Stacker

Lift-truck operation is veiy simple and produc tive, even at 7-m (20-ft) elevations. Aisle racks can be as high as 30 m (100 ft), but above 7 m stacker cranes are favored over hft trucks because cranes allow seiwicing high storage at high rates. The installed investment in aisle racks, inclumng a stacker crane, is about 500 per pallet.

Automatic stacker cranes were first used in a cold store in the USA in 1962 and there are now many installations throughout the world. The store height can be increased considerably, to 16-20 m, or even higher if the rack frame is used to support the roof of the cold store. The operation of such a store can be by using a crane with the operator inside the store, driving the crane from a heated, insulated cab, or can be fully automatically operated by a computer. One crane can service some 4000 pallet positions at the rate of 50 pallets per hour. 

The term leaf separator characterizes the customary stiff version of a starter battery separator that can be inserted individually between the electrodes on automatic stackers, in contrast to pocket separators. This processing requires considerably higher bending stiffness than for pocket separators, calling for thicker backwebs, typically 0.4-0.6 mm (Fig. 18 and 19).

The TEAF system can be used to reduce ketones, certain alkenes and imines. With regard to the latter substrate, during our studies it was realized that 5 2 TEAF in some solvents was sufficiently acidic to protonate the imine (p K, ca. 6 in water). Iminium salts are much more reactive than imines due to inductive effects (cf. the Stacker reaction), and it was thus considered likely that an iminium salt was being reduced to an ammonium salt [54]. This explains why imines are not reduced in the IPA system which is neutral, and not acidic. When an iminium salt was pre-prepared by mixing equal amounts of an imine and acid, and used in the IPA system, the iminium was reduced, albeit with lower rate and moderate enantioselectivity. Quaternary iminium salts were also reduced to tertiary amines. Nevertheless, as other kinetic studies have indicated a pre-equilibrium with imine, it is possible that the proton formally sits on the catalyst and the iminium is formed during the catalytic cycle. It is, of course, possible that the mechanism of imine transfer hydrogenation is different to that of ketone reduction, and a metal-coordinated imine may be involved [55]. 

Early laboratory robots were unreliable, but today, these systems perform quite well. Today s robots simply move plates from one robot-friendly position to another, such as the entrance pad of a plate reader. These simplified movements combined with the low weight of a plate allow engineering to simplify the robot designs. As seen in industrial application of robots, robots that are defined and used for a specific application will work day in and day out quite well. It is always best to keep the automation as simple as possible to get the highest level of performance. This is usually accomplished by minimizing the number of moveable parts associated with the automation. Stackers have also become more reliable. This was due, in part, to the standardization of the microplate by an effort of the Society for Biomolecular Screening (Danbury, CT, U.S.A.) in association with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI, Washington, DC, U.S.A.), but also due to the use of simpler stacker mechanisms. Today, there are many choices for devices, workstations, and fully automated systems. The selection as to which automated devices to purchase for HTS should be driven by a clear set of specifications that define the use of the automation. The choices can be expensive, and therefore, replacement may not be possible, so it is important to choose well.

E-Z Stacker and E-Z Tray are commercially available modular air strippers for the ex situ removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from groundwater. E-Z Stacker consists of 4 or 6 stacking units E-Z Tray units are arranged in pull-out drawers. The multiple sieve tray design of the E-Z Stacker uses forced-draft air bubble generation to provide VOC removal. All information is from the vendor and has not been independently verified.

The Stacker reaction has been employed on an industrial scale for the synthesis of racemic a-amino acids, and asymmetric variants are known. However, most of the reported catalytic asymmetric Stacker-type reactions are indirect and utilize preformed imines, usually prepared from aromatic aldehydes [24]. A review highlights the most important developments in this area [25]. Kobayashi and coworkers [26] discovered an efficient and highly enantioselective direct catalytic asymmetric Stacker reaction of aldehydes, amines, and hydrogen cyanide using a chiral zirconium catalyst prepared from 2 equivalents of Zr(Ot-Bu)4, 2 equivalents of (R)-6,6 -dibromo-1, l -bi-2-naphthol, (R)-6-Br-BINOL], 1 equivalent of (R)-3,3 -dibromo-l,l -bi-2-naphthol, [(R)-3-Br-BINOL, and 3 equivalents of N-methylimida-zole (Scheme 9.17). This protocol is effective for aromatic aldehydes as well as branched and unbranched aliphatic aldehydes. 

It should be added that attempts to perform a direct Stacker reaction starting from benzaldehyde, ammonia, and hydrocyanide in the presence of the organocatalyst 5 were also made by the Lipton group [4]. The resulting amino nitrile, however, was found to be racemic [4].
