Abstract: Process for preparing optically active 2-piperazinecarboxylic acid derivatives, particularly S-enantiomer thereof, in high yield and high optical purity on industrial scale. As the optical resolving agents, easily accessible sulfonamides derived from selected optically active amino acids, such as N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine, N-tosyl-D-phenylglycine, N-tosyl-L-alanine or N-tosyl-L-valine, give excellent results. These resolving agents are stable and easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused. Resolved 2-piperazinecarboxylic acid derivatives are preferably isolated as 4-t-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) derivatives. Diastereomeric salts (an example being shown below) formed as the intermediates of resolution are novel.
       
 [In the formula "Ar" stands for a phenyl or naphthyl group which may be substituted with one to three C1-C6 alkyl groups, halogen atoms, nitro or alkoxy groups; and n=0 or 1.]

Abstract: A prefabricated panel for buildings and construction adapted to be interconnected by mortise-and-tenon coupling with other panels, comprising on at least one of its faces a series of projections (2, 7) followed by tenon couplings (3, 8) and/or mortise couplings (4, 9) in form of protuberances and recesses, at least one of the walls of said protuberances or recesses being resilient and thus facilitating a snug force fit between them when conveniently opposing the faces of two panels, the height of said projections (2, 7) being such that it determines a separation between the opposite faces of the two panels which forms a hollow chamber. The projections (2, 7) with tenon couplings (3, 8) and the mortise couplings (4, 9) are distributed at such a distance to each other that they offer interstitial gaps (11) through the free hollow space between panels. The interstitial gaps (11) of said hollow chamber allow to arrange therethrough different ductings and wirings in all directions. According to the proposed system several elements (18, 19, 20, 22) are provided for the positioning, fixing and support of said panels at their flanks or perimeter of support or joining on or with the structure of the building or construction.

Abstract: An apparatus and method uses a pair of transducers, such as lasers, mounted on the tire/wheel assembly of a moving vehicle for measuring the actual angles of camber experienced by the vehicle tire as the vehicle moves along an actual road surface. The pair of lasers are mounted in a predetermined horizontal spaced relationship on a bracket mounted on and extending perpendicularly outwardly from a non-rotating hub mounted on the tire/wheel assembly. The reflected laser beams from the pair of lasers are continually measured as the vehicle moves along the road surface. The reflected beams determine the change in spacings of the two lasers above the road surface from which can be calculated the angles of camber continuously imparted on the tire/wheel assembly. This data is collected and stored in a computer located in the vehicle and captures the tire's operating camber angles with respect to an actual road surface when used on a particular vehicle. The stored data is later supplied to tire test equipment at a remote test facility to duplicate the actual road camber experienced on the test tire on other test tires at the test facility to simulate the real-world environment for a particular tire on a particular vehicle without repeating the more costly tests on the actual moving vehicle at a remote test track.

Abstract: An electrical machine, such as an electric motor, generator or torquer-generator, includes a relatively rotatable cylindrical armature (46) and magnetic pole structure (39) separated by an annular gap (44) into which a surrounding fluid may flow during operation of the machine. In order to prevent the build-up of deposited solid material (48) in the gap between the components, one of the components is provided at its surface with a narrow elongate projection (47) which extends helically along and around the surface. The height of the projection (47) is slightly less than the gap (44) between the components so that it remains out of contact with the surface of the other component so as not to frictionally engage it and interfere with relative rotation between the components.
