Abstract: An assembly line includes a printing device for printing solder on a land of a circuit board, a mounting device for mounting an electric component at a predetermined position of the solder, and a soldering device for soldering the land to a terminal of the component. A monitored items detecting device detects predetermined to be monitored items of the board and equipment used in the printing, mounting, or soldering devices, and a control device analyzes a condition of the equipment and quality of the board with reference to warning criterion which do not exceed failure criterion, and then dynamically controls the various devices accordingly.

Abstract: Disclosed are (1) a method for preparing an aromatic secondary amino compound which comprises reacting an N-cyclohexylideneamino compound in the presence of a hydrogen moving catalyst and a hydrogen acceptor by the use of a sulfur-free polar solvent and/or a cocatalyst, and (2) a method for preparing an aromatic secondary amino compound which comprises reacting cyclohexanone or a nucleus-substituted cyclohexanone, an amine and a nitro compound corresponding to the amine in a sulfur-free polar solvent in the presence of a hydrogen moving catalyst, a cocatalyst being added or not added. In a further aspect, a method is provided for the preparation of aminodiphenylamine by reacting phenylenediamine and cyclohexanone in the presence of a hydrogen transfer catalyst in a sulfur-free polar solvent while using nitroaniline as a hydrogen acceptor.

Abstract: A multi-stage metallic pump or chemical pump with plural impellers arranged in series. The impeller of the 1st-stage is integrally provided with radial flow ribs on the under surface of the impeller and with backside radial ribs on the upper surface of the impeller, which are larger than the front radial flow ribs as regards the diameter of the circle formed by the tips of the respective ribs. A flange is formed as an extension beyond the circumference of the 1st-stage impeller and is integrally provided with a protruding ring on the upper surface of the flange. The protruding ring rotates in a fixed recess formed in a casing, with a certain gap kept. Because of the rotation, the liquid which flows into the clearance between the fixed wall of the casing and the rotating ring creates a turbulent flow there, preventing movement of air there through.
