In these discnssions we will concentrate on the details of the HR-NMR spectrometer and magnet system. They represent the most complex configuration of process NMR technology. Similar process TD-NMR instrnmentation is typically less complex. 

A detailed description of salt mining will be postponed until the next chapter, but it is important to note that soda ash is made from both limestone and salt, the two major raw materials. As outlined in Fig. 5.2, the brine (salt solution) is mixed with ammonia in a large ammonia absorber. A lime kiln, using technology similar to that discussed earlier, serves as the source of carbon dioxide, which is mixed with the salt and ammonia in carbonation towers to form ammonium bicarbonate and finally sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride. Filtration separates the less soluble sodium bicarbonate from the ammonium chloride in solution. 

Early efforts focused on nuclear science and atomic technologies, similar to the laboratory at Los Alamos. In the... 

Bednarova et al. [87] designed a single-plate PrOx reactor for a 1 W fuel cell based on MEMS technology, similar to [PrOx 1], The results of the simulation work described above were applied to optimize the reactor performance. The plate carried a pre-mixer and 29 channels each 12 mm long, 500 pm wide and 400 pm deep. Flow uniformity was verified by simulations. Full conversion of carbon monoxide was achieved at much lower temperature with [PrOx 1] and the selectivity towards carbon dioxide was 40%. 

The decision to use a Raman analyzer depends on the availability and practicality of alternative analyzer technologies. Similar to mid-IR, Raman bands represent fundamental modes of vibration. Bands are narrow and molecule specific, and they provide quantitative chemical analysis. The technology is equally amenable to the analysis of gases, liquids, slurries, emulsions, powders, and solids, including samples with particulates and bubbles. Noninvasive probes can be used and are a key feature in many applications where the process must not be breached. 

A cylindrical prototype was developed at PNNL that operates from 27-33 GHz using a vertically oriented linear array, as shown in Fig. 9. This system uses switching and transceiver technology similar to the prototype shown in Fig. 4. However, this system is composed of 384 antenna elements versus 128 for the previous system. This system collects a 360° scan in 6-10s. Image reconstruction is then performed using a conventional PC coupled to an array of high-speed co-processors. Example cylindrical images collected with a laboratory transceiver and scanner are shown in the lower half... 

These types of fuels can convert into energy-heat, electricityusing technologies similar to those used to convert fossil fuels. Biomass fuels burn to generate heat, which is converted to mechanical energy using either a steam or gas turbine. Biomass can also be converted into fuel that can either replace or reduce the emissions of fossil fuels. 

The early success of wind energy technologies, similar in several respects to CPV technologies, augurs rapid and dramatic success for CPV systems. 

A significant challenge for neuroscientists in studying the membranous synaptosomal proteome rests squarely in the analysis of its constituent hydrophobic and membrane-bound proteins. These include receptors, transporters, ion channels, and the molecular machinery for synaptic vesicle cycling. Hydrophobic and membrane-bound proteins are poorly resolved by traditional lEF gel technology. Similarly, they tend to resist in-gel tryptic digestion, leading to poor rates of protein identification by PMF (van Montfort et al. 2002). 

Another type of drive system is removable media drives. Removable drives use technologies similar to fixed disk (fixed media) drives, except the storage medium is removable. The obvious advantage is that removable media multiplies the usefulness of the drive. With a hard disk, when the disk is full, the only two things you can do to increase space are to delete some information or get a larger drive. With removable media drives, you can remove the full disk and insert a blank one. Other than the Zip and Jaz drives discussed in Chapter 2 (and other than removable hard drives themselves), there are numerous categories of removable media drives covered on the test, as discussed in the rest of this section. 

Because acetic anhydride is more useful to the chemical industry than acetic acid, there was economic incentive to develop a process that would yield the anhydride directly without first producing the acid as a separate operation. By the early 1980s, Eastman Chemicals, in conjunction with Halcon Chemical Company, developed a procedure that provided acetic anhydride using technology similar to the Monsanto process, and since 1991 a plant run by Eastman has produced anhydride in excess of 500,000 metric tons per year.89 The Eastman-Halcon (E-H) operation amounts formally to inserting CO into the C-0 bond of methyl acetate according to equation 9.36.90... 

This section will describe a robust method for engineering a binding protein of interest using yeast surface display technology. Similar methods for gene engineering via yeast display have been reported (9, 31, 32), and slight variations may be used for particular applications to attain optimal results.
