Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods for data analysis of experimental data. The analysis can include reference data that are not directly generated from the present experiment, which reference data may be values of the experimental parameters that were either provided by a user, computed by the system with input from a user, or computed by the system without using any input from a user. Another example of such reference data may be information about the instrument, such as the calibration method of the instrument.

Abstract: A governor system assembly and related method for assembling the same. The assembly may include a governor gear, a weight, and a locking pin pivotably coupling the weight to the governor gear along a pivot axis. The locking pin includes a locking segment rotatable into engagement with the gear about the pivot axis for securing the pin to the gear. In one assembly, the locking pin is rotatable between an unlocked position in which the locking pin is axially removable from the gear and a locked position in which a locking pin is not axially removable when the locking segment engages the gear. The locking pin may be L-shaped in some assemblies.

Abstract: A footwear storage device includes a housing member having a generally hollow interior portion. Such housing member is manufactured from a first predetermined material and has a first predetermined size and shape. At least one drawer type member manufactured from a second predetermined material and having a second predetermined size and shape is operably connected to such housing member at a predetermined location within such generally hollow interior portion. A supporting means is operably disposed within such at least one drawer member for supporting a plurality of predetermined items of footwear. A means having a first portion operably disposed on such drawer type member at a predetermined location thereon and a second mating portion operably disposed on such housing member at a predetermined location thereon enables such drawer type member to extend to a position outside of such interior portion and to retract to a position within such interior portion.

Abstract: Metal fluoride and carbon are fed to a plasma flame to form a gaseous reaction mixture which is quenched to form tetrafluoroethylene. The plasma flame can be formed from a non-reactive gas and the metal fluoride and carbon then become part of the plasma flame when fed into it. Alternatively, one of the reactants can form the plasma flame and then the other reactant is fed into it.

Abstract: Halocarbon is carbonized at a temperature of at least 600.degree. C. in the presence of excess hydrogen and the absence of water to obtain carbon and anhydrous haloacid as the primary reaction products.

Abstract: A single step, vapor phase process for the chlorofluorination of methane forms trifluoromethane and/or tetrafluoromethane in high yield. A Cr.sub.2 O.sub.3 catalyst is preferred.

Abstract: Halogen-containing organic compounds are reacted with alkali metal or earth alkaline metal carbonate and/or oxide to convert the halogen component of the compound to halide of the metal, thus converting a liquid or gaseous compound to a solid halogen-containing compound for use or safe landfill disposal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to syntheses of perfluoropropane-- .e., octafluoropropane--from acyclic three-carbon hydrocarbons or partially or totally halogenated acyclic three-carbon hydrocarbons.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multistep syntheses of hexafluoropropylene from hexachloropropylene. In all these syntheses the first step is a fluorination of the starting material; later steps convert the initial products to CF.sub.3 --CFCl--CF.sub.3, which is dehalogenated to the desired product.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multistep syntheses of hexafluoropropylene from acyclic three-carbon hydrocarbons or partially halogenated acyclic three-carbon hydrocarbons. In all these syntheses the first step is a vapor-phase chlorofluorination of the starting material to one or more saturated chlorofluorocarbons. Novel catalysts are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multistep syntheses of hexafluoropropylene from propane, propylene or partially halogenated acyclic three-carbon hydrocarbons. In all these syntheses the first step is a vapor-phase chlorofluorination of the starting material to the unsaturated chlorofluorocarbon CF.sub.3 CClCCl.sub.2.
