Abstract: The invention provides systems, methods, and articles useful in the production of foams, and, in particular microcellular foams. The systems include a restriction element that reduces the backflow of polymer melt in an extruder while polymeric material is injected into a mold or ejected from a die. The restriction element is positioned upstream of a blowing agent injection port to maintain the solution of polymer and blowing agent in the extruder above a minimum pressure throughout an injection or ejection cycle, and preferably above the critical pressure required for the maintenance of a single-phase solution of polymer and blowing agent. The systems can be used in injection molding, blow molding, or in any other processing techniques that include injection or ejection cycles. In some embodiments, the systems utilize reciprocating screws for injection or ejection. In other embodiments, the systems include an accumulator connected to an outlet of the extruder, in which a plunger moves to inject polymeric material into a mold or eject polymeric material from a die.

Abstract: The retrofitting of an existing methanol or methanol/ammonia plant to make acetic acid is disclosed. The existing plant has a reformer (10) to which natural gas or another hydrocarbon and steam (water) are fed. Syngas is formed in the reformer (10). All or part of the syngas is processed to separate out carbon dioxide (24), carbon monoxide (30) and hydrogen (32), and the separated carbon dioxide (24) is fed either to the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) for methanol synthesis, or back into the feed to the reformer (10) to enhance carbon monoxide formation in the syngas (18). Any remaining syngas (38) not fed to the carbon dioxide separator (22) can be converted to methanol in the existing methanol synthesis loop (12) along with carbon dioxide (24) from the separator (22) and/or imported carbon dioxide (25), and hydrogen (35) from the separator (28). The separated carbon monoxide (30) is then reacted with the methanol (36) to produce acetic acid (40) or an acetic acid precursor by a conventional process. Also disclosed is the reaction of separated hydrogen (32) with nitrogen (52), in a conventional manner, to produce ammonia. Also disclosed is the reaction of a portion of the acetic acid (40) in a conventional manner with oxygen (46) and ethylene (44) to form vinyl acetate monomer (48). The nitrogen for the added ammonia capacity in a retrofit of an original methanol plant comprising an ammonia synthesis loop (33), and the oxygen (46) for the vinyl acetate monomer process (42), are obtained from a new air separation unit (50).

Abstract: A data link network system comprising a central node airborne station and a plurality of ground stations each having multi-channel transmitter/receiver capable of transmitting quadrature phase spread spectrum signals and in phase spread spectrum signals both of which contain data. One of said quadrature channels is maintained as a master channel which provides a master time of day clock in the airborne platform of the network system and the other channel is employed as an adjustable time of day clock channel for resynchronizing ground stations after an outage. When an outage occurs between the airborne station and one of the ground stations the airborne station calculates the propagation time to the ground station and shifts the adjustable channel to transmit a spread spectrum data signal which will arrive in synchronization with the time of day in the ground station that had the outage. The transmitted data signal is instantaneously reacquired by the ground station and the data transmitted is employed to resynchronize the ground station receiver/transmitter with the master clock in the airborne receiver/transmitter.

Abstract: A method is described for transmitting/receiving STM-4 (SDH) or STS-12 (SONET) digital signals over two RF carriers in a radio regenerator section. The method provides for performing, in transmission, a de-interleaving operation of the standard frame to be transmitted in such a way as to subdivide it by columns into two sub-frames. The RSOH bytes of the standard frame are terminated and transmitted over the two working channels or over one service channel and one working channel so as to be protected in a 1+1 configuration: In reception, a column interleaving operation recombines together the two sub-frames and recovers and correctly rearranges the RSOH bytes so terminated as to obtain the standard frame originally received from the transmitter. The generated sub-frames are synchronized with the standard frame. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The process allows the production of a vegetable yogurt formed by fermentation of vegetable products such as green vegetables and fruits under the action of lactic bacteria. The fermentation involves a first phase of preparation of the vegetable substrate, during which the green vegetables and/or fruit are ground, then water is added to obtain a creamy or liquid product. Then pasteurization is carried out. Afterwards the cultures of lactic bacteria are inoculated whereby the fermentation step is carried out at a variable temperature depending on the strain being used. After the pH reaches a value of about 3.8-4.5 fragrances and/or thickening agents, fruit puree, or fruit in small pieces or cereals are added and subsequently the product is packaged. The product made by the process of this application is part of the invention.

Abstract: In the system of the present invention, packages(25) are randomly placed on a conveyor belt(27), with their labels facing a two-camera subassembly(12).  As theconveyor belt(27) moves, the two-camera subassembly(12) continuously takes images of the belt underneath the overhead camera. The design of the camera permits it to take a high resolution image of a non-singulated, unjustified package flow. A digital image of the packages within the field of view of the camera is then transferred to the processing system for analysis. The processing system identifies individual packages(25) in the image, extracts them and then analyzes the information written on the package labels. The analysis process utilizes conventional Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) techniques to evaluate the information written on the package label. Once the information is decoded, the system either accesses a database record associated with the decoded machine-readable code, or creates a new record.  When an unknown word image is encountered, the field-specific recognition process is aided by use of lexicon information, optimized based on installation-specific or user-specific criteria. The lexicon information is continuously revised based on processed form information.
