Abstract: A reaction pathfinder system can leverage historical chemical reaction data and determine a synthesis route in a reaction network. The reaction pathfinder system can account for various performance criteria of chemical reactions such as a highest yield for a molecule or a minimal number of reaction steps. A reaction pathfinder system receives a user request for a synthesis route including one of a user-specified molecule or a user-specified reaction. The reaction pathfinder system may then query a reaction network that has various synthesis routes and represents reactions of reactants to produce respective molecules. The reaction network may be composed of molecule nodes and reaction nodes. The reaction pathfinder system determines, using the reaction network, the synthesis route from the synthesis routes to fulfill the user's request.

Abstract: A process is described for dyeing hydrophobic fibre material with unfinished disperse dyes from an aqueous liquor, which comprises dissolving one or more such dyes in water at a temperature of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. by means of a surfactant or surfactant mixture with a hydrotroping or solubilizing action on disperse dyes, bringing the dye solution together with the substrate in a dyeing apparatus, then heating the dyeing liquor to the dyeing temperature and completing the dyeing at that temperature and then removing the substrate and restoring the exhausted dyeing liquor to the original composition by adding water, surfactant and dye and using it again for dyeing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for dyeing hydrophobic fibre material under HT conditions with unformulated disperse dyes from an aqueous liquor, which process comprises dissolving one or more such dyes in water, in the temperature range from 70.degree. to 100.degree. C., with a surfactant or mixture of surfactants which has a hydrotropic action on disperse dyes, feeding the dye solution into a dyeing apparatus which contains water heated to 70.degree. to 100.degree. C. and substrate, and subsequently heating the dye liquor to dyeing temperature, or dissolving the dye at a temperature of over 100.degree. C. under pressure by means of the surfactant or mixture of surfactants which has a hydrotropic action on the dye, feeding the solution into a closed dyeing apparatus which contains water heated to 100.degree. to 150.degree. C. and substrate, and, in both cases, carrying out dyeing in the temperature range from 120.degree. to 150.degree. C. with constant circulation of the dye liquor.

Abstract: The method for monitoring the operative position data of each of a plurality of independent separately operable knitting machines and transferring such information to the address input of a common memory control system for controlling the patterning of each machine, is obtained by generating a pick-up pulse at each machine indicative of the passage of its needles and of the completion of each course past a given point. A continuous cycle of timing pulses each of which corresponds to a selected knitting machine for which data is to be monitored is provided. In response to each of the individual timing pulses the respective generated pick-up pulses are fed to a logic control sweep circuit, the output of which is fed to one input of an adding circuit. Simultaneously a second input is fed to the adding circuit comprising the position data information of the immediately preceding needle and course, which had been stored in a random access memory unit corresponding to the particularly monitored machine.
