Patent JP-3236289-B2 (JP)
IPC: C07D319/12
Filed: 1991-09-18
Granted: 2001-12-10
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for making lactide from aqueous lactic acid. The invention method comprises converting feed aqueous lactic acid to its vapor phase. The feed vapors then are passed through a reactor maintained at elevated temperature and in which optionally is disposed an alumina catalyst. Withdrawn from the reactor is product lactide, water, and unreacted lactic acid which are subjected to separation for recovery of the lactide product. The separated unreacted lactic acid is eligible for readmission to the process for making additional lactide. This cyclic process embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of passing make-up aqueous lactic acid feed into a vaporization zone along with unreacted aqueous lactic acid filtrate from another step of the process and therein forming aqueous lactic acid feed vapors. The thus-generated vapors that are passed through a vapor phase reaction zone held at elevated temperature for forming lactide therein. Lactide as a solid is separated from unreacted aqueous lactic acid filtrate; and the filtrate is passed into the vaporization zone in the initial step of the process.

Abstract: On a multi-node client server network, a client node obtains access to remote services by means of a communications directory service located in each node of the network. The communications directory service includes a tree structure to which existing directory services and other network services can be added. The tree structure has a plurality of nodes each of which includes specific methods that query and browse the associated directory service if such actions are supported by the underlying service. The communications directory service further includes shared libraries which store a service object associated with each service offered on the network. The service object, in turn, includes the service exchange address and communication link configuration information. A client desiring to access a remote service retrieves the appropriate service object from the communications directory service and uses the service object to set up the communications path.

Date Aug. 29, 1996A method and arrangement for identifying and finding the grippers of a gripping conveyor used to transport printed products. The gripping conveyor is divided into a number of sections wherein the length of each section is sufficiently short to enable length variations of the section to be avoided in operation. A group of grippers at the end of each section form an identification code for the following section. The code may be compiled by virtue of each gripper in the group either carrying or not carrying a marker, such that the grippers will form a binary code. The gripper located before the code may carry a marker which indicates the beginning of the code and the beginning of the following section. A sensor senses the code and thereby finds the section of interest. A given gripper within the section can then be found by its position in the section. A gripper counter which senses the serial number of the gripper in the section may also be used.

Title: Sealing assembly
Inventor: RYBA ERIC LEE
IPC: F16L39/02
Filed: 2001-07-31
Granted: 2006-04-27
Abstract: A sealing assembly for attaching pliable tubes to rigid connecting members, for high pressure, low temperature service, which seals by compressing a sealing wafer around the pliable tubes. The pliable tubes pass through holes in the sealing wafer. As the wafer seal is axially compressed, the wafer seal is restrained against radial expansion, thereby exerting an inward radial pressure on the holes through the wafer seal to cause an hermetic seal between the wafer seal and the pliable tubes. A swage bushing can be used, with swage tubes that are swaged onto the pliable tubes by a swage clamp, for the purpose of axially restraining the pliable tubes.

IPC: A61C8/00

Granted: 2011-12-15
Abstract: The dental implant system comprises a dental implant (1) and a construction element (2). The implant (1) has an advantageously rotationally symmetrical coronal implant area (1.2) which is cylindrical or has a steep truncated cone shape and a osseointegrated fitted cover surface. The construction element (2) has a cover surface (2.1) which extends in an apical manner and which can cover the coronal implant region (1.2) in a cap-like manner and, advantageously, in a rotational position which can be freely selected, such that it rests on the implant cover surface. As a result, edge lines (2.3) of the cover area (2.1) which rest on the cover surface of the coronal implant area (1.2) form the physiologically relevant microgap with the mentioned cover surface. The implant (1) is implanted, preferably, for transmucosal healing. After healing, the construction element (2), the edge lines thereof (2.3), e.g. the path of the natural bone surface, correspond to the implant, whereon the coronal implant area (1.2) is placed. An axial extension of the cover area and the rotational position of the construction element are selected in relation to the implant such that the microgap about the implant around the biological width (D) rests over the natural bone surface. Axial positions and the path of the micro gap are not predetermined by the implant (1), but are adjusted after the implant (1) has healed. As a result, bone decomposition for adjusting the biological width (D) between bone surfaces and microgaps can be prevented without stringent requirements on implant precision
