Title: Hydrodemetallization catalyst and process
Inventor: DILLON CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: C01B33/32
Filed: 2009-09-30
Abstract: This invention is directed to hydrodemetallization catalysts and hydrodemetallization processes employing a magnesium aluminosilicate clay. The magnesium aluminosilicate clay has a characteristic 29?Si NMR spectrum. The magnesium aluminosilicate clay is the product of a series of specific reaction steps. Briefly, the magnesium aluminosilicate clay employed in the catalyst and process of the invention is made by combining a silicon component, an aluminum component, and a magnesium component, under aqueous conditions and at an acidic pH, to form a first reaction mixture and subsequently the pH of the first reaction mixture is adjusted to greater than about 7.5 to form a second reaction mixture. The second reaction mixture is allowed to react under conditions sufficient to form the magnesium aluminosilicate clay. The resulting magnesium aluminosilicate clay combines high surface area and activity for use in hydrodemetallization catalysts and processes.

IPC: A61F5/058

Abstract: This invention is related to toe spacers or separators that assist in toe alignment. Toe spacers or separators do not control the alignment of the toes they only keep the toes from rubbing against each other . The above mentioned spacers or separators do not prevent abrasion of the skin due to disfigured toes rubbing the inside of footwear . Another failing of the spacers or separators is they have little affect in preventing foot or leg cramps .  The reason for the preceding statement is the fact they don't take a more aggressive role in aligning the toes . They also have very little effect on preventing calluses on the foot sole due to pressure points caused by uneven weight distribution .     These disadvantages can be overcome by a device made from a non allergenic , non abrasive , non irritable material . This material can stretch or bend when required by movement of the foot . The Arthritic Brace for toes can also be made to separate using velcro so that the toes can be placed inside instead of pulling the device over the toes . The Arthritic Brace for Toes can also have inserts placed inside in a designated problem area or areas for added comfort or support . The said device will use a minimum of two to a maximum of five toes on each foot . The purpose of this invention is to influence the toes to work in unison with each other . By moving in unison each toe assists in the alignment of all toes sharing the Arthritic toe brace .  The Arthritic toe brace holds the toes in alignment but still allows some independant movement of each toe for comfort and to conform to the soles of footwear . The Arthritic Brace for toe alignment is especially effective in preventing foot , calf and upper leg cramps when the body is at rest . The Arthritic Brace for toe alignment also greatly reduces improper weight distribution , muscle unbalance and fatigue in the calf , foot and upper leg area by aligning the toes in a more natural state .
