    Abstract: A multiprocessor computer comprises a plurality of identical processing elements, each of which comprises a processor, local memory addressable by the processor, and an arbitration unit for controlling access to the local memory from other processing elements. At least one processing element is connected to X neighbours (where X is an integer which is at least 1) for the sharing of data. The memory space addressable by the processor in the processing element is divided into at least X+1 regions. Addressing different regions of memory space causes data to be accessed in either the local memory or in the memories of neighbouring processing elements.

    Abstract: An instrument (2) for simultaneously measuring a plurality of parameters indicative of photosynthetic activity of a leaf in vivo comprises: a) a gas tight chamber (4) for enclosing the leaf (5), b) means (10) for illuminating the leaf within the chamber with modulated light not capable of driving photosynthesis, c) means (14) for detecting modulated fluorescence emission from the leaf, d) means for illuminating the leaf with photosynthetically active light, e) means (43) for measuring the light absorbed by the leaf, f) and means (32) for measuring the rate of uptake of carbon dioxide gas by the leaf. The instrument may also comprise means for measuring the rate of loss of water by the leaf, and for measuring the temperature in the chamber. The invention includes a method of simultaneously measuring a plurality of parameters indicative of photosynthetic activity of a leaf in vivo.

    Abstract: A process for the conversion of hydrocarbons in which a gaseous fuel is mixed with an oxygen containing gas in a reactor (1) by passing one component through an annular space (5) and then through the holes (9) of a foraminous cone (2) and the other component through the nozzle (3) located at the throat of the cone. The resultant fuel/oxygen containing gas composition is fuel rich and is ignited (B) and reacted in the reaction chamber. The product of the process may be withdrawn and collected.

    Abstract: Process for production of synthesis gas in which a saturated hydrocarbon and an oxygen containing gas having a ratio of hydrocarbon to oxygen of greater than the stoichiometric ratio for complete combustion are introduced into a bed of particulate material. The bed comprises material which is catalytically active for partial oxidation and/or steam reforming reactions. The upward flow rate of the hydrocarbon/oxygen containing gas stream is sufficiently large to cause a spouting action of the bed material. The hydrocarbon and oxygen react together and the products of the reaction are withdrawn.
