Title: Process for isomerization of C4  to C6 hydrocarbons with once-through hydrogen
Inventor: SCHMIDT ROBERT J
IPC: C10G35/085
Filed: 1989-02-10
Granted: 1994-07-13
Abstract: A process for the isomerization of C4-C6 paraffins with good stability and high conversion that uses a highly active catalyst to isomerize the feed (10) in the presence of very little hydrogen (14) which is selected so that the hydrogen to hydrocarbon mole ratio of the effluent (46) is 0.05:1 or less, and hydrogen is not recycled. Continued operation at low hydrogen concentrations in the reaction is made possible by the remarkably low coking tendency of the catalyst, especially during periods of temporary sulfur deactivation. The low hydrogen to hydrocarbon mole ratio feature simplifies the process and makes it cheaper to operate by eliminating facilities for the recovery and recycle of hydrogen. The catalyst comprises alumina having 0.01 to 25 wt.% of platinum, and from 2 to 10 wt.% of a chloride component. The isomerization conditions in isomerization zone (16) include a temperature of 40 to 235<o>C, a pressure of 7 to 70 barsg and a space velocity of 0.1 to 10 hr<-><1>. A chloride concentration of 30 to 300 ppm is maintained in the reaction zone (16).

Abstract: The invention involves the formation of a prodrug from a fatty acid carrier and a neuroactive drug. The prodrug is stable in the environment of both the stomach and the bloodstream and may be delivered by ingestion. The prodrug passes readily through the blood brain barrier. Once in the central nervous system, the prodrug is hydrolyzed into the fatty acid carrier and the drug to release the drug. In a preferred embodiment, the carrier is 4,7,10,13,16,19 docosahexa-enoic acid and the drug is dopamine. Both are normal components of the central nervous system. The covalent bond between the drug and the carrier preferably is an amide bond, which bond may survive the conditions in the stomach. Thus, the prodrug may be ingested and will not be hydrolyzed completely into the carrier molecule and drug molecule in the stomach.

Abstract: A self-lcoking bill accumulator (10) having tamper-proof features is provided for use with a dollar bill processing machine. During use, the bill accumulator (10) is mounted to a bill processing machine. The accumulator has a double locking feature whereby rotation of an outer lock (48) by means of a key (52) is required in order to detach and remove the bill accumulator (10) from the dollar bill processing machine. This rotation of the outer lock (48) occurs prior to removal of the bill accumulator and causes a corresponding rotation of an inner lock (24, 44), which in turn positively locks the bill accumulator (10) to protect the bills (32) in the accumulator from pilferage after removal. Upon removal of the bill accumulator (10), the outer lock (48) becomes disengaged from the inner lock (24, 44) such that a separate key is required in order to "unlock" the bill accumulator (10) and remove the bills (32).

Abstract: Metallic or non-metallic wires or bristles are attached to a hollow, cylindrical core. The wires or fibers are quite fine in diameter. Space is provided in the core in the shape of perforations for the transfer of electrolyte, which is fed from the hollow inner portion of the cylinder, along the fibers, to the copper substrate on an imaged substrate. Electrical or non-electrical sources are employed. The wires may be electrically connected through the metal cylinder to the positive pole (anode) of the DC power source. The non-conductive fibers make direct contact with the metal to be etched. In the electrical device within the hollow cylinder but separated from the cylinder is positioned a perforated or mesh copper, which is connected electrically to the negative pole (cathode) of the DC power supply. A cell is now made between the copper laminate and the perforated copper inside the cylinder. Copper from the laminate (anode) is removed and deposited on the perforated copper (cathode). The same apparatus is used for electroforming applications. The wires can be connected to the negative pole of the rectifier, while an anodically insoluble conductive substrate can be used in place of the counter-electrode within the hollow cylinder. By contacting an activated or metallic substrate with negatively charged fibers one can deposit metal in the exposed areas.

Abstract: A practical system and method for the remote distribution of financial services (e.g., home banking and bill-paying) involves distributing portable terminals to a user base. The terminals include a multi-line display, keys "pointer to" lines on the display, and additional keys. Contact is established between the terminals and a central computer operated by a service provider, preferably over a dial-up telephone line and a packet data network. Information exchange between the central computer and the terminal solicits information from the terminal user related to requested financial services (e.g., for billpaying, the user provides payee selection and amount and his bank account PIN number). The central computer then transmits a message over a conventional ATM network debiting the user's bank account in real time, and may pay the specified payees the specified amount electronically or in other ways as appropriate. Payments and transfers may be scheduled in advance or on a periodic basis. Because the central computer interacts with the user's bank as a standard POS or ATM network node, no significant software changes are required at the banks' computers. The terminal interface is extremely user-friendly and incorporates some features of standard ATM user interfaces so as to reduce new user anxiety.
