Abstract: In a process for separating a hydrocarbon gas into a fraction (38) containing a predominant portion of the ethane and lighter components and a fraction (31) containing a predominant portion of the C 3  and heavier components, the feed gas is treated in one or more heat exchangers (110, 111, 112), and expansion steps (114, 116) to provide a partly condensed hydrocarbon gas (25) comprising a first residue vapour and a C 3 -containing liquid which liquid also contains lighter hydrocarbons; the partly condensed feed gas (25) is directed into a separator (118) wherein the first residue vapour is separated from the C 3 -containing liquid; and the C 3 -containing liquid (26), at substantially the pressure of separation, is directed into a distillation column (115) wherein said liquid is separated into a second residue (30) containing lighter hydrocarbons and a C 3 -containing product. In accordance with the present invention the process is improved by cooling said second residue (30) in a heat exchanger (117) to partially condense it; directing the partially condensed second residue (30) into said separator (118) forming thereby a liquid portion and a vapour portion; intimately contacting at least the first residue vapour of the feed gas (25) with at least the liquid portion of the partly condensed second residue (30) in at least one contacting stage within said separator (118), and thereafter separating the vapours and liquids from said contacting stage; supplying the liquids (26) thereby recovered to the distillation column (115) as a top liquid feed thereto: and directing the vapours (37) thereby recovered to the heat exchanger (117) for heat exchange with the second residue (30) from the fractionation column (115), thereby to partly condense the second residue, and thereafter discharging said residue gases (37).

Abstract: @ The invention relates to a method of reducing sulphur-oxide and nitrogen-oxide emissions when burning solid fuel admixed with lime powder in a boiler (1) provided with mobile grate, preferably a travelling grate (2). 
     This is effected in a first step, in which sulphur dioxide remaining in the flue gas is bound by injecting (at 28) a horizontal curtain of dolomite powder or the like into the hearth above the bed (2) in a hearth zone where the temperature at maximum is about 1050-1100°C or somewhat lower. 
     In a second step flue gas is recycled to the combustion-air inlet (7, 25) beneath the grate in an amount such that the surface temperature of the bed will not substantially exceed 1100°C, resulting in the binding of sulphur by the formation of calcium sulphate, and low nitrogen oxide emission.

Abstract: Compositions of a polyphenylene ether resin and a rubber modified, high impact polystyrene resin (HIPS) are made by a process in which styrene monomer, is polymerized in the presence of rubber to achieve an extent of monomer conversion of not less than about 90 per cent and thereby achieve crosslinking of the rubber, after which it is solution blended in a mutual solvent with a polyphenylene ether resin and the resulting polymer blend is devolatilized. The polymer composition exhibits better properties upon molding because the crosslinked rubber particles of the HIPS are more solvent resistant and better able to resist shearing during the solution blending and isolation stages, in comparison with a composition in which the styrene has undergone less than about 90 per cent conversion and the HIPS rubber particles are, for the most part, not crosslinked as a result.

Abstract: Cytokinins, particularly trans-zeatin, are produced by bacterial cells containing plasmids, produced by recombinant DNA techniques, with insert DNA (tmr and/or tzs) isolated from Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens or with insert DNA isolated from a plasmid of Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi. Three such recombinant plasmids, pCK101, pTZ120 and plP192, are obtainable from ATCC 53438, 53437, and 53436, respectively, and are produced by combining a cloning vector with tmr and tzs (pCK101), the tzs (pTZ120), and with tmr (pIP192). When both tmr and tzs are included in the same plasmid, there is a substantial elevation in trans-zeatin yield. Another recombinant is pPS003, obtainable from ATCC 53439, which was made by combining a cloning vector with ptz from the P. savastanoi plasmid.

Abstract: A filter tap for optical communication systems includes an optical resonant cavity comprising generally parallel, facing dielectric mirrors spaced to permit resonance in a selected band of channels. Optical signals from an input portion of a main trunk line carrying optical signals on a plurality of bands are coupled to one of the mirrors at an end face of the resonant cavity and are coupled from the one mirror to an output portion of the main trunk line with minimal reduction in optical signals in nonselected bands. Optical signals in the selected band are coupled from the other of the mirrors on the other end face of the resonant cavity to a branch line. In one preferred embodiment, the cavity is a finer optic resonant cavity and trunk line optical fibers are coupled directly to one of the mirrors of the cavity. Power is coupled from the input portion to the output portion of the trunk line by evanescent coupling. A second resonant cavity can couple power in the same or a different band to a second branch line. Optical pumping can be utilized at the filter tap for optical signal amplification. The filter tap can include a macro-optical resonant cavity and lenses for directing optical signals between optical fiber cores and the resonant cavity.

Abstract: The panel saw has an upright supporting grid (2) with vertical and horizontal supporting bars (2a and 2b resp.). The pivotable saw unit (6) is attached to a displaceable beam (5). In order to reliably pick up the wood dust which collects behind the panel (P) to be sawed and which according to the invention amounts to 3 to 5% of the total wood dust quantity, a continuous cover element (7) is fixed to the rear side of the supporting grid (2). Moreover, a rotatably mounted spindle (A) with a sealing foil (10) which can be rolled up is arranged in the marginal area of the supporting grid (2). The sealing foil (10) is brought to bear against the panel edge adjacent to it by a counterweight arrangement (G) having tension cables (12, 18). Flow channels (K) are thereby formed between the horizontal supporting bars (2b), which flow channels (K) are defined on the rear side by the cover element (7) and on the front side by the panel (P) and the sealing foil (10). All the channels (K) open into a vertical collecting channel (8) which is connected to an extraction fan via a line (9). Owing to this arrangement, the remaining dust collecting behind the panel (P) can also be reliably extracted.

Abstract: The cylinder lock has a locking cylinder which is rotatable in a housing and is provided with a profiled key channel and cylinder pins which project into the latter, stand in one position of the locking cylinder on spring-loaded housing pins, and are of conical construction at their other ends. In order to increase security against intrusion in a lock of this type, provision is made for a gap to be present between at least one side wall of the key channel (9) and the outer surfaces of the cylinder pins (7), at least in their end regions facing away from the housing pins (4). By this means, when a probing tool is introduced into the key channel, it slides off into the gap between the cylinder pins and the wall of the key channel, which makes the feeling and pressing-down of the further cylinder pins considerably more difficult, if not impossible. <IMAGE>
