Abstract: A process for the production of terephthalic acid comprises subjecting polyalkylene terephthalate to hydrolysis using a ratio of water to polyalkylene terephthalate in the mixture prior to heating and carrying out the reaction under conditions such that, at the reaction temperature, a significant proportion of the terephthalic acid produced is in the solid phase. The degree of recrystallisation necessary to recover the terephthalic acid produced is thereby reduced. The reaction can with advantage be carried out with alkylene glycol present in the mixture prior to hydrolysis.

Abstract: In the self-testing process, test samples are taken to the store, or rather its storage cells, and written into them, whereafter the storage cells are read out and defective storage cells are detected from the test results read out. The test algorithm for generating the test samples is produced in such a way that, in an initial stage (PH1), it stores logic values of one kind ("O" or "1") bitwise in the storage elements of the storage cells and then sets a pause. In a further stage (PH3), each storage cell is read out during a test cycle with a running address sequence and then a pseudo random test sample is written into the storage cell. The test cycle is repeated until a desired degree of fault recognition is reached. This store test algorithm makes it possible to provide a macrocell with a store and additional self-testing circuits which can easily be parametrised and automatically reset; it is of universal application and needs only a short test time.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electromagnetic induction heater in which magnetic flux diffusing members (4) are fixed to at least two ends of an iron core (1) wrapped with an electric wire to form a coil (3), and a metal plate (5) is connected to the magnetic flux diffusing members (4) to heat a wide area of the metal plate (5) uniformly. By supplying a commercial low frequency alternating power source of 50-60Hz to the coil (3), a magnetic flux is generated in the iron core (1). The magnetic flux, flowing in the magnetic flux diffusing members (4), is diffused in a longitudinal direction. Diffused magnetic flux flows through the metallic plate (5) to generate Joule heat over the plate. Therefore, the entire surface of the metal plate (5) is heated uniformly. Either a single-phase or three-phase alternating power source is used in this invention. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Porous bodies are produced which are suitable for use as supports for catalysts, including living cells, such as bacteria. The bodies have a significantly large average pore diameter of about 0.5 to 100 microns, (i.e. 5,000 to 1,000,000  ANGSTROM ) and a total pore volume of about 0.1 to 1.5 cc/g with the large pores contributing a pore volume of from about 0.1 to 1.0 cc/g. The bodies are made by preparing a mixture of ultimate particles of bound clay, one or more optional ingredients such as inorganic binders, extrusion or forming aids, burnout agents, or a forming liquid, such as water. In a preferred embodiment, the ultimate particles are formed by spray drying. The porous bodies with bacteria or microorganisms supported thereon are used as biocatalysts for the decontamination of aqueous waste streams or contaminated vapors.

Abstract: In the Specification of our International Patent Application PCT/GB 91/00950 there is described and claimed a method of securing against lateral motion two bodies held in face to face asperity contact, thereby to make a join between the two bodies, in which methods there is inserted into the interface between the two bodies a material that on minimal initial lateral relative motion of the two surfaces promotes rapid but controllable 'galling' between the two surfaces, this galling binding the surfaces against further such motion. However, this method requires the two surfaces to fit well one to the other, and without such a good fit the resultant join may not be entirely satisfactory. The present invention's proposed solution to this gap problem is to use a metal-particle-containing composition comprising the gall enhancing agent loaded with a myriad of small metal particles, which composition can be packed into the gap, and will flow to accommodate a wide range of gap sizes and also to accommodate out-of-round distortion. The composition can take various physical forms, typically those of a free-flowing powder, a viscous liquid, or a stiff paste (and the powders have an additional use in the preparation of preforms for the manufacture of sintered parts).
