1. Opening reference to upcoming
technical visit
Thanks for your fax response regarding bilateral
cooperation between our two organizations. We
generally agree with your proposal. However, the date of
Dr. Jones's visit should preferably be in February of 2000
because we are usually quite busy during the month of
January.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a colleague of Miss
Lin. She will be a guest worker at the ABC Institute (Paris)
from February 19 to June 13 and will be absent during
your visit to CMS. Therefore, I will take over the
responsibility of arranging your visit itinerary.
1. Opening reference to upcoming
technical visit (cont)
I'm glad to hear you are planning to come to Taiwan and
visit UCL. Quite some time has passed since we met at
the AIChE meeting. As of now, I am available the week
of May 17-24. However, please let me know, as soon as
possible, the specific date you would like to visit UCL so
that I can keep that day open for you. Once the date has
been fixed, I will let Dr. Lin know that you are planning to
visit us.
We were pleased to hear from Professor Chang
(National Taiwan University) concerning your willingness
to serve as a speaker at the Combustibility of Building
Materials Symposium.

2. Suggested discussion topics
After discussing the matter with Mr. Chang, I suggest the following
topics of discussion for our meeting in May:
1. Coaxial noise standard & radiometer. The content of this topic is
provided in your fax dated 1/23/94.
2. Microwave measurement in general. It won't be necessary for you
to prepare a lecture. After you have visited our laboratories, however,
could you provide us with some suggestions regarding
measurement accuracy improvement, error analysis and
measurement assistance? On the other hand, you are more than
welcome to give a lecture.
3. Low noise figure measurement of devices. This topic is what most
interests our customers (from industrial sector to academia). Some
manufacturers already produce Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) and
Low Noise Blocks (LNB). Until now, however, no one has devised
an accurate method of measuring uncertainty. Therefore, if you
agree, we would like to arrange for you to give a talk on this topic, in
a seminar, during your visit in May.

2. Suggested discussion topics (cont)
As far as the zeolite A process is concerned, I
will talk to the person currently responsible for
that project and invite him to sit in on our
discussion. I hope you can spend the entire day
here so that we'll have sufficient time to
reminisce on the good old days. It will be great
to see you again.

3. Tentative schedule for technical visit (cont)
I'd like to reconfirm your schedule in Taiwan and add some detailed
information:
1. You'll arrive in Taiwan on 5/17. I recommend that you come to Hsinchu
directly from the airport, which is located between Taipei and Hsinchu. If
you prefer, I can arrange for transportation from the airport to bring you to
Hsinchu (you can directly pay the driver). If this arrangement is agreeable,
please let me know your flight schedule and arrival time. I'll give you more
detailed instructions later.
2. On 5/18, I'll pick you up at the hotel and bring you to UCL. You'll stay at
UCL until the late afternoon. We'll then take a train from Hsinchu to Chiayi.
3. On 5/19, you'll visit ABC's R&D center and give a presentation and
discuss the market potential of Zeolite and Isomerization. In the late
afternoon, you can take a train (by yourself) to Kaoshiung and then take a
taxi to the hotel.
4. On 5/20, one of my friends will meet you at the hotel and take you to
ABC's Kaohsiung Refinery. At the Refinery, you will meet with engineers
from the technical department and discuss Xylene isomerization. The
Kaohsiung Refinery's technical department is responsible for all the
technical business conducted at the Kaohsiung Refinery and at the Linyuan
Refinery. All business decisions and transactions, such as catalyst and
technology selection, are handled by this department.
