Abstract: An auto hammer with a striking device includes a striking rod and a clamping mechanism. The striking rod continually strikes a component to gradually insert the component into a workpiece. The clamping mechanism includes at least one clamping element, a biasing device, a bush and a sleeve, and the clamping elements are movable between a closed position and an opened position. The bush is arranged around the striking rod so as to prevent the nail head from becoming trapped in a gap which is formed after the clamping elements are entirely opened. The biasing device is arranged for biasing the bush toward the direction of striking the component. This clamping mechanism can reliably clamp nails or other components to facilitate user operation of the device.

Title: Method for production of high purity distillate from produced water for generation of high pressure steam
Inventor: BJORKLUND DANIEL P
IPC: B01B1/00
Filed: 2010-08-05
Abstract: Embodiments presented herein provide an evaporation based zero liquid discharge method for generation of up to 100% quality high pressure steam from produced water in the heavy oil production industry. De-oiled water is processed in an evaporation system producing a distillate that allows steam to be generated with either drum-type boilers operating at higher pressures or once-through steam generators (OTSGs) operating at higher vaporization rates.  Evaporator blowdown is treated in a forced-circulation evaporator to provide a zero liquid discharge system that could recycle > 98% of the deoiled water for industrial use. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide at least one "straight sump" evaporator and at least one hybrid external mist eliminator. Embodiments of the evaporation method operate at a higher overall efficiency than those of the prior art by producing distillate at a higher enthalpy which minimizes the high pressure boiler preheating requirement.

Title: Two-stage, gas phase process for the manufacture of alkylene glycol
Inventor: NORONHA JOSEPH C
IPC: C07C29/16
Filed: 2009-07-27
Abstract: A two-stage, gas phase process for manufacturing alkylene glycol (e.g., ethylene glycol) from an alkene (e.g., ethy-lene), oxygen and water, the process comprising the steps of: (A) Contacting under gas phase, oxidation conditions gaseous alkene and oxygen over a heterogeneous oxidation catalyst to produce a gaseous oxidation product comprising alkylene oxide, water and unreacted alkene; (B) Contacting under gas phase, hydrolysis conditions the gaseous oxidation product of (A) with added water over a heterogeneous hydrolysis catalyst to produce a gaseous alkylene glycol and unreacted alkene; and (C) Recycling the unre-acted alkene of (B) to (A). The hydrolysis catalyst is selected from the group consisting of hydrotalcites, metal-loaded zeolites, phosphates, and metal-loaded ion-exchanged molecular sieves. The process improves over the conventional two-stage process by the elimination of steps and equipment to recover and refine alkylene oxide, the use of less water in the hydrolysis reaction, and the elimination of the entire evaporation train used in the recovery of alkylene glycol.

Title: Orally disintegrating coated tablet
Inventor: TAKAKI SUGURU
IPC: A61K47/32

Abstract: Disclosed is a stable orally disintegrating coated tablet containing a medicament, which is coated with a coating layer that contains a water-soluble substance and not less than 5% by weight of a polyvinyl alcohol resin relative to the weight of the coating layer. The water-soluble substance is dissolved in less than 10 mL of water in an amount of 1g or more at 20°C, has a hydroxy group in each molecule, and has a molecular weight of 200 or less per unit hydroxy group. The orally disintegrating coated tablet assures rapid disintegration in the oral cavity, while being stable since no cracks occur in the coating layer even when the orally disintegrating coated tablet has swollen by moisture absorption under high humidity conditions. In addition, when a medicament that is unstable with respect to light is contained in the orally disintegrating coated tablet, decomposition of the medicament can be suppressed by blending a light shielding agent in the coating layer.
