Inventor: BROWN STEPHEN HAROLD
IPC: C10G45/44
Filed: 1995-09-20
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé pour améliorer des produits d'alimentation de distillats. On place une charge d'un catalyseur d'hydrotraitement sur un support, dans une zone de réaction, généralement dans un réacteur à lit fixe. Le catalyseur d'hydrotraitement comprend une quantité suffisante d'un ou plusieurs métaux nobles et a une activité spécifique. On peut produire aussi bien une essence diesel qu'une essence d'aviation pauvre en hydrocarbures aromatiques avec la même charge de catalyseur, en utilisant des produits d'alimentation différents et en effectuant le traitement dans des conditions qui sont souvent différentes. L'activité du catalyseur est reconstituée à chaque changement de produit d'alimentation. Lorsque la production passe d'une essence d'aviation à une essence diesel pauvre en hydrocarbures aromatiques, on peut régénérer le catalyseur plus rapidement en le maintenant à une température plus élevée que la température de réaction pendant une durée spécifique avant de faire tomber la température à la température de réaction. Le passage d'un produit d'alimentation à l'autre peut se faire pendant une année environ avant qu'il ne faille changer le catalyseur. On peut également utiliser un système de catalyseur double. Dans ce cas, on utilise un catalyseur d'hydrotraitement comprenant une quantité suffisante d'au moins un métal commun en combinaison avec un catalyseur contenant une quantité suffisante d'au moins un métal noble. Le produit d'alimentation vient en contact avec le catalyseur contenant le métal commun avant de venir en contact avec le catalyseur contenant un métal noble. Dans ce système de catalyseur double, on peut changer les produits d'alimentation pendant environ deux ans avant qu'il ne faille changer de catalyseur.

Abstract: An automatic bag opening device includes a housing (1) having a bag intake opening (1a) for receiving a filled shipping bag. A bag assist plate (3) forms a chute, allowing the bag to slide down and rest on a bag rest (5). A hollow penetrator (7) penetrates the bag to hold it in place while a bottom of the bag is cut. The bag rest moves away from the bottom of the bag, allowing the contents of the bag to spill out. An air blast through the penetrator helps the bag empty. Additional air blasts hit and shake the bag, knocking the contents loose. A bag pusher (4) pushes the empty bag into a set of rollers (8), folding the empty bag in half, and discharging the bag outside the housing. A dust collector within the housing collects loose dust, thereby enhancing safety and cleanliness of the workplace.

Abstract: The device according to the present invention controls air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the catalytic converter when performing the determination of deterioration of the catalytic converter in such a manner that the amount of oxygen released from a three-way catalytic converter is maintained at a suitable value for determining the deterioration of the converter. When the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the catalytic converter fluctuates between a rich air-fuel ratio and a lean air-fuel ratio, the catalytic converter absorbs oxygen from the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is lean, and releases the absorbed oxygen when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is rich. According to the present invention, the amount of oxygen released from the catalytic converter during the rich air-fuel ratio period of exhaust gas is controlled to a predetermined amount. This amount is set at the value larger than the maximum oxygen absorbing capacity of a deteriorated catalytic converter, and smaller than the maximum oxygen absorbing capacity of a normal catalyst. Therefore, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out from a deteriorated catalytic converter fluctuates largely, while the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out from a normal catalytic converter does not fluctuate. Thus, deterioration of the catalytic converter can be determined accurately.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de bactéries non pathogènes modifiées génétiquement sur les surfaces muqueuses d'un hôte afin d'inhiber l'infection provoquée par des virus spécifiques sur des surfaces muqueuses. Précisément, on modifie des bactéries non pathogènes pour leur faire acquérir la capacité de se lier à des virus spécifiques et de les inactiver fonctionnellement. D'autres manipulations sont imaginées pour assurer la colonisation persistante de ces bactéries sur la surface muqueuse souhaitée d'un hôte. On peut obtenir que lesdites bactéries soient capables de se lier à un pathogène par l'expression, sur leur surface, d'une molécule, soit une fraction polypeptidique soit une fraction glucidique, qui se lie spécifiquement à une molécule sur le virus cible. Cette capacité peut être conférée auxdites bactéries par génie génétique. Les opérations de génie génétique exécutées sur lesdites bactéries peuvent être faites in vitro et les bactéries obtenues par génie génétique appliquées sur la surface muqueuse souhaitée d'un hôte, ou du matériel génétique peut être introduit directement dans des bactéries résidant déjà sur la surface muqueuse souhaitée d'un hôte par l'intermédiaire d'un vecteur.
