Abstract: According to an aspect of the disclosure, a glass manufacturing system includes a hot-end subsystem, including: a submerged combustion melter that melts feedstock to produce molten glass; a stiller that receives the molten glass from the submerged combustion melter and that includes a stilling tank to still the molten glass and that is configured to control outflow of the stilled molten glass to effectively decouple viscosity of the molten glass from the flow rate of the molten glass and thereby control finer molten glass levels; and a finer that is mechanically decoupled from the stiller, and that receives and fines the stilled molten glass to produce fined molten glass. Many other aspects of the system are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of L-acylcarnitine for the preparation of a drug and a technique for relieving the disease symptoms appearing in AIDS by administering an L-acylcarnitine. The invention furthermore relates to a drug for this purpose, characterized in content by L-acylcarnitine as active principle. The preferred L-acylcarnitine is L-acetylcarnitine.

Abstract: A nucleophilic alkoxylated compound is bridged as a polyurethane by a polyisocyanate derivative or as a polyester by a polyacid derivative. A desensitizing ink for wet offset printing on an acceptor surface of a chemical duplicating set is thus obtained.

Abstract: A desensitizing ink for wet offset printing on the acceptor surface of a chemical duplicating set of superimposed sheets where one of the sets has an electrophilic acceptor coating and the other a nucleophilic coating for producing a chromogenic reaction wherein the nucleophilic desensitizing ink contains an alkoxylated nucleophilic compound which permits a continuous ink transfer to the water repellant zones of the wetted impression plate of an offset press and simultaneously neutralizes the corresponding zones of the acceptor surface.
