Title: Oxidation process
Inventor: DEAR KENNETH MICHAEL
IPC: C07C45/30
Filed: 1989-03-09
Granted: 1993-10-20
Abstract: It is desired to find an alternative way to produce benzophenones or substituted benzophenones which does so selectively and avoids the problems of previous methods that use, for example, large amounts of an aluminium chloride catalyst or nitric acid. In the invention process, a diphenyl methane starting material (DPM) in a hydrophobic phase is oxidised in a photolytic process by contact with an aqueous phase containing greater than 1 mole of HBr and at least 1.5 moles of H2O2, both per mole of DPM, the radiation being capable of dissociating bromine to its radicals, and especially using light of wavelength 600 to 250 nm. Preferably, a reaction temperature of around 50 to 65 DEG C is used, the organic solvent comprising a suitably boiling chlorinated carbon or hydrocarbon. The H2O2 is introduced progressively into the reaction mixture. The benzophenone product is recovered substantially in the organic phase, whereas most of the bromine/bromide is retained in the aqueous phase which can be re-employed in a subsequent oxidation of DPM, possibly after restoration of the bromide to its initial concentration. In a modification to the process, by suitably controlling the mole ratios of bromide and H2O2 to DPM at about 1:1:1, and preferably using a reaction temperature of about ambient to 35 DEG C, the DPM can be substituted by a single bromine atom on the methane carbon also with good selectivity, instead of being oxidised to the benzophenone.

Abstract: A process for making a polymeric, porous hollow fibre (21) by heating a mixture of a thermoplastic polymer and a solvent to a temperature and for a time for the polymer and solvent to mutually dissolve, then introducing the molten mixture into an extrusion head adapted to shape the hollow fibre. The shaped fibre is then cooled in the extrusion head to a temperature so that non-equilibrium liquid-liquid phase separation takes place to form a bi-continuous matrix of the polymer and solvent in which the polymer and solvent form two intermingled separate phases of large interfacial surface area. Finally, the solvent is removed from the polymer. The extrusion head for forming the above-mentioned polymeric, porous hollow fibre has an elongated body (17, 18) defining an axial passageway (11) for receiving a lumen-forming fluid (14) and a first annular passage (12) therearound for receiving the molten mixture (15) from which the hollow fibre (21) is formed. A second annular passageway (13) is radially outward of the first annular passageway (12) and receives a coating fluid (16). A third annular passageway (19) receives a cooling fluid and has means (20) for directing the cooling fluid towards the outer surface of the coating fluid (16). The porous polymeric material of the fibre produced by the above-mentioned process has a lacey or filamentous structure consisting of a plurality of polymer strands connected together at spaced apart locations along each strand.

Abstract: On an armoured combat vehicle (10) with a turret (12) for the crew, a lifting device (20) is preferably designed as a two-part articulated arm (22, 23), the upper arm (22) being telescopic. The two combat stages (42, 43) arranged at the upper end of the telescopic arm (22) are each partially or completely movable about the three space axes. The lifting device (20) is so designed that the combat stages (42, 43) remain fully operational even in the lowered transport position of the telescopic arm (22). By means of additional stages (52, 53) in the region of the articulation (24) of the lifting device (20), the combat capacity of the combat vehicle (10) can be further increased. The possibility of controlling all the combat stages (42, 43, 52, 53) independently of one another allows a plurality of targets on the ground and/or in the air to be combatted simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Title: Plug with viscous filler material

Granted: 1993-02-24
Abstract: For the protection of sleeper bolts 4 against corrosion, the plugs 2 for anchoring the sleeper bolts in the sleeper 1 are filled before track installation - usually already during manufacture - with a corrosion-protecting viscous filler material 3. The incompressibility of such filler materials 3, which have the characteristics of a high-viscosity liquid, can produce high forces in the plugs 2, acting perpendicularly to the sleeper axis, during sudden mechanical screwing-in of the sleeper bolts 4, which forces can split the sleeper. In order to prevent this, it is proposed to use as a corrosion protection agent filler materials 3 which are interspersed with cavities or pores. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Procedure and apparatus for controlling a hydraulic elevator during approach to a landing, in which the speed of the elevator and the temperature of the hydraulic fluid are measured. The deceleration point is corrected on the basis of the speed and temperature information. The elevator passes a deceleration flag (13a, 13b) while approaching a landing. At temperatures exceeding a given reference temperature, the normal deceleration point is shifted from the leading edge of the deceleration flag (13a,13b) to its trailing edge and the actual deceleration point is delayed in relation to the trailing edge of the flag depending on the elevator speed and oil temperature. At temperatures below the given reference temperature, deceleration occurs from the leading edge without delay. <IMAGE>
