Abstract:
A catalyst composition for use in manufacturing methacrolein by reacting with one of isobutene and t-butanol, the catalyst composition being represented by the formula of: x (Mo12BiaFebCocAdBeOf)/y Z. Mo12BiaFebCocAdBeOf is an oxide compound. Z is a catalyst carrier is one of graphite, boron, silicon, germanium powder, and a mixture thereof. Mo, Bi, Fe, Co, and O are chemical symbols of molybdenum, bismuth, iron, cobalt, and oxygen respectively. A is one of W, V, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ni, and Re. B is one of K, Rb, Cs, Sr, and Ba. The catalyst is adapted to not only enhance the production of methacrolein with high activeness and high selectivity but also effectively control the heat point of the catalyst during the methacrolein manufacturing process to prolong the catalyst life.

Abstract:
A system for providing off-track wagering includes a location sensor to be carried by a racing animal in a race track and to determine the location of the racing animal, a transmitter to receive the location of the racing animal from the location sensor and transmit a first wireless signal comprising location of the racing animal, and a computer system to compute the position of the racing animal in the race track in response to the first wireless signal.
Abstract:
An automated manufacturing system comprises a computer processing system and a plurality of consolidation systems. The computer processing system receives information on product subbatches and product packages and consolidation status information to produce consolidation assignment information, each product package comprising one or more product subbatches. The consolidation systems receive the product subbatches in accordance to the consolidation assignment information and consolidate the product subbatches into product packages, wherein the status of the consolidation systems are tracked and the consolidation status information is sent to the computer processing system.

Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a method and apparatus for compensating for malperforming or inoperative ink nozzles in a multitone ink jet printhead so that high quality images are printed although some ink nozzles are malperforming or inoperative. Multitone printing is effected by printing a variety of droplets of varying volumes at a given pixel location. In compensating for a malperforming nozzle, a swath data signal is modified and one or more functional nozzles are assigned the printing data for a malperforming nozzle such that the volume of ink ultimately printed at pixel locations is substantially unchanged and the resulting image is free from degradation. Additionally, malperforming nozzles may be assigned values which represent the degree of image degradation that would be caused by printing with the malperforming nozzles, such that these values may be taken into consideration during the process of modifying the swath data signal for complementary recording.
