Abstract: A process of producing compounds containing an acyloxyalkoxy group from an alcohol consists of reacting the alcohol with a formaldehyde donor until a compound of the formula:R-O-CH2(OCH2)XOR(V)is generated, wherein x is between about 1 to about 5 and R is an organic moiety. This product is then reacted with a carboxylic acid anhydride. The resulting product has the formula:R-O-CH2O-COR1wherein R1 is a C1-C6 alkyl group. The invention further relates to intermediates used in the production of such acyloxyalkoxylated compounds.

Abstract: The times(t1-t4) representing the time from the start of filling of each cavity(K1-K4) to reaching a reference pressure(pR) inside each cavity are measured, the reference pressure being above the pressure at the end of the filling stage, but below the lowest maximum pressure in a cavity. The temperatures in the hot runners to each cavity are then individually controlled to reduce the differences between measured time periods. A pressure/time integral is created for each cavity over a predetermined time period, which begins at the latest at the change-over point of the first filled cavity(K1) and ends between the change-over point of the last filled cavity(K2) and the point at which maximum pressure is reached. The integral is then additionally used for controlling hot runner temperature. Maximum pressure in each cavity is recorded and used additionally for controlling the hot runner temperatures. An imaginary mean value may also be created from the recorded time integrals or maximum pressures for each cavity, the differences between recorded and the imaginary values are formed and used to control the hot runner temperatures. A preferred way of reducing the filling time differences is to reduce the temperature in the first filled cavity(K1) in steps and increase it in the last filled cavity(K2). The change-over point for each cavity is determined automatically.

Abstract: Un réseau de communications, qui comporte une pluralité de commutateurs, achemine les appels d'un commutateur récepteur à un commutateur destinataire directement ou via un commutateur de déviation. Le commutateur récepteur, le commutateur destinataire, ou les deux, analyse le contenu d'une mémoire pour déterminer si l'interlocuteur appelant ou l'interlocuteur appelé est repéré pour un acheminement de déviation. L'appel peut être acheminé sur le commutateur de déviation à l'initiative, soit du commutateur récepteur, soit du commutateur destinataire, dès lors que l'appel est repéré pour un acheminement de déviation. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à émettre du commutateur récepteur vers le commutateur destinataire un signal d'information d'appel en deux parties dès lors que l'appel est repéré pour un acheminement de déviation. Dès lors que l'appel est repéré pour un acheminement de déviation, il y a émission à destination du commutateur de déviation d'un signal d'information d'appel en trois parties. Le commutateur de déviation recrée alors un signal d'information d'appel en deux parties et émet ce signal à destination du commutateur destinataire en même temps qu'il y achemine l'appel.

Abstract: A fast-setting coating material can be prepared by contacting a stable aqueous dispersion of a polymer that contains strong cationic groups and weak acid groups onto a substrate that is basic or rendered to be basic. Alternatively, the coating material can be prepared by contacting in either order or concurrently the surface of a substrate with two separate polymers, one of which contains strong cationic groups, and the other of which contains weak acid groups. In this case, the substrate need not be basic for the coating to quickly set.

A number of upright baffle plates (24) project from the core (23) to meet the sidewall means (4,5,6,7) to form various passageways. Gas is then delivered into the heat exchanger means (10) and is delivered up and down the heat exchanger between the core, the upper transverse baffle plate (20) and the lower transverse baffle plate (21) between the baffle plates until they are delivered out of the heat exchanger (10). The hot exhaust gas thus travels up and down between the two transverse baffle plates causing them to travel a considerable distance over the surface of the water carrying tanks of the boiler (1). <IMAGE>
