Abstract: A process for enhancing metal catalysts for carbon monoxide hydrogenation comprising reducing the catalyst so that at least a portion is in the metallic state, impregnating under a non-oxidative atmosphere with a solution of a salt of at least one metal, optionally in combination with at least one of an ammonium salt, an alkyl ammonium salt, a weak organic acid and ammonia, oxidizing with a gaseous oxidant in the presence of the impregnating solution, and reducing to form an active catalyst. Used catalysts enhanced by the process are initially treated to decrease their hydrocarbon content. The treatment may be carried out in a single reactor, or by carrying out up to all steps after catalyst may be withdrawn from a reactor and returned to at least one reactor, both preferably during operations. Up to all steps may be effected in a subsequent reactor, or in specialized apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for automatically actuating a door, in particular a vertical door, which aims to replace to a great extent known signal generation devices or control signal sensors for opening the door or for the security monitoring of the closing motion of the door. This is achieved by a detector of a security system, which is configured as a scanner detector and operates according to reflective principles, for monitoring an area by allocation to one of the ground level aprons of the door, said detector being mounted in the vicinity of a lateral border of the door opening, at a height, which is adjusted to the maximum height of objects supported on the relevant apron that are not to be registered as obstacles. The scanning beam of said detector scans a horizontal fan-shaped area, which covers the relevant apron and has a low vertical depth, determined by the depth of the scanning beam, as the monitoring area. The radial dimension of said fan-shaped area, which is determined by the maximum measuring range of the scanning detector, is selected according to the size of the relevant apron.
