A small value of (X - X j-), i.e. X c approaching Xl, will have more chance of a sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) with the rotating machines and a ferro-resonance with the transformers during a switching sequence or line disturbance.

All of the above described processes can be operated using fewer adsorbers and switch valves by incorporating gas storage tanks and allowing discontinuous operation of the rotating machines. 

A new generation coordination catalysts are metallocenes. The chiral form of metallocene produces isotactic polypropylene, whereas the achiral form produces atactic polypropylene. As the ligands rotate, the catalyst produces alternating blocks of isotactic and atactic polymer much like a miniature sewing machine which switches back and forth between two different kinds of stitches. 

Positional changes of atoms in a molecule or supermolecule correspond on the molecular scale to mechanical processes at the macroscopic level. One may therefore imagine the engineering of molecular machines that would be thermally, photochem-ically or electrochemically activated [1.7,1.9,8.3,8.109,8.278]. Mechanical switching processes consist of the reversible conversion of a bistable (or multistable) entity between two (or more) structurally or conformationally different states. Hindered internal rotation, configurational changes (for instance, cis-trans isomerization in azobenzene derivatives), intercomponent reorientations in supramolecular species (see Section 4.5) embody mechanical aspects of molecular behaviour. 

It should be remarked that for the described catenanes, but also for most of the catenane-based machines developed so far, the repeated switching between the two translational states does not need to occur through a full rotation. In fact, because of... 

Niziol et al. review the linear and NLO properties of some catenanes and rotaxanes studied in solutions or tliln films. Techniques like UV-Vis spectrometry, second and tlilrd harmonic generation in thin films and electro-optic Kerr effects in solution have been employed. They review the synthesis and material processing of tlrese derivatives. Niziol et al. describe how the rotation rate of the macrocycle in catenane solutions is more than an order of magnitude larger than in rotaxanes. They comment on the factors on which the rate of rotation depends. This new class of molecules, with mobile subparts, is very likely to have useful applications including tire construction of synthetic molecular machines and all-optical switching elements. 

The great demand for miniaturization of components in electrotechnical, medicinal or material applications has led to the development of a highly multidisciplinary scientific and technological field called nanotechnology to produce devices with critical dimensions within the range 1 100 nm. The ultimate solution to miniaturization is logically a functional molecular machine, an assembly of components capable of performing mechanical motions (rotation or linear translation) upon external stimulation, such as photoactivation.1103,1104,1239-1244 This motion should be controllable, efficient and occur periodically within an appropriate time-scale therefore, it involves photochromic behaviour discussed in the Special Topic 6.15. Such devices can also be called photochemical switches (Special Topics 6.18 and 6.15). Here we show two examples of molecular machines a molecular rotary motor and a molecular shuttle. 

The spinning basket has a large momentum and acts like a flywheel, so that when the motor is switched off it will continue to run for a long period. Safety interlocks are fitted so that the lid cannot be opened whilst the machine is rotating and that the application of the brake will cut out the motor. Similarly, there is a cut-out switch which will operate when excessive vibration occurs. 

A second mold-making machine had the same layout, but the molds exited on that conveyor in an opposite direction. The control panel was on the left of the table. The rotary switch on each control panel operated the same and had the same labels. Rotating right meant the table moved down. Rotating left meant the table moved up. 

In the injection molding machine shown in Figure 13, the clamp unit is on the left and the injection unit on the right. A mold is shown in position between the platens of the clamp unit with one half of the mold fastened to the fixed platen and the other to the movable platen. When the mold is opened, the movable platen moves away from the fixed platen and the molded part can be removed. After part ejection, the mold is closed in preparation for the next injection cycle. In contrast to extrusion, the screw in the injection imit rotates only during part of molding cycle. When the screw turns, it pumps melt forward. The rearward movement of the screw is controlled by the placement of a limit switch, which stops the hydraulic motor. The maximum length of reciprocation is approximately three screw diameters. The shot size is directly proportional to the amoimt of screw...
