Title: Gasoline sulfur reduction in fluid catalytic cracking
Inventor: KUMAR RANJIT
IPC: C10G11/05
Filed: 2002-07-09
Granted: 2008-01-10
Abstract: The sulfur content of liquid cracking products, especially the cracked gasoline, is reduced in a catalytic cracking process employing a cracking catalyst containing a high content of vanadium. The cracking process involves introducing at least one vanadium compound into a hydrocarbon-sulfur containing feedstock to be charged to a fluid catalytic cracking reactor operating under steady state conditions and containing an equilibrium fluid cracking catalyst inventory within the reactor. The amount of sulfur in the liquid products, in particular gasoline and LCO fractions, is reduced as a result of the increased vanadium content on the equilibrium catalyst. Advantageously, sulfur reduction is achieved even in the presence of other metal contaminants, such as nickel and iron, on the equilibrium catalyst.

IPC: A47K13/10
Filed: 2005-10-28
Granted: 2011-08-04
Abstract: A toilet seat lifting and lowering device for pivoting the seat to its raised position and for pivoting it back to its horizontal position without having to touch the seat. A first lever arm is rigidly attached at one end to a first part of a torque transfer mechanism and at its other end to a foot pedal and a second lever arm is rigidly attached at one end to a second part of the torque transfer mechanism and at its other end to the toilet seat. With the toilet seat in its horizontal position, a downward force on the pedal produces a rotation of the first part of the torque transfer mechanism which produces an opposite rotation of the second part of the torque transfer mechanism causing the toilet seat to pivot to its raised position. Lifting the pedal, preferably by providing an upward force under the pedal, lowers the seat to the horizontal position. In a preferred embodiment, a counterweight positionable on the first lever arm is provided to provide a constant torque to partially oppose the torque produced by the weight of the toilet seat about its pivot axis. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second parts of the torque transfer mechanism are both cams.
