Abstract: A process is provided for the free radical polymerization of monomers derived from substituted or unsubstituted acrylic acid/methacrylic acid and esters thereof for the production of a polymer having a narrow molecular weight distribution and an average molecular weight of less than 4000. These polymers are produced by the solution polymerizing of said monomers wherein 20-40% by weight of the monomer composition is hydroxyalkyl acrylate or methacrylate in the presence of a solvent system suitable for high solids coating applications and in the presence of an initiating amount of a tertiary alkyl hydroperoxide and/or its derivatives having at least 5 carbons wherein the initiator and monomers, alone or in combination, are added continuously at a programmed rate wherein the rate of addition corresponds approximately to the rate of decomposition of said monomer and initiator. These polymers are used for high solids coating applications.

Abstract: A photoelectric-piezoelectric velocity and impact sensor has a plurality of photoelectric light sources and associated photodetectors disposed on axes defining an array of light beams. A first electronic circuit is operatively coupled to the photodetectors for generating a signal representative of the moment in time when at least one light beam of the array is broken by a projectile passing through the array. A substantially planar transducer is disposed coplanar with and spaced apart from the array for generating a signal when the projectile strikes the transducer after passing through the array.

Abstract: Peptides and Peptide amides such as cholecystokinin (CCK-8) are synthesized in improved yields and purity by a solid phase process. The requisite protected peptide is elaborated and sulfated on a solid support, deprotected, and cleaved from the solid support to give the total synthesis of CCK-8 on a solid support. Thereafter, the peptide is purified in a single step by ion exchange chromatography to provide analytically pure CCK-8.

Abstract: Decanter pond level or radius is adjusted incrementally by means of an annular retainer plate having an eccentric recess formed in the surface thereof which faces hub openings. The recess receives a plate dam slidably therewithin. Each retainer plate or retainer, typically 6 in number, is mounted over a hub opening. The dam is mounted over the hub opening such that its weir surface substantially coincides with the rotating pond level. By rotating the retainer around the prepositioned dam in increments preset in the retainer, the dam moves radially inwardly or outwardly depending upon the position of the recess eccentricity with respect to the hub opening. The dam is provided with two different weir surfaces, each usable with a different side of the dam, thus permitting the number of adjustments to the pond level to be doubled. A modification discloses infinite or stepless pond level adjustments.

Abstract: Empty boxes for packing articles thereinto, typically fruit, are packed by handpackers, for example, stationed along a plurality of fruit packing lines, each line provided with an empty box accumulation station. As soon as a box is packed and conveyed to a palletizer, an empty box is conveyed to the accumulation station on conveyor belt means from a box buffer station in closest proximity thereto and immediately upstream thereof to stack up against the last, or most upstream of the accumulated boxes, causing each box in each upstream buffer station to be conveyed downstream to thereby maintain each buffer station satisfied, the last box of the most upstream buffer station being supplied from a main box holding station. Box movement is controlled by photocell switches inputting signals to a microprocessor indicating the absence or presence of a box at a predetermined location.
