Abstract: A mechanical assembly for supporting and positioning an outboard motor (44) in two primary positions. The first position is on deck (40) near the transom, a relatively safe position for attaching or removing an outboard motor while at sea. The second position is on the transom (42), in a marine propulsion operational position, with the propeller in the water. In the preferred embodiment of the positioner an outboard motor (44) is mounted to a mounting board (30) that is part of a car assembly (20) that slides in a captivated track adapted for mounting to the deck (40) and the transom (42). The track is a single continuous track from deck to transom facilitating positioning of the outboard motor in either of the two primary positions. In the alternate embodiment of the positioner the outboard motor can be positioned between the same two positions, on deck (40) and on the transom (42). The mechanism for spatial positioning using the alternate embodiment is a five-section series hinge.

Abstract: A new porous zeolite, a method of making same and the use thereof in catalytic conversion of organic compounds. The new product has a composition, expressed in terms of moles of anhydrous oxides per 100 moles of silica as follows:(0-2.5)M.sub.2/n O:(0- 2.5)Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :(100)SiO.sub.2wherein M is at least one cation having a valence n and wherein the zeolite is characterized by the distinctive X-ray powder diffraction pattern as shown in Table 1 herein. The new zeolite is prepared from a reaction mixture comprising a source of silica, a source of organic compounds of Group VB, alkali metal cations, water and with or without a source of alumina.

Abstract: A crystalline metal organosilicate having the composition, in its anhydrous state, as follows:0.9 .+-. 0.2 [xR.sub.2 O + (1-x) M.sub.2/n O]: <.005 Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 :>1SiO.sub.2where M is a metal, other than a metal of Group IIIA, n is the valence of said metal, R is an alkyl ammonium radical and x is a number greater than 0 but not exceeding 1, said organosilicate being characterized by a specified X-ray diffraction pattern. Said organosilicate is prepared by digesting a reaction mixture comprising (R.sub.4 N).sub.2 O, sodium oxide, an oxide of a metal other than a metal of group IIIA, an oxide of silicon and water. The crystalline organosilicates are useful as adsorbents and in their catalytically active form as catalysts for organic compound conversion.
