Title: Tartaric acid monoesters of optically active alkanolamines,a process for their preparation and their use
Inventor: LINDNER WOLFGANG
IPC: C07C215/08
Filed: 1984-08-10
Abstract: For the analytical and preparative separation of the optical isomers of optically active alkanolamines into their optically pure antipodes a new resolution method is presented which involves an ester formation of the alkanolamines with optically pure and symmetrically O,O disubstituted (R,R)- or (S,S)-tartaric acids. The derivitization reactions are carried out in aprotic solvents and the primary and secondary functions are blocked via ion-pair formations with strong acids, e.g. dichloroacetic acid. The tartaric acid anhydrides are predominantly used as reagents but other ester formation methods are also practicable. The mixture of the diastereomeric alkanolamine tartaric acid monoesters are separable into their optically active and pure isomers by various chromotographic separation techniques, e.g. straight or reverse phase LC, but also by extraction methods e.g. Soxhlet extraction. The optically pure parent alkanolamine isomers can be obtained by ester hydrolysis, with high yield, from the optically pure fractions of the alkanolamine tartaric acid monoesters.

Title: Data format for high bit rate wdm transmission
Inventor: TURITSYN SERGEI
IPC: H04J14/08
Filed: 2004-04-16
Granted: 2006-11-01
Abstract: The invention includes a method for optically encoding data for transmission over a wavelength division multiplexed optical communications system comprising the steps of: generating a periodic series of optical pulses defining a series of time slots, wherein one pulse appears in each time slot; filtering the pulses to produce carrier pulses extending over more than one time slot; and modulating the pulses with data for transmission. Preferably, the filter gives rise to the pulses having a temporal profile with a minimum in the centre of each of the time slots adjacent to the time slot for that pulse. The resulting data format allows for greater spectral efficiency in a WDM optical transmission system as compared with conventional RZ and NRZ data formats.

Title: Incremental depth measurement for real-time calculation of dip and azimuth
Inventor: KURKOSKI PHILIP L
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2006-02-07
Granted: 2009-07-22
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for logging an earth formation and acquiring subsurface information wherein a logging tool is conveyed in borehole to obtain parameters of interest. The parameters of interest obtained may be density, acoustic, magnetic or electrical values as known in the art. The parameters of interest are acquired with a plurality of sensors. For time based image data, the time separation values between signals acquired from separate sensors for individual subsurface features are determined. The time separation values may be determined using correlation or other methods illustrated herein or as known in the art. Using known sensor spatial separations and time separation values a drill rate is determined and an incremental depth for the subsurface feature is defined. The geometries of subsurface features in incremental depth relative to the well bore may be accurately determined, including extremely accurate dip and azimuth structural information relative to the borehole.

Title: Gasifying beverage during dispensing
Inventor: HEDDERICK JOHN BARCLAY
IPC: B67D1/12
Filed: 1985-03-11
Granted: 1988-02-24
Abstract: A beverage dispensing system and distributing process with such a system has a flexible bag 1 containing the beverage which may have carbon dioxide dissolved therein. The beverage is drawn off through a pipe 3 (assisted by a pump 8) for dispensing through nozzle 5 having a tap 6. Carbon dioxide, nitrogen (or other inert gas) and/or air gases are introduced into the beverage through a passage 11 by way of a fixed orifice restrictor 12 and a non-return valve 13. The pressure of the gas which is introduced is adjustable at 14 and baffles 15 can provide turbulence in the beverage during dispensing to promote the dissolution of the introduced gas therein. The facility to introduce the gas or gases permits the beverage in the bag 1 to have a low content of carbon dioxide so that the bag collapses under atmospheric pressure while the beverage as dispensed is additionally gasified for the formation of a froth or head.
