Inventor: REILLY JAMES W
IPC: C10G45/50
Filed: 1992-02-11
Granted: 1999-01-05
Abstract: A process for producing diesel fuel from a diesel hydrocarbon feed. Hydrogen is fed concurrently with the feed to a first hydrogenation zone (16) in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst (22). Liquid effluent from the first hydrogenation zone is then passed to a second hydrogenation zone (18), wherein the liquid effluent is contacted countercurrently with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst (23). Preferred hydrogenation catalysts are those comprising non-noble metals in the first hydrogenation zone, and may comprise noble or non-noble metals in the second hydrogenation zone.

Title: Firearm with removable and refittable functional element
Inventor: KRIEGER HUBERT
IPC: F41A19/46
Filed: 1993-06-24
Granted: 1996-08-06
Abstract: A firearm, for example a semiautomatic weapon, in particular an automatic pistol, has control elements for controlling several operation or adjustment functions of the weapon. By means of an easily exchangeable functional element (9.9') for example a cam disk, it is possible to determine which operation or adjustment function, among all functions made possible by the weapon control elements, the user can set at his weapon. The functional element (9,9') and/or a component (5) for holding the functional element (9,9') is designed and arranged in such a way that it can only be easily fitted in and removed from the firearm not assembled or only disassembled into its main parts (1,4), but also replaced by another type of functional element. The functional element (9,9') can be non-rotatively stuck on and removed from a rotary shaft (5), for example the hammer shaft. It is proved at its periphery with notches (9c) corresponding to determined angular positions of the shaft (5) in which the shaft (5) actuates control elements of the weapon for controlling various operation or control functions of the weapon.

Title: Sleeve valve flow control device with locator shifter
Inventor: SHY PERRY C
IPC: E21B34/14
Filed: 1995-07-11
Granted: 1999-01-26
Abstract: A sleeve valve assembly featuring a cylindrical housing within which a sleeve valve is axially slidable within a radially expanded section of the housing. The radially expanded section of the housing presents an inwardly extending stop shoulder at one point along its length and an annular expansion notch at another point. The sleeve valve includes a radially projecting chamfered boss about its circumference. A portion of the sleeve valve is longitudinally slotted so as to form collets. An outwardly biased C-ring is disposed about the sleeve valve within the radially expanded section. The C-ring is initially disposed to be free to travel axially along the radially expanded section between the boss and the stop shoulder. As the sleeve valve is moved toward an open position, the boss, C-ring and stop shoulder engage each other such that the sleeve valve is releasably snagged against further axial movement toward the open position. A significant axial force upon the sleeve valve is required to effect unsnagging. Upon application of increased axial force, the collets of the sliding sleeve are forced radially inward to permit the boss to slip past the C-ring. An exemplary stimulation tool incorporating the sleeve valve assembly is described which permits acid to be selectively communicated into the surrounding formation. A stimulation tool constructed in accordance with the present invention is particularly useful for acid stimulation applications in horizontal well conduits as the snagging feature of the sleeve valve assembly provides a positive indication that lateral acid flow ports within the shifter tool have been placed adjacent complimentary flow ports in the surrounding housing.

Title: Multirate serial viterbi decoder for code division multiple access system applications
Inventor: KINDRED DANIEL RAY
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1994-09-23
Granted: 2003-11-25
Abstract: A Viterbi decoder (20) for recovering the original bit data stream that was convolutionally encoded as a code symbol stream in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile communication system (22). The decoder (20) simultaneously decodes at the several data rates associated with certain multirate vocoders. The decoder (20) can decode at an unknown data rate in either continuous or framed packed modes. It accomplishes this by simultaneously decoding at multiple rates and by creating one or more data quality metrics for each decoded data packet. Special input and output buffering is provided to isolate the decoder (50) from system timing constraints.  The input buffer (48) includes selection and accumulation logic to organize code symbol data into the packet order for repeat mode or random burst mode at lower frame data rates. Decoded data packets for each of several predetermined data transfer rates are held in an output buffer (54) for about half of the decoding cycle, thereby permitting the system microprocessor to examine and select the appropriate decoded data packet. The decoder (50) also can be reconfigured to operate at any one of several predetermined convolutional encoding algorithms The Viterbi decoder (20), implemented as a single monolithic integrated circuit, can be used in any and all of many different multiuser telecommunications channels.

Abstract: A TDMA receiver (100) has a limiting receiver path (116) for access bursts and a linear receiver path (117) for all other traffic and signalling bursts. Since the access bursts are not interleaved in typical TDMA digital cellular systems, such as the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) digital cellular system, the loss of amplitude information is not detrimental to acceptable access burst error rates in the TDMA receiver (100) implementation. The TDMA receiver (100) determines the burst-type (either through a priori knowledge of the burst-type or dynamic determination of the burst-type) and a selector switch (124) chooses which receiver path (116, 117) is to be demodulated.

Abstract: A vibration damping device for mounting between two spaced portions of a vehicle for absorbing road forces exerted on the vehicle. An inner metal cylindrical housing forms an internal piston chamber and is connected at one end to one portion of the vehicle, with the outer end of the rod of a piston which is slidably mounted within the piston chamber, being connected to the other portion of the vehicle. An outer housing surrounds a portion of the inner housing and forms a fluid transfer duct or flow channel between fluid chambers formed on opposite sides of the piston within the piston chamber. An electrode is mounted in the fluid duct for applying a voltage across the duct to affect the viscosity of an electrorheological (ER) fluid flowing therethrough to increase the damping force of the device. The electrode includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced splines and intervening grooves extending longitudinally along the fluid duct. The bottom portions of the grooves have a decreased electric field applied thereto than the splines, providing bleed grooves or leak paths for the ER fluid to decrease the shear-rate of the fluid. The inner housing may be formed with elongated projections which extend into the grooves of the electrode to provide a more uniform electric field along the fluid duct to control the amount of leakage through the bleed grooves. A secondary electrode ground may be formed in the grooves to control the electric field in the bleed grooves.
