Inventor: WACHI SHUN
IPC: B01J8/38
Filed: 1992-06-24
Abstract: A process for preparing dichloroethane according to a two-stage oxychlorination reaction. The catalyst is oxidized in a reactor which is separated from a reactor where ethylene is chlorinated. The catalyst is circulated between an oxidation reactor and a chlorination reactor through a catalyst recovering line and a catalyst feed line. Preferably, an inner pressure of the oxidation reactor is higher than that of the chlorination reactor to avoid the formation of a flammable mixture.

Abstract: A semiconductor body (1) has a first region (2) of one conductivity type adjacent one major surface (3). Second and third regions (5 and 6) of the opposite conductivity type are provided within the first region (2) adjacent the one major surface (3) and an insulated gate structure (80) overlies a conduction channel region (9) between the second and third regions (5 and 6) for providing a gateable connection along the length (L) of the conduction channel region (9) between the second and third regions (5 and 6). The insulated gate structure (80) has a gate insulating region (81) and a gate conductive region (82) extending on the gate insulating region (81) and up onto a relatively thick insulating region (4) adjoining the gate insulating region (81). The gate insulating region (81) overlaps with the periphery (6a) of the portion (62) of the third region (6) adjacent the insulated gate structure (80) so that, in a direction (D) transverse to the length (L) of the conduction channel region (9), the gate conductive region (82) extends from the gate insulating region (81) up onto the relatively thick insulating region (4) over the first region (2). The corner (10b) at which the gate insulating region (81) adjoins the relatively thick insulating region (4) thus lies over the first region (2) and not over the third region (6), thereby reducing the electric field stress at the corner (10b).

Abstract: A resin system includes 100 parts by weight of an epoxy resin, from about 1/2 to about 10 parts by weight of an imidazole curing agent, and, optionally, an elastomeric material such as a rubber. The resin system without the elastomer is particularly useful as the matrix of a composite material or a potting compound, and the resin system with the elastomer is particularly useful as an adhesive. The resin system is cured at a low temperature and exhibits essentially no dimensional instability upon curing, and then is preferably post-cured at a higher temperature. The post-cured resin system has a softening temperature substantially higher than the normal post-cure temperature and has good mechanical properties.

Abstract: Reconstituted tobacco sheets manufactured from tobacco dust and binder are described herein. More particularly, the tobacco dust has a mean particle size in the range of from about 60 mesh to about 400 mesh to afford reconstituted tobacco sheets having about 80% to about 90% tobacco content with improved quality and survivability. The reduced particle size of the tobacco dust allows an increase in the solids content of the slurry without an increase in slurry viscosity. The increased solids content reduces the drying load of the cast sheet thereby allowing an increased production rate. The reconstituted tobacco sheets may be prepared from a slurry comprising tobacco dust and binder that may be subjected to a means for removing air trapped within the slurry before casting the slurry into sheets. An apparatus for determining the amount of air trapped within the slurry prepared according to the process of the present invention is also described herein.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a solution to this basic problem of transaction management for systems which use the object metaphor to define the interfaces between different components of a system. An elegant solution is described which defines a transaction manager protocol and process, which is independent of the operating system micro-kernel's interprocess communication activities. The object-oriented transaction manager ("TM") creates transactions, keeps track of all object managers (servers) that are a part of a transaction, and coordinates transaction termination among all objects that are involved in the transaction. In addition, operations by naive applications can be made to execute under transaction control without modifying the applications.

Abstract: A spread spectrum modulating apparatus includes an oscillator outputting a carrier. A frequency multiplier multiplies a frequency of the carrier by a predetermined integer N1. A frequency divider divides the frequency of the carrier by a predetermined integer N2. A spread code generator uses an output signal of the frequency divider as a clock signal, and generates a spread code in response to the clock signal. A power supply feeds a dc bias. An operation device executes predetermined logic operation between the spread code and a signal coming from a side of the power supply. A switch selectively feeds an input information signal to either the oscillator or the side of the power supply. An output signal of the operation device and an output signal of the frequency multiplier are multiplied to execute a spectrum spreading process.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery is charged by connecting the terminals of the battery to an electrical power source. In order to avoid overcharging and undue temperature increase in the battery cell, the course of a least one charging parameter, such as the increase rate of the voltage, is surveyed during at least part of the process of charging the battery. This charging parameter surveyed is compared with a number of reference parameter courses representing idealistic or desireable processes of charging the battery for different starting states of charge of the battery. Such comparisons may for example be made by means of a microprocessor, which may also select the reference course with a starting state of charge similar to the actual starting state of charge of the battery. Thereafter the process of charging the battery may be controlled so as to approximate the course of said charging parameter to the selected reference course. The charging voltage may be limited to a maximum value (Vmax). When such value has been reached the charging process may be terminated after a certain predetermined time period being one of the reference values.

Abstract: In a varying speed method of reproducing digital video signals, the signals are reproduced in a phase locked state from a magnetic tape by applying a phase servo to a tape running system using the difference between the number of a pre-set one of sync blocks reproduced by each tracing by a rotary magnetic head (28) and the number of a target sync block as a phase error. Thus, the pre-set sync block may be positively reproduced by each tracing by the rotary magnetic head (28) during varying speed reproduction of the magnetic tape having the digital video signals recorded on inclined tracks thereon. In a reproducing apparatus, digital video signals may be reproduced from the magnetic tape in a phase locked state by feeding back the phase error signal from phase error signal generating means to a phase loop of the tape running system designed for running the magnetic tape during varying speed reproduction. This enables the pre-set sync block to be positively reproduced by each tracing by the rotary magnetic head (28) during varying speed reproduction of the magnetic tape having the digital video signals recorded on the inclined tracks thereof.
