Abstract: Intaglio printing methods and apparatuses are disclosed, involving the use of a curable resin composition (e.g., curable by actinic radiation). The composition may be applied to a substrate, such as a printable material, at a depth of 250 µm or more, in order to create a desirable, three-dimensional effect. To produce this type of printed or coated substrate, the composition is first transferred to cells or recesses, having a depth of these dimensions, onto a printing surface (e.g., a gravure cylinder) and then at least partially cured. The at least partially cured composition is then transferred to the substrate (e.g., paper or plastic) where additional curing may occur, to produce the final printed or coated article.

Abstract: An anaerobic process uses a continuous oscillatory flow reactor (1) having a reaction tube with baffles (7) along its length. Fluid material is introduced into the tube through a circulating loop (41) and control valve (28) configuration. The fluid comprises the following components: a finely divided substrate material,e.g.  of ground straw, and facultative and/or obligate anaerobic organisms such as rumen organisms. The fluid material passes through the tube at a speed that allows anaerobic fermentation to take place, and is caused to oscillate with respect to the baffles. The microbial biomass, extra-cellular enzymes and liquid and gaseous fermentation end-products can be collected at outlets (5, 9). The oscillating-f low system can be used to grow obligately anaerobic microorganisms and is ideal for fermentation processes because of its thorough mixing at low shear force and controllable conditions.  In it rumen processes in particular can be run, resulting in a much faster digestion than in conventional anaerobic digesters.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for selecting a work queue associated with a processor within a multiple processor architecture to assign a new task. A local and a remote queue availability flag is maintained to indicate a relative size of work queues, in relationship to a mean queue size, for each processor in a multiple processor architecture. In determining to which processor to assign a task, the processor evaluates its own queue size by examining its local queue availability flag and evaluates other processor's queue sizes by examining their remote queue availability flags. The local queue availability flags are maintained asynchronously from task assignment. Remote flags are maintained at time of task assignment. The presented algorithm provides improved local processor queue size determinations in systems where task distribution processes execute with lower priorities that other tasks.
