Title: Axial convective reformer
Inventor: LICHT WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: F22B1/02
Filed: 2006-06-07
Granted: 2010-07-06
Abstract: A steam/hydrocarbon reformer employing a conventional radiantly heated first reformer section and a flue-gas heated second reformer section is disclosed. The second reformer section comprises catalyst-containing tubes for partially reforming a hydrocarbon stream. The catalyst-containing tubes in the second reformer section are disposed in a conduit for conveying flue gas from the first reformer section, thereby receiving heat from the flue gases. The flue gases flow either cocurrent or countercurrent to the process gas in the catalyst-containing tubes in the second reformer section. The partially reformed hydrocarbon stream from the second reformer section is fed to the catalyst-containing tubes in the first reformer section thereby producing a hydrogen-rich synthesis gas.

Abstract: A powder metal mixture comprises a lubricant powder conventionally used to produce powder metal parts in combination with a modified lubricant. A  lubricant conventionally used to compact and sinter a chosen powder metal mixture is modified by adding to it starch particles smaller than the average metal particle, and optionally, micronized cellulose fibers in so small an amount that the modified lubricant is present in an amount less than 2% by weight of the mixture. The Hall apparent density and the Hall flow rate of a powder metal mixture made with the modified lubricant of starch or (starch +  fibers) remains within the ranges deemed desirable for production of compacted powder metal parts. Using the modified lubricant in lieu of the conventional lubricant increases green strength of a part made by compacting the mixture and improves dimensional conformance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of managing the rights of subscribers to a pay television system comprising an access control system (CAS) having subscriber management systems (SMS1, SMS2, SMS3), which are each managed by an operator (OP1, OP2, OP3), and a plurality of subscriber decoders (STBn) connected thereto. Each of the aforementioned decoders (STBn) is equipped with a security module (SMn) containing the rights specific to each subscriber, thereby enabling same to decrypt encrypted digital data from a flow broadcast by at least one operator (OP1, OP2, OP3). Moreover, when rights are being modified by an operator in the security module (SMn) of a subscriber, the access control system (CAS): (i) receives data identifying a subscriber (IDSMn) together with commands for the modification of the rights C(Dm) of the subscriber from a subscriber management system (SMS1, SMS2, SMS3) of an operator (OP1, OP2, OP3), (ii) generates an entitlement management message (EMM1) containing the modified rights (Dm), and (iii) transmits said message (EMM1) to the security module (SMn) of the subscriber by means of the flow containing the encrypted data. The inventive method is characterised in that the modifications are verified as a function of the properties and available resources of the security module (SMn) and in that the entitlement management message (EMM1) containing the modified rights (Dm) is generated when the result of the verification is positive.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne système tensioactif contenant un glyphosate qui a été créé et qui peut être utilisé pour produire des préparations contenant une concentration ultra élevée de glyphosate, dans laquelle la concentration de glyphosate est plus élevée que n'importe quelle préparation précédente répondant aux normes agricoles. Des concentrations plus élevées sont recherchées pour réduire les coûts d'expédition et d'emballage ainsi que pour réduire les déchets. Cette concentration plus élevée réduit les exigences de stockage et permet au fermier de manier un volume de pesticides moins important. L'avantage principal vient du fait que la maximisation de la concentration minimise le coût de transport de substances actives, ce qui maximise l'économie dans l'utilisation de glyphosate.

Abstract: A mixer apparatus for use with a vessel centered about a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The mixer has a blade body formed along a central head axis. The blade body has a first end, a second end spaced from the first end along the head axis, and a passageway extending between the first and second ends. The passageway tapers from the first end to the second end. The outer surface of the blade body defines an inside blade diameter "ID" at the second end and an outside blade diameter "OD" at the first end. The blade body is positioned within and coaxial to the vessel. A scotch yoke, operatively connected to the blade body by a shaft, effects reciprocating longitudinal movement of the blade body through a stroke "S", with a duration "T" for each stroke. Enhanced mixing efficiencies are achieved when the mixer is operated within a set of operational parameters defined by the equation: 80 <= 0.36 × OD2/ID2 × S/T <= 550, when OD, ID and S are expressed in inches, and T is expressed in minutes.

Abstract: An apparatus for optically measuring and electronically recording a dose is disclosed. A holding means receives and holds a syringe, which has a barrel and a plunger, in a measurement position. A light source in optical communication with the barrel and the plunger generates light incident on the barrel and the plunger when the syringe is in the measurement position. An optical detector is positioned to detect a total amount of the light that is reflected from the syringe. A recording means in electrical communication with the optical detector records a dose datum indicative of the total amount of the light that is transmitted. The dose datum is indicative of the dose. A response enhancing element, connected with the plunger of the syringe and in optical communication with the optical detector, reflects light to the optical detector proportional to the dose datum.
