Abstract: A production process for high purity propylene includes: -a dimerization stage for the ethylene into butene-1; a hydro-isomerization stage of butene-1 into butenes-2 and a metathesis stage of the butenes-2 by the ethylene. Advantageously, the ethylene used to produce the butene-1 and the ethylene for the metathesis come from a steam cracking unit. To increase the production of propylene, the process may use a C4 cut from steam cracking or from FCC as a secondary source for the butenes.

Title: Cutting balloon having sheathed incising elements
Inventor: O'BRIEN DENNIS
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 2004-07-30
Granted: 2011-05-10
Abstract: A cutting balloon for use in a PTCA atherectomy procedure includes an elongated balloon (22) that defines a longitudinal axis (33) and is inflatable from a first deflated configuration to a second radially expanded configuration. One or more incising elements (44) are mounted on the inflatable balloon. Compressible sheaths (50) made of a relatively low durometer, flexible material are mounted on the balloon to protect the operative cutting surface of a respective incising element during assembly of the cutting balloon and transit of the cutting balloon to the treatment site.  Each sheath extends farther from the longitudinal axis than the corresponding incising element and makes first contact with the tissue during a balloon inflation. Once contact has been established between the tissue and the sheath, further balloon inflation causes the sheath to radially compress between the tissue and the inflatable balloon exposing the operative cutting surface for tissue incision.

Abstract: Techniques for using multiple modulation schemes for a single packet are described. Each data packet is processed and transmitted in up to T blocks, where T > 1. Multiple modulation schemes are used for the T blocks to achieve good performance. A transmitter encodes a data packet to generate code bits.  The transmitter then forms a block of code bits with the code bits generated for the packet, determines the modulation scheme to use for the block (e.g., based on a mode/rate selected for the packet), maps the code bits for the block based on the modulation scheme to obtain data symbols, and processes and transmits the block of data symbols to a receiver. The transmitter generates and transmits another block in similar manner until the data packet is decoded correctly or all T blocks have been transmitted. The receiver performs the complementary processing to receive and decode the packet.
