Abstract: Disclosed is a rubber connector for electrically connecting two
arrays of electrode terminals on electronic circuit boards, liquid crystal
display panels and the like with improved stability and reliability of
electrical conduction therebetween. The connector is a silicone rubber
sheet of a striped appearance prepared by slicing an alternate stratification
of layers of an insulating silicone rubber and layers of an conductive
silicone rubber. The most characteristic feature of the inventive
connector consists in the use of a conductive silicone rubber composition
comprising, instead of conventional silver particles, a specified
weight or volume fraction of conductive particles of which each particle
has a composite structure consisting of a core particles of an electrically
non-conductive material such as silica and a metallic plating layer
thereon having, preferably, a bilayered structure formed from an underplating
layer of nickel and a top plating layer of gold.

Abstract: An improved residual oil fluid catalytic cracking process for reducing catalyst
deactivation caused by vanadium and/or sodium deposited on circulating catalyst used in the
process from a residual oil feed, which process includes the steps of; contacting a residual oil
feed in a fluid catalytic cracking reactor with hot regenerated cracking catalyst under
hydrocarbon cracking conditions to convert the residual oil feed into lower molecular weight
hydrocarbon product vapors and form a spent catalyst containing carbonaceous deposits
including vanadium and/or sodium; separating a majority of the lower molecular weight
hydrocarbon product vapors from the spent cracking catalyst to form separated product vapors
and separated spent catalyst containing entrained hydrocarbon vapors; processing the separated
product vapors into desired product fractions; subjecting the separated spent catalyst to stripping
to remove therefrom a majority of the entrained hydrocarbon vapors; contacting the resulting
stripped spent catalyst in a regenerator with an oxygen-containing regeneration gas under catalyst
regeneration conditions which include a combination of a regeneration temperature and an
oxygen level in the regeneration gas which is effective to burn off the spent catalyst a majority of
the carbonaceous deposits, while leaving a majority of the vanadium and/or sodium on the
catalyst in less than completely oxidized form, and thereby produce a regenerated catalyst having
a carbon level reduced from that of the spent catalyst and containing vanadium and/or sodium, a
majority of which is in less than the completely oxidized form, and; returning the regenerated
catalyst to the reactor.
