Title: Method of and tower for distillation
Inventor: DEAN MARY HELEN
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make theoretical calculation more reflectible in the design of a distillation tower than the tower design in prior arts, by providing the lowest bed of beds for packing materials at a height which falls within a specific range from the next above bed and making the overall height of packing materials in the distillation tower equal to at least a specific value. SOLUTION: A tower 1 has an outer shell housing packing materials 12 and 14 and an (N+1)-th bed, and N-th and (N+1)-th beds indicate the beds on which the packing materials 12 and 14 are packed. Liquid collectors and distributors 13 are placed between the beds for the packing materials 12 and 14. When, for example, argon-oxygen separation is made, a gaseous feed 18 generated from a low-pressure tower enters a distillation tower 10 and produces an ascending vapor phase of a mixture. In the top section of the tower 1, vapor contains a highly volatile component. The vapor is taken out as a tower-top distillate flow 20, condensed, and divided into a product flow 22 and a reflux 24 returned to the tower 1.  In this case, the lowest bed of beds for packing materials is provided approximately as high as about 50-80% of the next above bed of the beds for packing materials and the overall height of the packing materials 12 and 14 in a packed tower is adjusted to be at least about 6 m.

Title: Digital signal recorder
Inventor: IWAMA TADASHI
IPC: H04N5/85
Filed: 2000-05-17
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the defect that break and turbulence of an operating clock which generates and processes recording data on the occurrence of abnormalities in input of received data when the received data is recorded on a recording medium without intermediating a sampling rate converter, abnormal recording data are recorded on the recording medium or a noise is mixed in monitor sound is generated as a result. SOLUTION: An input abnormal detecting means 15 detects the abnormalities in the input of the received data received by an interface receiver 1. When the abnormalities in the input of this received data are detected, the operating clock of an encoder 4 generating and processing the recording data is switched from a bit clock to a reference clock generated by a reference clock generating circuit 10. Thereby, the occurrence of the break and turbulence of the operating clock which generates and processes the recording data on the occurrence of the abnormalities in the input of the received data is prevented.
