cap-nut (32), must be loosened to allow circular ridges to slide in corresponding grooves in the two parts. Each ridge and groove set provides a conduit for a particular set of passages corresponding to a particular pipeline. There are then only two low-pressure pipelines (45,50) that need to be provided with flexible sections such as (47). Pipelines are required to drain the incinerator, remove solid reaction compounds (usually sludge), add reagents, top up with fresh water and supply the water sprays in the incinerator. Plastic materials are used for the container (10) and connecting portions (26,30).

Abstract: Hydrogenation of sugar(s) (II) to sugar alcohol(s) (I) is effected over a catalyst containing at least one transition metal of Group VIII (optionally together with at least one transition metal of Group I or VII) on a carrier. Either: (a) the catalyst is prepared in situ by depositing a homogeneous compound of the active metal(s) on the carrier; (b) the catalyst contains the active metal(s) at 0.01-30 wt.% (based on the total weight of the catalyst), 5-50% of the pore volume of the carrier consists of macropores with a diameter of 50-10000 nm and 50-95% of the pore volume consists of mesopores with a diameter of 2-50 nm (the sum of the pore volumes adding up to 100%); or (c) the catalyst is a monolithic supported catalyst obtained by heating and cooling a metal fabric or foil in air, coating under vacuum with an active component, cutting and shaping the coated carrier and processing to give the monolithic catalyst.

IPC: G11B5/55

Abstract: For a balance adjustment due to a reduction in size
and weight of an actuator, an arm portion, an axis
attaching portion, and a coil supporting portion are
arranged so that the centers of gravity on the coil side
are located on a straight line connecting a rotational
center and the center of gravity on the head side.
Further, the improvement of an assembling efficiency of a
VCM, an increase in torque, a one-touch fixing of an FPC
connecting band, a noise prevention of a read pattern, and
an insulation between the base and cover due to a bias of
an MR read head are accomplished. A sector mark is
detected by comparing a peak detection pulse and its
reference polarity signal. A redundancy is provided to a
reference detection polarity signal so that a read signal
can be detected even if any one of the read signals of the
sector marks is dropped out. A gray code detecting
section for recognizing a cylinder address also detects
on the basis of a peak detection pulse and a polarity
signal due to the reading of a gray code. A memory space
to store a program is divided into an ROM space of a small
electric power consumption and an RAM space of a large
electric power consumption and stores each peculiar
program. When the CPU doesn't execute a program in the
RAM space, the execution of an idle program in the ROM
space is allocated, thereby reducing an electric power
consumption in an idle state by using an ROM.

Abstract: An exposure apparatus (EA2) that uses X-ray radiation in a photolithographic process and can
obtain various measurements regarding the X-ray radiation used, by obtaining and analyzing
readings of the photoelectric effect on various reflective surfaces (5, 60a, 60b, 7, 7a, 9a, 9b,
9c and 9d) or optical elements (50a and 51). With the measurements of the X-ray radiation,
the exposure apparatus can control the exposure dose during the mask (8) and wafer (10)
illumination process. The exposure system also has the ability to detect deformation in the
mirrors (9a, 9b, 9c and 9d) of the projection optical system caused by heat generated by
absorption of the X-ray radiation. This is accomplished by analyzing the photoelectric effect
occurring on the mirror surfaces and correcting the deformation of the mirrors based on this
analysis.

Abstract: A damping chamber (11, 22) is formed in a pressure
relaxation device (5, 18) connected to a high pressure fuel pipe
(3, 19). Valve bodies (12, 13, 23, 26, 27, 30, 31, 33, 34) are
provided at openings of partitions (9, 10, 21), and a spring force
is applied to the valve bodies by a spring (14, 24) in a valve closing
direction. When a high pressure portion reaches an inlet (9a, 10a,
21a) of the damping chamber, the valve body opens to hold and absorb
the high pressure portion in the damping chamber. When a low
pressure portion reaches the inlet of the damping chamber, the high
pressure portion held in the damping chamber is gradually released
via a restricted orifice (12a, 13a, 28, 9b, 10b, 23a) to cancel the
low pressure portion, thereby reducing the pressure pulsation of
fuel.
