Abstract: There is provided, in a preferred embodiment, a transportation vehicle for transporting an individual over ground having a surface that may be irregular. This embodiment has a support for supporting the subject. A. ground-contacting module, movably attached to the support, serves to suspend the subject in the support over the surface. The orientation of the ground-contacting module defines fore-aft and lateral planes intersecting one another at a vertical. The support and the ground-contacting module are components of an assembly. A motorized drive, mounted to the assembly and coupled to the ground-contacting module, causes locomotion of the assembly and the subject therewith over the surface. Finally, the embodiment has a control loop, in which the motorized drive is included, for dynamically enhancing stability in the fore-aft plane by operation of the motorized drive in connection with the ground-contacting module. Included in the control loop is a directional control, letting the vehicle move, lean and turn in response to an indication of the subject, e.g. that of leaning the vehicle. The ground contacting module may be realized as a pair of ground-contacting members, laterally disposed with respect to one another. The ground-contacting members may be wheels, a duster of wheels, or includes rotatably mounted arcuate element pairs.

Abstract: A terminal receives data from a storage device that stores data indicating a topic about which information is sought or with reference to which some transaction is desired. The terminal initiates an exchange with a network server and the terminal by transmitting the data received from the storage device. If an indication is made at the terminal that either a further exchange is not desired or that the terminal cannot presently connect with the server, the data from the storage device is saved in a memory for later use in conducting the further exchange. Various options attending this context include providing for the delivery of information by an alternate channel and other options.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel photo-detector structure and method whereby light is detected in a semiconductor substrate. Through the use of a small current of majority carriers an electrical field is created that directs photo-generated minority carriers towards a detection region. In this way, a large sensitive area 34 for a detector can be designed with a detection region having low junction area and low associated detector capacitance, thus enhancing output signal to noise ratio and/or speed of attached readout circuits. Simultaneously, the assistant majority current can sweep the minority carriers from deep within the substrate towards the detection region, thus improving the overall detector sensitivity. By making the majority current reconfigurable, a photonic mixer structure with two or more detection regions can be conceived, whereby the direction of the applied current will determine in an efficient way to which detection region the photo-generated minority carriers will be directed. In this way, incident modulated light can get demodulated, such that phase and amplitude of the modulated light can be measured for a.o. range finding applications.

Abstract: A unified process which couples a unique in situ catalyst regeneration process with a continuous reactive distillation under pressure for the alkylation of light aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene with C<SUB>2</SUB>-C<SUB>30 </SUB>olefins using a solid acid alkylation catalyst supported in the reflux zone of a distillation column. Periodic regeneration of the catalyst is carried out with a countercurrent injection of a C<SUB>4</SUB>-C<SUB>16 </SUB>paraffin below the benzene rectification zone at the top of the column, but above the catalyst zone while the aromatic hydrocarbon reaction feedstock is injected continuously at a point above a rectification zone at the base of the column where the aromatic compound is separated from the paraffin and by-products washed from the catalyst. The use of the C<SUB>4</SUB>-C<SUB>16 </SUB>paraffin with the aromatic at a mole fraction in the range of 40 to 90% enables a regeneration temperature of about 175-250° C. to be achieved and maintained by adjusting the column pressure and aromatic reflux rate. Significantly lower pressures, on the order of 125 to 370 psig, are required to achieve regeneration temperature than would be otherwise required with the use only of the aromatic hydrocarbon to dilute and wash the by-products from the catalyst surfaces.
