20130038465 | REMOTE METERING DEVICE - The invention relates in particular to an integrated device for the adaptation of fluid metering devices, comprising an attachment means for attachment to the meter, a pulse generating means for generating electrical pulses at a rate dependent on the volume of fluid used, means for counting and storing the number of pulses generated during a particular time period, and communication means for communicating the stored pulse readings. Ideally these elements are integrated into a single housing, attachable to a meter by simply plugging thereto, without the need for any programming. | 02-14-2013 |

20100223717 | FIRE RESISTANT MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR MAKING SAME - There are disclosed fire resistant threads and fabrics comprising an intimate blend of natural and synthetic fibers. In embodiments the blends may comprise between 50% and about 98% of the natural fibers. The fabrics disclosed may further comprise conductive and/or strengthening filaments which may be disposed on one side of the fabric. The fabrics may have a reduced surface resistance and may be formed into garments. Methods for making the threads and fabrics are also disclosed. | 09-09-2010 |

20120251407 | FURNACE COIL FINS - The present invention provides low profile, thick (“stubby”) longitudinal fins having a cross section which is a parallelogram, trapezoid or a triangle extending from 10% to 100% of a coil pass and comprising from 3 to 45 weight % of a coil in a radiant section of a furnace for thermally cracking one or more of paraffins and naphtha. The fins provide an additional surface through which heat may be transferred to the coil making the coil more efficient reducing greenhouse emissions. | 10-04-2012 |
20140178256 | Serpentine Fluid Reactor Components - Some embodiments of the present invention provide components for a serpentine fluid reactor which is optimized for one or more objective functions of interest such as pressure drop, erosion rate, fouling, coke deposition and operating costs. The components are designed by computer modeling the components individually and collectively in which the cross section of flow path is substantially circular under industrial conditions to validate the model design and its operation. Then iteratively the component designs are deformed and the operation of the deformed part(s) is modeled and compared to values obtained with other deformed models until the value of the objective function is optimized (e.g. at an extreme) or the change in the objective function is approaching zero. | 06-26-2014 |
20140178610 | TRANSFER LINE EXCHANGER - The present invention provides a transfer line exchanger which is optimized for one or more objective functions of interest such as pressure drop, erosion rate, fouling, coke deposition and operating costs. The transfer line exchanger is designed by computer modeling a transfer line exchanger in which the cross section of flow path is substantially circular and modeling the operation of the transfer line under industrial conditions to validate the model design and its operation. Then iteratively the model design is deformed and the operation of the deformed part is modeled and compared to values obtained with other deformed models until the value of the objective function is optimized (e.g. at an extreme) or the change in the objective function is approaching zero. | 06-26-2014 |
20140249339 | COMPLEX COMPRISING OXIDATIVE DEHYDROGENATION UNIT - Oxidative dehydrogenation of paraffins to olefins provides a lower energy route to produce olefins. Oxidative dehydrogenation processes may be integrated with a number of processes in a chemical plant such as polymerization processes, manufacture of glycols, and carboxylic acids and esters. Additionally, oxidative dehydrogenation processes can be integrated with the back end separation process of a conventional steam cracker to increase capacity at reduced cost. | 09-04-2014 |
20150141727 | INHERENTLY SAFE ODH OPERATION - In the operation of an oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) process, it is desirable to remove oxygen in the product stream for a number of reasons, including to reduce oxidation of the product. This may be achieved by having several pre-reactors upstream of the main reactor having a catalyst system containing labile oxygen. The feed passes through one or more reactors saturated with labile oxygen. When the labile oxygen is consumed through a valve system, the pre-reactor accepts product from the main reactor and complexes reactive oxygen in the product stream until the catalyst system is saturated with labile oxygen. Then the reactor becomes a pre-reactor and another pre-reactor becomes a scavenger. | 05-21-2015 |

20120109341 | METHOD FOR ASCERTAINING PROCESS VALUES FOR A PROCESS CONTROL - A method for ascertaining process values for a process control is provided. The method includes detecting a measured value, providing a model that simulates the process, and, on the basis of the model, calculating a calculated real value and a calculated measured value. The method also includes comparing the calculated real value with the calculated measured value to obtain a delay compensation value, and adding the delay compensation value to the measured value to obtain an accelerated value indicative of the process value to be ascertained. | 05-03-2012 |

20140115158 | MANAGING APPLICATION EXECUTION AND DATA ACCESS ON A DEVICE - Some aspects of what is described here relate to managing application execution and data access on a mobile device. A request to access data is received from an application associated with a first perimeter on a device. The data is associated with a second, different perimeter on the device and has a data type. It is determined, based on the data type, that a management policy associated with the first perimeter permits the application to access the data independent of a second, different management policy assigned to the second perimeter. Based on the determining, the application is provided access to the data. | 04-24-2014 |

20150223411 | NETTING, CROP COVER, AND GROUND COVER MATERIALS - The invention relates to crop netting materials, crop cover materials, and ground cover materials for agricultural applications, which is knitted, woven or non-woven, from a synthetic monofilament, multifilament yarn, or tape or combination thereof, formed from a resin comprising at least one pigment such that the monofilament, multifilament yarn, or tape, transmit solar radiation in the visible wavelength range of about 420 to 720 nm at a level similar to the level that the materials transmit solar radiation in the infra-red wavelength ranges of about 700 to about 1000 nm and 1500 to about 1600 nm. The materials also absorb solar radiation in the UV wavelength range of about 300 to about 380 nm. | 08-13-2015 |
