Abstract: Aromatic byproducts normally formed in the dehydrogenation of normal paraffins to linear monoolefins have been found to be detrimental in the usual processes of aromatic alkylation using the dehydrogenation product mixture as an alkylation feedstock. In particular, when solids are used as the alkylation catalysts with recycle of the unreacted feedstock to the dehydrogenation reactor the aromatic byproducts increase to a level where they exert a significant decrease in the stability of the alkylation catalyst. When the aromatic byproducts are removed in whole or in part alkylation may be performed at a substantially lower temperature, which affords alkylated aromatics whose alkyl portion has greater linearity than that observed at a higher alkylation temperature.

Abstract: An electronic watthour meter is digitally configurable to operate as several different types of watthour meters for metering electrical energy from a variety of different electric utility services. Automatic scaling of line input currents is provided to scale the voltage input to an analog to digital converter over selected ranges such that low level and high level input signals are measured in an optimum range. A digital signal processor is employed to calculate values for metered electrical energy and output pulses, each proportional to a quantum of energy flowing in the circuit being metered. The processor calculates the value of DC offset errors inherent in the various analog circuits of the meter and uses that value in the calculation of metered electrical energy to compensate for such offset errors. The meter employs automatic and manually initiated test functions for testing the operation of the processor and other critical circuits in the meter.

Filed: 1994-09-02
Abstract: Silver is added to the fill of an electrodeless high intensity metal halide discharge lamp, which includes at least one metal iodide as a fill ingredient, for controlling the iodine vapor level therein. In operation, silver reacts with free iodine, forming silver iodide (AgI), which has a relatively high boiling point and a relatively low vapor pressure. The iodine level is thus controlled below an arc instability threshold to promote and maintain arc stability. In addition, silver does not attack the quartz arc tube wall because silica (SiO₂) is much more stable than silver oxide (Ag₂O). Moreover, the addition of silver to the arc tube does not accelerate the decomposition of iodides in the fill, such as sodium iodide (NaI), cerium iodide (CeI₃), lanthanum iodide (LaI₃), neodymium iodide (NdI₃), and praeseodymium iodide (PrI₃), which would otherwise enhance devitrification and etching of the quartz wall. Lamp performance and life are thus substantially improved using silver as an iodine getter.
