Patent GB-2172846-B (GB)
Title: Method for joining polyolefin pipes by fusion
Inventor: STAFFORD TREVOR GEORGE
IPC: F15B21/02
Filed: 1986-01-06
Granted: 1988-03-23
Abstract: The apparatus increases the hydraulic pressure in rams 16 until one pipe moves towards a heater plate 14. The movement is detected by a limit switch 26 and a microprocessor-based control system 28 adds a pre-programmed value of pressure to that pressure which caused the movement (drag pressure). The total pressure is applied to force the pipe ends against a heater plate 14 to form end beads (bead-up). After heating for a pre-programmed period the control system automatically initiates plate retraction and forces the pipe ends together (fusion) for another programmed period. The applied pressure is the sum of the recorded drag pressure and a pre-programmed added pressure. Operator judgement of bead size, pressures and time periods is eliminated. Pressurised fluid is supplied to the rams 16 from a pump and accumulator combination. The sense of ram motion is determined by changeover valves controlled by the control system 28.

Title: An assay tray and assembly
Inventor: MERSON JAMES RICHARD
IPC: B01L3/00
Filed: 1990-04-25
Granted: 1994-05-25
Abstract: An assay tray assembly and an assay tray primarily for chromatographic analysis has a plastics moulded test tray 1 mounted on a plastics moulded collection tray 72. The test tray has a spaced array of chambers 3 disposed as per a microtiter plate. Each chamber has a bottom outlet port 5 formed by a flange 8 which retains within the chamber a chromatographic medium to which test liquid deposited in the chamber is to be subjected for the percolate or eluate liquid to emerge from the respective outlet ports. The collection tray 72 has a spaced array of wells 16 disposed as per a microtiter plate to correspond with the chambers 3 and the tray 1 is mounted on the tray 72 for each chamber to communicate with a corresponding well 16. Each chamber 3 has a tubular spigot part 12 which extends into the respective well 16 to alleviate cross contamination of the liquid derived from the outlet ports 5. The depth of entry of the tubular spigots 12 into their respective wells 16 is restricted by abutment between the bottom of the test tray with the top of the collection tray. The volume of each well 16 beneath the tubular spigot it receives is adequate to accommodate all of the eluate or percolate derived from the chamber 3 with which it communicates to alleviate liquid on the spigot parts from dripping into wells with which those tubular spigots are not associated (and thereby cause cross contamination) when the trays are separated for analysis of the percolate or eluate. <IMAGE>

A device for performing a welding program is associated with said machine, said program being implemented as a function of the data contained within the identification codes. The data are defined on the basis of a welding law or standard to be applied as a function of various values for parameters relating at least to the thickness and diameter (or cross section) of the part considered at its abutment end, to the temperatures, lengths of time and welding pressure to be employed, the type of material constituting the part and the index or range of indices of fluidity of said material therefore defining the dynamic viscosity so that it would be possible to butt-weld tube parts if the codes of the parts are recognized as being compatible per se. In addition, it is necessary to be able to prohibit welding if the codes are recognized as being incompatible. Application to the welding of polyethylene tubes in particular.

Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of methyl tert-butyl ether and ethyl tert-butyl ether by the selective reaction of methanol and ethanol respectively with isobutylene contained in C4-hydrocarbon fractions, in particular those resulting from processes for the thermal or catalytic pyrolysis of suitable petroleum fractions. The reaction is carried out in the liquid phase, under the influence of acid catalysts, at increased temperatures and pressures and with a molar ratio of the alcohol to the isobutylene equal to or approximately equal to the stoichiometric value. To the reaction medium are added inert aliphatic hydrocarbons which are liquid under the operating conditions in order to dilute the medium to a greater extent than the dilution given by the inert hydrocarbons contained in the C4-fraction of the feed. For this purpose, in the most typical embodiment, the exhausted C4-fraction itself is recycled to the reaction medium. By means of this dilution, the thermodynamic equilibrium conditions of the reaction system are favourably influenced, and improved conversions of the isobutylene to the useful reaction product are achieved. Embodiments are disclosed which are particularly suitable for the preparation of methyl tert-butyl ether and ethyl tert-butyl ether.
