Title: Process for hydrocracking supercritical gas extracts of carbonaceous material
Inventor: URQUHART DONALD BREMNER
IPC: C10G1/00
Filed: 1982-10-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for hydrocracking SGE of carbonaceous material to produce light distillate, including chemical feedstocks and transport fuels. A mixture of crushed coal and a solvent is fed to an extractor 1 wherein the solvent is heated and pressurised to form a supercritical gas. Carbonaceous material is extracted from the coal into the gas. The unextracted coal, including ash and some carbonaceous material, is separated from the SGE in solution in the supercritical solvent in a separation stage 2. The SGE in the solvent is maintained in the supercritical state and fed to a hydrocracking stage 3 wherein it is mixed with excess hydrogen. After hydrocracking, the SGE in supercritical solution is passed through a pressure let-down valve 4 to a distillation stage 5 wherein the product of the hydrocracking stage 3 is separated into gases, solvent for recycling, light distillate and material boiling above 350 DEG C. The light distillate may be further treated to produce transport fuels. <IMAGE>

Title: Edge bonding of sheet material
Inventor: STARK SVEN OLOF SOREN
IPC: B31B50/64
Filed: 1982-10-05
Abstract: When a packaging container is formed by sealing an area of sheet material to the edge of another area of sheet material, the L-joint or T-joint so formed is sometimes liable to rupture when subjected to blows or strain. According to this invention that danger is reduced or eliminated by moulding a zone (4) of an end closure panel (3) abutting on the container wall edge to which it is jointed so that it forms a flange resting against and bonded to the face of said wall (1). The flange may be provided with a lip (6) projecting from a short length of the edge of said closure panel.

Patent GB-2122782-A (GB)
Title: A machine translation system
Inventor: SAKAKI HIROSHI
IPC: G06F17/28
Filed: 1983-05-20
Abstract: An automatic translation system obtains a sentence in a target language from the tree expression of a source language sentence. The pattern in a dictionary which coincides with a partial structure, including the highest node, of a chosen tree fragment is selected, the selected pattern having a production rule attached to it. The production rule takes "extraction information" which is composed of information in the source language tree fragment concerning the part outside of and under the above mentioned partial structure and "instruction information" which is attached to the highest node of the tree fragment, as input information, and generates a tree fragment in target language corresponding to the source language tree fragment and also "instruction information" to be attached to the border nodes of the partial structure and other parts in the source language tree fragment. The target language tree fragment obtained is memorised and the partial structure is erased from the source language tree fragment excepting the border nodes after attaching the "instruction information" to the border nodes. This processing is repeated for all partial structures and is terminated when all the tree fragments are erased. <IMAGE>

Title: Preparing citrate esters
Inventor: HULL EZEKIEL H
IPC: C08K5/11
Filed: 1985-06-11
Abstract: Citrate esters are formed utilizing organic titanates as a catalyst allowing excess alcohol to be removed. The hydroxy group is then acylated. Four citrate esters have been found which provide advantageous plasticizing properties to PVC compositions which include superior toxicity test results and superior soapy water extraction test results. The four citrate esters are: acetyltri-n-(hexyl/octyl/decyl) citrate, and acetyltri-n-(octyl/decyl) citrate. Articles formed from the PVC plasticized mixtures are extremely useful in the medical or health care field as they demonstrate a low order of toxicity.

IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 1986-07-23
Abstract: A brake actuator includes a piston and cylinder assembly (16, 13); an adjustable abutment means (22, 23) to limit return movement of the piston (16); free travel means to allow limited free travel of the piston 16 under hydraulic actuation before adjustment of the abutment means (22, 23) will take place; and an adjustable setting means (36, 37) to set the amount of free travel; part of said adjustable abutment means (23) and the adjustable setting means (36, 37) form a sub-assembly and are held together by retainer means (56, 53). The adjustable abutment means includes a screw member (22) and a screw threaded nut (23), the screw threading constituting the free travel means, and the setting means comprises a non-rotatable sleeve (36) which on manual actuation of plunger (37), after assembly but before insertion of pin (62), moves the sleeve (36) axially into engagement with the nut so as to set the amount of free travel. Resetting of the piston is achieved by rotating the nut via a one-way drive between the nut and strut (91). Spring 25 allows rotation of the nut during adjustment of the abutment means to take up brake wear, but prevents rotation of the nut when the piston returns to its rest position. <IMAGE>
