A system, equipment, and processes for extending the scope of automation in port container facilities, and thereby increasing port capacity within fixed land resources, increasing operational productivity, increasing safety, increasing the velocity and reliability of goods movement, increasing freight security, reducing negative environmental impacts, and reducing the overall cost of goods movement. A storage area is accessed by automated guided vehicles which receive and unload containerized loads. On the waterside, loads are exchanged between the vehicles and ships using quay cranes. On the ground transportation side, loads are exchanged between the vehicles and truck or rail carriers using semi automated or automated remote-controlled bridge cranes. Within the storage area, loads are exchanged between the vehicles and the storage facilities using automated stacking cranes. The vehicles are adapted to receive a cassette storage platform which in turn receives standard ISO containers. The vehicles also are adapted to receive one or more alternative platforms including a coning platform for workers to manage container coning, a reefer access and maintenance platform, and a worker transport platform. The use of a single vehicle type with interchangeable platforms allows for maximum flexibility and efficiency. The automation of the vehicle allows for complete contamination within the storage portion of the system.

The system thus substantially extends the reach of automation to cover both landside and waterside intra-terminal transfer operations. By this extension, the interface of workers and machines is greatly reduced, increasing safety, productivity, security, and capacity. By this extension, the robotic control process can be fully optimized, increasing velocity and reliability while reducing the terminal's environmental footprint.

Also encompassed within this invention also are products of this selective process scheme and dentifrices containing such classified silica products.

Improved LDPC code structure and concatenation rules for IEEE 802.11n systems, providing two code sets per rate, one longer codeword and one shorter codeword. The longer codeword length is determined by the system parameters, while the shorter codeword length is ⅓ of the longer codeword length. A LDPC concatenation rule is provided, wherein a maximum of one extra OFDM symbol is added in padding in order to reduce the code set granularity. In order to provide improved code performance, more bits are shortened compared with puncturing, by transmitting the extra OFDM symbol. Further, all the required puncturing and shortening bits are distributed across all codewords. This scheme provides a preferred tradeoff between code complexity and over-the-air efficiency.

In this process, the reactor comprises a first-step reaction zone of mainly producing the unsaturated aldehydes, a second-step reaction zone of mainly producing the unsaturated acids, or both the two zones. The first-step reaction zone is divided into two or more zones by a partition. Each of the divided shell spaces is filled with a heat transfer medium, and the heat transfer medium in each shell space is maintained at isothermal temperature or a temperature difference of 0-5 ° C.

The present invention is related to a method for masked anodization of an anodizable layer on a substrate, for example an aluminum layer present on a sacrificial layer, wherein the sacrificial layer needs to be removed from a cavity comprising a Micro or Nano Electromechanical System (MEMS or NEMS). Anodization of an Al layer leads to the formation of elongate pores, through which the sacrificial layer can be removed. According to the method of the invention, the anodization of the Al layer is done with the help of a first mask which defines the area to be anodized, and a second mask which defines a second area to be anodized, said second area surrounding the first area. Anodization of the areas defined by the first and second mask leads to the formation of an anodized structure in the form of a closed ring around the first area, which forms a barrier against unwanted lateral anodization in the first area.
