Abstract: This invention provides for a batch and continuous process with countercurrent recycle of bleaching filtrates (34,44,54,64) for the delignification and bleaching of pulp (10). Oxygen delignification of pulp (33) is achieved in excess of 50% as measured by kappa numbers, while the pulp viscosity is minimally decreased by no more than about 8 cps. 
     Bleaching of delignified pulp may be achieved with peroxy (23,43,53) compounds and ozone (43) and pulp brightness of from about 82 to 88 ISO maybe achieved with pulp containing zero level TOX from chlorine based bleaching chemicals and zero level of AOX in the bleach effluents. Higher brightness of from about 90 to about 92 ISO can also be achieved by addition of very low levels of chlorine based bleaching chemicals. Corresponding bleach effluents contain less than 200 ppm AOX. Bleaching filtrates may be recycled for pulp washing and for use with an organosolv pulping process which results in significant energy savings and mitigation if not elimination of pollution typically associated with chlorine based bleaching. This invention also relates to bleach pulp product derived from the process and to an apparatus for carrying out the process.

Abstract: The reading timing determination unit determines a timing at which identification marks such as print bar codes should be read. The reading unit reads identification marks in accordance with the timing to provide identification mark data in a numerical form. The discrimination unit compares identification mark data with data value of an identification mark to be primarily printed to judge whether or not the identification mark is correctly printed. The signal generation unit produces a notifying signal when it is judged that the identification mark is not correctly printed. In this way, this apparatus tests whether or not identification marks successively printed on a moving body in the form of sheet by the printing machine are correctly printed.

Abstract: Methods for changing the delivery of an active ingredient to the vasculature of an animal by iontophoresis have the steps of adding a vasoactivator to a formulation with an active ingredient, coiontophoresing the vasoactivator and the active ingredient into the skin of an animal and establishing a concentration of the vasoactivator in the skin near the upper capillary loops thereof so that the blood flow is changed therethrough. The vasoactivator effectively changes the blood flow in the upper capillary loops of the vasculature in the skin of an animal. If the vasoactivator is a vasodilator, the blood flow is increased and when the vasoactivator is a vasoconstrictor, the blood flow is decreased. An iontophoretic delivery apparatus for use with a formulation for controlling iontophoretic transdermal administration of an active ingredient into the blood stream of the vasculature of an animal has a donor reservoir and an indifferent reservoir with an electric field therebetween for the flow of ions thereacross. The formulation is associated with the donor reservoir for coiontophoresis along the electric field to the indifferent reservoir. The vasoactivator in the formulation changes the blood flow in the upper capillary loops controlling the introduction of the active ingredient into the blood stream of the animal. A composition for coiontophoretic delivery has a solution of an active ingredient and a vasoactivator in a polar liquid.

Abstract: Using a Euclidean algorithm for error correction, an error correcting circuit corrects bit errors in a received codeword by making a difference detecting circuit (13) detect a degree difference between a higher and a lower degree polynomial. When the difference is equal to one, a dividing circuit (11) is supplied in a first stage of the algorithm with the higher and the lower degree polynomials as a dividend and a divisor polynomial. When the difference is greater than one, the difference is decremented by one to provide an amount of shift, responsive to which a shifting circuit (15) shifts coefficients of the lower degree polynomial to higher degree terms to provide a shifted polynomial. In the first stage, the shifted polynomial is used as the divisor polynomial. Preferably, an error number is calculated. From an error location polynomial, an error location number is detected. Only when the error location number coincides with the error number, the bit errors are correctable.

Abstract: In a facsimile apparatus including a recording unit having a resolution higher than the resolution of an image received through facsimile communication, a facsimile control unit performs resolution conversion in the main scanning direction for the received data, adds a predetermined command to line data of the data, and transmits the resultant data to the recording unit. This command indicates the number of operations of copying the line data in order to perform resolution conversion in the sub-scanning direction. The recording unit copies the line data some number of times in accordance with the command, and develops the obtained data in a printing buffer. A recording head is driven in accordance with the data stored in the printing buffer, to record the image. It is thereby possible to shorten the time needed for data transfer from the facsimile control unit to the recording unit.
