Abstract: A high solids polymerization process for producing a water-soluble polymer wherein a mixture of exothermically polymerizable material in water is cooled to produce a cold syrup or crystalline slurry of the polymerizable material in a polymerizable material/water solution and said syrup or slurry is initiated to polymerization wherein the reaction is controlled by absorbing the exothermic heat of polymerization employing the sensible heat and/or the latent heat of fusion of the cooled syrup or slurry as a heat sink. This polymerization process is capable of being carried out in a batch as well as a continuous process.

Abstract: A process for identifying disks and automatically configuring a disk drive system to any one of a variety of disk patterns as embedded in firmware in a controller of a disk drive system. The process distinguishes between embedded servo and nonembedded servo disks by searching for servo patterns on the disk. Distinction between high and low density type disks is made by reading the disks at different data rates. After the type of disk is determined, a controller is enabled to set the disk drive system in the proper mode for that type of disk. The process also enables the controller to find the disk format values on the disk, or provides the standard values for the particular type of disk if the information is not located on the disk.

Abstract: Signal sets are created from available amplitude and phase modulations by indexing ordered subspaces. The subspaces need not be limited to the class of subspaces known as binary subspaces. The resultant signal sets, for a preselected power and bandwidth, are widely separated and unlikely to be confused by the effects of channel noise. Such signals can be in either finite block or convolutional form, depending on the natural format of the desired transmission. Further according to the invention are basic apparatus for encoding and modulating as well as demodulating and decoding a signal in accordance with the invention. Specifically, a method is provided for decoding that incorporates a specific type of decoding/demodulation techniques which develops accurate estimates of the information from the received signal in a computationally efficient manner and which permits high speed operation using soft-decision decoders.

Abstract: An intelligent query system is disclosed which operates in a personal computer (12) and which can query a mainframe computer (10) and its database. The system acts as a front end processor for the mainframe computer data­base (26) by, interactively with a user, building a query for a search with a parser that interprets the user's natural language domain limited query using a general purpose dictionary (16) and a replaceable domain (18) dictionary. If the query generated is sufficiently limited or narrow, an abbreviated database (22) located in the personal computer (12) can provide the answer without occupying the mainframe computer (10). If the query is broader in scope, the query is answered by the mainframe computer (10). During query formulation, the system offers guidance through expert system (42) feedback helping the user to clarify and refine the query and allows the user to define new words.

Abstract: Very potent, stable, odorless, and phenol-free virucidal solutions are active at high dilution when used for surface decontamination of animate and inanimate objects. The virucidal compositions described are efficacious in a matter of minutes against both the lipophilic and the more resistant hydrophilic viruses. The three active ingredients in these virucidal compositions are the glutaraldehyde monomer in equilibrium with its hydrates and polymers, hydrogen-bonded glycol molecules to eliminate aldehydes odor, and an anionic surfactant of the alkyl sulfate, alkyl sulfonate, alcohol sulfate or alkyl aryl sulfonate type. A preferred anionic surfactant would be the Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), which exhibits strong cidal synergism against the Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 when mixed at a concentration as low as 0.0005% in diluted glutaraldehyde aqueous solutions (0.0025%). Improved virucidal killing at higher dilutions of the same formula were observed with the more resistant Coxsackie B viruses. Because of the low concentration of active ingredients, these solutions exhibit a very low toxicity, making them suitable for topical applications as antiseptics.
