Abstract: A vehicle cellular telephone (10) is mounted on the side of a vehicle sun visor (11) which is in clear view of a driver when the visor is in the downward shading position. The telephone has a memory for storing selected telephone numbers in accordance with numbers pre-assigned by a user and a dual system of controls for placing outside telephone calls. The dual controls for placing outside calls comprise a first linear array (21) arranged across the lower edge portion of the telephone for "speed dialing" outgoing calls corresponding to the numbers stored by the user in the memory and a second square array (24) of controls for the regular placement of outgoing calls. To "speed dial" an outgoing call, the pre-assigned number which corresponds to the telephone number of the outgoing call stored in the memory is entered into the linear array (21). To place an outgoing call in the regular manner the telephone number of the outgoing call is entered into the second array (24). There is also provided a linear array (22) of operating controls above the first linear array and an alphanumeric (14) display for displaying messages and the telephone numbers of outgoing calls.

Abstract: The invention provides methods to screen for inhibitors of proteases. The first method involves the construction of a plasmid system such that expression of a protease is toxic to a bacterial strain. Compounds of interest may then be screened for those which inhibit the toxic protease and thereby prevent killing of the bacterial strain. Inhibition is detected by successful transformations of the bacterial strain by the plasmid coding for the protease. The second method involves the construction of a fusion protein which contains a protease cleavage site inserted into a protein whose activity may be assayed. Compounds are screened for protease inhibition, which is detected by assaying for a change in color, light or activity of the protein. HIV protease and polio 3C protease are examples of proteases that may be used in these methods.

Title: Process for preparing 2,6-di-tert.butylphenol
Inventor: KUEPPER FRIEDRICH-WILHELM DR
IPC: C07B61/00
Filed: 1990-10-17
Abstract: 2.1 DTBP is prepared by the processes of the prior art by addition reaction of isobutene with phenol in the presence of aluminium phenolates or by the addition reaction of isobutene with 2-tert.-butylphenol (2-TBP) with aluminium tris-2-tert.-butylphenolate as catalyst. Combined processes are also known. The disadvantages of the known processes are the relatively large amounts of catalysts necessary, which have to be deactivated before separation of the reaction products by distillation and which cause waste water problems. Another disadvantage is the formation of unwanted di- and tri-alkylated products. 
<??>The object of the invention was to develop an improved, environmentally safe process which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and moreover produces good yields. 
<??>2.2 The solution consists in, starting from 2-TBP, the reaction with isobutene being carried out in the liquid phase, catalysed by aluminium tris-(2-tert.-butylphenolate), in the presence of fairly large amounts of saturated (cyclo)aliphatic hydrocarbons which are liquid under the reaction conditions and/or C5-C16-alkenes of the formulae R1-CH=CH2 or R2-CH=CH-R3 and/or C5- to C12-cycloalkenes which are not branched at the C=C bond, and/or of excess isobutene as diluent at temperatures of 0 DEG C to 80 DEG C, pressures of 0.1 to 11 bar and amounts of catalysts of 0.005 to 5 mol %, relative to the 2-TBP used. 
<??>2.3 Antioxidants and other compounds can be prepared from DTBP.

Abstract: A feeder for expelling printing ink from an ink can or container directly into an ink fountain of a printing press comprises a housing (16) having a section for receiving an ink can (34) in a centered location, a bottom opening through which ink can be expelled from the can, and a top section (14) in which a double acting pneumatic cylinder is supported over the ink can. The cylinder has a ram (62) carrying an expeller plate (64) for pushing printing ink from an ink can supported below the ram. A disc seal member (65) is interposed between the plate and the surface of ink in the can, and forms a seal with the inner diameter of the can. This seal can remain in a partially empty can to protect the ink surface. An electrical circuit controls the operation of the feeder, and is contained in the housing. The control includes a switch 
having position for manual advancement and retraction of the expeller plate, and a position for automatic operation of the feeder. In the automatic mode, a timer 
controls the energizing and de-energizing of a control relay to activate the pneumatic cylinder and extend the ram in incremental fashion to push ink out of the ink can. The duration and frequency of expeller plate advancement can be varied to adjust the amount of ink expelled in a given period of press operating time.

IPC: F25J3/06
Filed: 1990-05-01
Abstract: The present invention utilizes a turboexpander coupled with a compressor in place of the Joules-Thomson expansion valve to achieve higher efficiency in a conventional refrigeration used for removing condensable hydrocarbons or chemical vapors from air which has been contaminated during loading and unloading at bulk plants. The more efficient turboexpansion cycle allows the use of saturated lower aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as ethane, as refrigerant, the use of which would be precluded from normal Joules-Thomson expansion cycles. The turboexpander work is used to drive a compressor which partially recompresses the expanded refrigerant gas, providing an essentially isentropic expansion. Because the turboexpander and the compressor operate on the same fluid, the mass flows through both are equal thereby alleviating control and loading problems.

Abstract: A light source (1) emits light having two components which have slightly-different frequencies and which have different planes of polarization. The emitted light is separated into first, second, and third parts travelling along different paths respectively (7,10,11). First (17), second (18), and third (19) reference gratings diffract the first, second, and third light parts respectively. First, second, and third illumination optical systems selectively transmit the diffracted first, second, and third light parts respectively. First (30), second (31), and third (32) mark gratings having predetermined orientations are formed on a mask (28) and are illuminated with the first, second, and third light parts coming from the first, second, and third illumination systems respectively. Similarly, first, second, and third mark gratings are formed on a wafer (29) and are illuminated with the first, second, and third light parts coming from the first, second, and third illumination systems respectively. A first device (38) detects first optical beat signals of the diffracted lights coming from the first mark grating on the mask and the first mark grating on the wafer. Similar detection is made for the diffracted lights coming from the other mark gratings on the mask and the wafer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultra-drawn polyethylene fibre reinforced composite material having the ultra-drawn polyethylene fibres as the reinforcement material and the epoxy resin as the matrix resin, wherein the epoxy resin is modified with an elastomer to improve adhesion with the ultra-drawn polyethylene fibres. Such improvement in adhesion is ascribable to the fact that low polarity portions are formed in the epoxy resin by introducing the elastomer to raise affinity with ultra-drawn polyethylene fibres, and that the low polarity portions are formed into domains with a specific shape according to types of elastomer employed to effect intercation by a shape effect with the surface micro-structure of the fibres.
