Abstract: An apparatus for controlling viscosity of a slurry includes a mixing module mixing raw materials for a secondary battery, and a processor performing machine learning for prediction of viscosity of the slurry, predicting viscosity of the slurry in real time during a mixing process through machine learning, and adjusting conditions of the mixing process performed by the mixing module such that a predictive viscosity of the slurry meets a target viscosity.

Abstract: An embodiment engagement structure includes an engagement bracket including an upper end configured to be engaged with a side member of a vehicle and connected to a region in which the side member is to be engaged with a sub-frame, wherein the engagement bracket comprises an inclined portion inclined downward toward a rear side of the vehicle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of 11-(4-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl]-1-piperazinyl)-dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepine. In the process, low-priced 2,2?-dithiosalicylic acid as starting material is subjected to bond formation reaction with 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene in a basic aqueous solution, a nitro group reduction reaction is conducted, cyclization and chlorination reactions are simultaneously carried out in the presence of a equivalent amount of halogenating agent, a reaction with piperazine is continuously conducted without separation, and a reaction with 2-haloethoxyethanol is conducted, thereby it is possible to economically producing Quetiapine, that is, 11-(4-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl]-1-piperazinyl)-dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepine, in an environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing 10H-dibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-11-one, including reacting dithiosalicylic acid with 1-chloro-2-nitrobenzene in a basic aqueous solution in the presence or absence of a reducing agent, to prepare 2-(2-nitrophenylsulfuryl)benzoic acid; subjecting the 2-(2-nitrophenylsulfuryl)benzoic acid to nitro group reduction in the presence of hydrogen, a solvent and a heterogeneous metal catalyst, to prepare 2-(2-aminophenylsulfuryl)benzoic acid; and directly cyclizing the 2-(2-aminophenylsulfuryl)benzoic acid in an organic solvent in the presence or absence of an acid catalyst. The method according to the present invention is economical due to the use of the inexpensive starting material, and also environmentally friendly and efficient by minimizing the use of the organic solvent and performing direct cyclization without the activation of carboxylic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of preparing an optically pure (R)- or (S)-tetrahydrofuranyl ketone. By such a method, (R)- or (S)-2-tetrahydrofuran amide is converted to (R)- or (S)-2-tetrahydrofuran nitrile through dehydration in the presence of a dehydrating agent and an amine base. Then, thus prepared (R)- or (S)-2-tetrahydrofuran nitrile is nucelophilic addition-reacted with a nucleophile, followed by hydrolyzing, thereby produce (R)- or (S)-tetrahydrofuranyl ketone having high optical purity, while minimizing production of other by-products.
