| 20090159493 | Targeted hydrogenation hydrocracking - This invention is directed to a process scheme in which a partial conversion hydrocracking (HCR) unit, preferably preceded by a hydrotreating unit, feeds unconverted oil to a FCC (fluid catalytic cracking ) unit. Most refineries run the FCC unit at the full capacity for optimal asset utilization. During shutdowns of Residue Desulfurization unit(s) which feed an FCC unit, it is desirable to reduce the conversion in the FCC feed hydrocracker. In this way, the feed to FCC unit is maximized. Jet and Diesel products that conform to specifications may be produced during low conversion HCR operation. Furthermore, undesirable over-saturation of the unconverted oil (UCO) from the HCR unit feeding the FCC unit can be avoided. Excess hydrogen consumption can also be avoided. Normally, further aromatic saturation of the middle distillate products from a low conversion HCR is achieved in a separate, post treatment, unit. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100200459 | SELECTIVE STAGING HYDROCRACKING - This invention is directed to a high conversion hydrocracking (HCR) unit to produce premium middle distillate fuel. Unconverted oil which is low in sulfur is fed to a Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit. The process results in reduced hydrogen consumption and optimum reactor capacity. Feed is hydrotreated and separated into liquid and vapor streams. The vapor stream is passed to further processing and light ends recovery. The liquid stream is passed to a vacuum distillation column, where it is separated into at least three streams, the first stream comprising low boiling products and light ends, a second, higher boiling stream comprising the feed to a second hydroprocessing zone and third stream comprising unconverted oil. The second stream is passed to the second hydroprocessing zone, producing effluents which boil in the distillate range. The second hydroprocessing zone is generally a fuels hydrocracking unit. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20120005949 | SOLVENT-ENHANCED BIOMASS LIQUEFACTION - The present invention provides an improved method for solvent liquefaction of biomass to produce liquid products such as transportation fuel. The method uses a novel solvent combination that promotes liquefaction relatively quickly, and it reduces the need to transport large amounts of hydrogen or hydrogen-carrying solvents. It operates at lower pressure than previous methods, does not require a catalyst or hydrogen gas or CO input, and provides very high conversion of biomass into a bio-oil that can be further processed in a petroleum refinery. It also beneficially provides a way to recycle a portion of the crude liquefaction product for use as part of the solvent combination for the biomass liquefaction reaction. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20080207219 | Estimating Whether Or Not A Wireless Terminal Is In A Zone Using Radio Navigation - A method for estimating whether or not a wireless terminal is in a zone is described. The method is based on the following observation: when a wireless terminal is at a particular location, the values of the traits of the ambient electromagnetic signals that vary with location represent a “fingerprint” or “signature” for that location. This enables the location of a wireless terminal to be estimated by comparing the observed values of the traits of the ambient electromagnetic signals with the fingerprint for each potential location for the wireless terminal. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080207222 | Estimating Whether Or Not A Wireless Terminal Is In A Geographic Zone Using Pattern Classification - A method and apparatus are disclosed for estimating whether or not a wireless terminal is in a geographic zone. The illustrative embodiment employs a pattern classifier that is trained on traits of electromagnetic signals at various locations. A computer-executable program is then generated based on the trained pattern classifier, and the program is installed and executed on a subscribed identity module of the terminal. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20100245115 | Estimating the Location of a Wireless Terminal Based on Signal Path Impairment - A technique for estimating the location of a wireless terminal at an unknown location in a geographic region is disclosed. The technique is based on the recognition that there are traits of electromagnetic signals that are dependent on topography, the receiver, the location of the transmitter, and other factors. For example, if a particular radio station is known to be received strongly at a first location and weakly at a second location, and a given wireless terminal at an unknown location is receiving the radio station weakly, it is more likely that the wireless terminal is at the second location than at the first location. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100329144 | Estimating the Location of a Wireless Terminal Based on Calibrated Signal-Strength Measurements - A process and machine for estimating the location of a wireless terminal is disclosed. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention is based on the observation that the signal strength of a signal from a transmitter is different at some locations, and, therefore, the location of a wireless terminal can be estimated by comparing the signal strength it currently observes against a map or database that correlates locations to signal strengths. In accordance with a first example, if a particular radio station is known to be received well at a first location and poorly at a second location, and a given wireless terminal at an unknown location is receiving the radio station poorly, it is more likely that the wireless terminal is at the second location than it is at the first location. | 12-30-2010 |

| 20110187525 | Search Area Reduction For Estimating the Location of a Wireless Terminal Based On Indoor Detection - A method of using a non-GPS-derived technique to estimate the location of an Assisted-GPS-enabled wireless terminal for the purposes of generating location-specific assistance data for the wireless terminal is disclosed. The wireless terminal then uses the assistance data to acquire and process one or more GPS signals and to derive information that is probative of the wireless terminal's location. The GPS-derived location information is then combined with non-GPS-derived location to form an estimate of the location of the wireless terminal that is better than can be derived from either alone. This combination of GPS-derived and non-GPS techniques is particularly useful when the wireless terminal can only acquire one or two GPS signals because it is not possible to determine the location of the wireless terminal with only two GPS signals alone. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110189960 | Estimating Whether A Wireless Terminal Is Indoors Using Pattern Classification - A method and apparatus for estimating whether or not a wireless terminal is indoors are disclosed. The illustrative embodiment employs a pattern classifier that is trained on a plurality of input/output mappings, where each mapping corresponds to a respective location, the output of the mapping is a Boolean value that indicates whether the location is indoors, and the input of the mapping is based on empirical and predicted signal data for the location. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, a computer-executable program is generated based on the trained pattern classifier. The computer-executable program estimates whether or not a wireless terminal is indoors based on empirical data reported by the terminal, and on a location estimate for the terminal that might be crude or inaccurate (e.g., based on Cell Identifier [Cell-ID], GPS, etc.). | 08-04-2011 |
