Abstract: A tubular furnace of such an arrangement that, while a fluid to be heated can be prevented from coking or a heating pipe can be prevented from burning, a predetermined quantity of heat is provided through a smaller heat transfer area and problems of corrosion at low temperature of the heating pipe in the tubular furnace due to sulfur contents in the fuel are solved, to thereby achieve a high efficiency. In this tubular furnace (1), a coil path (3) is divided into a plurality of zones (2, ..., 2); at least one heat accumulator type burner system (4) is provided in each of the zones (2, ..., 2) for alternately performing the supply of combustion air to burners (5, 6) through heat accumulators (7, 7) and the discharge of combustion gas therefrom; a combustion quantity is independently controlled in each of the zones (2, ..., 2), so that a desirable heat flux pattern can be formed such that a boundary layer temperature of the fluid to be heated in the zones (2, ..., 2) of the coil path (3) is lower than a coking temperature or lower than an allowable maximum temperature to be determined by the material for use in the heating pipe, and is set substantially the same in all of the zones. With this arrangement, the heat flux is increased at the inlet zone where the temperature is well below a coking temperature, while coking is prevented; a predetermined quantity of heat is provided through a smaller heat transfer area; the temperature of the tubular wall at the inlet zone is raised to avoid the corrosion at low temperature; the waste heat of the waste combustion gas is utilized to preheat the combustion air so as to achieve a thermal efficiency as high as that in a furnace provided with a convection section, even without a convection section, so that it becomes possible to render the furnace compact in size or to increase the treating quantity.

Abstract: The invention describes a process for selectively preparing ortho-fluorinated substituted aromatic compounds wherein an aromatic compound containing a substituent capable of directing ortho metalation is contacted with a metalating reagent under reaction conditions sufficient to form an ortho-metalated substituted aromatic compound. The ortho-metalated substituted aromatic compound is reacted with an electrophilic fluorinating reagent under reaction conditions sufficient to form the desired ortho-fluorinated substituted aromatic compound which is then recovered from the reaction mixture. The process which utilizes a metalation intermediate prior to effecting the electrophilic fluorination step overcomes problems associated with prior art electrophilic fluorination processes which do not proceed through a regiospecifically controlled intermediate.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a dental prosthesis, wherein the shape of the prepared part of the teeth in question is established by scanning at least a part of the teeth, or a replica thereof, by means of a three-dimensional scanner. In order to be able to determine the desired shape of the prosthesis, it is necessary to know not only the shape of the part of the teeth in question, but also the circumferential edge of the preparation, i.e. that part of the teeth which has been prepared for receiving the dental prosthesis. The preparation line is made visible to the scanner by providing the teeth at one side of this preparation line with a coating which the scanner is capable of recognizing.

Abstract: Sewage sludge is mixed with organic material such as woodchips in a three screw mixer so that moving masses are created in the mixing compartment, there being a shearing action at the interfaces between the masses. The mixer includes the mixing compartment and a holding compartment into which dewatered sludge is continuously charged. There is a gate between the compartments which is opened when it is desired to convey sludge from the holding compartment to the mixing compartment. The shearing action results in the organic material being coated with a thin layer of sludge without the formation of dewatered sludge lumps which would rot instead of composting.

Abstract: The interconnections (24, 26, 28) for transmitting print commands from a printer (12) to a printhead (14) are reduced by the use of on-printhead circuitry (16, 30). In a basic embodiment, the printhead driver circuitry (16) includes a matrix of drivers (31) controlled by gates, power and control interconnections. Interconnections are reduced by enabling rows and columns of drivers witn the power and control interconnections. A multiplexer (70) may also be added to further reduce control interconnections. In an advanced embodiment, the printhead driver circuitry (30) includes a register (40) for converting a serial stream of print enable signals from the printer (12) into format for applying such signals concurrently to switching devices (46) for one or more heater resistors (44). An address generator (34) on the printhead (14) generates address signals in response to an address generating signal from the printer (12). The printer (12) provides constant power to the printhead (14) so that energizing of the heater resistors (44) is a function of the address and print enable signals and not of the power. Variations on the basic and advanced embodiments are also shown and described.

Abstract: Selon un procédé de production de papier photographique, un papier de support photographique est enduit d'une ou plusieurs couches d'émulsion photographique d'halogénure d'argent et d'une ou plusieurs couches de colloïde hydrophile, au moins une des couches comprenant un agent durcissant. Le support enduit est ensuite séché et conditionné à une température comprise entre 24 °C et 33 °C. Les couches photographiques et autres sur le support sont conditionnées à une humidité relative d'équilibre comprise entre 55 % et 70 %. Le support enduit est alors stocké à la température de conditionnement jusqu'à ce que les couches photographiques et autres aient atteint une dureté prédéterminée. Ce nouveau procédé de production de papier photographique réduit le temps de stockage post-production requis pour que le papier photographique atteigne un niveau acceptable de résistance à l'abrasion.

Abstract: Procédé de commande de servomoteurs, selon lequel les différences entre les caractéristiques dynamiques des machines sont absorbées par un contrôleur et les caractéristiques dynamiques sont corrigées de manière qu'elles soient sensiblement égales. Selon le procédé, on effectue un traitement de lissage de priorités. Si, par convention, les données de lissage de la période actuelle sont représentées par SMD0, et les données de la période précédente sont représentées par SMD1, alors la quantité d'action directe de position FFp est calculée selon l'équation suivante: FFp = alpha{(1-k)SMD0 + kSMD1}, dans laquelle alpha représente un coefficient d'action directe de position. En précisant la valeur d'un paramètre k compris dans l'équation, on peut régler les caractéristiques de réponse des machines, le contrôleur compris. Ainsi, même lorsqu'on effectue simultanément des interpolations d'au moins deux axes, on peut sensiblement égaliser leurs caractéristiques dynamiques.
