Abstract: A fluidized process which comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feedstock with a fluidized particulate solid in a contacting zone wherein carbonaceous deposits accumulate on the solid and the solid becomes spent and wherein the carbonaceous deposits are burned from the spent solid to produce a regenerated solid; removing a stream of the fluidized spent solid and entrained hydrocarbons from the contacting zone; introducing the fluidized spent solid/entrained hydrocarbon stream and a stream of hot regenerated solid into a lower portion of a zone; introducing a stream of a fluid stripping medium, e.g, water and/or steam into the lower portion of the stripping zone to contact the spent solid therein; passing a stream of the spent solid mixed with the stripping medium and the hot regenerated solid upwardly in the stripping zone to an upper portion thereof under dilute phase stripping conditions; separating the spent solid from the hydrocarbons and stripping medium in a separation zone connected to the upper portion of the stripping zone; passing a fluidized stream of separated solid from the separation zone to the regeneration zone wherein said carbonaceous deposits are burned therefrom to produce a regenerated solid for return to the reaction zone; removing a stream containing vaporized separated hydrocarbons and stripping medium from the separation zone; separating the vaporized separated stripping medium from the hydrocarbons; recycling the separated stripping medium to the stripping zone. The process also contemplates introducing the medium into a lower portion of a dilute phase zone to cool the solid.

Abstract: A game apparatus (10) offers a game played by a plurality of players. The game apparatus uses an object having means for determining a result of the game, the result of the game being dependent on a movement of the object, a moving process of the object being observed by the players. Magnitude information indicative of a magnitude determined by one of the players is generated and detected in the game apparatus. A driving force is applied to the object so that the object is thrown toward a field (24) defined by the game apparatus. A magnitude of the driving force is controlled in accordance with the magnitude of the hitting force. The object is collected by a collecting member (70) moving on the field from a rear side to a front side. A pair of attracting members (428) are provided on the front side of the field and move in opposite directions. The object is sandwiched between the attracting members and, thus, the object is placed on a throwing plate (42) positioned in the center of the front side of the field.

Abstract: The condenser (10) has a condenser shell (20) with a reservoir portion (55), condenser tubes (30) for cooling vapor flowing over the condenser tubes to condense the vapor to a liquid, and subcooler tubes (50) in a subcooler compartment (40) for cooling liquid within the reservoir portion (55). The condenser (10) includes a drainage member (60) for forming a void in the reservoir portion (55) and having an upper surface (61) inclined relative to a horizontal plane for directing the liquid from the condenser tubes (30) toward the entrance to the subcooler compartment (40). The drainage member (60) reduces the amount of liquid required in the reservoir (55) for efficient subcooler and system operation by occupying space in the liquid reservoir that normally is occupied by liquid.

Abstract: An interative video/computer pointing system uses a magnetic sensor (104) to derive relative azimuthal information, and an inclinometer or accelerometer (103) to provide relative angular elevation information. The azimuthal information is processed (107) to yield an indication of any horizontal movement of the pointing device (100), and the angular elevation is processed (107) to yield an indication of any vertical movement of the pointing device. This horizontal and vertical movement information (from 106) is used to responsively control a video cursor (116), thereby enabling the user to point to and select various regions upon a video screen (102) by manipulating the pointing device (100).

Abstract: A non-cryogenic system for producing ultra-pure nitrogen includes a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit (3) for converting incoming ambient air into a process stream containing mainly nitrogen. The process stream is combined with hydrogen, in a reactor (7), to remove residual oxygen. The process stream is then cooled, and the cooled process stream is directed through a dryer (47). The output (53) of the dryer is ultra-pure, dry nitrogen. The dryer contains at least two sections (49, 51), one being the active section and the other section being regenerated. A portion of the output nitrogen leaving the active section is directed back into the section being regenerated, where it absorbs moisture, and is then recycled to the PSA unit (3). The result is an ultra-pure and dry product. The invention avoids the need for providing heat to the dryer, and also eliminates the need for many of the components used in prior art systems. The invention is economically operated even for small or medium-sized flow rates.

Abstract: The control operates on the individual brushless DC motors (2.1-2.N) driving the cylinders (1.1-1.N) in synchronism. High-resolution incremental encoders (3.1-3.N) supply signals to the controller (6) in conjunction with outputs from encoders (4.1-4.N) of lower resolution coupled directly to the motors. The axes of the motors are adjusted by individual drive controls (5.1-5.N) to maintain the same relative angular positions. When any component of a drive unit fails, all other drive units are run down to standstill in synchronism according to a temporal function provided for the defective unit and reproduced by the control signal.

Abstract: An optical displacement measuring system using a triangulation comprises a light projecting unit for emitting to an object a light beam which is amplitude-modulated by a reference signal having a pre-determined period, a light receiving unit for receiving light reflected back from the object and providing a pair of position signals, and a control signal generator for providing first and second control signals in synchronism with the reference signal. The position signals are processed by a switching unit in a time sharing manner according to the first control signal to obtain a first composite signal, in which the position signals occur alternately every integral number of the period of the reference signal. The first composite signal is amplified by a single amplifier at a desired amplification rate, and then sent to a distance determining unit, in which the polarity of the first composite signal is periodically reversed according to the second control signal to obtain a second composite signal, and a distance signal indicative of a distance between the light projecting unit and the object is determined from the second composite signal.
