Abstract: A method for improving utilization of limestone in a sodium-limestone double alkali flue gas desulfuriza­tion process. Spent alkaline absorber solution, con­taining sodium sulfite and sodium bisulfite, is diverted for regeneration treatment in a series of stirred tank reactors, where it is contacted with the limestone regenerating agent. Dilute slurry from the last reactor is concentrated in a thickener, and the concentrated underflow slurry from the thickener is then treated further in an after-reactor circuit. Since the thickener underflow slurry contains residual unreacted limestone, the slurry is contacted with a side stream of spent alkaline absorber solution in the after-reactor circuit to promote further reaction of residual limestone before the solids are separated and discarded.

Abstract: A flame retardant comprising of spherical red phosphorus free of pulverized face which is directly produced in the form of fine powder by conversion of yellow phosphorus, without pulverizing process. The red phosphorus characterized by its surface state and shape entirely different from any prior pulverized red phosphorus has not only a high flame retarding ability, but also a superior combination of chemical and physical properties, particularly with regard to corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, mechanical strength and dielectric properties which make it highly valuable and useful as a flamme retardant for various nonflammable resinous compositions used in electric articles including electronic parts, machines, automobiles and buildings. The flame retardant is desirably coated with thermosetting rein and/or hydroxide of aluminum and/or zinc, thereby greatly improved in its stability.

Abstract: The process of the invention comprises pressure molding a ceramic material (B) with a mold (1, 2, 3, 4). at least a part (1) of which consists of a low melting alloy having a melting point temperature between 40°C and 250°C, preferably between 46°C and 180°C, said molding being carried out at a temperature lower than the melting point of the low melting alloy, thereafter heating the mold to melt and remove the low melting alloy, and subsequently firing the thus obtained molded body into a sintered body. The invention is advantageously applied to the manufacture of sintered bodies having a complicated shape, e.g. having a hollow of which the inside dimension is larger than its entrance. The low melting alloy part is especially a centre core part. The use of a low melting alloy mold part achieves high dimensional accuracy in the ceramic body, allows high molding pressure and provides a simple process.

Abstract: An automated apparatus is provided which implements a new method of extracting and purifying nucleic acids from cells without the use of centrifugation. In the method, a lysate is created by treating the cells with proteinase K in the presence of a lysis buffer having a high concentration of a salt. The lysate is mixed with a phenol-based solvent system, thereby creating an emulsion. The emulsion is heated to promote phase separation. Similarly, the rate of phase separation is also enhanced by increasing the surface area of the emulson. Once the phase separation is complete, the lower organic phase is removed and the upper aqueous phase is repeatedly extracted with the phenol-based solvent a preselected number of times, and is finally extracted using chloroform. The remaining aqueous phase is then dialyzed to further purify and concentrate the nucleic acid solution. Two preferred embodiments of apparatus are presented to accomplish this extraction.

Abstract: A touch panel has panel scanning signals selectively applied to the four sides of a touch sensing surface of the panel so as to establish alternating current voltage gradients in desired directions across the touch sensing surface. When the panel is touched, touch signals result and are utilized by a touch location circuit in determining the location of touch. The impedence touch current resulting from a user's touch may also be determined and used. The touch panel circuit automatically adjusts the frequency of the applied panel signals to shift this frequency away from fixed frequency interference spectra, such as due to cathode-ray tube flyback signals, in the environment in which the touch panel is used. The touch location thereby minimizes the effects of such spectra on touch location determinations.

Abstract: An electrical connector system for electrically interconnecting electrically conductive paths of a first circuit with corresponding electrically conductive paths of a second circuit. The system includes backer structure with guide structure that is adapted to receive a first circuit which has a first array of pad-type contacts, and a cooperating connector assembly component that includes contact carrier structure with camming structure and that is adapted to receive a second circuit which has a second array of pad-type contacts corresponding to the pad-type contacts of the first array, and actuator structure that includes camming structure for interaction with camming structure of the contact carrier structure. Elastomeric foam structure interconnects the actuator and said contact carrier structures in a manner enabling the camming structures to engage. First guide structure associated with the actuator structure allows restrained movement of the actuator structure towards the backer structure, and second guide structure cooperating between the contact carrier structure and the backer structure allows translational movement of the contact carrier structure while maintaining the pad-type contacts of the first and second circuits in alignment as the actuator structure causes the camming structures to concurrently compress the elastomeric coupling member and produce lateral movement of the contact carrier structure parallel to the plane of the pad-type contacts in wiping action as guided by the engaged guide structures.
