Abstract: The ampholytes are extracted from the reaction solution using a liquid cation exchanger which is not miscible with the acidic aqueous reaction solution, the cation exchanger being dissolved in at least one organic solvent which is not miscible with water, forming an organic phase with the organic solvent. The organic phase which is loaded with the ampholyte is subsequently removed from the reaction solution, and this is followed by back-extraction of the ampholytes from the organic phase using aqueous solvents. In this process, product losses and the residual salt content are very low.

Abstract: A bus arbitration system (10) is capable of granting access to an expansion bus to devices following two-wire bus arbitration protocol or a three-wire bus arbitration protocol. The bus arbitration system (10) receives a plurality of bus request signals from a plurality of devices. Each bus request signal is made up of one or more coded pulses and has a predetermined priority. A priority encoder (148) receives the bus request signal and assigns a priority level to each bus request signal. An arbiter (78) determines and stores in memory which bus request signal has a highest priority and whether the device follows two-wire bus arbitration protocol or a three-wire bus arbitration protocol. The expansion bus R(31:0) grants access to the bus to the device having the highest priority once a previous device if any, has relinquished the bus.

Abstract: A reference direction of the correction of the torch of a robot (1) is defined. A correction direction suitable to robot control is calculated on the basis of the definition and the moving direction of the robot (1) using the correction direction information specified through a man-machine interface (200) for directing the correction direction to be changed. An algorism is provided to calculate a correction amount in the correction direction for each predetermined interpolation sampling and to add it during robot interpolation. Thus, a sensor correction direction can be changed in real time while the robot operates. This permits the distortion of a work to be always dealt with suitably to provide an accurate correction operation.

Abstract: Briefly, in one aspect of the present invention, an electrode (11) is provided, which is useful as an anode in an electrochemical cell for the electrolytic generation or production of fluorine gas from molten KF·2HF electrolyte. In this application "anode" means the electrochemically-active portion of the electrode where fluorine is generated in the cell when current is applied to the electrode. The electrode comprises a current carrier, a current collector (16), and an anode (10) comprising nongraphitic carbon and is used to generate fluorine at the anodic surface of the carbon. The current carrier (13) comprises a metal sleeve (18) encircling adjacent portions of the current collector and anode, and a means (20) for uniformly applying a circumferential compression to the sleeve. The anode preferably has a cylindrical portion that is contiguously positioned next to and axially aligned with a cylindrical portion of the current collector. The current carrier provides the electrical connection between the anode and a current source.

Abstract: A magneto-optical storage device having a configuration wherein a first AIN film, a Pt/Co multi-layer film formed by alternately depositing Pt and Co, a second AIN film, and an Al reflective film are successively laminated on a substrate in this order. Assuming that respectively the thickness of the first AIN film is δAlN (1); that of the second AlN film is δAlN (2); that of the Pt single layer is δPt; that of the Co single layer is δCo; and the total thickness of the Pt/Co multi-layer film is δPt/Co, each thickness of those layers is set to range within: 50 nm ≦ δAlN (1) ≦ 200 nm; 120 nm ≦ δAlN (2) ≦ 140 nm; 0.6 nm ≦ δPt ≦ 1.0 nm; 0.3 nm ≦ δCo ≦ 0.6 nm; and 15 nm ≦ δPt/Co ≦ 20 nm. In accordance with the above arrangement, it is possible to greatly widen the tolerances of the film thicknesses of the first and second dielectric layers for obtaining a predetermined reflective index as well as a maximum Kerr rotation angle. Consequently, without strictly controlling the film thicknesses of the first and second AIN films, a magneto-optical storage device with stable performance suitable for practical use can be produced easily.

Abstract: A simulator includes a modelling simulate section (120) in which properties of an apparatus to be controlled are modelled. In addition, this simulator includes a neural network (130) in which learning is performed depending on a real control quantity for the apparatus to be controlled. A correction value relative to a simulation control quantity for the modelling simulate section (120) is calculated in response to a process quantity output from a controlling unit (10) into the neural network (120). Thereafter, the simulation control quantity is corrected depending on the calculated correction value. In practice, learning is performed in the neural network (130) by changing synapse loads (T₁₀, T₁₁, ---, T 1n ) based on a real control quantity for the apparatus to be controlled. As a result of the foregoing correction, the simulator can simulate the real apparatus more accurately.

Abstract: A blow-out prevention device (4) for shutting off a annulus (8) between a drill column (7) and a well wall by means of an expandable sealing device (3) when an unwanted blow-out of fluid and/or gas takes place from a geological unstable well formation when drilling for oil or gas. 
     When a blow-out takes place, a compressive-pulse code is activated in the inlet of the drill column (7) and is transmitted through the drilling fluid to a pressure sensor (25) which transmits the compressive-pulse code on to the microprocessor (37) which is preprogrammed with the pressure code. If the pressure codes coincide, an electric motor (27) is activated, which, via a set of gears (30) and a nut-and-bolt device (32, 33), displaces a valve plate (22) axially towards the valve seat (26). The drilling fluid then flows out through the nozzles (24) and causes a big pressure drop which is used to expand a sealing device (3) so that the annulus (8) is shut.

Abstract: Bidirectional interleaving of tri-color and black ink-jet pen print pass carriage retrace periods by the invention are utilized whenever possible for black printing. Preferably, printer controller logic used to determine next print direction monitors and records a most recent, or last, black print direction indicium such as a flag stored in memory. If certain predetermined last black print direction criteria are met, the next black print pass is performed in the opposite direction from that of the most recent color print pass, thereby increasing printer throughput. In accordance with the invention, typical tricolor and black printed swaths require up to three color print passes, one black print pass during retrace and only two non-printing retraces, thereby saving time and motion that otherwise would be wasted performing two additional, non-printing retraces.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for removing waste ink from a capping station (10) on a low cost integral capping, priming and wiping station for a thermal ink jet printer. In particular, the prime operation is repeated so that the scanning carriage (19) (supporting the ink jet printhead (18)) travels past the capping position which breaks the vacuum seal and causes waste ink in the cap volume (39) to be released into the pump chamber, thus cleaning the cap volume (39) of excess ink. The additional prime cycle does not remove ink from printhead orifices because the scanning carriage (19) travels away from the capping position as vacuum is applied.

Abstract: In an ink jet recording apparatus having recovery means for executing the recovery operation of the recording head by discharging ink from the recording head and waste ink storage tank to store the ink exhausted by the recovery means, the amount of waste ink currently stored in the waste ink storage tank is calculated in accordance with the exhaust amount which is exhausted by said recovery means up to the present, the elapsed time since the last recovery operation, and the amount of ink exhausted by the current recovery operation. In this way, it is possible to accurately monitor the amount of ink stored in the waste ink storage tank so that no waste ink is allowed to flow out from the waste ink storage tank. Users can be informed of overflow of the waste ink from the waste ink storage tank to exchange the tank so that a space for the tank can be reduced.
