Title: Gasoline production by olefin polymerization with aromatics alkylation
Inventor: DANDEKAR AJIT BHASKAR
IPC: C10G21/14
Filed: 2006-02-28
Abstract: A process for the production of high octane number gasoline from light refinery olefins, typically from the catalytic cracking unit, and benzene-containing aromatic streams such as reformate. A portion of the light olefins including ethylene and propylene is polymerized to form a gasoline boiling range product and another portion is used to alkylate the light aromatic stream. The alkylation step may be carried out in successive stages with an initial low temperature stage using a catalyst comprising an MWW zeolite followed by a higher temperature stage using a catalyst comprising an intermediate pore size zeolite such as ZSM-5. Using this staged approach, the alkylation may be carried out in the vapor phase. Alternatively, the alkylation may be carried out in the liquid phase using the heavier olefins (propylene, butene) dissolved into the aromatic stream by selective countercurrent extraction; a separate alkylation step using the ethylene not taken up in the extraction is carried out at a higher temperature.

Title: Systems and methods to determine elastic properties of materials
Inventor: GERMAN PETER T
IPC: G01N3/00
Filed: 2005-03-29
Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods to use a measured driving-point response of a nonlinear material to determine one or more elastic properties of the material. The present invention takes advantage of the full information represented by the transient component, the steady-state component, the anharmonic components, and the nonlinear response components of a measured driving-point response of a real nonlinear material, without limitation in the use of large-amplitude forces. The elastic properties are determined by forming and solving a time-domain system of linear equations representing a differential equation model of the driving-point motions of the material. Based on a single, short duration, large-amplitude driving point measurement, both linear and nonlinear properties can be determined; both large-amplitude and near~zero amplitude properties can be determined; and elastic-wave speed and elastic moduli and their variation with depth can be determined. The present invention also provides a system and a method to filter an input signal to either attenuate or preserve each of one or more selected harmonic components that are harmonics of a phase reference signal.
