Abstract: Provided herein is a process for producing methanol which was developed to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide which is responsible for global warming. The process involves the steps of generating steam by the use of nuclear heat of a high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor (10), decomposing the steam into hydrogen by means of a steam electrolyzer (20), and synthesizing methanol from this hydrogen and carbon dioxide obtained from a carbon dioxide source. The process also involves the steps of converting carbon dioxide and hydrogen into carbon monoxide and steam by means of a reverse shift reactor (53), forming hydrogen and carbon monoxide of almost the same composition as the conventional one, and reacting said hydrogen and carbon monoxide into methanol by means of a methanol synthesis column (56). The process permits the use of an existing methanol production facility. The process may be modified such that the gasified gas composed of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen is mixed with hydrogen gas generated by the steam electrolyzer (20), and the resulting mixed gas is converted into methanol. Also, a power generating plant is provided in which oxygen enriched air, generated by the steam electrolyzer (20) using nuclear heat of the high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor (10), is used as combustion air.

Abstract: The stabilisation of high alkaline proteases in detergents and cleaners against the destabilising action of anionic surfactants is described. They are stabilised by using microorganisms transformed by mutated DNA sequences. The DNA sequences are obtained by starting from DNA sequences which code for high alkaline protease, modifying these DNA sequences in particular positions by directed mutations in such a way that the codon in which the mutation is located now codes for an amino acid which is different from the original amino acid and has a voluminous and/or ionic amino-acid residue.

Abstract: A write laser power setting device for setting a write laser power for writing data on a recording medium (6), includes first and second oscillators (1) and (2) for producing carrier signals having high frequencies f1 and f2. The carrier signals are added with each other to produce a sum signal which is applied to a laser driver (4) for producing a laser drive signal (Sa). The power of the laser drive signal (Sa) is changed to various levels. Using the laser drive signal (Sa), write/read head (8) writes test signals at preselected areas on the recording medium (6) such that different writing power levels are applied to different preselected area, respectively. After writing the test signals, the write/read head (8) reads the recorded test signals. From the read signal, unwanted signal having a frequency f1-f2 is filtered, and the level of the unwanted signal is detected and stored. A minimum level of the stored levels is selected, and a preselected area at which the minimum level reading is obtained is detected. Then, the writing laser power is set at a writing power level corresponding to the level used for writing the test signal in the detected preselected area.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for providing while drilling information on a subterranean geologic formation (28) includes a drilling rig (12) and a rotary drill bit (18) attached to the drilling rig (12) for providing seismic waves as it drills in the earth (16). Geophones (20) are spaced from the rotary drill bit (18) in the earth (16) and receive in direct seismic wave paths (26) and seismic wave paths (30) reflected from the subterranean geologic formation (28) the seismic waves provided by the drill bit (18). A reference sensor (24) is located on the drilling rig (12). The seismic signals sensed by the reference sensor (24) and by the geophones (20) are cross-correlated to separate the drill bit generated signals from interference signals by combining the reference signals and the signals received by the geophones (20). The cross-correlated reference signals and the signals received by the geophones (20) are separated into a first group of the drill bit generated seismic signals travelling to the geophones (20) in direct paths and a second group of the drill bit generated seismic signals travelling to the geophones (20) in paths reflected from the subterranean geologic formation (28). Means (37) are provided connected to the cross-correlated reference signals and seismic wave sensor signals for attenuating interference signals generated by said drilling rig from the seismic wave sensor signals based on moveout differences between the interference signals and the drill bit generated seismic wave sensor signals. The cross-correlation provides a domain where drill bit generated energy can be distinguished from interference. The two groups of the drill bit generated seismic signals can then be used to image the subsurface seismically so as to improve the chances of discovering hydrocarbons. The technique is applicable to land operations and to drilling from an offshore platform over water.
