Inventor: MCATEE MICHAEL RICHARD
IPC: C07B61/00
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A process for preparing C9-alcohols comprises a) providing a C4-hydrocarbon stream comprising butene and butane; b) subjecting the C4-hydrocarbon stream to oligomerization over an olefin oligomerization catalyst and fractionating the resulting reaction mixture to give an octene-containing stream and a butene-depleted C4-hydrocarbon stream; c) subjecting the butene-depleted C4-hydrocarbon stream to steam reforming or partial oxidation to give carbon monoxide and hydrogen; d) hydroformylating the octene-containing stream by means of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a hydroformylation catalyst to form C9-aldehydes, where the carbon monoxide used and/or the hydrogen used originate at least in part from step c); and e) catalytically hydrogenating the C9-aldehydes by means of hydrogen. In a variant of the process, part of the butenes present in the C4-hydrocarbon stream are hydroformylated to form C5-aldehydes, these are subjected to an aldol condensation and the product of the aldol condensation is hydrogenated to form C10-alcohols. The process allows the C4-hydrocarbon stream used to be substantially utilized as material.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stock material for
cerium-based abrasives which can be sintered at a relatively
low roasting temperature without causing abnormal growth of
the particles. More concretely, the stock material for
cerium-based abrasives is produced by calcinating the
carbonate of rare earth at a given temperature level to partly
convert it into the oxide of rare earth in such a way to produce
the mixed stock material having a loss on ignition of 0.5 to
25% on a dry basis, determined by heating at 1000°C for 1 hour.

consisting of a semiconductor layer of first conductivity
type, an active layer and a semiconductor layer of second
conductivity type, which is different from the first
conductivity type, that are stacked in order, with a
waveguide region being formed to guide a light beam in a
direction perpendicular to the direction of width by
restricting the light from spreading in the direction of
width in the active layer and in the proximity thereof,
wherein the waveguide region has a first waveguide region and
a second waveguide region, the first waveguide region is a
region where light is confined within the limited active
layer by means of a difference in the refractive index

active layer by limiting the width of the active layer, and
the second waveguide region is a region where the light is
confined therein by providing effective difference in
refractive index in the active layer.

Inventor: POETSCH GERHARD
IPC: B62D29/00
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a particularly long component (1), with a closed, roughly channel-shaped hollow cross-section, such that said component may support large forces in various directions and is suitable as a support. The component comprises two individual parts (3) and (4), which have two contact patches (2) with each other, running in the longitudinal direction. At least one first part (3) of the both parts thus has a U- or channel-shaped cross section and is in working connection to the second part (4) which closes the first as a form of lid. The first part (3) is a metal profile (5), extrusion-coated on at least one side with a plastic layer (6) which increases the section modulus and is thus multi-layered. Said plastic layer (6) extends to the edges (7) of the first part (3) and forms there a contact patch for the second part (4). The second part (4) is made from plastic and in the working position is welded to the plastic layer (6) at the contact patch. A stiff component (1) is thus produced with a hollow cross-section, making common use of the advantages of metal and plastic.

Title: Method for extending the measuring range of an absolute angle in magnetic-field sensors
Inventor: MEYER MARCUS
IPC: G01D5/18
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for expanding the absolute angle measurement range in magnetic field sensors. Through the use of an evaluation circuit (12), various method steps are carried out; first, the ratio of two phase-shifted input values is determined, for example sine signals or cosine signals of the voltage (2, 3). The ratio of the phase-shifted input values (2, 3) to each other is combined with an offset C. The predeterminable offset C permits the expansion (9) of the angle measurement range of magnetic field sensors to a full 360° rotation (11) or a multiple thereof.

flocculant and with high efficiency. The apparatus comprises, in the order from
the side where contaminated water is introduced, an electrolysis tank (1) for
electrolyzing the contaminated water, a gas mixing tank (2) for mixing carbon
dioxide into the contaminated water electrolyzed, a coagulation tank (3) for
mixing Fe 3+  supplied from a flocculant producing device (7) to coagulate
impurities in the contaminated water, and a floatation tank (4) for floating and
separating the impurities coagulated. The electrolysis tank (1) electrolyzes the
contaminated water to lower zeta potential of colloid particles in the contaminated
water, and then the contaminated water is mixed with Fe 3+  in the coagulation tank
(3), thereby reducing the amount of positively charged Fe 3+  to be added for
neutralizing the colloid particles.
