Abstract: Dialkyl carbonates can be prepared by reaction of carbon monoxide with alkyl nitrites in a continuous gas-phase reaction in the presence of a heterogeneous platinum metal catalyst, the activity of this catalyst being maintained by addition of small amounts of halogen. In this process, the dialkyl carbonates are formed in nearly quantitative selectivity and deactivation of the catalyst does not occur.

Abstract: A control system for a high-speed rotary washer spraying system designed particularly for plastic returnable bottles (11) automatically regulates each process of the wash spraying system, namely sequentially feeding bottles from an infeed conveyor means (12), inverting them by a worm/inverter means (14), receiving and simultaneously rotating each bottle (11) in an inverted position through a plurality of washing, neutralizing and sanitizing treatment zones, and inverting each bottle to its original neck-up orientation for further processing. During the entire process, a programmable logic controller maintains, manages, and controls all pumps, valves, solenoids, and drive motor speeds as required by the process, and also provides for monitoring and adjusting fluid levels, alkalinity/acidity concentrations, and temperatures of the wash and neutralizing solutions. Alarm conditions that may present themselves during the washing, neutralizing, and sanitizing processes are flagged for human intervention, interaction, or acknowledgement. Such alarm conditions are out of range: fluid-flow, temperature, pressure, conductivity and/or pH, fluid levels, and carousel and bottle RPM. The control system also includes specialized checks for clogged spray nozzles, and out of position fluid lances.

Abstract: A camera locks out an attempted flash photograph when the voltage of the flash charger is below a minimum voltage necessary for the flash to fire. Flash lockout may also take place when: the flash charger voltage is equal to or greater than the minimum flash voltage but less than the lowest voltage in a voltage range providing optimum flash lighting; and the photographic subject distance is beyond the flash range at the present flash charger voltage. Lockout may also be determined based on current flash charger charging time compared to predetermined times for the flash charger to reach the minimum voltage and/or the lowest voltage in the optimum lighting range from a substantially discharged state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the flame quality of an atmospheric gas burner, in which the combustion gas is introduced via a gas nozzle (8) into a mixing chamber (3) into which in addition to the combustion gas a minimum volumetric flow of primary air is introduced via a feed cross-section (2), and the mixture of combustion gas and primary air formed is led into the combustion chamber via a combustion surface (6) provided with a flame opening (7). The volumetric flow of the primary air is varied between a predetermined minimum volumetric flow and a maximum volumetric flow as a function of the combustion chamber temperature prevailing in the region of the combustion surface. As a result, automatic adaptation to changing gas properties is possible. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Shrouded towers (32) for supporting adjustably cantilevered work platforms (40) for performing external surface work on ship hulls (such as abrading and painting) are modularized (to modules 222-228) for sake of economy and efficient utilization, including shifting of modules using techniques and equipment currently used for shifting shipping containers. Supply and recovery line connections between support barge-mounted equipment (176), floating drydock and work platform-mounted work applicators is facilitated by fixed installation of some portions and the provision of flexible connectors between these portions. Alternative adjustable cantilevering structures are disclosed for mounting the work platforms to the vertically movable trolleys. Preferably, rotating wheels (316) rather than compressed air, are used to propel the abrasive grit against the hull surface, and abrasive supply systems having degrees of automated recovery of spent grit are disclosed.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing system which prevents data destruction resulting from the replacement of a floppy disk during a low power-consumption mode in which a floppy disk controller and a floppy disk drive are powered off. 
     In the process of returning from hibernation mode to a normal operation mode, an I/O address showing a change line status register of the floppy disk controller is set to a stored register of the trap logic (status 173). When the process returns to the normal operation mode and then an access to the first status register is trapped, a change line status flag value is rewritten (status 174). The OS/driver responds to the faked status and invalidates the floppy disk allocation information in the main memory.

Abstract: In an optical switch of the DOS ("Digital Optical Switch") type, an entry guide (HE) and two divergent exit guides (HD,HG) constitute a guiding structure. A central separation located between these two exit guides constitutes a guide gap (6). Electrodes (MC,MD,MG) make it possible to selectively control effective refractive indices of these two exit guides in order to couple this input guide to one or other or to both of these exit guides depending on the value of a control signal (J). According to the invention, the width (LH) of the guide gap (6) is increased in two entry (Z2,Z3) and exit (Z7) transition zones in order to vary this width more progressively therein, this being achieved by means of a central recess at the end of the entry guide and by means of a progressive variation in the inclination of the facing edges of the exit guides. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un circuit de remise à zéro de mise sous tension MOSS complémentaire génère un signal de sortie de mise sous tension, utile pour les circuits externes, lorsqu'une tension d'alimentation du courant appliquée dépasse une première valeur déterminée, et ce circuit comprend un diviseur à transistors proportionné afin de générer une tension sur un n÷ud de détection qui représente une partie de la tension d'alimentation du courant lors d'une mise sous tension transitoire. Le circuit se verrouille de manière générative lorsque la tension d'alimentation de courant montante et la tension du n÷ud de détection diffèrent de plus d'une seconde valeur prédéterminée, telle qu'une tension de seuil de canal P. Un signal de réaction neutralise par la suite l'intensité du courant circulant dans le circuit de remise à zéro de mise sous tension afin d'éliminer virtuellement la dissipation du courant statique, et le signal de sortie de mise sous tension est généré. Des circuits sont incorporés pour empêcher le couplage capacitif de la tension d'alimentation montante du courant, par les puits N des transistors à canal P, aux n÷uds critiques du circuit interne. La première valeur prédéterminée de la tension d'alimentation du courant appliquée, au niveau de laquelle le circuit génère un signal de sortie de mise sous tension, est configurable par l'ajustement du rapport des deux transistors à canal P.

Abstract: The invention is generally directed to methods of promoting normal respiratory tract airflow in subjects with restricted airflow and ciliary clearance caused by the presence of pathological airway contents, and particularly mucoid contents. Actin-binding proteins are administered into the respiratory tract of a subject with a pathological respiratory condition involving the presence of such contents. The actin-binding protein binds to actin polymers in the contents and decreases the viscosity. The actin binding proteins also prevent actin from binding to exogenous or endogenous DNase, thus increasing the degradation of DNA polymers in the contents.
