Abstract: Disclosed is a process for making alkoxylates of organic compounds. The process requires a) providing an active hydrogen organic compound having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and b) alkoxylating the organic compound with an alkylene oxide in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst compound corresponding to either formula (I) or formula (II):wherein B is a boron atom and H is a hydrogen atom; phi is a phenyl moiety having substituents selected from the group consisting of 1 to 5 fluorine atoms, 1 to 5 CF3 moieties, 1 to 5 OCF3 or SCF3 moieties or OR; wherein C is a carbon atom, O is an oxygen atom, S is a sulfur atom and F is a fluorine atom; wherein R is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl or aryl group having from 1 to 22 carbon atoms. The process affords a product of very narrow molecular weight distribution with a low degree of both residual active hydrogen organic starting material and undesirable by-products.

Abstract: A method, used in locating a mobile transmitter, includes providing a set of cross-correlation values, wherein each cross-correlation value is associated with a corresponding TDOA and/or FDOA estimate and is produced by cross-correlating a reference signal with a cooperating signal. The reference signal comprises a copy of a signal transmitted by the mobile transmitter as received at a first antenna and the cooperating signal comprises a copy of the same signal as received at a second antenna. The method further includes determining a most likely range of TDOA and/or FDOA estimates, and then identifying an optimal cross-correlation value within a subset of cross-correlation values corresponding to the most likely range of TDOA and/or FDOA estimates. The TDOA and/or FDOA value corresponding to the optimal cross-correlation value is then employed in calculating the location of the mobile transmitter.

Abstract: In a process for the selective production of meta-diisopropylbenzene, a C9+ aromatic hydrocarbon feedstock containing meta- and ortho-diisopropylbenzene is contacted with benzene under conversion conditions with a catalyst comprising a molecular sieve selected from the group consisting of zeolite beta, mordenite and a porous crystalline inorganic oxide material having an X-ray diffraction pattern including the d-spacing maxima at 12.4±0.25, 6.9±0.15, 3.57±0.07 and 3.42±0.07 Angstrom. The contacting step selectively converts ortho-diisopropylbenzene in the feedstock to produce an effluent in which the ratio of meta-diispropylbenzene to ortho-diispropylbenzene is greater than that of the feedstock. The effluent is the fed to a separation zone for recovery of a product rich in meta-diisopropylbenzene.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a formwork and to the respective fixation components for construction of concrete pillars of circular or oval cross-section and support walls that are made of a rigid thermoplastic or composite material. The low density of the formwork allow its easy and inexpensive transportation inside and outside the construction site, as well as its manipulation and assembly by a single worker. The assembly of the components can be made around the steel structure that eases its use. This formwork produces a very good surface finishing of the pillar, avoiding the need of lubricating oils and reducing the finishing steps. This formwork can be disassembled after drying of the concrete and can be reused many times, which makes the ratio between unitary cost/number of times used very low. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cartridge holder and a floating dispenser system for dispensing materials into a fluid with the floating dispenser system including a cartridge holder with receptacles for removably attaching or detaching at least two cartridge dispensers therein to allow one to simultaneously dispense materials into a fluid system by placing the floating dispensing system in a body of fluids and to replenish the system by merely removing and replacing a cartridge in the holder. A dispenser system that takes high pressure fluid such as a high pressure water source and reduces the volume flow of the high pressure water as it flows into a dispenser with the dispenser having a low pressure outlet, which offers negligible fluid resistance in comparison to the inlet fluid resistance to the dispenser, thereby ensuring that if a dispenser cap is accidentally removed from the dispenser while the unit is in operation the water will not spray out into and onto the user. The dispensing system includes a removable cartridge carrier with adjustable openings and a dispenser housing that one can maintain a uniform flow pattern under different flow rates to provide for a predicable control of a dispersion rate from a dispersant located in the system and a method of predictably changing the dispersion rate of a dispersant.A universal cartridge that is useable in either a stagnant fluid environment or in a moving fluid environment with the universal cartridge floatable in a stagnant fluid environment and securable in a moving fluid environment with the universal cartridge having an inner housing having a diffusion port and an outer sleeve having a diffusion port with the housing and the sleeve mateable engaged with each other through frictional engagement to inhibit flow therebetween while permitting rotational displacement of the housing with respect to the sleeve to allow one to increase or decrease a dispersant transport area between a zone within the housing to a zone exterior to the housing through aligning a recessed diffusion port of the housing with a diffusion port of the sleeve with the diffusion ports inhibiting fluid flow therethrough but permitting dispersant transfer therethrough. <IMAGE>
