  • Patent number: 6233167
    Abstract: A power-transforming device including a power-transforming body for transforming an input power into a transformed power and an output port extractably mounted in the power-transforming body for outputting the transformed power is provided. Because the electric wires and plugs of the power-transforming device can be extracted from the power-transforming body and be collected separately, the power-transforming device is very convenient to be carried and used.

  • Patent number: 6229590
    Abstract: A device for displaying desired characters in a different color by selectively combining and illuminating a plurality of display segments is equipped with a display segment group including a first display segment sub-group having four vertical multi-sided display segments and three horizontal multi-sided display segments which are disposed so as to, in conjunction with each other, form a substantially 8 shape, for illuminating a predetermined color, and a second display segment group having four vertical multi-sided display segments and three horizontal multi-sided display segments which are disposed so as to, in conjunction with each other, have a substantially 8 shape, for illuminating a color different from that illuminated by the first display segment group, wherein the horizontal multi-sided display segments of the first and the second display segment groups are narrower than the vertical multi-sided display segments thereof.

  • Patent number: 6229059
    Abstract: Using a process for the production of 1,2-dichloroethane by reacting ethylene and chlorine in the liquid phase in the presence of a catalyst, the 1,2-dichloroethane produced being drawn off in the gaseous phase, the high-boilers being separated from the 1,2-dichloroethane in a heavy-ends column and in a downstream vacuum column and the light-boilers and gases, such as ethylene and hydrogen, being separated in an EDC stripping column or in a light-ends column, a commercial-scale solution should be created to effectively remove the hydrogen chloride at the head of the stripping column or light-boiling column to avoid corrosion occurring there. This is achieved in that the cleaned 1,2-dichloroethane leaving the heavy-ends column is cleaned in the EDC stripping column or in the light-ends column by separating the light-boilers and the gases.

  • Patent number: 6211538
    Abstract: An electroluminescent (EL) device for displaying a full color image includes a substrate, e.g., made of glass, a thick-film EL layered structure including a blue light emitting thick-film EL layer, e.g., made of ZnS:Cu and a thin-film EL layered structure including a red light emitting thin-film EL layer, e.g., made of CaS:Eu. In the EL device, the thick-film EL layered structure is formed on either top or bottom of the substrate and the thin-film EL layered structure is formed either on top of the thick-film EL layered structure or on top of the substrate. In the EL device, a green light emitting EL layer is included either in the thick-film EL layered structure as a green light emitting thick-film EL layer, e.g., made of ZnS:Tb or ZnS:Cu, or in the thin-film EL layered structure as a green light emitting thin-film EL layer, e.g., made of ZnS:Tb.

  • Patent number: 6210995
    Abstract: In order to form a cavity for a fusible link in a semiconductor device, an etchable material is applied over and around a portion of the fusible link and the etchable material is coated with a protection layer. The access abutting the etchable material is formed through the protection layer. After the removal of the etchable material, the access is partially filled with a refilling material to thereby form the cavity.

  • Patent number: 6210545
    Abstract: An inventive method for forming a thin film comprises the steps of preparing a sputter-target of a material which is fully oxidized and crystallized to a perovskite structure, sputter-depositing a thin film on top of a sample with the target in an inert gas atmosphere, and annealing the thin film in non-oxygen ambient. With the use of such a target, it is possible to reduce the negative ion effect during the sputter deposition and to eliminate the presence of oxygen during the annealing process.

  • Patent number: 6193941
    Abstract: Besides a synthesis gas, a metallurgical raw material is to be produced from an oil containing heavy metals. To do this, the oil is partially oxidized and the heavy metal-containing soot is separated and burnt and the heavy metals thus occurring as ash can be taken to further processing, e.g. washing from the synthesis gas produced, using an aqueous washing solution.

  • Patent number: 6191329
    Abstract: A process for specific energy saving, especially in processes involving the oxychlorination of ethylene, facilitates recovery of as much sensible heat to be used for other purposes. In the process the gas mixture leaving the oxychlorination reactor is cooled before it enters the quenching column and the heat recovered is then used to preheat the ethylene recycle gas feed stream.

  • Patent number: 6166277
    Abstract: A process for evaporating 1, 2-dichloroethane (EDC) prior to its thermal decomposition (pyrolysis) is provided so that it facilitates the heating of the liquid-phase EDC at temperatures below 100.degree. C. to meet the inlet conditions for the pyrolysis zone, while dispensing with the need for an evaporation zone and exploiting sensible heat recovery at the same time. This is achieved in that the liquid-phase EDC is first pressurized to attain a value above its critical pressure (5.36 MPa) and then heated to attain at least its critical temperature (approx. 288.degree. C.).

  • Patent number: 6158573
    Abstract: A conveyor belt for the transport of workpieces, in particular for the suspended transport of platelike workpieces, such as metal sheets or boards generally comprises a belt body having suction orifices which are connected to a vacuum duct in a vacuum device. The conveyor belt together with the workpieces to be paid onto it are guided past the vacuum device in a transport plane direction and the workpieces are retained on the conveyor belt by generating a vacuum in the vacuum duct consequently at the suction orifices and with two or more rear sealing lips integrally formed on the belt body (2), the sealing lips engage into at least sealing gap in the vacuum device to seal off the vacuum duct. Each sealing lip is provided with its own sealing gap in the vacuum device and the sealing lips center themselves and, at the same time, seal off the vacuum duct and are held under prestress in the sealing gaps.
