Abstract: The present invention relates to a diaphragm actuator for control valves, wherein the gear rack is arranged so that the points of contact of the gear rack/gear wheel system are situated on the straight line connecting the centers of the movable walls of the pressure spaces effecting the movement. Thereby, no torsion forces act on the diaphragm backing plates or on the diaphragms, but the forces effecting the movement of the reciprocating elements are substantially parallel with the path of motion and symmetrical. Additionally, the clearance between the gear rack and the gear wheel is substantially eliminated by means of a support roll with bearings. According to the invention, a lightly movable actuator is provided, in which the delays caused by clearances or wall friction of the cylinder-piston arrangement are substantially eliminated. The actuator can be implemented either as double-acting or single-acting.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a modified mordenite catalyst having an improved
stability in an alkylating process of benzene with a long chain olefin. The modified
mordenite catalyst is prepared either by a mild steam treatment or by a chemical vapor
deposition of Si. It is believed that the former will result in a dealumination of the
parent mordenite and the latter will cause the acid sites on the surface of the parent
mordenite blocked by Si deposited, both of which enhance the stability of the modified
catalyst without sacrificing the activity and selectivity of the modified mordenite catalyst.

Abstract: A transmitter, a broadcast signal, a multi-stage decoder and a method

modulation scheme, the signal probability distribution is shaped
