Abstract: An improvement is proposed in a polymerization reactor system for the suspension polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer comprising a reactor (1) and an external heat exchanger (2) connected to the reactor (1) by a pipe line (3) through a pumping means (4) in order to supplement the deficiency in the cooling capacity of the jacket of (6) the reactor and/or reflux condenser installed thereto when the capacity of the reactor is greatly increased. While such an external circulating circuit using a conventional pump suffers from a serious problem of polymer scale deposition on the inner walls of the circuit and degradation of the quality of the resin product, these drawbacks can be dissolved by using a specific pump having an impellor (16) in the form of a single spiral screw blade around a hub (15) having a conical configuration for the circulation of the polymerization mixture through the heat exchanger.

Abstract: In order for neural network technology to make useful determinations of the identity of letters and numbers that are processed in real time at a postal service sorting center, it is necessary for the neural network to "learn" to recognize accurately the many shapes and sizes in which each letter or number are formed on the address surface of the envelope by postal service users. It has been realized that accuracy in the recognition of many letters and numbers is not appreciably sacrificed if the neural network is instructed to identify those characteristics of each letter or number which are in the category "invariant." Then, rather than requiring the neural network to recognize all gradations of shape, location, size, etc. of the identified invariant characteristic, a generalized and bounded description of the invariant segments is used which requires far less inputting of sample data and less processing of information relating to an unknown letter or number.

Abstract: A ROM constituting a variable length coding table of 2 picture element range is provided. A motion vector within the range of 2 picture elements is given to the ROM to provide a VLC code corresponding to the motion vector within the range of 2 picture elements. In a calculation circuit, assuming that the value of a motion vector within the range of 4 picture elements is X, a quotient Y and a remainder Z are obtained by the division of X by 2. The quotient Y is supplied to the ROM whose output is added the remainder Z at an additional circuit to obtain a VLC code corresponding to the motion vector lying within the range of 4 picture elements. This is equivalent to the coding at the variable length coding for four-picture element range. By sending a flag indicating whether a motion vector range is 2 picture elements or 4 picture elements, the motion vector is correctly reproduced from the VLC code. By the use of the single table ROM, a motion vector within the range of 2 picture elements and 4 picture elements can be coded to reduce the load imposed on the hardware.

Abstract: The present invention relates to electrochromic solutions and devices manufactured therefrom. More precisely, the present invention relates to electrochemichromic compounds and processes for preparing the same. The present invention also relates to electrochemichromic solutions of such compounds, and those devices manufactured with the same, that demonstrate superior responsiveness to those solutions known heretofore when an applied potential is introduced thereto. And, these solutions, when contained within electrochemichromic devices, demonstrate ultraviolet stability, thermal stability and cycle stability. The responsiveness observed in terms of solution coloring with respect to the solutions, and devices containing the same, of the present invention is of a greater rapidity, intensity and uniformity than those electrochemichromic solutions of the prior art. Preparation of these solutions involve the novel process of pre-treating at least one of the electrochemichromic compounds with a redox agent prior to placing it in contact with the other electrochemichromic compound. Moreover, the present invention relates to methods of preparing such novel solutions and processes for using these solutions to provide devices that exhibit and benefit from the aforementioned superior characteristics.

Abstract: A liquid separator, in particular for separating mixtures of water and liquids of lower specific gravity such as oil, petrol or the like, includes a vessel which has an inlet and an outlet. A separator region is formed in the liquid separator. The liquid separated off in the separator region is received in a collection vessel which is arranged in the liquid separator vessel. In order to create a liquid separator which, despite a relatively large volume of the collection vessel, requires only a relatively small construction space and in which unintentional escape of the separated liquid from the collection vessel is reliably prevented, it is provided that the collection vessel is essentially completely closed and has a feed orifice in its top region. The liquid separated off in the separator region is preferably fed using a transport apparatus to the collection vessel via a line, which, if appropriate, is fluid-tight, and is connected in a fluid-tight manner to the collection vessel.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for manipulating digital data relating to motion video images, in which motion video image information is used to manage and retrieve a motion video image. A whole motion video image R is hierarchically divided into frame sequences A, A1, A11 ... of shorter time according to the construction and the semantic contents thereof, and logical frame structure data (10, 13, 15, 16, 17) representing the hierarchical relationship of the frame sequences, attribute data At of the frame sequences, and still video images rf of representative frames are generated; these are associated with each other to create a data file. Retrieval of a motion video image is performed by extracting frame sequences using the attribute data and logical frame structure as retrieval keys for the data file of the motion video image information, and by confirming the contents using the still video image rf of the representative frames. By this approach any scene can be randomly accessed and associated scenes can also be retrieved easily, and thus a motion video image of interest can quickly be retrieved from a long sequence of motion video images.

Abstract: A part of the hydrogen sulphide content of a feed gas stream comprising hydrogen sulphide is burned by a burner 2 that fires into a furnace 4. The combustion is supported by a stream of oxygen or oxygen-enriched air. Resulting sulphur dioxide reacts with residual hydrogen sulphide in the furnace 5 to form sulphur vapour. Sulphur is condensed out of the resulting gas mixture in condenser 10. At least part of the sulphur-free gas mixture flows through a reactor 14 in which its sulphur dioxide content is reduced to hydrogen sulphide. Water vapour is removed from the resulting gas stream in a condenser 16. At least part of the gas stream now essentially free of water vapour is recycled to the furnace 4. A purge stream is taken either from immediately downstream of the sulphur condenser 10 (as shown in Figure 1) or from intermediate the water condenser 16 and the furnace 4, or from the furnace 4 and, if desired, subjected to further treatment to remove sulphur-containing gases therefrom.

Abstract: A battery terminal for an automobile has first and second tightening plates (20A,20B) connected to the free ends of an interrupted annular electrode-engaging portion (16) such that by clamping the tightening plates together the free ends are urged together thereby clamping the terminal onto a battery post. A nut (42) and a bolt (40) adjustably fasten a tightening strip (22) against the second tightening plate, the strip also engaging the first tightening plate and arranged such that during a tightening operation the strip moves from an inclined position into parallel engagement with the second tightening plate. Vertical movement provided by the bolt during tightening is translated into horizontal movement to close the free ends by engagement between the tightening strip and an inclined portion (32) of a tightening substrate (23) connected to the second tightening plate. Tightening with a wrench is therefore more convenient since the bolt extends vertically when fitting to a vertical battery post.

Abstract: Copper laminates (3) which have been provided with a black or brown oxide coating (black or brown oxide finish) and which, in the course of a subsequent process step, are to be incorporated into an electrical multilayer are reduced electrochemically in order to prevent the formation of so-called pink rings. To this end, in a suitable electrolyte, they are connected as the cathode of an electrolysis. The atomic hydrogen formed in the nascent state in the process reduces the copper oxide layer on the metallic regions of the copper laminates (3), either in its entirety or in part, the resistance of the surfaces of the metallic regions of the copper laminate with respect to a subsequent attack by acid being considerably improved as a result. The electrochemical reduction may, if required, be coupled with a chemical reduction or be carried out prior to a chemical reduction. <IMAGE>
