Abstract: A system is described that includes a computing device having one or more processors and a memory. The computing device is configured to receive a first stream of first data. The computing device is further configured to perform an analysis on the first stream of first data at a first time and at a second time that is different from the first time and determine whether there is a change in the first stream of first data between the first time and the second time. In addition, the computing device is configured to, if there is a change in the first stream of first data between the first time and the second time, adjust at least one tuning parameter of an audio tuning algorithm of an audio processing system. The audio processing system is configured to process audio input using the audio tuning algorithm to generate audio output.

Abstract: A process can be used for preparing sodium and potassium alkoxides. The process is characterized by two simultaneously implemented but spatially separated reactions of an alcohol ROH with NaOH, and ROH with KOH, to give sodium alkoxide and potassium alkoxide, respectively. The vapours formed in this case contain the alcohol used and water. The vapours are combined, and the resulting mixed vapour is fed to a common distillation with recovery of the alcohol.

Abstract: A method can be used for producing alkali metal alcoholates in counter flow by reactive rectification. The alkali metal is selected from sodium and potassium. In a first part of the method, the alcohol is converted in counter flow with the respective alkali metal hydroxide. In a second part of the method, the mixture of alcohol and water obtained is separated in a rectification column, and the alcoholic vapour arising is condensed, as a result of which the temperature thereof increases. The energy dissipated during cooling of the condensed vapour is then used in the first part of the method. This permits an energy-efficient production of the alkali metal alcoholates concerned.

Abstract: An improved method is used for preparing triacetone amine while recycling the by-products. This involves treating the crude product from triacetone amine preparation, which leads to an increase in the content of compounds which react readily with ammonia. This method enables efficient recycling of the by-products formed in the synthesis of triacetone amine.
