Patent EP-1392796-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DE REZENDE PINHO ANDREA
IPC: C10G11/18
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the fluid catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons using a downflow reactor and a catalyst with an Akzo Accessibility Index (AAI) of at least 3.5. This process combines the advantages of the use of downflow and riser reactors: minimal overcracking and high conversion of the higher boiling fraction. The use of a downflow reactor minimises overcracking, while the cracking catalyst facilitates high conversions, even for high-boiling fractions in the feed.

Abstract: A receiver of a multicarrier communication system capable of
reducing inter-subcarrier interfering signals is to be
provided. Receive signals received by a receiving antenna (11;
211) are amplified by a receiving amplifier (12; 202),
subjected to quadrature demodulation by multipliers (13, 14,
22; 203, 204) with respect to the respective subcarriers, and
band-limited by lowpass filters (15, 16, 23; 205, 206). The
signals band-limited by the lowpass filters (15, 16, 23; 205,
206) are converted into digital signals by A/D converters (17,
18, 24; 207, 208) at a sampling frequency fs. With respect to
the receive signals converted into digital signals,
interfering signals leaking between subcarriers are estimated
by using A/D converted by the A/D converters (17, 18, 24; 207,
208) and are canceled. The receive signals reduced in
interfering signals are multiplexed into a single sequence by
a multiplexer 20; 209), and decoded by a decoder (21, 210)
into output signals.

Abstract: An MEA is made by: preparing a mixture of a polymer
electrolyte and a catalyst; forming, on a transfer sheet, a
thin film of the catalyst mixture; transferring the thin film
onto one surface of a proton conductive electrolyte membrane (36)
for forming a catalyst thin film layer thereon; and repeating
the transferring step for forming plural catalyst thin film
layers (31-35), wherein the transferring steps causes the plural
catalyst thin film layers to have a density gradient of
sequentially decreasing from its proton conductive electrolyte
membrane side to the other side, and wherein the catalyst
layer has therein a substantially constant weight ratio of the
polymer electrolyte to the catalyst. 
     Thereby, the utilization rate of the catalyst
increases, and the fuel diffusion in the catalyst layer is
improved, whereby the resultant cell voltage of the fuel cell
increases. Further, using a single catalyst paste, a desired
density gradient or distribution in the catalyst layer can be
realized.

Abstract: In a process to regulate the exhaust gas emissions from an automotive engine (100), the nature of the exhaust gas components is detected, determined and compared with target values (SP, SN). A correction is made especially to the combustion conditions within the motor by variation of an appropriate control parameter.  The parameter varied is either the supply of air and/or fuel. The supply of air is corrected by variation of the exhaust gas return and/or the supply of fresh air. The fuel parameter is corrected by adjustment of the commencement, termination or duration of fuel injection. The process detects exhaust gas particle concentration and/or NOx emissions. The target value (SP, SN) is determined in accordance with motor speed (N), the commencement of a main fuel injection cycle, the quantity of fuel injected, the preliminary quantity injected, and the final quantity injected. Also claimed is a commensurate assembly.
