Abstract: Asphalt and elastomeric polymer compositions crosslinked with mixed polythiomorpholines or at least one alkyl polysulfide can give polymer modified asphalts (PMAs) with improved properties and/or reduced H2S evolution. When at least one alkyl polysulfide is used to completely or partially replace conventional crosslinkers such as S or MBT, mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) may be optionally used as a co-crosslinker. The use of mixed polythiomorpholines as crosslinkers provide PMAs with better low temperature profiles (BBR m-values). The use of at least one alkyl polysulfide crosslinker gives PMAs with improved PAV-aged DSR results, and reduced H2S evolution. The use of at least one alkyl polysulfide crosslinker together with MBI may give PMAs with improved PAV DSR Fail Temperatures.

Abstract: An asphalt material having improved paving characteristics and processes for its preparation. An asphalt base material is heated in a mixing chamber to a temperature sufficient to melt the asphalt so that it can be stirred. A water-insoluble heavy metal soap is incorporated into the chamber in an amount effective to reduce the PAV-DSR temperature of the asphalt base material by an incremental amount of at least 1° C. Thereafter, the asphalt material is recovered from the mixing chamber to provide an asphalt product containing the heavy metal soap which exhibits a PAV-DSR temperature which is less than the PAV-DSR temperature for the corresponding base material without the addition of the heavy metal soap. The water-insoluble soap is a C14-C18 heavy metal soap such as a C16-C18 zinc- or calcium-based soap including zinc stearate, zinc oleate and zinc palmitate. The heavy metal soap is added to the mixing chamber in an amount within the range of 0.05-3.0 wt. % of the amount of asphalt based material in the mixing chamber. A thermoplastic polymer may be added to the asphalt based material to provide a polymer-modified asphalt blend. An asphalt paving composition comprising an asphalt base material and a water-insoluble heavy metal soap in an amount to provide a PAV-DSR temperature lower than the PAV-DSR temperature of the corresponding asphalt material without the addition of the heavy metal soaps.

Abstract: A wireless communication unit (120) polls (200) a radio access point (110) at a certain frequency. The wireless communication unit (120) then determines (210) whether packets are received in response to the polling and determines (220) the percentage of polls resulting in receipt of packets. The wireless communication unit (120) then adjusts (230) the polling frequency to change the number of polls which result in the receipt of packets. Optionally, the wireless communication unit (120) repolls (240) the radio access point (110) when a packet in not received. Then, the wireless communication unit (120) plays (250) the packet at a certain time. Alternatively, the wireless communication unit (120) receives (310) packets without polling and determines (220) a radion access point frequency at which packets arrive at the radio access point (110). The polling frequency is then set (330) to approximately the radio access point frequency.

Abstract: A process for the disproportionation of toluene over a nickel-modified mordenite catalyst which has been pretreated with mild sulfiding procedure. The sulfur dose is employed in a minor amount relative to the nickel content of the catalyst. The modified mordenite catalyst is contacted with a sulfur-containing compound such as hydrogen sulfide or dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) under pretreatment conditions involving a temperature of at least 100° C. The sulfur-containing compound is employed in a relatively small amount to passivate only a minor portion of the active nickel sites. A toluene-containing feedstock is brought into contact with the pretreated catalyst under conditions effective for the disproportionation of toluene and a disproportionation product is removed from contact with the catalyst. The mordenite catalyst contains nickel in an amount within the range of 0.1-2 wt. %. The catalyst may contain another metal such as palladium or platinum, or a lanthanide series metal such as lanthanum or cerium. Pretreatment of the catalyst may be carried out by flowing a fluid pretreatment stream having a sulfur component into contact with the catalyst. The pretreatment stream comprises hydrogen sulfide or a thio compound which is converted to hydrogen sulfide under the pretreatment conditions.
