Leading economic indexes for New York State and New Jersey
The authors develop indexes of leading economic indicators for New York State and New Jersey over the 1972-99 period. They find that the leading indexes convey useful information about the future course of economic activity in both states. The authors then construct separate indexes to forecast recessions and expansions in each state. The movements of the recession and expansion indexes are found to display a close relationship with the behavior of the leading indexes. Accordingly, the recession and expansion indexes allow the authors to extend the informational content of the leading indexes by estimating the probability of an upcoming cyclical change in state economic activity within the next nine months.Economic indicators ; New York (State) ; New Jersey ; Index numbers (Economics) ; Economic conditions - United States ; Federal Reserve District, 2nd

Production of Soft Ultrafine Functional Mineral Fillers with Super-Size Air Classifiers
Natural minerals like limestone and talc are used as fillers in plastics and paints. These fillers trends in being more and more a functional part of the final product.
The functionality of the fillers is mainly influenced from the particle size distribution. The finer the filler obviously the bigger the specific surface will be. With the classification technology state of the art new requir-ements cannot be reached. Therefore Messrs HOSOKAWA ALPINE
developed a new classifier type realising the forced fortex.
In addition with the production of PCC also much finer grades down to 50%<0.05 micron.
We accept this challenge to achieve and even exceed the new requirements. Moreover there shall be found economical solutions to raise the profit
