A novel processing method of producing a solid fat products from air flotation sludge fat, vegetable soap stock and an oily liquid oil ingredient with more than 15% free fatty acid level on a fat basis is provided. The liquid fat or oil ingredient is heated to above 85 degree C., mixed with an alkali, dried to less than 18% moisture, and cooled to below 45 degree C. to convert the oily liquid fat or oil ingredient into the solid fat product in dry form. The product has the bypass fat function. T...

Techniques to process semiconductor devices whose input-output (I/O) pins are only partially operative is able to accommodate substantially all possible combinations of operative I/O pin patterns. Semiconductor devices are tested to determine which I/O pins are operative. A code representing which I/O pins are operative is then associated with each tested device. The generated codes are used to selectively combine two or more semiconductor devices to form a component capable of providing the fun...

Reproduction accuracy of, for example a digital stereo audio signal, is improved by transmitting sample data as sub-signals such as frequency subband signals. In one or more subbands, corresponding components such as left and right stereo channels are combined so that only one composite signal is transmitted per subband. An indicator signal is transmitted, indicating which subbands are combined. Scale factor signals for all subbands, and for the relative intensity of the respective subband signa...

Compounds having acidic protons and a molecular structure which can delocalize the electron density of the conjugate base (target compounds) are chlorinated by contacting such compounds with a perchloroalkane and aqueous base in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst which is an tetraalkylammonium hydroxide. Chlorinated products, preferably gem-dichloro compounds, are produced. The gem-dichloro compounds are useful for alkylation of aromatic compounds. For instance fluorene is chlorinated to ...

A compiling method comprises the steps of analyzing the characters and phrases in the source code of a program, analyzing the syntax of the program, and analyzing the meaning of the program, a program division step of dividing the program into a plurality of processes, a data reference analysis step of analyzing the data reference relations among the individual processes obtained through the division of the program and extracting first data used only in one process of the program and second data...

A method for thermally sterilizing the interior of a vessel containing a fluid with some void space allowed therein comprises moving the vessel so as to cause the fluid contained therein to flow over its entire inner walls and irradiating microwave energy to the vessel while it is moved.

A process for preparing an intermediate compound of formula (II) ##STR00001## where n is an integer of from 3 to 14; R.sup.1 is haloC.sub.1-10alkyl, C.sub.1-10alkyl, C.sub.2-10alkenyl, C.sub.2-10cycloalkyl, carboxyC.sub.1-10alkyl, C.sub.1-10alkoxycarbonylC.sub.1-10alkyl, aryl (such as phenyl), aryl(C.sub.1-10)alkyl (such as phenyl(C.sub.1-10)alkyl) or di(C.sub.1-6alkyl)amino; and R.sup.2 is a halo group; the process comprising halogenation of a compound of formula (III) ##STR00002## where n and ...

A MIS type semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same characterized in that impurity regions are selectively formed on a semiconductor substrate or semiconductor thin film and are activated by radiating laser beams or a strong light equivalent thereto from above so that the laser beams or the equivalent strong light are radiated onto the impurity regions and on an boundary between the impurity region and an active region adjoining the impurity region.

A safety saw chain for chain saw and more particularly to the configuration of drive links and cutter links so as to get a high cutting power, to decrease the vibration, kickback, and the friction of the saw chain on the guide bar.
