We use an array given in H. Kharaghani, Arrays for orthogonal designs, J. Combin. Designs, 8 (2000), 166-173, to obtain infinite families of 8-variable Kharaghani type orthogonal designs, OD(8t; hi, kl, kl, kl, k2, k2, k2, k2), where k1 and k2 must be the sum of two squares. In particular we obtain infinite families of 8-variable Kharaghani type orthogonal designs, OD(8t; k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k). For odd t orthogonal designs of order ≡ 8( mod 16) can have at most eight variables.

In this paper we give a general theorem which can be used to multiply the length of amicable sequences keeping the amicability property and the type of the sequences. As a consequence we have that if there exist two, four or eight amicable sequences of length m and type (al, a2), (al, a2, a3, a4) or (al, a2, …, as) then there exist amicable sequences of length ℓ ≡ 0 (mod m) and of the same type. We also present a theorem that produces a set of 2v amicable sequences from a set of v (not necessary amicable) sequences and …
