Title: Metal oxynitride electrode catalyst
Inventor: KAMIYA NOBUYUKI
IPC: B01J27/24
Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: [PROBLEMS] Carbides and other most non-platinum compounds in conditions of an electrode potential as high as 0.4 V or above in an acidic electrolyte are activated and dissolved and cannot be stably present. Thus, the application range of relevant electrode catalyst is limited to low electrode potentials.  There is a demand for development of an electrode catalyst that in these conditions, exhibits enhanced stability while maintaining catalytic capability. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] There is provided a metal oxynitride electrode catalyst comprising an oxynitride containing at least one transition metal element selected from the group consisting of La, Ta, Nb, Ti and Zr, characterized in that the electrode catalyst is used at a potential of 0.4 V  or higher relative to reversible hydrogen electrode potential in an acidic electrolyte. This metal oxynitride electrode catalyst is useful as an electrode catalyst for electrochemical systems operated in an acidic electrolyte in the field of water electrolysis, organic electrolysis, fuel cell, etc.
Patent CA-2547884-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DIFRANK FRANK J
IPC: C03B9/353
Filed: 2004-12-06
Abstract: In a blank mold side of an I.S. glass container forming machine, mold cooling air flows from a fixed source through a supply conduit to a plenum that underlies and oscillates with a mold-carrying arm. Cooling air from the source flows upwardly through the supply conduit and then into a hollow member that has an inlet portion telescopically received in an outlet of the supply conduit. The hollow member, which is capable of oscillating motion in a horizontal plane with respect to the supply conduit, has a horizontallyfacing outlet with an annular part-spherical bearing surface, and an annular part-spherical bearing is positioned in the part-spherical bearing surface for pivoting motion in a vertical plane of the part-spherical bearing with respect to the hollow member. A cooling air inlet tube has an inlet end telescopically received in the part-spherical bearing. The outlet end of the cooling air inlet tube is non-telescopically received in a part-spherical bearing surface of the plenum. In a blow mold side of an LS. glass container forming machine, cooling air flows from a fixed source through a supply conduit to a plenum that underlies and oscillates with a mold-carrying arm without any substantial change in the direction of air flow therethrough. A cooling air inlet tube having an outer element, an inner element telescopically positioned within the outer element and a spring to resiliently bias the inner element and the outer element away from one another is provided to accommodate changes in distance between the source and the plenum that occur because of oscillating motion of the mold-carrying arm.

Title: Improved olefin plant recovery system employing a combination of catalytic distillation and fixed bed catalytic steps
Inventor: SKOURLIS THOMAS
IPC: C10G65/06
Filed: 2004-01-20
Abstract: Presented is an improvement to a previous invention involving the catalytic hydrogenation of the C2 to C5 and heavier acetylenes and dienes in a thermally cracked feed stream without significantly hydrogenating the C2 and C3 olefins.  The improvement involves the use of a fixed bed hydrogenation reactor system in combination with a modified version of the catalytic distillation unit used in the prior art. The modification to the catalytic distillation unit involves improvement of the liquid recycle scheme. The fixed bed reactors combined with the modified catalytic distillation allows for 100% conversion of acetylene and helps to maintain high conversion of the other dienes and acetylenes with no ethylene or propylene conversion under a variety of conditions. These condition variations include but are not limited to the feed diene and acetylene composition, the mol% carbon monoxide in the feed, and catalyst deactivation. With catalytic distillation alone, complete conversion of the acetylene as stated above can not be achieved without ethylene loss, nor would satisfactory operation and control be possible under the variety of conditions experienced during a commercial operation.

Title: A tuneable circuit for canceling third order modulation
Inventor: MANKU TAJINDER
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 2005-05-12
Abstract: A CMOS transconductor for cancelling third-order intermodulation is provided.  The transconductor includes a transconductance circuit and a tuneable distortion circuit. The transconductance circuit takes an input voltage and generates an output current having a transconductance element and an IM3 element. The distortion circuit takes the same input voltage and generates a current having an IM3 element of equal amplitude and opposite phase to the IM3 element of the transconductance circuit. A controller circuit tunes the distortion circuit to adjust its IM3 element to substantially equal the amplitude of the IM3 of the transconductance circuit. The distortion and transconductance circuits are arranged to sum their output currents thereby effectively cancelling the IM3 elements, leaving the transconductance relatively unmodified.
