Pyryliumverbindungen. 38. Zur Ringtransformation von 2,4,6-Triaryl-thiopyryliumsalzen mit Essigsäureanhydrid zu Arylbenzenen und Thiobenzophenonen

Pyrylium Compounds. 38. About the Ring Transformation of 2,4,6-Triarylthiopyrylium Salts by Acetic Acid Anhydride to Arylbenzenes and Thiobenzophenones 2,4,6-Triarylthiopyrylium salts 5 react in the presence of an appropriate condensing agent (sodium acetate, carbonate, methoxide, tert-butoxide or potassium acetate) with acetic acid anhydride to yield arylbenzenes 3 and thiobenzophenones 6 . This ring transformation represents the first example of the conversion of the moiety into the thiocarbonyl group Under the same conditions 3,5-dimethyl-2,4,6-triphenylthiopyrylium perchlorate ( 13 ) forms via [1,5]-sigmatropic rearrangement the thiobenzophenone 15 . The structure of the new compounds 6 was proved by spectroscopic methods as well as by degradation reactions. Thus, hydrogen peroxide converts 6a to the known benzophenone 4 . Alkaline saponification gives the 2-hydroxy-benzophenone 8 , whereas heating with hydrochloric acid causes a selective cleavage of the acetoxy group to the 2-hydroxy-thiobenzophenone 7 .     

Olefinreaktionen in Gegenwart wolfram- und molybdänhaltiger Katalysatorsysteme vom Ziegler-Natta-Typ

Reactions of Alkenes in the Presence of Tungsten- and Molybdenum-containing Ziegler-Natta-Catalysts In connection with investigations of reactions of alkenes under the conditions of metathesis we studied the reactions of a mixture of 2-pentene/toluene in presence of the catalytic systems WCl₆/EtAlCl₂ and MoCl₅/EtAlCl₂ in homogeneous liquid phase. Alkylation of toluene, metathesis of 2-pentene and also indirect isomerisation of double bonds have been determined in dependence of the molar proportions of 2-pentene/MeCl_x, toluene/2-pentene, and MeCl_x/EtAlCl₂, the addition order (“formation”) of reactants, the “building time” of catalytic system and the reaction time. Compositions of the reaction mixtures have been determined by GLC.     

Influence of the additives argon, O2, C4F8, H2, N2 and CO on plasma conditions and process results during the etch of SiCOH in CF4 plasma

Reactive ion etch processes for modern interlevel dielectrics become more and more complex, especially for further scaling of interconnect dimensions. The materials will be damaged within such processes with the result of an increase in their dielectric constants. The capability of selected additives to minimize the low-k sidewall damage during reactive ion etching (RIE) of SiCOH materials in fluorocarbon plasmas was shown in different works in the past. Most of the investigated additive gases alter the fluorine to carbon ratio as well as the dissociation of the parent gas inside the etch plasma. The result is a changed etch rate, a modified polymerization behavior and other characteristics of the process induced SiCOH damage. Heavy inert ions like argon will be accelerated to the sample surface in the cathode dark space and enhance therewith the sputter yield on the SiCOH network [1]. In this paper the additives Ar, O₂, C₄F₈, H₂, N₂ and CO were added to a conventional CF₄ etch plasma. We try to provoke different changes in the plasma conditions and therewith in the process results. Contact angle measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry, Hg-probe analysis, FTIR measurements and SEM cross-sections were used to overview the additive induced modifications. To understand the influences of the additives gases more exactly, changes in the physical and chemical plasma behavior must be analyzed. Therefore quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) and quantum cascade laser absorption spectroscopy (QCLAS) were used.     

CMOS photodiode with enhanced responsivity for the UV/blue spectralrange

A new photodiode for the UV/blue spectral range, which can be integrated monolithically with CMOS circuits, is presented. Such optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) with a high sensitivity in the UV/blue spectral range are needed in near-future optical storage systems like digital versatile disk (DVD) or digital video recording (DVR). At 400 nm, our so-called finger photodiode achieves a responsivity of 0.23 A/W corresponding to a quantum efficiency η of 70% [with an antireflection coating (ARC)] and rise and fall times of 1.0 ns and 1.1 ns, respectively. The finger photodiode can be used in the red spectral range, too. At 638 nm, the responsivity is 0.49 A/W (η=95%) and rise and fall times of less than 2.3 ns are achieved. For the integration of the finger photodiode in an industrial 1 μm twin-well CMOS process, only one additional mask is needed in order to block out the threshold voltage implantation in the photo-active region     

Machine scheduling in underground mining: an application in the potash industry

In this paper, a scheduling problem that occurs in potash mining is introduced, where a block excavation sequence has to be found taking into account a limited number of underground machines as well as safety-related restrictions. The aim is to minimize the maximum completion time of excavations, i.e., the makespan. The resulting problem can be transformed into a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with reentry, unrelated machines, and job-precedences. A mixed-integer linear model is presented and small-scale instances are solved with CPLEX. In order to tackle medium- and large-scale instances heuristically, a basic and an advanced multi-start algorithm are developed, based on a specific priority rule-based construction procedure. In addition, a modified version of the Giffler and Thompson procedure is applied. Computational experiments are conducted on problem instances derived from real-world data in order to evaluate the performances of the proposed solution procedures.     

A Petri net based design engine for manufacturing systems

Support for the efficient design and operation of complex manufacturing systems requires an integrated modelling, analysis, and control methodology as well as its implementation in a software tool. In this paper the Petri net based design engine TimeNET is presented for this task. Petri nets are able to capture the characteristic features of manufacturing systems in a concise form. A subclass of coloured Petri nets is used, which has been developed especially for the application area of manufacturing. Structure and work plans are modelled separately. Stochastic as well as deterministic and more general distributions are adopted for the firing times of transitions. Fundamental questions about system properties can be answered using qualitative analysis. For an efficient performance and dependability prediction, different evaluation techniques are proposed: direct numerical analysis, approximate analysis, and simulation. Finally, the model can be used to evaluate different control strategies and to control the manufacturing system directly. There is no need to change the modelling methodology, thus avoiding additional effort, for example for model conversion. In the paper this necessary steps are described using an application example.     

Cluster-grouping: from subgroup discovery to clustering

We introduce the problem of cluster-grouping and show that it can be considered a subtask in several important data mining tasks, such as subgroup discovery, mining correlated patterns, clustering and classification. The algorithm CG for solving cluster-grouping problems is then introduced, and it is incorporated as a component in several existing and novel algorithms for tackling subgroup discovery, clustering and classification. The resulting systems are empirically compared to state-of-the-art systems such as CN2, CBA, Ripper, Autoclass and CobWeb. The results indicate that the CG algorithm can be useful as a generic local pattern mining component in a wide variety of data mining and machine learning algorithms.     

Cyclic waterfrac stimulation to develop an Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS)—Conceptual design and experimental results

The design and results of a cyclic hydraulic fracturing experiment performed to enhance the productivity of the geothermal research well at Groß Schönebeck (Germany) are presented. The stimulation carried out in the low-permeability volcanics of the Lower Rotliegend (Lower Permian) included alternating stages with cyclic changes of low and high flow rates with up to 150 L/s over six days in conjunction with the addition of quartz sand to support fracture opening. There was rapid water level increase in an adjacent well due to the stimulation (i.e. water injection). The subsequent production test showed the success of the fracture treatment, with the overall productivity of the treated well being increased by a factor of four.
