IPC: C07C41/03
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing glycols. Such a method is particularly useful for preparing ethylene glycol from ethylene oxide and water. The method of this invention is a synergistic combination of the process of evaporation, absorption, and reaction, combined to enhance reactions of yields for reactions of epoxides with compounds containing hydroxy functional groups. Such method comprises making glycol in an evaporation column reactor as follows: (a) feeding a hydroxy compound into the reactor; (b) feeding an epoxide into the reactor such that the epoxide compound is contacted with hydroxyl compound in a reaction zone under conditions such that substantially all of the epoxide reacts to form a product comprising a glycol which is dissolved in liquid hydroxyl compound; (c) removing the mixture of liquid hydroxyl compound and dissolved glycol away from the reaction zone; and (d) heating the mixture of liquid hydroxyl compound and dissolved glycol such that at least some of the hydroxyl compound is evaporated away from the glycol; and (e) condensing and refluxing the evaporated hydroxyl compound and combining it with the hydroxyl compound of Step (a). In one aspect of the invention, the epoxide feed described in Step (b) enter the reactor through at least two distinct ports within the reactor. In another aspect of this invention, the method is synergistically conducted in at least two sequential evaporation columns which together form a multiple effect evaporation column reactor.

Title: Object oriented method and system to draw 2d and 3d shapes onto a projection plane
Inventor: JAIN RAJIV
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: A computer method (500-570) draws overlapped two-dimensional shapes (A, B) and two-dimensional projections of three-dimensional shapes (C') onto a projection plane (102) in a system of world coordinates (X, Y, Z). The method instantiates a plurality of two-dimensional geometry class objects (320', 320"), each of which includes an order attribute (ORDER) specifying an overlapped position for depicting a corresponding two-dimensional shape (A, B) on the projection plane (102) positioned orthogonally to the Z coordinate of the world coordinate system. The method (500-570) instantiates a three-dimensional geometry class object (330', 330") including a Z-value (Z-value) for a position along the Z world coordinate of the three-dimensional shape (C'). The method sorts the plurality of two-dimensional geometry class objects by their respective order attributes in a sorting table in the memory (510). The method sorts the three-dimensional geometry class object by its Z-value in the sorting table and orders it in a composite order with the two-dimensional class objects in the sorting table (520). The method then draws the two-dimensional shapes (A, B) and two-dimensional projections of the three-dimensional shapes (C') onto the projection plane (102) in the composite table (400) order, to depict an overlapped appearance of the shapes.

Abstract: Un procédé permettant de former une structure en voile ayant un gradient de la taille des pores fait appel à une technique de filé-lié pour produire les fibres. Celles-ci sont déposées sur une surface collectrice profilée. De préférence, la surface a une forme de dôme allongé, dont la zone centrale se trouve au sommet et les zones périphériques le long des bords incurvés. Les fibres sont déposées sur la zone centrale et s'accumulent jusqu'à ce qu'elles s'écoulent sur les côtés en direction des zones périphériques. Les fibres déposées sur la zone centrale ont une taille moyenne des pores plus grande, tandis que celles déposées sur les zones périphériques ont une taille moyenne des pores plus petite et un alignement plus marqué. Un autre mode de réalisation utilise une pluralité de filières disposées en rang, dont chacune produit des fibres extrudées ayant une composition distincte. La formation d'un gradient de la taille des pores permet un meilleur contrôle de l'imbibition par capillarité et une meilleure absorption par rapport à une structure en voile, telle qu'une couche ou un article absorbant similaire. Un autre mode de réalisation comprend une source de fusion-soufflage de fibres atténuées, de préférence co-formées avec du duvet.

Abstract: A battery charger outputs a high voltage even when a power supply device
having a rechargeable battery is not connected to the battery charger so that the
battery charger can supply the high voltage to the power supply device whenever
the power supply device is connected to the output terminal of the battery charger.
This battery charger has periodic signal producing means for supplying a
periodically varying periodic signal to the output terminal by charging and
discharging a capacitor connected to the output terminal, and detecting means for
checking whether the power supply device is connected to the battery charger or
not by checking through a filter whether the periodic signal is present at the output
terminal or not. Thus, although the battery charger has no mechanical switch, it
can detect the presence of the power supply device.

Abstract: The device has two substrates separated by a sealing frame, which defines a sealed enclosure containing the liquid crystals, and spacers (8) which maintain a constant distance between the two substrates (2). The sealing frame and/or the spacers are formed from an anisotropic polymer which aligns and orientate the liquid crystal molecules. Independent claims are given for two procedures used for production of the liquid crystal display device. The first procedure involves providing a substrate with a coating of a monomer that polymerizes to an anisotropic state; coating the monomer layer with a mask having openings corresponding to the shape of the sealing frame or the spacers (8); irradiating the monomer layer through the opening with polarized radiation; and removing the mask and eliminating non-exposed monomer. The second procedure involves coating a substrate with an alignment layer; providing the alignment layer with a mesogenic monomer that polymerizes to a solid state and then a mask having openings whose contour corresponds to the shape of the sealing frame or spacers (8); irradiating the mesogenic monomer layer through the openings of the mask by means of non-polarized radiation; and removing the mask and eliminating non-exposed monomer.

Abstract: In an apparatus and method for creating a three-dimensional
model of an object, images of the object
taken from different, unknown positions are processed to
identify the points in the images which correspond to the
same point on the actual object (that is "matching"
points), the matching points are used to determine the
relative positions from which the images were taken, and
the matching points and calculated positions are used to
calculate points in a three-dimensional space
representing points on the object. A number of different
techniques are used to identify the matching points, and
a number of solutions are calculated and tested for the
relative positions, the solution which is consistent with
the largest number of matching points being selected.
In one matching technique, edges in an image are
identified by first identifying corner points in the
image and then identifying edges between the corner
points on the basis of edge orientation values of pixels,
the edges are processed in strength order to remove
cross-overs, the images sub-divided into regions by
connecting points at the ends of the edges on the basis
of the edge strengths, and matching points within
corresponding regions in two or more images are
identified.
