Abstract: Bei einem Verfahren und einer Vorrichtung zur Steuerung eines Funkenerosionsprozesses zwischen einem Werkstück (7) und einer Elektrode (6), etwa einer Mikrobohrungselektrode, wird der Erosionsprozeß dadurch störungsfreier, daß entlang einer ersten Teststrecke der zu erodierenden Strecke wenigstens ein Prozeßparameter gemessen, aus den Meßwerten wenigstens ein Steuerungswert ermittelt und dieser in einem zeitlich nachfolgenden Erosionsabschnitt der zu erodierenden Strecke verwendet wird. Bevorzugt dient der Steuerungswert zur Steuerung einer geeigneten Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Elektrode (6). Die Störungsfreiheit wird dadurch weiter erhöht, daß zwischen mechanischen und sonstigen Kurzschlüssen unterschieden und die Elektrodenbewegung bei mechanischen Kurzschlüssen anders als bei sonstigen Kurzschlüssen gesteuert wird. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An on-line steam sanitization system and method for a deionized water supply system for a plant production line such as a plant for the production and packaging of contact lenses. The sanitizing operation is performed by directing a clean deionized steam through all of the deionized water supply system while the deionized water supply system is closed, rather than disassembled and open to possible recontamination as in the prior art, which provides a much more effective sanitization operation, and also substantially reduces the down time for the plant production line. The clean steam is generated by using available house steam to heat deionized water from the deionized water supply to generate a clean steam therefrom which is suitable for the sanitization operation. The use of steam in an on-line sanitizing operation in the existing deionized water supply system required that the production line equipment be modified to withstand the pressure and heat of the steam sanitizing operation, which entailed the removal of reservoirs and their replacement with pressure regulators, a new manifold design which has a symmetrical design with an equal number of fixtures leading to each of the pumps, and by utilizing Kynar tubes and Kynar fixtures.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying graphics data and video data, such as a video window, on a computer display. A graphics adapter chip stores graphics pixel data in a graphics memory, and a video source stores video pixel data in a video memory. The graphics and video memories sequentially output blocks of pixel data to the display screen on output channels. Graphics data is selectively outputted on a number of graphics channels and video data is selectively outputted on the same number of video channels. The video channels are multiplexed with the graphics channels to form the output channels and either graphics data or video data can be output to the display on each output channel. A number of dummy video pixel values can be inserted before video data in the video memory to align video pixels between blocks of graphics data on the display screen. In one embodiment, a source selection element selects graphics and video channels by reading a window-type memory to determine which pixels on the screen are intended to display graphics data and which pixels are intended to display video data. The data on the output channels is converted to a form suitable for driving the display screen of the computer system.

Abstract: Two catalysts are revealed for the process of partial oxidation of light hydrocarbons to synthesis gas: a) Novel nickel-based catalysts for catalytic partial oxidation of light hydrocarbons, preferably natural gas, to synthesis gas (CO+H 2 ) consist of nickel crystallites in contact with La 2 O 3 , either in the form of nickel supported on La 2 O 3  carrier or in the form of nickel on La 2 O 3  particles dispersed on a conventional carrier such as Al 2 O 3 . The nickel content of the catalyst can be in the range of 1-80 wt%, preferably 5-40 wt%. In contrast to conventional nickel-based catalysts, e.g. Ni/γ-Al 2 O 3 , which show a continuous deactivation due to coke formation, the novel Ni/La 2 O 3  catalysts exhibit high conversion and selectivity and excellent stability towards partial oxidation of light hydrocarbons to synthesis gas at reaction temperatures higher than 500 o C, even when using feed of lower O/C ratios (O=O 2 , H 2 O or CO 2 ; C=light hydrocarbons, preferably CH 4 ), thus permitting the process to be more cost-efficient. b) Ruthenium-based catalysts, consisting of 0.01∼40 wt.%, preferably 0.1-10 wt.%, Ru on a carrier of TiO 2  optionally doped with an oxide, e.g. ZnO. The catalysts are capable of converting up to 60-70% of methane in the feed stream (if using a feed of O 2 /CH 4 =0.5) with selectivity to synthesis gas of 60∼80% and at oxygen conversion of 90-99%, via the direct partial oxidation scheme (i.e. without or with negligible involvement of reforming steps). The remaining of unconverted methane can be further converted to synthesis gas over the Ru/TiO 2  or Ni/La 2 O 3  or other reforming catalyst, by subsequent reforming with CO 2  and H 2 O or by feeding more oxygen into the catalyst bed, via e.g. multi-feeding manner.

for replacing at least one selected sucking nozzle by at least
one other sucking nozzle to be newly selected. The
replacement is possible during travel of the component-mounting

has the nozzle holder, and an engaging member holder.
Sucking nozzles are circumferentially arranged about the
vertical axis of the nozzle holder and vertically retractably
held by the nozzle holder. The engaging member holder holds
engaging members which engageably face the nozzles. The
nozzles are engaged with the engaging members when the
holders are relatively vertically moved toward each other,
and are retracted when the holders are moved away from each
other. The engagement can be prevented. A selected
engaging member is prevented from engaging with a
corresponding sucking nozzle by rotating the holders about
the vertical axis. Alternatively, at least one nozzle is
disengaged from a corresponding engaging member at a desired
rotational angle of the holders.
