Title: Matrix addressed display devices
Inventor: GRAY EDMUND
IPC: G02F1/13357
Filed: 1984-04-06
Abstract: Optical mixing elements are located in front of a matrix addressed polychromatic display device to mix the light output from adjacent pixels of different colour so that the individual pixels are not separately perceived, but instead the light output of each is combined with its neighbours of different colour to form a 'group pixel' perceived as being of substantially uniform colour. This allows colour mixing to occur without the requirement that the pitch of the pixels be so fine as to be beneath the resolution limit of the observer of the display. The optical mixing elements may be constituted by an array of Fresnel prisms or by a layer of ballotini.   <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to containers and closures therefor
Inventor: HAINES PETER REGINALD
IPC: B65D47/08
Filed: 1985-05-20
Abstract: A container 11 has in its top wall a neck 12 having an external peripheral rib 14 and an internal rib 18 extending over part of the periphery of the neck and from each end rising to a level near the top edge of the neck so as to form a double-sided ramp. The closure for the container has a top 20 and a skirt 21 with an internal peripheral rib which naps over rib 14 to secure the closure. The top is a one-piece plastics moulding and includes a hinged flap 23 and an aperture 25 which is slightly smaller than the flap, so that the flap can be pressed through the aperture, the natural resilience of the plastics material causing the flap to seat against the underside of the top along the lip of the aperture 25. Rotating the closure into a position in which the highest point of the rib 18 is below the part of the flap furthest from the hinge line prevents depression of the flap and seals the container for subsequent disposal of its contents. Over-ridable stop ribs 16, 17 can locate the closure in either of its two positions of rotation. <IMAGE>

Title: A process for the production of fatty acid methyl esters
Inventor: LEPPER DR HERBERT
IPC: C07C67/02
Filed: 1985-11-25
Abstract: Fatty acid alkyl esters are produced by catalytic transesterification of natural fats and oils containing free fatty acids. In a preliminary esterifying step, the free fatty acids present are reacted with a C1-C4 alkanol (e.g., methanol) in the presence of an acidic esterification catalyst, at a temperature of about 50 DEG  to 120 DEG  C. and at substantially atmospheric pressure. The resulting reaction mixture is allowed to separate into two phases: (1) an alcohol phase containing the acidic esterification catalyst and part of the water of reaction and (2) an oil phase. These phases separately recovered. The oil phase is then extracted with an immiscible extractant, preferably comprising a mixture of glycerol and methanol, to remove residual water of reaction. In the final step the extracted oil phase is transesterified with a C1-C4 alkanol, e.g. methanol, in the presence of an aklali catalyst and at substantially atmospheric pressure.
