Abstract: The residual chlorine content of a polyolefin-substituted carboxylic acylating
agent formed by a chlorine-assisted reaction of a polyolefin and an α, β-unsaturated
carboxylic reactant can be reduced by heating the polyolefin-substituted carboxylic
acylating agent having a residual chlorine content in the presence of an α, β-unsaturated
carboxylic reactant, optionally in the further presence of a sulfonic acid.
Residual chlorine content can be further reduced by using, in the reaction of the
polyolefin and α, β-unsaturated carboxylic reactant, a high speed mixer provided with
a dual pitch blade.

Abstract: According to a feature of the present invention, a drop-on-demand ink jet printing system for delivering droplets of selectable-color ink to a receiver (16) includes a print head (12) having at least one ink ejecting chamber (18). Each ejecting chamber has an associated nozzle opening (14) through which ink droplets are delivered to the receiver. A conduit (32) is in fluid communication with each of the ejecting chambers and a plurality of sources (40,41,42,48) of color liquid ink. Each source contains liquid ink of a different color and communicates with the conduit. A source (34) of colorless liquid ink also communicates with the conduit to provide a flow of colorless liquid ink into the conduit for delivery into the ejecting chambers. A flow controller is adapted to selectably meter ink from the sources of color liquid ink into the conduit between the source of colorless liquid ink and the ejecting chambers, whereby ink slugs of selectable color are prepared in the conduit by controlled delivery of selected amounts of different color inks. The slugs are separated one from another along the conduit by colorless liquid ink.

Abstract: In an OFDM receiver the complex values of predetermined pilot sub-carriers
are compared with expected values to determine pilot distortion values for
those sub-carriers. The phases of the differences between successive values
are determined, and then the rate at which these phases change with respect
to sub-carrier frequency is determined. Data distortion estimates for other
sub-carriers can be calculated by interpolation of the pilot distortion values
such that the data distortion estimates have a phase which substantially
complies with the determined rate.

Abstract: An approach for providing stateless compression is disclosed. A message (such as an
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) GET request message or a Domain Name Service
(DNS) message) is received from a host (119). A stateful compressor (401) is initialized with
a prescribed sequence to yield a primed state. The message is input into a stateful compressor
(401), which outputs a compressed message based upon the primed state. The stateless
compression scheme has particular applicability to networks with high latency - e.g., a
satellite network (200).

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a roll-baler of a
construction, in which the rotational movement of its rear
chamber of the bale chamber for its opening and closing is done
smoothly, while its lock mechanism is designed to be simple, so
that the bale-shaping material of a short length may be fed into
the bale chamber 4 through its inlet port "a". 
     In this type of the roll-baler, the bale chamber 4 is mounted
on the machine body 1 at its position, where the inlet port "a" of
the bale chamber 4 is open frontward, and the terminal end part
3a of the transporting conveyor 3 is so made as to its conveying
surface forming an inclined surface "c" which is downwardly
slanted, the inclined surface "c" being disposed at a position to
constitute a part of the peripheral wall of the bale chamber 4, in
opposition to the lower half side of the peripheral surface of the
roll bale R to be formed within the bale chamber at the place
where the inlet port "a" of the bale chamber 4 is present.

Abstract: The method for protected transmission between two nodes (1,2) of an optical communication network, where the nodes are linked by a bidirectional main line and a bidirectional relief line, comprises the steps of transmitting the protected data on the main line, transmitting the supplementary data on the relief line, and following the detection of a loss of the main-line signal in reception at instants (51,53) by the nodes (1,2), respectively, the interruption of the data emission at instants (52,54) on the main line by the respective node, and the emission start of the protected data on the relief line at instants (55,56) by that node. That is both nodes (1,2) can switch the emission of the protected data to the relief line.  The detection of a loss of the signal is implemented by detecting a loss of the clock signal. The interruption of the emission on the main line comprises the extinction of laser at the node which emits on the main line. The step of interrupting the data emission on the main line and the emission start on the relief line is followed by the steps of sending a test signal at instants (57,58) on the main line by the respective node, and sending a reception acknowledgment signal at instant (60) on the main line when the node receives the test signal. When the reception acknowledgement signal is received, the node interrupts the emission of the protected data on the relief line and emits the protected data on the main line. The method also comprises the step of sending a confirmation signal on the main line by a node on receiving the reception acknowledgment signal. The test signal, the reception acknowledgment signal, and the confirmation signal are in the form of pulses distinguished by the length.
