摘要:
An exhaust fumes distribution system for use within a structure adjacent to a space in which a vehicle having an engine coupled to a vertically oriented, open ended, exhaust stack is to be located to discharge exhaust fumes out of the structure. The system comprises an blower, an elongated, hollow guide tube having a slot extending the length thereof. The guide tube includes a pair of sealing members located along the slot for forming a sealed interface through which the exhaust stack is arranged to enter, so that fumes from the stack are carried down the guide tube and vented out of the structure by the blower. The sealing members are of generally C-shape in cross section so that peripheral portions thereof abut along the length of the slot to form the sealed interface. The interface is arranged to open at any point along the length thereof for receipt of the open end of the exhaust stack of the vehicle, with the remaining portions of the interface remaining sealed so that the exhaust fumes cannot gain ingress into the interior of the structure through the interface.

An exhaust fumes distribution system for use within a structure adjacent to a space in which a vehicle having an engine coupled to a vertically oriented, open ended, exhaust stack is to be located to discharge exhaust fumes out of the structure. The system comprises an actuatable blower, an elongated guide tube, a collapsible conduit, and a wireless transmitter and receiver. The guide tube has a hollow interior and a slot extending therealong and is mounted horizontally above the space so that the slot extends from a first position adjacent an entrance to the structure to a second, remote position. The collapsible conduit is located within the guide tube and is coupled to the blower. The conduit has an end portion including an inlet opening and is biased into an extended position within the guide tube so that the inlet opening is located adjacent the first position to receive the open end of the stack through the slot. The conduit is collapsible so that the open end of the stack remains within the inlet opening in the conduit when the vehicle is moved in the structure from the first position to the second position. The wireless transmitter is arranged for actuating the receiver, which is coupled to the blower, so that upon operation of the vehicle's ignition switch the blower is actuated to vent fumes in the stack through the conduit and out of the structure.

An exhaust distribution system for a building to automatically attach/detach to a vertical exhaust stack of a vehicle located within the building. The system includes an elongate track for guiding movement of a trolley therealong from a first position adjacent the entrance of the building to a second remote position at which the vehicle is to be parked. The trolley supports one end, e.g., a mouth, of a flexible hose and includes a guiding device to orient the hose's mouth with respect to the exhaust stack to receive the exhaust fumes therefrom. An assembly automatically biases the trolley to the first position on the track. The system also includes a blower, a pressure responsive sensor, and a solenoid controlled damper to automatically vent the exhaust fumes out of the building whenever the pressure in the hose exceeds a predetermined level, e.g., a pressure level which would exist if the vehicle's motor was running.

An ethylene recycle method may include: obtaining an overheads stream comprising ethylene in a first gaseous state from an ethylene purification column; heating the overheads stream in a first heat exchanger to produce a heated overheads stream comprising the ethylene in a second gaseous state; compressing the heated overheads stream to yield a compressed ethylene stream comprising the ethylene in a first supercritical state; cooling the compressed ethylene stream to produce a cooled, compressed ethylene stream comprising the ethylene in a first liquid state, wherein the cooling comprises passing the compressed ethylene through the first heat exchanger; reducing the pressure of the cooled, compressed ethylene stream to produce a first recycle stream comprising the ethylene in a second liquid state and optionally a third gaseous state; and introducing the first recycle stream into the ethylene purification column.
摘要:
A paired basis swap risk and credit mitigation system and collateral minimization system. In swaps used to hedge forward contracts a system authority interposes itself and forms paired basis swaps with each of the paired swap participants and itself together with a Swaption to allow it to maintain a level book in the event of a default by any counterparty. In the event of a default the system authority has the ability to either terminate a swap and pay the non-defaulting counterparty an agreed upon termination payment, terminate the non-defaulting counterparty's swap and exercise the swaption to substitute a correlated swap with appropriate correlated termination payment; or substitute a new counterparty with an identical swap as the paired swap participant. Paired basis swap control through delivery can be enabled to continue the risk and credit mitigation benefits of the system.

摘要:
Peptides have been identified that bind with high affinity to dyed hair. Peptide-based hair reagents formed by coupling a dyed-hair-binding peptide to a benefit agent are described. The peptide-based hair reagents include peptide-based hair conditioners and hair colorants. The peptide-based hair conditioners and hair colorants are comprised of a dyed-hair-binding peptide coupled to a hair conditioning agent or a coloring agent, respectively. The peptide-based hair reagents or the dyed-hair-binding peptides may also be used as a protective sealant to improve color retention of dyed hair.
摘要:
Many linear alpha olefin (LAO) syntheses form a range of LAO products when oligomerizing ethylene in the presence of a Ziegler-type catalyst. The range of products typically requires a plurality of distillation columns to separate the LAO products up to a desired carbon count, but such approaches may be energy- and capital-intensive. LAO product separation using at least one dividing wall column may lessen these burdens. Methods for separating LAOs may comprise: providing a pre-processed product stream comprising Cg+ linear alpha olefins (LAOs) to a first of a series of distillation columns, at least one member of the series of distillation columns comprising a dividing wall column; and separating an overhead stream comprising a first LAO from the dividing wall column and one or more side streams from the dividing wall column, each side stream comprising a different LAO that also differs from the first LAO.
