Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the hydrogenation, in particular the selective hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds using a hydrogenation catalyst comprising an ordered intermetallic compound. The ordered intermetallic compound comprises at least one metal of type A capable of activating hydrogen, and at least one metal of type B not capable of activating hydrogen, and the structure of the ordered intermetallic compound is such that at least one king of type A metals is mainly surrounded by atoms of the metal of type B. According to another aspect, the present invention is concerned with a catalyst comprising a support and the above ordered intermetallic compound supported on the support. According to still another aspect, the invention pertains to the use of a binary Pd-Ga ordered intermetallic compound as a catalyst. The hydrogenation process and catalysts of the present invention achieve a selectivity to the target compounds, e.g. in the selective hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene, which is superior to the prior art.

Filed: 2007-04-24
Abstract: An AC power controller system (56) applies three-phase AC operating voltage to an induction motor (38) that drives a non-linear mechanical load (40). A primary low pass filter (54) is connected in series between branch phase conductors (28, 30, 32) and a power controller (36) that controls the application of AC power to the motor. KVAR rated capacitors (C4, C5, C6) connected in shunt relation across the power controller output terminals (Ml, M2, M3) and the induction motor phase windings (W1, W2, W3) form a secondary low pass filter (59) across the controller output terminals. The primary low pass filter and secondary low pass filter isolate the power controller and induction motor with respect to spurious noise and harmonics generated by local as well as remote sources, and also improve real power transfer efficiency from the power generating source (12) to the induction motor (38).

Title: Well bore isolation using tool with sliding sleeve
Inventor: CUGNET MATTHEW
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 2009-02-17
Abstract: An apparatus and method for isolating a portion of a well bore and providing pressurized fluid thereto includes an upper packer, a lower packer, and a sliding sleeve between them.  A seat is defined at the open bottom end of the lower sleeve and a sealing element is configured to seal the seat. A bias force urges the sliding sleeve toward a closed position.
