Abstract: Processes for manufacturing purified aromatic carboxylic acids include: generating high-pressure steam from boiler feed water supplied to a boiler, the boiler producing a flue gas; removing a portion of the flue gas from the boiler and pre-heating the boiler feed water with removed flue gas and/or pre heating at least a portion of the boiler feed water prior to its introduction into the boiler with a first portion of the high-pressure steam; heating a crude aromatic carboxylic acid in a heating zone using the high-pressure steam, whereby the high pressure steam is condensed in the heating zone to form a high-pressure condensate; and purifying the crude aromatic carboxylic acid to form a purified aromatic carboxylic acid; wherein the boiler feed water comprises at least a portion of the high-pressure condensate.

Abstract: Processes for manufacturing purified aromatic carboxylic carboxylic acids includes: generating high-pressure steam (402) from boiler feed water supplied to a boiler (404); heating a crude aromatic carboxylic acid using the high-pressure steam (402), whereby the high pressure steam (402) is condensed to form a high-pressure condensate (426); and purifying the crude aromatic carboxylic acid to form a purified aromatic carboxylic acid. The boiler feed water includes at least a portion of the high-pressure condensate (426) and makeup boiler feed water from at least one additional source. The recycled high-pressure condensate (426) is pre-heated with an electric heater (480) using electricity generated in an off-gas treatment zone (350).

Abstract: Systems and methods which provide a hybrid network based solution for digital data file backup are shown. Embodiments utilize a transport mass storage system to provide transmission of digital data files between user equipment and a network based mass storage system. The transport mass storage system for physically transporting digital data files may be used in combination with other techniques for communicating digital data files, such as transmission of digital data files through a network link. A manifest and/or other information may be used to manage transporting, storage, and/or synchronization of digital data files. User equipment may then access the digital data files stored to the network mass storage system for various purposes using a network link. Subsequent, incremental backups and other transfers of relatively small amounts of digital data files are preferably accomplished using a network link for the transfer.

Abstract: A tool setting-aid comprising an anodized aluminum "button" and a support therefor is set up at a predetermined datum position on the worktable of a computer controlled machine tool, the machine program including a check cycle which sends the cutting tool around and over the button or, if the tool is oversize or set wrongly, into contact with the button. The button is supplied with electrical current via a cable having a resistor coupled to the button end thereof by an electronic detector circuit which includes a sensor for detecting current increase due to contact between button and cutting tool and a sensor for sensing interruption of such current due to cable breakage or a failure to properly connect it to the setting-aid.
