Abstract Peanuts are graded at farmer marketing for value determination. The grading procedure requires kernel sizing which is facilitated with perforated screens oscillated with a mechanical vibrator. The vibrator operates for 20-sec periods and is controlled by a hand-adjustable, mechanical timer. The durability of the timer is unsatisfactory and it frequently fails during a single grading season. Subsequent maintenance and replacement costs prompted the development of two more durable timing units. Solid state timers were utilized in both units. Construction of the two units was the same except a mechanical relay was used for switching in one but a solid state relay in the other. During durability testing, a prototype timing device with a mechanical relay switched on and off 11,020 times over an 8-d period before failing. A timing device with a solid state relay switched on and off 68,621 times over a 22-d period without failing. During field testing, six timing units with mechanical relays and five timing units with solid state relays operated an estimated 6000 cycles each at peanut buying points throughout a peanut harvest season without failure.

The title compound, trisodium dicobalt(II) (arsenate/phosphate) (diarsenate/diphosphate), was prepared by a solid-state reaction. It is isostructural with Na3Co2AsO4As2O7. The framework shows the presence of CoX22O12(X2 is statistically disordered with As0.95P0.05) units formed by sharing corners between Co1O6octahedra andX22O7groups. These units form layers perpendicular to [010]. Co2O6octahedra andX1O4(X1 = As0.54P0.46) tetrahedra form Co2X1O8chains parallel to [001]. Cohesion between layers and chains is ensured by theX22O7groups, giving rise to a three-dimensional framework with broad tunnels, running along thea- andc-axis directions, in which the Na+ions reside. The two Co2+cations, theX1 site and three of the seven O atoms lie on special positions, with site symmetries 2 andmfor the Co,mfor theX1, and 2 andm(× 2) for the O sites. One of two Na atoms is disordered over three special positions [occupancy ratios 0.877 (10):0.110 (13):0.066 (9)] and the other is in a general position with full occupancy. A comparison between structures such as K2CdP2O7, α-NaTiP2O7and K2MoO2P2O7is made. The proposed structural model is supported by charge-distribution (CHARDI) analysis and bond-valence-sum (BVS) calculations. The distortion of the coordination polyhedra is analyzed by means of the effective coordination number.

The title compound, lithium/sodium iron(III) bis[orthomolybdate(VI)], was obtained by a solid-state reaction. The main structure units are an FeO6octahedron, a distorted MoO6octahedron and an MoO4tetrahedron sharing corners. The crystal structure is composed of infinite double MoFeO11chains along theb-axis direction linked by corner-sharing to MoO4tetrahedra so as to form Fe2Mo3O19ribbons. The cohesion between ribbonsviamixed Mo—O—Fe bridges leads to layers arranged parallel to thebcplane. Adjacent layers are linked by corners shared between MoO4tetrahedra of one layer and FeO6octahedra of the other layer. The Na+and Li+ions partially occupy the same general position, with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.631 (9):0.369 (1). A comparison is made withAFe(MoO4)2(A= Li, Na, K and Cs) structures.

Actuating torque data from field testing of a 122-centimeter (48 in.) butterfly valve with a hydro/pneumatic actuator is presented. The hydraulic cylinder functions as either a forward or a reverse brake. Its resistance torque increases when the valve speeds up and decreases when the valve slows down. A reduction of flow resistance in the hydraulic flow path from one end of the hydraulic cylinder to the other will effectively reduce the hydraulic resistance torque and hence increase the actuating torque. The sum of hydrodynamic and friction torques (combined resistance torque) of a butterfly valve is a function of valve opening time. An increase in the pneumatic actuating pressure will result in a decrease in both the combined resistance torque and the actuator opening torque; however, it does shorten the valve opening time. As the pneumatic pressure increases, the valve opening time for a given configuration approaches an asymptotical value.

Laser Model

A detailed theoretical model for the description of generation dynamics of diode laser longitudinally pumped solid‐state lasers with active and/or passive Q‐switching using traveling wave approach is presented. The results of numerical simulations and analysis show that the distribution of generated laser pulse intensity and the other laser parameters along the resonator is very inhomogeneous. Therefore, the widely used point laser model cannot give accurate results when inside the resonator there are active or passive elements which lead to the strong modulation of the generated pulse intensities.

We found that 4,5- diphenyl- 3(2- propynyl) thio- 1??-triazole [1? forms a complex with Pd (11) ion of ratio 1:1 which absorbs light in CH2CI2 at 400 nm, and 4,5- diphenyl- 3(2- propenyl) thio- 1,2,4- triazole [II] forms complexes with Pd (II) ion of ratio 1:1 which absorbs light at 390 nm, and of ratio 2:1 which absorbs light at 435 nm. On the other hand, we found that the new derivative 4- phenyl- 5( p- amino phenyl) -3- mercapto- 1,2,4- triazole ?111? forms complexes with Cu (II) ion of the ratio 1:1 which absorbs light at 380 nm, with Ni (II) ion of the ratio 3:1 which absorbs light at 358 nm; and with Co (11) ion of the ratio 3.2:1 which absorbs light at 588 nm. The ratio of the complexes were determined by measuring the electronic spectra of the complexes in CH2G2 and (CH^NCHO at different concentrations ofthe ligands and f?xed ' •' of the metal ion in every case, then applying the molar ratio plots on the data. Our results were confirmed by precipitating most ofthe above complexes in solid state, and then each complex was analyzed elementally.

AbstractTo understand amorphous and structurally disordered materials requires the application of a wide-range of advanced physical probe techniques and herein a combined methodology is outlined. The relatively short-range structural sensitivity of solid state NMR means that it is a core probe technique for characterizing such materials. The aspects of the solid state NMR contribution are emphasized here with examples given from a number of systems, with especial emphasis on the information available from 17O NMR in oxygen-containing materials. 17O NMR data for crystallization of pure sol-gel prepared oxides is compared, with new data presented from In2O3 and Sc2O3. Sol-gel formed oxide mixtures containing silica have been widely studied, but again the role and effect of the other added oxide varies widely. In a ternary ZrO2-TiO2-SiO2 silicate sol-gel the level of Q4 formation is dependent not only on the composition, as expected, but also the nature of the second added oxide. Sol-gel formed phosphates have been much less widely studied than silicates and some 31P NMR data from xerogel, sonogel and melt-quench glasses of the same composition are compared. The effect of small amounts of added antibacterial copper on phosphate glass networks is also explored.

The oxypentafluorouranates(VI) MUOF5, where M = NH4, K, Rb, Cs, have been synthetized from reaction of UOF4 with the ammonium or corresponding alkali metal fluoride in liquid SO2. According to X-ray diffraction, Raman and infrared spectroscopy, and from an isomorphism with the corresponding hexafluorouranates(V) MUF6, two different environments around the uranium atom are observed. In CsUOF5 the five fluorine atoms and the oxygen around the uranium result in a pseudo-octahedral surrounding whereas for the other complexes (M = NH4, K, Rb) each uranium is surrounded by eight light atoms forming a dodecahedron. In this structure the dodecahedra are linked together by fluorine atoms to form infinite chains. The UOF5− ion has been characterized by vibrational spectroscopy in the solid state. The proposed assignment, which was made with the assumption of a C4v symmetry of the UOF5− ion, was confirmed by a force constant calculation. From these data and contrary to the values reported for comparable oxypentafluoroanions, the axial fluorine is found to be less ionic than the equatorial ones.

The structure of the 1:2 co-crystalline adduct C8H16N4·2C6H5BrO, (I), from the solid-state reaction of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) and 4-bromophenol, has been determined. The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystalline adduct comprises a half molecule of aminal cage polyamine plus a 4-bromophenol molecule. A twofold rotation axis generates the other half of the adduct. The primary inter-species association in the title compound is through two intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the adducts are linked by weak non-conventional C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, giving a two-dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to thebcplane.
