Patent EP-1031549-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUTLER JAMES R
IPC: B01J29/40
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: Ethylbenzene is produced by alkylation over monoclinic silicalite catalysts having
a weak acid site concentration of less than 50 micromoles per gram. A feedstock
containing benzene and ethylene is applied to an alkylation reaction zone having at least
one catalyst bed containing a monoclinic silicalite catalyst having a weak acid site
concentration of less than 50 micromoles per gram. The alkylation reaction zone is
operated at temperature and pressure conditions in which the benzene is in a gaseous
phase to cause gas-phase alkylation of the aromatic substrate in the presence of the
silicalite catalysts to produce an alkylation product. The alkylation product is then
withdrawn from the reaction zone for separation and recovery.

Abstract: In an electric power assisted steering system, the output signal from a motor
position sensor (9) comprising a number of Hall effect devices (A,B,C) or
the like is combined with an index signal from a sensor (12) connected to
the steering column shaft (1) or the rack (6) or a yaw sensor or other
angular position dependent device to produce an accurate measure of
steering angle relative to the straight ahead position. In a preferred
arrangement, transitions in the Hall effect sensor output are used to drive a
counter (106) which is reset whenever the index signal is produced to
ensure it does not drift out over a period of time. Most conveniently, the
index signal corresponds to the steering gear straight ahead position.

Abstract: A method of measuring blockiness in a video signal generates a
power spectrum for a video field of the video signal. The largest peaks of
the power spectrum at the higher frequency end of the power spectrum are
initially selected and a common frequency interval between peaks is
determined. The contribution to the amplitude of peaks at the common
frequency interval by peaks at other than the common frequency interval
are subtracted from the amplitude of the peaks at the common frequency
interval. The average of the corrected amplitudes of the peaks at the
common frequency interval is obtained and normalized as a blockiness
metric for the video signal.
