Abstract: A combustion chamber for combusting a substance includes a burner and at least three successively disposed parts including a primary chamber, a secondary chamber and an ash discharge chamber. The burner is associated with and conducts a first air flow to the primary chamber. The primary chamber has an inlet for conducting a second air flow for substoichiometric combustion of a substance to be combusted at a temperature below an ash softening point and without clinker flow. The secondary chamber has an inlet for conducting a third air flow for brief, intensive, complete combustion of the substance discharged from the primary chamber with clinker flow, and the secondary chamber has walls and a material lining the walls being resistant to fluid clinker. A process for combusting a substance being at least partially formed of combustible material includes feeding an air flow to the substance for substoichiometrically combusting the substance at a temperature below an ash softening point without clinker flow but with formation of a residue, and subsequently admixing a further air flow with the residue of the substoichiometric combustion for completely combusting the residue and forming flue gas and flowing ash. Prepared pyrolysis residue and incompletely burned gas may be discharged from a pyrolysis reactor as the at least partially combustible material made by low-temperature carbonization of trash in a system for thermal trash disposal.

Abstract: A process for the stereoselective synthesis of [R]- and [S]-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-1H-indole-3-acetonitriles comprises reacting racemic and 5-alkoxy-substituted (+/-)-1,3-dimethyloxindoles with a halogenated acetonitrile in the presence of a substituted N-benzyl cinchoninium, quinidinium, cinchonidinium, or quininium catalyst. The resulting alkylated oxindoles can be converted to primary amines by catalytic reduction in the presence of hydrogen gas. One of the primary amines, such as enantiomers of 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-5-methoxy-2H-indol-2-one, can be enriched by contact with a chiral tartaric acid in an amount sufficient to preferentially precipitate a salt of the chiral acid and one of the enantiomers. The product can be used in the synthesis of stereospecific forms of physostigmine and related compounds having pharmaceutical activity.

Title: Resistance welding apparatus

Abstract: Apparatus for welding longitudinal seams in can bodies includes a lower electrode wheel 10 mounted on an arm 18 and an upper electrode wheel 12 mounted on an arm 20. Metal Blanks bent into a tubular form are supplied to the nip between wheels 10,12. The apparatus also includes a transducer 40 for detecting vertical displacement of wheel 12, a pair of pick-ups 46,48 for detecting the rotational positions of wheels 12,10, and a single processing circuit. In order to determine the profile of one of the wheels 10,12, the output of transducer 40 is divided into a set of traces, each of which corresponds to a single rotation of the wheel. The traces are then averaged to produce an averaged trace, which represents the profile of the wheel. In order to determine weld thickness, the profile of each wheel, in turn, is subtracted from the output of transducer 40 to produce a corrected output which provides a good indication of weld thickness.

Abstract: A signal is amplified with a plurality of amplifiers (12-18), each amplifier having a reference port (22), a reference node (C) coupled to the reference port, and a signal port (22), and each amplifier being supplied by a power source (30-36) with operating potential with respect to the reference node that is coupled to the reference port of that amplifier. The amplifiers (12-18) are cascaded in a manner selected so that the output of a first amplifier (12) (which receives the signal to be amplified at its input port) drives the reference node (22) of a second amplifier (14), and the reference node (22) of the first amplifier (12) provides an input at the signal port (20) of the second amplifier (14), whereby the first and second amplifiers are directly coupled together to amplify the applied signal. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention relates to apparatus and methods for dispensing a series of pills in a prescribed order. Although a variety of dispensers are available the designs are inadequate to serve the needs of the patient by assuring the medication is administered in the prescribed sequence. A pill package (110) is disposed within the dispenser (100) and is locked in place and cannot be removed. A plunger (120) is provided to facilitate the expulsion of a pill from the pill package. The pill package (110) automatically advances to the next dispensing position immediately after the expulsion of the proper pill. A calendar indicator (130) is provided for designating the period the pills are to be taken. The indicator can be present to indicate a specific day the first pill is to be taken. The indicator can also be set by the user to locate any day of the week the first pill is to be taken.

Abstract: The invention consists of a device that demineralizes water by magnetization, in which the permanent magnets that are used to magnetize the water are subjected to the action of a form of inductive catalyt formed of a thin strip of micronized sulphur powder contained in a thin plastic envelope, through which an effect on the water is obtained that is equal to that of a magnet eight to ten times more powerful. The invention is also based on the fact that the efficiency of the magnets is increased by a further 15% if the inductive catalyst is formed of equal parts of sulphur, ion exchange resin, silica phosphate, and magnesium oxide, instead of sulphur only, and by a further 10% if the non-magnetizable metal tube subjected to the action of the magnets is square instead of circular in section. <IMAGE>

Abstract: On décrit un procédé pour le contrôle de la purge de l'air dans des freins hydrauliques avec lesquels la pression de freinage n'est pas appliquée au frein par le cylindre principal du frein mais par un système hydraulique séparé. Par intervalles, on applique une pression au frein en vue d'un contrôle pendant un temps d'ouverture déterminé. Cette opération peut s'effectuer aussi bien lorsque le véhicule est à l'arrêt que lorsqu'il se déplace, lors d'une opération normale de freinage. Ensuite, on calcule la température et la valeur de la pression appliquée. La valeur de la pression appliquée au niveau des freins (4) des roues est mesurée par un capteur de pression (8) déjà installé et la température est calculée selon un procédé décrit. La pression calculée est ensuite comparée à la valeur correspondante parmi un grand nombre de valeurs de pression de consigne Pij calculées et mises en mémoire précédemment, lesdites valeurs ayant été mises en mémoire en fonction de la température et, le cas échéant, du temps d'ouverture de la soupape tö.

Le circuit de commutation résonnant auxiliaire comprend deux dispositifs de commutation auxiliaires montés tête-bêche et couplés en série avec un circuit résonnant comprenant un inducteur et les condensateurs d'amortissement. Le temps de déclenchement et le temps de conduction des dispositifs de commutation principaux et auxiliaires sont commandés de manière à ajouter de l'énergie de suralimentation au fonctionement par résonance ceci permettant d'assurer que la tension de sortie de l'inverseur atteigne au moins les tensions d'alimentation positive et négative de l'inverseur au cours de chaque cycle de commutation par résonance. Il résulte de ceci que la commande effectue la commutation du pôle du convertissuer en n'entraînant pratiquement aucune perte de commutation.

Abstract: On a tightly coupled multiprocessor computer system, the multiple parallel regions of a multithreaded applications program (10) can execute simultaneously as multiple threads (threads 1, 2, and 3) on a plurality of processors (processor 1, 2, and 3). Furthermore, a plurality of multithreaded programs (10) may run simultaneously. The current invention uses an efficient system to schedule and reschedule processors to run these multiple threads. Scheduling is integrated at two levels: at the first level, processors are assigned processes (process 1-N); at the next level, processes are assigned threads (thread 1-N). Increased efficiency is achieved by this integration and also by the formation of processes with destructible context. It makes use of shared storage (15, Kernel) to indicate the process request level (24) and the control state for each parallel region.
