Patent EP-0475450-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NOBUSAWA TATSUYA
IPC: C07C5/27
Filed: 1991-09-13
Abstract: The invention provides a process for producing 2-methylnaphthalene by isomerization of 1-methylnaphthalene in which a Y zeolite having a unit cell constant of less than or equal to 24.37 A (10 -10  m) is used as an isomerization catalyst. 
     Since the isomerization is effected by the use of the inventive heterogeneous solid catalyst which has a long catalyst life, 2-methylnaphthalene is produced from 1-methylnaphthalene efficiently with less cost and handling steps for regeneration or exchange of the catalyst.

Abstract: A prefabricated collapsible formwork module is assembled at a factory site, including the provision of a pair of sheathing panels (1,2) which can be made of insulating material, as well as the mounting of the vapor barrier (13), the filler strips (9), bearing blocks (4,5), and flexible or foldable connecting elements (3) extending between bearing blocks on the exterior surfaces of the panels extending between the panels to retain the panels when they are being erected. The sheathing panels may also have a waterproof membrane applied thereto, and the concrete reinforcement is assembled between the sheathing panels at the factory site. When the framework module is fully assembled, it is then collapsed, that is, by moving one sheathing panel against the other including sandwiching the foldable or flexible connecting elements and the concrete reinforcement which is preferably in the form of a grid, and the module can then be stored and transported to a building site. At the building site, the module is spread apart to the full extent of the connecting means and spacers are provided between the sheathing panels for maintaining the panels apart. Typical male (14) and female (13) plates are intercalated at the edges of the sheathing panels to form joints (24) with adjacent panels.

Abstract: A punch holder 4 has brazed thereon r copper disk 3 and receives a punch 2 extending therethrough. The holder is in registry with an upper punch guide/punch down-stop 6, 16 and has a spring 5 extending therethrough for controlling axial movement of the punch. A lower punch guide 7 and stripper bushing 8 also receive and guide the punch in coaxial alignment therewith. In operation, a magnetically energized coil 9 repulses the disk, which, in turn, imparts downward punching force to the punch with the spring providing restorative force. The disk is fully supported by the punch holder substantially along its radius, thereby preventing distortion. The spring provides constant force over the deflection range, thereby enhancing the punching action while improving reliability and reducing failures. Due to the punch being releasably attached to the punch holder-disk, it may be separately replaced. A sliding contact and aligning tolerance is provided only at opposing ends of the punch between the punch and the lower guide through which it extends at its distal end, and between the punch holder O.D. and upper punch guide I.D. at the proximal end. A repairable head is provided thereby avoiding previous practice of discarding entire defective head assemblies.

Abstract: A gas-phase growing apparatus is provided with a reaction furnace (1), and a substrate (2) having a minute depression is placed inside the reaction furnace (1). In the reaction furnace (1), a reaction gas is supplied onto the substrate, so as to cause gas-phase growth of a layer of a reaction product within the depression of the substrate. The reaction gas is supplied such that the pressure in the reaction furnace is alternately changed between a first pressure and a second pressure. The first pressure is a pressure capable of producing a continuous or intermediate stream in which the collision between the molecules of the reaction gas is predominant, while the second pressure is a pressure lower than the first pressure. The gas-phase growing apparatus is also provided with a pipe (4) for introducing the reaction gas into the reaction furnace, a valve (5) for controlling the flow rate of the reaction gas, a pump (7) for discharging the unconverted reaction gas from the reaction furnace, an orifice (8) for providing flow resistance for the discharge side of the reaction furnace, a pressure meter (6) for measuring the internal pressure of the reaction furnace, and an electromagnetic valve (9) operating in association with the pressure meter.

Abstract: Procédé de récupération de bits perdus lors de la transmission numérique. Ladite invention peut être appliquée dans des réseaux de guichets automatiques ou dans des réseaux dans lesquels le récepteur utilise le décodage doux. Un certain nombre de bits de données d1-dn sont transmis en même temps qu'un certain nombre de bits de contrôle c1-ck. Les bits de contrôle sont calculés dans le transmetteur à l'aide d'un certain nombre de constantes de parité p11-pkn de manière à ce qu'un nombre correspondant de relations de parité soient satisfaites. Dans le récepteur, les positions des bits de données perdus sont détectées et un certain nombre de bits de syndrome s1-sk sont calculés à partir des bits de données et des bits de contrôle transmis. Les bits de données perdus peuvent ensuite être récupérés en mappant les bits de syndrome indiquant les valeurs des bits de données perdus. En utilisant les connaissances relatives aux positions des bits de données perdus, un nombre réduit de bits de contrôle est nécessaire par rapport à la technique antérieure.
