Abstract:
An energy collection system for capturing wind energy being exhausted from an air exhaust system. The energy collection system has a frame and a wind turbine. The wind turbine has a blade configured to rotate about a shaft. Air leaving the air exhaust system in a vertical direction causes the blade to rotate which is then converted by the wind turbine into electricity.
Abstract:
Methods for co-processing a biorenewable feedstock and a petroleum distillate feedstock are provided. The petroleum distillate feedstock containing sulfur is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of a hydrotreating catalyst thereby forming an effluent mixture comprising hydrogen sulfide. A combined feed comprising the effluent mixture, optionally a recycle liquid, and the biorenewable feedstock is contacted with hydrogen gas in a reaction zone with a deoxygenation catalyst under reaction conditions to provide a reaction product comprising a hydrocarbon fraction. The combined feed comprises greater than 50 weight percent biorenewable feedstock.
Abstract:
A combined guardrail and cable safety system is disclosed. In one aspect, the present invention teaches a safety barrier including a plurality of cable posts spaced from each other and disposed adjacent to a roadway. At least two cables are releasably engaged with and supported by the cable posts. The cable posts and the two cables cooperate with each other to prevent a vehicle from leaving the roadway. A plurality of guardrail posts are spaced from each other and disposed adjacent to the roadway longitudinally spaced from the plurality of cable post. A guardrail beam is fixedly coupled to the plurality of guardrail posts and including slots. The two cables extend from the cable posts through respective slots formed in the guardrail beam permitting each cable to engage a respective cable anchor bracket securely fastened to a portion of the guardrail beam.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a device for measuring nutritional intake. The device includes a housing, an intake cell, and a controller. The housing has a support surface. The intake cell has a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader and a load sensor. The controller is configured to receive data from the RFID reader and the load sensor to associate a weight of a container with an RFID tag of the container. The RFID reader is supported by the housing to detect the RFID tag of the container positioned on the support surface. The load sensor is supported by the housing to measure the weight associated with the container.

Abstract:
In a conveyor band which has load-bearing components of expandible plastics material hinged to transverse rods with two or more of the components extending end-to-end across the width of the band between each adjacent pair of rods, interengaging projections and flexible portions are provided at the adjacent ends of the components. Normally the flexible portions are unflexed and the projections space the adjacent ends of the components apart, but in the event of expansion of the plastics material, for example as a result of water absorption, which causes lateral expansion of the components, the flexible portions flex under the effect of the increased pressure exerted on them by the projections and permit the components to move closer together. Thus expansion of the components is accommodated internally of the band, leaving its width unaltered.
Abstract:
One exemplary embodiment can be a process for treating an interior of equipment for an isomerization unit. Generally, the isomerization unit includes at least one of a drying zone, an isomerization reaction zone, and a stabilizer zone, for receiving a feed stream. Usually, the feed stream includes one or more C4-C8 hydrocarbons. The process can include combining an anhydrous hydrogen stream and anhydrous organic chloride stream to form a hydrogen chloride feedstock, and passing the hydrogen chloride feedstock to a reaction zone containing a catalyst including at least one of nickel, palladium, and platinum on an alumina support to form a hydrogen chloride stream, and passing the hydrogen chloride stream upstream of the isomerization reaction zone.
