Provided is a process for the production of high-purity trimellitic acid including subjecting a dimethylbenzaldehyde and/or an oxidized derivative of the dimethylbenzaldehyde to liquid-phase oxidation with molecular oxygen in an aqueous solvent containing a catalyst to produce trimellitic acid, in which: 3,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde and/or 3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid are/is used as a raw material; a cata...

A cover is provided for a substrate table in an immersion lithographic apparatus that covers at least the gap between a substrate and a recess in a substrate table in which the substrate is received.

A lithographic apparatus having a fluid handling structure configured to contain immersion fluid in a space adjacent to an upper surface of a substrate table and/or a substrate located in a recess of the substrate table, a cover including a planar main body that, in use, extends around a substrate from the upper surface to a peripheral section of an upper major face of the substrate in order to co...

The present invention relates to an electric bicycle with a battery holder provided with a battery carrier which can be moved according to a predetermined movement path between a first position, in which the battery which is carried along is not in the operating position and can be readily placed on the battery carrier and can first be initially positioned, and a second position, in which the batt...

The present invention relates a vehicle comprising a chassis extending in a longitudinal direction, at least one tag axle extending substantially transversely to said longitudinal direction, which is provided with at least one whee or on either side thereof, a braking system designed to brake the wheels of said a least one wheel axle, and a brake steering system, by means of which the brake system...

A method for optimizing expensive functions with expensive nonlinear constraints. The method includes selecting sample data for evaluating an expensive function of a simulation, generating a function proxy model for the expensive function and a constraint proxy model for an expensive nonlinear constraint of the expensive function using an approximation scheme, calculating a first solution point fo...

PURPOSE: A plastic pillow substituting a wooden pillow is provided to be economically used, to have light weight due to a shape in which an inner part is empty, and to have good smell by putting flavoring into the inner part of the plastic pillow. CONSTITUTION: A plastic pillow substituting a wooden pillow includes a pillow upper part(10) of a plastic material. A receiving part(26) is formed when ...
