Abstract: A method of processing waste is disclosed wherein the municipal solid waste is segregated and processed to recover reusable rubber, metal, plastic, glass and the remaining organic portion of the waste stream is used to make ethanol and other chemicals. One process utilizes a pretreatment step with dilute sulfuric acid to reduce the heavy metal content of the cellulosic component of the municipal solid waste which can inhibit the fermentation of the sugars obtained from such waste. In another, the heavy metal content of the cellulosic component of municipal solid waste is removed via an ionic exchange process, after hydrolysis with sulfuric acid. A process for an economical, energy efficient production of ethanol from municipal solid waste is also disclosed.

Abstract: A perforating blade and signature having a unitary blade (12) that is very narrow in width in proportion to its length, with a cutting edge (16) along one longitudinal side. The cutting edge (16) comprises a combination of a number of spaced-apart straight (12) and angled (20) sections arranged so that the angled sections (20) angle inwardly toward a center point (18) on the perforating blade and along a single side of the cutting edge only. In one embodiment the pattern starts with a single long cutting tooth in the center (18) of the blade followed outwardly from the center on both sides with a repeating pattern of three angled teeth followed by a short straight tooth and so forth. The angled teeth (20) are all angled to the same side of the blade so that the resulting fold line (26) has cuts only on one side (29) of the fold line. The angled cuts result in ties (28) that twist easily, and that, therefore, result in fold lines (26) that fold cleanly without gusseting or binding. The angled cuts and teeth can be straight or curved so long as they are angled toward the approximate middle of the blade and are formed on one side of the blade only.

Chacune des espèces prédéterminées de composés de test est préparée avec une certitude absolue parce que la présente technique n'emploie pas la division aléatoire des supports à phase solide. Au contraire, le procédé est basé sur la division par étapes d'une matrice continue de support à phase solide avant chaque étape de synthèse dans laquelle plus d'un type de sous-unité est ajouté. Des exemples non exhaustifs de matrices de supports à phase solide comprennent les membranes en polypropylène, les membranes en polytétrafluoropropylène et le fil de coton. Les bibliothèques combinatoires obtenues à l'aide de la présente technique sont également décrites.

Abstract: A computer system according to the present invention comprises in a preferred embodiment a memory, a processor, an input and an output. The computer system receives part data and forecast data for each part in an inventory, including the number of units in the inventory, the cost, and the forecast unit demand. The computer system uses the part data and forecast data for each part to optimize the number of units of each part in the inventory for a selected inventory investment or service level constraint. The computer system optimizes the number of units of each part in the inventory by determining the number of units for each part for which the marginal increase in the number of orders for the part filled from the inventory for each additional order stocked is equal to the marginal increase for every other part and for which either the inventory service level equals the service level constraint or the inventory investment equals the inventory investment constraint. The computer system then outputs a determined minimum unit replenishment quantity and a safety unit quantity for each part. The minimum unit replenishment quantities and the safety unit quantity are used to determine the number of units of each part used to resupply the inventory. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The recuperator has an inner tube, an outer tube and a heat-conducting intermediate tube (1). The wall of the intermediate tube bulges at various places over its length and round its circumference to produce outward (5) and inward (6) knobs.
