Abstract: Ethylidene diacetate (27), acetic acid (10), acetic anhydride (30), and methyl acetate (30) are produced directly from synthesis gas (13) via the intermediate product stream (19) containing dimethyl ether. Dimethyl ether is produced from synthesis gas (13) in a first liquid phase reactor (201) and the reactor effluent (19) comprising dimethyl ether, methanol, and unreacted synthesis gas flows to a second liquid phase reactor (301) containing acetic acid in which the oxygenated acetyl compounds are synthesized catalytically. Vinyl acetate (41) and additional acetic acid (39) optionally are produced by pyrolysis of ethylidene diacetate in a separate reactor system (401). Synthesis gas (13) is preferably obtained by partial oxidation (101) of a hydrocarbon feedstock (1) such as natural gas. Optionally, a portion (9) of the acetic coproduct is recycled to the partial oxidation reactor (101) for conversion into additional synthesis gas (13).

Abstract: An electronic device uses a pseudo-SRAM (14) having a self-refreshing function, as a memory, and a refresh timing signal having a predetermined period is supplied to the pseudo-SRAM in the operation state of the electronic device. When no key operation is performed with a keyboard (17) for a predetermined period of time, the electronic device switches a mode into an idle mode to stop supply of an operation clock to a CPU (11) and to stop supply of the timing signal to the pseudo-SRAM. When the supply of the timing signal to the pseudo-SRAM is stopped, the pseudo-SRAM operates the self-refreshing function for holding data with low power consumption. When a key operation is detected in the idle mode, a refresh timing signal having a high frequency is supplied to the pseudo-SRAM for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, the supply of a clock to the CPU is restarted, and the state of the electronic device is returned to a normal operation state.

Abstract: A method for operating a processor-controlled machine, and a machine having a processor, are disclosed for producing human perceptible output related to an image display feature presented in an original image using the model data structure (the model) from which the original image was produced. In response to the display of an output producing region displayed coextensively with a first image segment including a display feature representing a data item in the model, some form of human perceptible output is produced using the data item and presented by an output utilization device at the same time as the first image (190) is being displayed, giving the perception to a machine user of providing information related to the display feature in the first image segment. In one aspect of the invention, the human perceptible output is a second image (192) displayed in the spatial context of the first image (190) defined by the output producing region, called a viewing operation region, or VOR (186). The VOR (186) functions as a type of "visual filter", binding the second view of a original image to the display area defined by the VOR. One type of second image (192) produced shows the display feature in the first image (190) modified in the second image. The second image is produced using a new attribute value for the data item in the model represented by the image display feature in the image, producing a modified display feature that is then presented in the VOR in the spatial context of the first image, simultaneously with the display of the first image and replacing the first image segment. In one illustrated embodiment, the method operates within the environment of a rendering application executing in a graphical user interface environment. A machine user moves the VOR over a portion of a rendered image, and in response to the user's movement action, a viewing operation associated with the VOR invokes the renderer that produced the original rendered image to produce a second modified view of the original image using a new value for a global parameter data item in the scene description. The second image is then clipped to the size and shape of the VOR, and is then presented in the VOR, showing the second modified view.

Abstract: There is provided an arrangement within an electrophotographic printer (10) that helps reduce deformation in the media (300) by ensuring that the media remains under a constant tension. The arrangement uses a first roller (303) for moving the media through the electrophotographic printer at a given linear velocity. A second roller (301), place after the first roller (303), also moves the media (300) through the electrophotographic printer (10). However, the second roller (301) has a variable linear velocity, where the variable linear velocity having a maximum linear velocity that is greater than the first roller's linear velocity. Power is applied to the second roller through a clutch (301). When the maximum amount of power is being applied to the second roller (301), the clutch (301) limits the variable linear velocity to that of the first roller's linear velocity. Thus, the clutch (301) limits the variable velocity when the media (300) is under a known tension, wherein the known tension is constant in the media (300) while the media (300) moves through the electrophotographic printer (10).

Abstract: When a switch 12 is turned on, a relay coil 14b is excited by a current generated at the very moment when electric power of a dc power source 11 is supplied to a condenser 16 for actuation. Accordingly, a relay contact 14a is closed, and the power is given to a dc motor 15 via the switch 12 and the relay contact 14a. As a result, the dc motor 15 is actuated. At the same time, a part of a current running through the dc motor 15 is supplied to the relay coil 14b and brings about self-hold by which the dc motor 15 remains running. After that, when the driving of a device to be driven is forcibly regulated, an excess current passing through the dc motor 15 flows to a PTC thermistor (positive temperature coefficient thermistor) 13 which is connected in series to the dc motor 15. Owing to the excess current, the temperature of the PTC thermistor 13 is raised, and thereby the resistance of the PTC thermistor 13 is heightened. As a result, the relay contact 14a is opened to stop the dc motor 15. In a motor control circuit thus constructed, in order to prevent chattering which occurs when the dc motor 15 is operated to stop, and prevent the delay of the stop of the dc motor 15 and, additionally, lengthen the service life of the relay contact 14a, the PTC thermistor 13 is disposed to be in parallel with the condenser 16 with respect to the dc power source 11.
