Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic tape driving device of a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus designed to cause an idler gear (1) to be in rotating contact with a take-up reel (5) or a feed reel (4) according to a rotational direction related to operation of a driving gear (2) when a magnetic tape is driven forward or rewound quickly, thereby selectively to transmit the driving force of the driving gear (2) to the take-up reel (5) or feed reel (4) through the idler gear (1). When the idler gear (1) is in rotating contact with the take-up reel (5) or feed reel (4) a control portion (8) detects that FG pulses of both the take-up reel and feed reel are generated from FG pulse generating portions (7, 6) provided at both the take-up reel and feed reel, that is, the control portion (8) detects that both reels are rotating, and confirms that the rotating contact of the idler gear (1) with take-up reel (5) or feed reel (4) has been completed normally. If an FG pulse of only one reel is generated, that is, when only one reel is rotating, or when FG pulses of neither reel are generated, that is, when neither reel is rotating, the control portion (8) judges that faulty rotating contact of the idler gear with the take-up reel or feed reel has occured and issues a command to the idler gear driving portion (11) to return the idler gear (1) to a position where it does not contact the driving gear (2) so that the operation of rotating contact of the idler gear (1) with the take-up reel (5) or feed reel (4) is attempted again. 
     According to the above arrangement, it is made possible to prevent irregular movement caused by the occurrence of reverse rotating contact or mechanical lock when the idler gear (1) is being brought into rotating contact with the reel.

Abstract: A catalytic dewaxing process in which a waxy hydrocarbon feed is dewaxed over binder-free zeolite dewaxing catalyst. The absence of binder reduces catalyst aging especially when operating at controlled space velocities in the range of 0.25 to 1.5 LHSV. The process is especially useful with lube oil stocks where aging problems are particularly severe, typically highly waxy stocks or stocks containing high levels of nitrogen. Preferred catalysts are the intermediate pore size zeolites such as ZSM-5, ZSM-11 and ZSM-23.

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB88/00356 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 2, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 2, 1989 PCT Filed May 6, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/09093 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 17, 1988.A method and control system for controlling a signal from each outstation in a multiple access passive optical network including a central node and a plurality of outstations involves monitoring, at the exchange, the value of a parameter of a signal from reach outstation. The value of the parameter is monitored relative to a predetermined discrimination value to detect the signal relative to predetermined first and second reference values defining a range of acceptable values for the parameter. If the value of the parameter for a detected signal falls outside the range, a control signal is transmitted from the node to instruct the relevant outstation to alter the value of the parameter as required to bring the value into the acceptable range for subsequent signals originating from that outstation. The method and system are particularly adapted for controlling the temporal position and the amplitude of outstation signals in a TDM passive optical network. A transceiver for use with such a system is also disclosed.

Title: Tocopherol-based pharmaceutical systems.
Inventor: JANOFF ANDREW S
IPC: A61K9/127
Filed: 1988-10-19
Abstract: A method for making a pharmaceutical composition is described. The composition is comprised of an organic acid derivative of alpha tocopherol, and may additionally comprise other lipids. The composition may be in the form of liposomes, and as such are associated with or entrap a bioactive agent. Particularly suited for such systems are drugs stable at acidic pH, for example drugs having imidazole groups, such as pilocarpine. The composition requires a stabilizer to maintain the bilayer phase of the organic acid derivative of alpha tocopherol in a low pH environment. Such a stabilizer is for example a detergent. Upon in vivo administration of the system and concomitant increase of pH, viscosity of the preparation increases.
