Abstract: The present invention relates to a transfer gear-box having a casing, an input shaft, a rear output shaft, a front output shaft, and two planet gear sets, the rear output shaft being arranged co-axially to the input shaft, the front output shaft being offset in relation to the input shaft, the two planet gear sets being arranged co-axially to the input shaft, the first planet gear set being a simple planet gear set and consisting of a ring gear, a sun wheel, a planet carrier, and several planet wheels, which are rotatably mounted to the planet carrier, the second planet gear set being a simple planet gear set and consisting of a ring gear, a sun wheel, a planet carrier, and several planet wheels, which are rotatably mounted to the planet carrier.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing organic nitriles such as Acetonitrile or Hydrogen Cyanide, in which yields may exceed 90%, undesirable by-products are not produced, and handling of ammonia gas is avoided. In one aspect, a process includes preparing a feed including ammonium salts and water; introducing the feed into a reactor containing a catalyst; and heating the feed in the presence of the catalyst. The catalyst may advantageously include molybdenum on a silica or silica alumina support. The feed may be ammonium acetate in water with about 50 wt % ammonium acetate and the balance water or ammonium formate in water. In another aspect, a process includes preparing a feed including ammonium hydroxide and acetic acid; introducing the feed into a reactor containing a catalyst; and heating the feed in the presence of the catalyst.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a building automation system, and, more particularly, to an Internet-centric, open, extensible software and hardware framework supporting all aspects of control and monitoring of a smart building ecosphere. The present invention further relates to an “intelligent,” real-time control system capable of both autonomous process control and interaction with system users and system administrators, which is configured to accommodate functional extensions and a broad array of sensors and control devices. The system allows individuals to communicate, monitor and adjust their personal environmental preferences (temperature, light, humidity, white noise, etc.) much like they would in an automobile, via the Internet. The system is equipped with an occupancy sensor that recognizes the presence and identity of the individual.

Abstract: A method and system for release etching a micro-electrical-mechanical-systems (MEMS) device from a substrate. In one aspect, the invention is a method comprising (a) supporting at least one substrate having a sacrificial oxide and a non-sacrificial material in a process chamber at a pressure and at a temperature; (b) introducing a gas phase mixture comprising a halide-containing species and an alcohol vapor selected from a group consisting of ethanol, 1-propanol, and an aliphatic alcohol having four carbon groups into the process chamber, the gas phase mixture having a volumetric ratio of the halide-containing species to the alcohol vapor of approximately 2 or less; and (c) etching the sacrificial oxide with the gas phase mixture. In another aspect, the invention is a system for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A light emitting display comprising a first electrode layer on a substrate. The electrode layer is patterned to form a plurality of laterally spaced apart strips in a first direction. A plurality of spacedly disposed light emitting organic elements with a second electrode layer atop are disposed on the first electrode layer in a second direction. An undercut structure made of an undercut pattern transfer layer and an overlaying pattern transfer layer. The undercut structure is disposed between the plurality of spacedly disposed light emitting organic elements. A light emitting display having a color isolation well. The color isolation well is characterized by a first well layer and a second well layer in which the first well layer matches a property of an emissive polymer or small molecule dye held by the well whereas the second well layer does not match the property.

Abstract: An optical reading head is described which is particularly designed to read codes generally formed by fluorescent or phosphorescent bars. The codes are carried by a support, such as an envelope which moves past the head at a relatively high speed. The support carrying the code is illuminated from a light source through a set of outgoing optical fibers, and the modulated light retransmitted by the code markings is conveyed through a set of incoming optical fibers to a processing device. Such a reading head is particularly adapted for use in a postal sorting system.

Abstract: A light-conducting fiber, or a bundle of such fibers, is provided with a ht-absorbing shield extending beyond an end face of the fiber or bundle proximal to a light-reflecting object. The shield forms a light-guiding channel, of a length substantially exceeding its width, which limits the effective aperture angle of the fiber or bundle to considerably less than its inherent value on the order of 60.degree..
