Filed: 2001-12-19
Granted: 2005-08-03
Abstract: A method for producing a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVOH) comprises: supplying into a second reactor a solution containing the copolymer that is saponified partially with an alkali catalyst under a predetermined pressure in a first reactor; and saponifying further the partially-saponified copolymer in the second reactor under a pressure higher than the predetermined pressure in the first reactor. According to the method, an EVOH having a high saponification degree can be produced efficiently with a small amount of alkali catalyst. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Network traffic that is used to communicate multicast and broadcast messages are separated into subgroups with respect to the multicast and broadcast messages. In one embodiment a hashing function is used to separate target devices into subgroups. For example, a device identifier can be used by a hash function to determine which subgroup the device belongs to. Messages can be sent to the different subgroups at different times to manage network traffic, or the devices can reply to messages based on their respective subgroupings to manage network traffic.

Abstract: A control system for operating and integrating automated applications in a small building environment. The control system includes a plurality of application controllers that control the operation of various automated applications, such as HVAC, lighting, access control and security. The control system further includes a local control interface that integrates and coordinates/controls operation of the various application controllers. The local control interface is preprogrammed with profiles for each of the different types of application controllers designed to operate with the system, but also is able to acquire new profiles from new or custom application controllers that are unknown to the local control interface at the time of installation. The profiles include control variable definitions for each of the control variables supported by the corresponding application controller. This information permits self-configuration of the application controllers. The control interface and application controllers communicate with explicit messages using explicit addressing. The structure of the explicit messages is preferably preprogrammed into the control interface and the application controllers.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for disinfecting a microtome and cryostat is provided. The cryostat comprises a chamber, a pump communicating with the chamber, an ozone generator and an ozone destroyer. A microtome is located in the chamber. Oxygen molecules in ambient air are converted to ozone that is injected into the cryostat chamber, disinfecting the chamber and the microtome. After disinfection, the air and ozone present in the chamber is directed to an ozone destroying unit that eliminates any remaining ozone. This eliminates the risk of ozone exposure to nearby operators and minimizes damage to the cryostat and microtome from extended ozone contact.
