Title: Process for producing pitch-based carbon fiber
Inventor: KAWAMURA TOSHIFUMI
IPC: D01F9/145
Filed: 1992-07-17
Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing pitch-based carbon fiber which comprises melt spinning an optically isotropic pitch or a mesophase pitch to form pitch fiber; subjecting the pitch fiber to liquid-phase oxidative polymerization in a solvent e.g. acetic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst such as strong inorganic acids and a crosslinking selected from formalin, paraformaldehyde or tioxane agent to form infusibilized fiber; and carbonizing the infusiblized fiber. The above process enables low temperature and short time infusibilizing treatment of optically isotropic pitch fiber having a low softening point which has heretofore been difficult because of failure to preserve the original fibrous shape during infusibilization, and also efficient production of mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers as well as optically isotropic pitch-based carbon fibers each being improved in physical properties.

Abstract: An autoloader, capable of loading regardless of gun elevation, includes arcuate guide tracks, mounted for movement in azimuth with the gun and having a radius of curvature centered on the gun elevation axis, which serve to mount a trolley for guided movement between a lower magazine position and an upper gun loading position. A compact rammer, mounted by the trolley, extracts a shell from a magazine while in the trolley magazine position and controls the shell during transfer to the trolley gun loading position where the shell is rammed into the gun breech. In one disclosed embodiment, the guide tracks are mounted to a weapon pod of an exterior, turret mounted gun for movement in azimuth and elevation with the gun. In an alternative embodiment, the guide tracks are fixedly mounted in vertical orientation between the turret roof and the turret floor, and the rammer is pivotally mounted to the trolley to access shells from magazines variously located in the turret, the tank hull and the turret bustle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for recognizing a script written character. 
     The character is entered using character entering means and digitised by appropriate means. The digitised character is then stored in, for example, a memory. Codes representing topological features of the character are extracted from the character, then the topological features of the character are compared with a set of reference topological features stored in a memory, each of the set of reference characters corresponding with a specific script written character. A logic process is then performed to determine which of the set of reference features most closely corresponds to the topological features of the digitized character thereby identifying the script written character.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for oxygen-enriched combustion of a fuel in an industrial furnace in which a preheated primary oxidant from a heat exchanger and a fuel to be combusted are introduced into a combustion chamber and ignited, a secondary oxidant having an oxygen concentration in excess of the concentration of oxygen in air is introduced into the combustion chamber downstream of the flame, and the resulting combustion products are exhausted. In accordance with one embodiment, the secondary oxidant comprises preheated oxidant aspirated from the heat exchanger using industrial-grade oxygen, resulting in an oxygen-enriched mixture being injected into the combustion chamber downstream of the flame. As a result, NO x  emissions are reduced without adverse effects on the overall furnace operation.

Abstract: An electrochemical sensor adapted for use in the electrochemical analysis of liquids. The sensor includes a cell assembly having a liquid flow control chamber, sensing chamber and liquid exit chamber. Liquids to be measured are pumped into the liquid flow control chamber where any turbulence in the liquid is dampened. The non-turbulent liquid is passed from the liquid flow control chamber to the sensing chamber. The sensing chamber includes a working electrode and a counter-electrode. The non-turbulent liquid is passed from the sensing chamber to the liquid exit chamber where it is contacted with a reference electrode. The liquid then exits the sensor. The sensor is well-suited for use in the electrochemical analysis of plating bath solutions where sub-milliampere type AC and DC voltammetric measurements are required in order to generate electrochemical spectra which are indicative of constituents present in the solution.

Abstract: In a digital video tape recorder which employs discrete cosine transformation and variable length coding for compressing the data to be recorded, the necessity of an additional signal line for transmission of information incidental to the principal data is eliminated. The digital video tape recorder samples an NTSC signal at a ratio of 4:1:1 or 4:2:0, transforms the sample data for each block of 8 x 8 data by DCT, encodes the transformed data into variable length codes so that 30 DCT blocks constitute a buffering unit having a fixed length to compress the data, and segmentally records the video signal obtained by the data compression divisionally in 10 tracks for each frame. In the digital video tape recorder, the frequency of a signal processing clock signal used for data compression is selected to be equal to 192/143 times the frequency of 13.5 MHz used for sampling the original analog component video signal when converting the same to digital form. A first blanking area (BLK-1) for transmission of the additional information is provided for each DCT block, and a second blanking area (BLK-2) is provided for each track for obtaining a desired processing margin in track units upon variable speed reproduction and the like.

Abstract: A system management mode address correction system for a computer provides correct address values on the address bus when the computer is in system management mode. Conventionally, bit 20 of the microprocessor's address outputs may be masked by asserting the FORCE A20 signal. The computer system also operates in a system management mode, which requires all of the address bits to be available for proper access to the system management interrupt vector. When the computer is in system management mode, the computer's microprocessor asserts a system management interrupt active (SMIACT*) signal. This signal is provided to a circuit which also receives the FORCE A20 signal. While the SMIACT signal is deactivated, the control circuit provides the true FORCE A20 signal to the computer system. When an SMI occurs, the SMIACT signal is activated and the FORCE A20 signal is disabled. As a result, the address generated by the microprocessor is asserted on the address bus.
