Abstract: Systems and methods for producing a carbonaceous paste are provided. The systems and methods may include a paste control system that obtains an image of the carbonaceous paste and determines whether operational parameters associated with paste production require adjustment. One or more operational variables may be adjusted based on the obtained images to facilitate production of the carbonaceous paste.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel 3-(cyclohexano-heteroarylidenyl)-2-indolinone compounds and physiologically acceptable salts and prodrugs thereof which are expected to modulate the activity of protein tyrosine kinases and therefore to be useful in the prevention and treatment of protein tyrosine kinase related cellular disorders such as cancer.

Abstract: A radial saw blade is formed of a flat disc having peripheral edge including circular peripheral portions and recessed stepped peripheral portions. The peripheral edge includes spaced apart, radially inwardly extending notches. Each notch has a flat, plate-like insert brazed to an L-shaped seat in the notch facing the direction of rotation. Each insert has cutting edges formed on side edges of the inserts which extend axially from both sides of the disc and on a crown edge extending radially from the peripheral edge of the disc. The side and crown edges each have beveled surfaces extending away from the direction of rotation to define a relief angle. A first set of the notches are positioned about the circular peripheral portion of the peripheral edge. The inserts in the first set of notches make the primary cut in both linear and non-linear passes.
