Abstract: The plant, comprising a high-pressure column (101), an intermediate pressure column (102) with a boiler (24), and a low pressure column (103), has no means for argon enrichment of a fluid containing between 3 and 20 per cent/mol of argon other than the three aforementioned columns. During operation a mixture of at least oxygen, nitrogen and argon is fed into the high-pressure column, where it is separated into oxygen-rich and nitrogen-rich fractions. Part of both fractions is fed to the low-pressure column, which operates at preferably above 4 bars, and the gas from the lower part of this column is sent to the boiler in the intermediate column and at least partially condensed before being returned to the low-pressure column. Oxygen-rich and nitrogen-rich fluids (31, 72) are then drawn from the low-pressure column; at least part of the nitrogen-rich fluid is at least partly condensed in a vaporizer/condenser linked to the low-pressure column, and at least part of the partly condensed fluid is fed back to the high-pressure column, but no fluid containing 3-20 per cent/mol of argon is enriched with argon in any column apart from the high-pressure, low-pressure or intermediate-pressure columns. An Independent claim is also included for the instillation for the cryogenic air separating procedure.

Abstract: Transporting items of bulk, i.e., stacked documents or boxed merchandise, which vary in extent from time to time, in an envelope that gives a desired favorable appearance of containing an item of bulk that is greater than the bulk of the item that is actually the content of the envelope, which motivates the recipient to open the envelope. The envelope is rectangular and at least along three sides has isosceles shaped gussets characterized by progressively diminishing clearance between the sides in the direction of the apex, so that the thickness or bulk of the item in the envelope is effectively engaged by the sides of the isosceles triangles before significant shifting, particularly of stacked documents, can occur as might diminish the perceived bulk based on the external appearance of the envelope.

Abstract: In a method for determining absolute position under water of a submersible vessel ( 1 ) having a dead reckoning navigation system and receiving acoustic signals from a reference station ( 19 ), signals are received from one reference station in several positions ( 15-18 ) of the vessel. Estimated absolute positions of the vessel are calculated using range data and relative position data. Range rate data derived from the signals are preferably utilised. In a method for scanning an underwater survey area, the absolute position of a vessel ( 1 ) is intermittently being determined according to said method. The reference station may be placed at a fixed absolute position ( 19 ), or on the surface of the water, preferably in a buoy or a vessel. A system for determining the absolute position under water of a vessel comprises: acoustic communication means in a reference station and on board the vessel; a dead reckoning navigation system on board the vessel; and computing means.

Abstract: A niobium powder for use in a capacitor, characterized in that it comprises a niobium powder being partially oxydized and partially nitrized which has a mass ratio of the amount of nitrogen to that of oxygen of 1/45 or more; a sintered compact of the niobium powder; and a capacitor using the sintered compact. A conventional niobium capacitor has had low reliability, since a conventional niobium powder has great affinity for oxygen and is prone to natural oxidation. The use of the above niobium powder containing nitrogen in addition to oxygen in a mass ratio of nitrogen to oxygen of 1/45 or more has allowed the production of a highly reliable niobium capacitor which causes no spike noise in the reliability test (high temperature and high load test).

Abstract: When parallel processing is executed by parallel computers composed of a host computer and a plurality of processors connected to the host computer through a common bus, there is provided a method of assigning jobs to respective processors with high efficiency. A job in which a ratio between a communication time and a calculation time is larger than a predetermined value or larger than a fraction of processors and a job in which a ratio between a communication time and a calculation time is smaller than a predetermined value or smaller than a fraction of processors can be alternately assigned to respective processors. Alternatively, jobs are assigned to respective processors in such a manner that a plurality of processors and a plurality of jobs are divided into a plurality of groups in a one-to-one relation, jobs in which sizes comprising communication time and calculation time and ratios between the communication times and the calculation times approximate to each other may belong to different job groups and the order in which the jobs in which the sizes comprising the communication time and the calculation time and the ratios between the communication times and the calculation times approximate to each other are assigned within respective job groups may differ from each other among a plurality of job groups. 
The parallel processing method and its job assignment method are applied to a Fock matrix calculation algorithm in an ab initio molecular orbital calculation method.

Abstract: A DC voltage boost circuit capable of improved efficiency. The DC voltage boost circuit includes an inductive element, a switching device, an output capacitive element, and a regulation circuit. The switching device periodically causes current to flow through the inductive element in response to a control signal. Each time the switching device causes current to flow through the inductive element, the inductive element stores the energy. When the switching device stops the current from flowing through the inductive element, the stored energy is then transferred to the output capacitive element. The capacitive element accumulates the packets of energy stored in the inductive element in the form of charges to form the output voltage of the booster. A regulation circuit is provided to sample the booster output voltage and to generate the control signal for the switching device such that the output voltage is regulated. The control signal can be frequency modulated or pulse width modulated. An integrated circuit is also disclosed comprising a package, a die incorporating the switching device and regulation circuit, wherein the inductive and capacitive elements are situated within the package, but outside of the die.
