Abstract:
Survey plat documents which are not susceptible to intentional alteration or damage due to environmental conditions are made using a photographic process. A transparent photographic film is exposed and photographically processed to capture the image of a plat drawing and then protected by applying clear laminates to each side of the film using a permanent, clear adhesive.
Abstract:
A process and reaction vessel for producing alkyl nitrite is disclosed the process comprising (a) contacting nitric oxide, lower alcohol and oxygen in a reaction zone such that alkyl nitrite is formed, said reaction zone comprising a reactor section and a rectification section, (b) supplying a liquid scrubbing agent to an upper portion of the rectification section, (c) withdrawing a gaseous alkyl nitrite product stream from the upper portion of the rectification section, and (d) withdrawing a liquid stream from a lower portion of the reactor section. The reactor section provides intimate vapor-liquid contact sufficient to enhance the conversion of nitric oxide to alkyl nitrite and the rectification section provides sufficient vapor residence time to enhance conversion of oxygen, as well as sufficient rectification capabilities to reduce the amounts of water and nitric acid in the gaseous alkyl nitrite product stream.
Abstract:
Kit for preparing a package for dispensing solid products such as pills, said kit comprising:(1) at least one blister tray having a single compartment or an array of compartments, and(2) at least one sheet bearing an adhesive on one major surface thereof and having dimensions such that it is capable of covering said single compartment or said array of compartments. In another aspect of this invention, a plurality of the aformentioned sheets can be aggregated into a pad, from which the sheets can be conveniently dispensed.
Abstract:
An encrypted file is decrypted to gain access to a stored hash value for a credentials setting component. A test hash value of the credentials setting component is formed. Before decrypting a set of encrypted credentials to form decrypted credentials, it is required that the test hash value of the credentials setting component match the stored hash value of the credentials setting component. The decrypted credentials are then passed to the credentials setting component to set credentials that instructions are to be executed under.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for storage and retrieval of vehicles, particularly in parking lots surrounding shopping malls, airports, stadiums and the like is disclosed. The method includes identification of the vehicle owner and the stored vehicle with a common code utilizing a two part identifier. The first part of the identifier is used to imprint an identifying code on the vehicle owner and is also attached to the vehicle while it is stored. The second part of the identifier with the same code is attached to the vehicle's keys which are kept in a secure facility. The vehicle's description and location in the parking lot is recorded on the second part and is also inputed to a central computer which maintains data on each vehicle stored. When the vehicle owner wants to retrieve his or her vehicle, the code inprinted on the owner is read and transmitted to the area where the vehicle is stored along with the location where the vehicle is to be delivered. That code is used to locate the vehicle in the parking area, which is then driven to the location desired by the vehicle owner.
Abstract:
A continuous process is provided for preparing alkanolamines having a high yield of monoalkanolamine, which comprises continuously reacting a flowing stream of a homogeneous mixture of an alkylene oxide having from two to four carbon atoms and ammonia in a molar ratio of ammonia to alkylene oxide within the range from about 15:1 to about 50:1 at temperatures above the critical temperature of the mixture and at pressures above the critical pressure of the mixture and maintaining the mixture in a single phase having a density of at least 15 lbs./cu.ft. for the time necessary to form an alkanolamine product mixture containing at least about 65% by weight monoalkanolamine.
Abstract:
An electronic system for providing a stable, isochronous clock signal with very low jitter and slew rate to thereby permit multiplexing of data from an external source which is not synchronous with the multiplexer frame rate.
