Title: De-icing of multi-layer storage media
Inventor: NIJBOER JAKOB G
IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 2006-12-01
Abstract: A device for recording information on a record carrier (11) is arranged for formatting a multilayer record carrier. The device has formatting means (16) for formatting the record carrier according which formatting includes de-icing by, in the event that locations in the user data area have not yet been recorded, writing dummy data (60) on the locations. The formatting means (16) determine a first radial position (50) and a first layer (40), which first radial position is indicative of a location on the first layer on which user data will be recorded first according to a predefined recording format.  Subsequently said de-icing is started by writing of dummy data on a second layer (41) of the record carrier at the first radial position, opposite the location of the first user data (55). Hence a de-iced area (58) is created opposite the user data (55).

Abstract: A chemiresistor sensor system compensated for temperature and aging effects is disclosed and includes a sensing element exposed to an atmosphere of an ambient environment to be monitored for the presence and/or concentration of a flammable vapor and a temperature compensation element which is isolated from the atmosphere of the ambient environment. The sensing element and the temperature compensation element are electrically connected in series and have similar performance in response to temperature changes and temperature cycling. The output of the chemiresistor sensor system, which is the voltage drop across the sensing element, remains unchanged despite the changes in resistance of the sensing element in response to temperature changes.  Therefore, the chemiresistor sensor system can more accurately and consistently detect the presence of flammable vapor in environments subject to temperature changes and/or over long periods of time.

Inventor: FOSTER JAMES A
IPC: B01J27/198
Filed: 2007-01-30
Abstract: Described herein is a process in which acetic acid is produced by ethane oxidation. One byproduct of the ethane oxidation is ethylene. High ethylene content in the recycle gas stream will lead to poor efficiencies and higher losses to the COx byproduct in the acetic acid reactor. In fact, ethylene in the recycle feed competes with the ethane for the limited amount of oxygen feed, resulting in higher inefficiencies to carbon oxides than straight ethane oxidation. Ethylene is removed in this process by a further oxidation reaction at a temperature low enough such that ethane is not reactive, but the ethylene is converted to acetic acid. Either the ethane oxidation reactor effluent or a portion or all of the recycle stream to the ethane oxidation reactor, or any combination of the same, can be processed in this manner to reduce the ethylene content of those streams.
