Abstract: A crystalline adduct of bisphenol A and phenol is produced by crystallization of a phenolic slurry of bisphenol A. The crystallization of the slurry is performed by continuously discharging a portion of the slurry from the crystallization zone into a plurality of cooling zones and then recycling the cooled slurry to the crystallization zone. The cooling zones are connected in parallel and they are operated so that at any one time one of the cooling zones can be cleaned of deposits of crystalline adduct without stopping the process. 
An apparatus having a plurality of coolers and suitable for effecting the above crystallization process is also disclosed.

Abstract: A microcomputer 4 responds to an instruction signal to
turn the lamp L on or off to control the FET 2 to be turned on
or off through the drive circuit 5. The microcomputer 4 samples
an electric current I L  which is supplied through the A/D
converter 6 and which flows in the lamp L at every predetermined
sampling time T S  and subjects the sampled electric current I L  to
a comparison with a known rated current value I R  for the lamp L.
When I L  ≥ I R  is satisfied, the microcomputer 4 starts counting
energizing time T. When the accumulated value of I L  × T S  is
enlarged to a predetermined value S O , the microcomputer 4 turns
the FET 2 off. When the detected electric current I L  is larger
than an upper limit I O  (> I R ) determined previously, the
microcomputer 4 immediately turns the FET 2 off through the
drive circuit 5.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system for
the determination of a quality of a bonded area in a
boxmaking blank, which are suited for use with a boxmaking
apparatus adapted to continuously assemble boxes
from such boxmaking blanks (1). Owing to an ingenious
elaboration made on the manner of formation of an image
of the boded area (1C), the method and system permit an
easy determination as to whether the bonded area (1C)
is good or bad. First, a light source (10) and image
pick-up means (11) are adjusted in position so that
they are set in directions corresponding to a position
of the bonded area (1C) of the blank (1) travelling on
and along a production line and a direction of formation
of an image by the image pick-up means (11) extends
at an angle relative to a direction of an optical
axis of sheetlike light from the light source (10).
The sheetlike light is then irradiated from the light
source (10) toward the bonded area (1C) so that the
sheetlike light extends across a gap (1D) formed in the
bonded area (1C), whereby an image of the bonded area
(1C) is formed. Based on information of the image, a
width of the gap (1D) is computed to conduct a
determination as to whether the gap (1D) is good or
bad.

Abstract: A material testing machine includes a control system for
feedback-controlling, during material testing, the operation of
a servo system including an actuator for applying a load to a test
piece. During the mounting the test piece to the testing machine,
a target displacement of a movable part of the actuator is
corrected in accordance with the actual load applied to the test
piece so as to prevent the actual load from being excessive. While
the amplification factor of an amplifier for detecting the
controlled variable is being changed over during the material
testing, a control output value supplied from a digital controller
of the control system to the serve system is maintained at a value
obtained just before the changeover of the amplification factor,
whereby the detection scale factor in detecting the controlled
variable can be maintained at constant.

Abstract: A scrambled data transmission is descrambled
by communicating encrypted program information and
authentication information between an external
storage device and block buffers of a secure
circuit. The program information is communicated in
block chains to reduce the overhead of the
authentication information. The program information
is communicated a block at a time, or even a chain
at a time, and stored temporarily in block buffers
and a cache, then provided to a CPU to be processed.
The blocks may be stored in the external storage
device according to a scrambled address signal, and
the bytes, blocks, and chains may be further
randomly re-ordered and communicated to the block
buffers non-sequentially to obfuscate the processing
sequence of the program information. Program
information may be also be communicated from the
secure circuit to the external memory. The program
information need not be encrypted but only
authenticated for security.

Abstract: An ink jet printhead (10) is formed by assembling a plurality of partial width array
printheads (12) into at least two fixed parallel rows, in which the partial width array
printheads in each row are staggered from each other. The length of the rows of
staggered partial width array printheads provide for either extended swath or full
pagewidth printing capability. The overlapping end portions of each partial width array
printhead have an equal number of nozzles (14) or droplet ejecting locations therein which
are in substantial alignment with each other. A pixel location is assigned to each
nozzle or droplet ejecting location with the same pixel location being aligned to the
substantially aligned nozzles or droplet ejecting locations in the overlapping end
portions of the partial width array printheads. Each pixel location requires multiple ink
droplets in the range of zero to a fixed total from its assigned nozzles or droplet
ejecting locations. By dividing the total number of ink droplets to be directed to a pixel
location between the nozzles or droplet ejecting locations which share a pixel location
and changing the ratio of the total number of droplets between the nozzles or droplet
ejecting locations, these regions of the full width array printhead smooth out the
normal stitch effect generally present in extended or full width array printheads which
are assembled from subunits, so that the mechanical alignment tolerance can be
relaxed between the partial width array printheads without sacrificing print quality.
