Title: A method for producing glycols
Inventor: STRICKLER GARY R
IPC: C07C31/20
Filed: 1997-10-03
Granted: 2001-03-29
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing glycols. Such a method is particularly useful for preparing ethylene glycol from ethylene oxide and water. The method of this invention is a synergistic combination of the process of evaporation, absorption, and reaction, combined to enhance reactions of yields for reactions of epoxides with compounds containing hydroxy functional groups. Such method comprises making glycol in an evaporation column reactor as follows: (a) feeding a hydroxy compound into the reactor; (b) feeding an epoxide into the reactor such that the epoxide compound is contacted with hydroxyl compound in a reaction zone under conditions such that substantially all of the epoxide reacts to form a product comprising a glycol which is dissolved in liquid hydroxyl compound; (c) removing the mixture of liquid hydroxyl compound and dissolved glycol away from the reaction zone; and (d) heating the mixture of liquid hydroxyl compound and dissolved glycol such that at least some of the hydroxyl compound is evaporated away from the glycol; and (e) condensing and refluxing the evaporated hydroxyl compound and combining it with the hydroxyl compound of Step (a). In one aspect of the invention, the epoxide feed described in Step (b) enter the reactor through at least two distinct ports within the reactor. In another aspect of this invention, the method is synergistically conducted in at least two sequential evaporation columns which together form a multiple effect evaporation column reactor.

Title: Long pulse tunable dye laser
Inventor: FURUMOTO HORACE
IPC: H01S3/092
Filed: 1985-10-24
Granted: 1989-08-03
Abstract: A tunable dye laser has been found particularly suited to selective photothermolysis. A longer pulse duration which makes the system suitable for a wider range of applications is obtained by modifying the laser to generate a spatially noncoherent beam. The optical system at each end of the laser cell, which may include a lens or spherical mirror, refocuses the aperture of the dye cell near to itself so that substantially all light emanating from the dye cell is returned to the dye cell until the light passes through one of the optic systems as a noncoherent laser beam. A tunable intracavity element tunes the laser across the gain curve of the dye solution. The pulse duration of the laser beam can be selected from a range of durations up to about one millisecond.

Title: Disposable absorbent article having improved leg cuffs
IPC: A61F13/56
Filed: 1990-03-08
Granted: 1993-05-13
Abstract: A disposable absorbent article such as a diaper (10), is disclosed. The diaper has two lengthwise extending longitudinal marginal portions (50), each longitudinal marginal portion having two elastically extensible leg cuffs, a barrier cuff (62) and a gasket cuff (56). The leg cuffs (56,62) serve to help contain body exudates within the disposable article. Each leg cuff (56,62) is elasticized to provide a relatively low ultimate contact force against the skin of the wearer at relatively high elongations. This arrangement provides a diaper with leg cuffs which can be elongated to conform to the shape of the wearer, without causing undue discomfort or irritation to the legs of the wearer. The relatively low ultimate contact force at relatively high elongations may be accomplished either through a low contact force differential material, or through a material which exhibits stress relaxation over a relatively short period of time.

Title: A wide area fiber and TV cable fast packet cell network
Inventor: BARAN PAUL
IPC: H04N7/14
Filed: 1993-12-21
Granted: 1996-11-07
Abstract: 53 byte length ATM compliant cells are transmitted over a digital optical fiber path to interconnect with a coaxial feeder cable TV system to support two-way digital services at a plurality of sites connected to the TV cable system. At the point of interconnection between the fiber optic path and the cable TV feeder subsystem, digital signals are converted to a UHF rf carrier frequency above the cutoff pass-band of the analog signal feeder amplifier carrying TV broadcast signals. This rf carrier conveys a high data rate digitally modulated signal limited to sections of feeder cable between the cable TV broadcast channel amplifiers. In-house access to this UHF carrier signal is via the normal TV cable tap and drop cable to a SIU, located near the subscriber's TV set. The feeder cable and the passive taps used in cable TV practice have a higher cutoff frequency than the feeder amplifiers themselves. This allows passage of an UHF signal over the feeder cable. Low pass filters at the feeder amplifiers prevent this UHF signal from being shorted out by the in-cable amplifiers. Each SIU so connected sends and receives the UHF carrier signal, which conveys the ATM type cells. Each cell's payload contains the local address of the source and destination of that cell. Each SIU decodes each cell's address and accepts only those cells that are for itself. The SIUs speak to and receive signals from an FTU located at the TV cable headend or at a fiber connection node. The common channel conveying the ATM cells alternatively sends and receives cells in a ping-pong fashion.

Abstract: Porous ceramic particles can be fragmented by generating a gas inside the pores at a sufficient pressure to cause the particles to be fragmented. The preferred way of generating the pressure is by immersing the particles in a liquid that at ambient temperatures and pressures is a gas until the liquid is absorbed into the pores and thereafter rapidly changing the conditions such that the liquid becomes a gas resulting in explosive fragmentation of the ceramic particles.
