Abstract: Hydrocarbon feedstreams are desulfurized using an alkali metal reagent, optionally in the presence of hydrogen. Improved control over reaction conditions can be achieved in part by controlling the particle size of the alkali metal salt and by using multiple desulfurization reactors. The processes herein allow a simple and effective method for removing the majority of coke formed in the alkali metal reagent reactions with the hydrocarbon feedstreams. This makes it cost effective to run such processes at higher severities (which result in higher coke production) thereby resulting in increased amounts of valuable converted hydrocarbon product yields. The process improvements herein may also be used to increase total throughput through a unit due to the ability to effectively manage higher coke content in the reaction products.

Abstract: A byte boundary information recovery mechanism locates the first bits of respective bytes of an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)-based serial data stream, used by a frame synchronization mechanism to delineate respective cells of the ATM stream, and thereby enables transceiver equipment to successfully receive and parse ATM traffic. The invention employs a counter offset-based scheme that generates an output signal in potential alignment with the (first bit) boundary of a byte of the data stream, in response to the contents of a counter reaching a prescribed count value. It then iteratively shifts, as necessary, the bit time at which the output signal is produced relative to the counting operation of the counter, until the output signal is aligned with the boundary of a byte of the data stream.
