Abstract: A method for inhibiting and dissolving the deposits formed on caustic or alkaline scrubbers used in scrubbing acidic gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, which are formed during the pyrolytic cracking of naphtha, ethane, and propane. The cracking operations produce certain oxygenated compounds such as vinyl acetate or acetaldehyde, which undergo polymerization under alkaline condition. The vinyl acetate on hydrolysis releases acetaldehyde under alkaline conditions. Amino acids such as 6 amino caproic acid and lactams such as epsilon caprolactam not only prevent but also dissolve the polymers formed by aldol condensation.

Abstract: A radiation-recording plate is constructed and arranged to form an image upon exposure from either of two sides. The plate includes a marker detectable in the image after exposure and indicative of which of the two sides the plate is exposed from. The marker may comprise a medium opaque to the radiation coating a region that does not interfere with reading the image when the plate is exposed from either side. Such a plate may be sensitive to X-radiation, and the medium may comprise a heavy element, an alloy including a heavy element, a compound including a heavy element or a salt of a heavy element. For example, the medium may include one of Pb, Sn, Bi, I. A plate sensitive to X-radiation may incorporate a medium comprising a heavy metal suspended in a binder applied to the region. The marker may have bilateral asymmetry about at least one axis. If the marker has bilateral asymmetry, it may have horizontal asymmetry relative to a normal image orientation. Alternatively, the marker may have vertical asymmetry relative to a normal image orientation. A method of identifying a side from which a radiation-recording plate has been exposed to radiation may include: incorporating in the plate, in a position that substantially does not interfere with an image area of the plate, a marker whose appearance in the image identifies which side the plate is exposed from; exposing the plate to the radiation; and observing the image for the identification of the side of the plate exposed. The method may further comprise: arranging the marker to indicate a rotational orientation of the plate; and observing the image for the indication of the rotational orientation of the plate. A method of making a radiation sensitive plate having at least one radiation sensitive layer, may comprise: providing a film sensitive to the radiation on a first side of the radiation sensitive layer; and applying a suspension of a heavy metal in a binder to a region of a second side of the radiation sensitive layer.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to shorten the release time lag of an electronic camera.
The electronic camera of the invention includes an image pickup section generating image
data using light received from an object, a displaying section displaying the image data, a
release section, and a shooting mode controlling section. By receiving user operation, the
release section is switched from a standby mode to a preparation mode and instructs the
image pickup section to prepare for shooting, and is switched from the preparation mode to
a shooting mode and instructs the image pickup section to start shooting. The shooting
mode controlling section sets the image pickup section to an appropriate mode for moving
image photographing when the release section is in the standby mode, and sets the image
pickup section to an appropriate mode for still image photographing when the release
section is in the preparation mode and before the release section is switched to the
shooting mode. Accordingly, since the image pickup section has already been set to the
appropriate mode for still image photographing when the user operates the release section
to start shooting, the release time lag can be shortened.

Abstract: Disclosed is a ventilation coupling device comprising members that lock the plug (77) in the coupled position in which a fluid connection is established. In order to prevent the plug (77) from being ejected when the locking mechanism (62) is disengaged, the inventive coupling device is provided with catch members (63) which maintain the plug in the caught position until the user decides to fully release the plug (77) from the socket part by actuating an actuating sleeve (6). The arrangement is such that the actuating sleeve (6) is translationally displaced starting from a home position in order to unlock the plug while being rotationally displaced in order to disengage the catch position. In an alternative embodiment, both the unlocking and disengaging of the catch position are done by a rotational movement but in opposite directions.
