IPC: C07C45/60
Filed: 1998-11-03
Abstract: Processes for the manufacture of vinyl ether derivatives, e.g., methoxydihydropyran, are disclosed which comprise reacting acetylene and a lower alcohol, e.g., methanol, to form a vinyl alkyl ether, e.g., vinyl methyl ether, reacting the vinyl alkyl ether so produced with an  alpha , beta -unsaturated carbonylic compound, e.g., acrolein, in the presence of the lower alcohol to preferably enhance the conversion of the vinyl alkyl ether to the vinyl ether derivative. In one aspect of the invention, the vinyl ether derivative is methoxydihydropyran which is subjected to hydrolysis to form glutaraldehyde.

Title: Method for temperature calculation for a radiation thermometer
Inventor: KRAUS BERNHARD
IPC: G01K13/00
Filed: 1998-11-27
Abstract: The invention is directed to a method of computing the radiation temperature of a body from the signals of a radiation and an ambient temperature sensor, and further to a radiation thermometer, in particular a clinical radiation thermometer. In the method of the present invention, computation of the temperature is not using the Stefan Boltzmann law, but rather, a polynomial is used, preferably a third-degree polynomial, which is adjusted to the radiation-optical properties of the thermometer in the relevant wavelength range. The reciprocal value of the sensitivity of the radiation sensor is preferably represented as a polynomial as well. In this manner, the computation of a fourth root or divisions which are otherwise customary are avoided, enabling the necessary computations to be also performed, for example, by a 4-bit microprocessor with great speed.

A reactor column (2) has a cruciform passage packing lattice (1) creating a high level of specific separation. The packing has a specific surface area (a), and the passages are arranged at a specified angle ( phi ). The packing is part of a class of packing where a= acl and phi = phi cl. There are two flows of fluid through the packing, of identical size. The packing has a number (n) of empirically determined theoretical separation stages per meter, namely the size NTSM which is represented by a first function f1 (a, phi ) of variables a and phi . The packing has a flow-resistance for each gas passing through the packing, given as the reduction in pressure per meter  DELTA p, which can be characterized as a second function f2 (a, phi ). Under condition n = constant,  DELTA p becomes relatively small, for which the variables a and phi become am(n) and phi m (n), in proportion to the value of n. In particular, n is less than 4.5, acl is less than am (n), phi cl is greater than phi m(n) and phi cl is greater than 45 degrees .

Abstract: L'invention concerne un panneau rétroréfléchissant (40) qui inclut un panneau rigide, et un revêtement rétroréfléchissant (42) présentant une surface structurée dans laquelle sont formés des éléments de coin cubiques (44a). La surface structurée est collée à une surface (48a) du panneau et délimite une pluralité de cellules. Ces cellules protègent les éléments de coin cubiques de l'humidité et de la saleté qui pourraient nuire à la qualité de rétroréflexion du revêtement. En scellant la surface structurée directement sur le panneau plutôt que sur un film d'étanchéité intermédiaire puis sur le panneau, on construit un panneau préfabriqué plus simple. Dans certaines formes de réalisation, des sections surélevées communicantes (44b) sont mises en oeuvre pour délimiter les cellules d'étanchéité. Ces sections surélevées peuvent être incorporées dans la surface structurée du revêtement rétroréfléchissant ou dans la surface du panneau. On décrit des procédés de fabrication desdits panneaux, lesquels sont utilisés à des fins de commande de trafic, ou comme plaques indicatrices de rue ou plaques d'immatriculation.

IPC: A61P37/04

Abstract: Removing free protein from a liquid mixture containing the protein and a protein-polysaccharide conjugate can be a technologically difficult, expensive, and time consuming process. The procedure described herein for removing the protein from such a mixture simplifies this removal. The procedure includes contacting the liquid mixture, including the protein and the protein-polysaccharide conjugate, with a solid phase, restricted-access media material. This material at least partially binds with the protein and separates it from the liquid mixture, thereby providing a purified liquid containing at least a portion of the protein-polysaccharide conjugate and a reduced amount of the protein. The purified liquid can be collected for further processing or use. As one example, the restricted-access media material can include porous silica particles that generally allow the protein to enter, but restrict or limit access to the protein-polysaccharide conjugate. In this manner, at least some of the free protein adheres, attaches, or otherwise binds to the restricted-access media material and separates from the conjugate. The process of the invention can be used for preparing protein-polysaccharide conjugates that can be used in vaccines or other pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: A catalyst for olefinic polymer production comprises (a)
a penta-coordinated, organic aluminium oxide compound, (b) an
alkylating agent and (c) a compound of a transition metal of
Group IV, V, VI or VIII of the Periodic Table. Olefins are

catalyst for olefinic polymer production to produce olefinic
polymers. The process does not require a promoter of
methylaluminoxane, with which the problem is low solubility and
low storage stability. Using therein the penta-coordinated,
organic aluminium oxide compound which is relatively
inexpensive and can be produced easily, the process realizes
high-yield production of olefinic polymers.
