A method of making surfactants from lignin is disclosed by reducing lignin in the presence of a metal oxide or iron based catalyst in an organic hydrogen donor solvent to produce lignin phenol and subjecting the lignin phenol to one or a combination of several reactions such as alkoxylation, alkylation, sulfonation, sulfation, alkoxysulfation, and sulfomethylation. The lignin surfactants so produc...

In the continuous production of alkyl (meth)acrylates (AA) by reacting (meth)acrylic acid with 1-8 carbon (C) monohydric alkanols in the presence of an acid esterification catalyst; (a) a product mixture (PM) containing AA, the catalyst and a by-product (BP) with a higher b.pt. than AA is discharged from the reaction zone; and (b) AA is separated from PM by distillation in a separation zone. The n...

A zipper strip for a reclosable package having a transverse zipper is provided. The zipper strip comprises a male interlocking profile and a female interlocking profile. Each profile includes an interlocking member and an integral web which defines a leading flange. The leading flanges are sealed to thermoplastic film material which is used to make the reclosable packages and to each other. One of...

A method for assigning keys to a plurality of devices in a public key cryptographic system includes generating a set of more than one master private keys; calculating for each master private key a corresponding master public key; installing in each of the plurality of devices a corresponding device private key derived as a linear combination of at least two of the master private keys from the set ...

A BCC type hydrogen-absorbing alloy, which uses a ferroalloy, is advantageous from the aspect of the production cost and exhibits excellent hydrogen absorption and desorption characteristics due to a fine structure constituted by spinodal decomposition even when the iron component is increased. The hydrogen-absorbing alloy is expressed by the general formula A x Va y B z, where A is at least one o...

Method and apparatus for reducing NOx production during air-oxygen-fuel combustion by providing a central core of fuel surrounded by a sheath of oxygen at a combustion end of an air-oxygen-fuel burner. Diametrically opposed air passages are provided on either side of the oxygen sheath to permit entrainment of furnace gases into a flame zone created by primary combustion of fuel and oxygen. Oxygen ...

Fuel feeding system for an engine with several cylinders, especially a large diesel engine, in which the fuel is fed from a fuel tank (1) by means of a high pressure pump (4) into a pressure supply, from which it is fed further by means of injectors (15) into the cylinders of the engine, whereby the pressure supply of fuel includes at least two separate pressure accumulator units (12), which each ...

A high output level is maintained in power supplies having multiple cells in each leg. Failed cells in any leg are bypassed to provide a current path through the respective leg. All of the unfailed cells are utilized while maintaining equal magnitude between phases and a balance phase relationship in the line-to-line output voltage. The invention may be utilized in conjunction with a peak voltage ...

A cutting tool (30) mounted inside the cartridge casing (1) is held in place by a temperature-sensitive locking tool (42) and in the event of fire the temperature increase causes the cutting tool to be released, and a spring-loaded trigger (31) fires the tool along a groove in the bottom compartment (3) of an open support 4) inside the casing. A bag (24) filled with liquid and held in the top comp...

The actual total weight is determined by measuring the acceleration current strength (A) for the motor whilst the vehicle is carrying a load, measuring the degree of acceleration (B) caused by the acceleration current strength, and measuring the constant speed current strength (C) of the electric motor. (C) is subtracted from (A) and the resulting figure compared with (B) in order to calculate max...

The device comprises a long superconducting-normal conducting-superconducting (SNS-3) joint with a normal conductor connected to the normal conducting part of the joint via a tunnel for electron injection. Independent claims are also included for (a) a method for regulating an SNS-3-type device by regulating emitter-collector current (Isd) at constant applied voltage, with the aid of a base curre...

The invention provides an arrangement for detecting ionization in the combustion chamber of a combustion motor where the fuel self-ignites by means of compression, as well as associated measurement device and calibration devices. A measurement tip extends substantially down into a main combustion chamber, which provides access to the portion of the combustion chamber where combustion first starts....
