Patent number: 11946000Abstract: A hydrocarbon cracker stream is combined with recycle content pyrolysis oil to form a combined cracker stream and the combined cracker stream is cracked in a cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent. The r-pyoil can be fed to the cracker feed. More specifically the-pyoil is present in said feedstock in an amount of not more than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the feedstock.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Daryl Bitting, Kenny Randolph Parker, Michael Gary Polasek, David Eugene Slivensky, Xianchun Wu, Jerome Leonard Stavinoha, Jr.

Patent number: 11945998Abstract: Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). In some cases, the pyrolysis and cracking may be carried out in different sections of the same furnace, or in different furnaces in the same cracker facility. Pyrolysis conducted in a furnace may or may not require retrofitting a furnace previously used to crack alkanes to form olefins.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Daryl Bitting, Kenny Randolph Parker, Michael Gary Polasek, David Eugene Slivensky, Xianchun Wu

Patent number: 11939534Abstract: A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alpha olefin or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alpha olefin composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an alpha olefin manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: David Eugene Slivensky, Daryl Bitting, Kenny Randolph Parker, Michael Gary Polasek, William Lewis Trapp, Xianchun Wu

Publication number: 20240040174Abstract: A content server may receive from a user device a request for a content asset and may send to the playback device a permit for accessing the content asset. The permit may be used by the content server in order to enforce a concurrency restriction, or a number of concurrent playbacks of one or more content assets desired or permitted by the playback device. In response to receiving a request for a content asset segment associated with a content asset, the content server may determine whether the number of permits currently granted to the playback device exceeds the number of desired or permitted accesses by the playback device, or a group of playback devices, to the content asset or one or more content assets. If so, then the content server may discontinue sending to the playback device any further content asset segments associated with that content asset.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Suk-Hyun CHO, William THING, Eugene PARKER

Publication number: 20230381053Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a walker equipped with one or more sensors, an onboard controller, powered wheels and associated motor controllers. The walker can sense its distance from the user and activate the powered wheels when commanded by the controller. The controller can execute programming including an automatic feedback control algorithm that regulates the distance between the walker frame and the user. In this manner, the walker automatically follows the user, keeping the user from having to expend energy to pull the walker along. The walker can then be utilized by the user solely for balance and support.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Jason O. Burkholder, John D. Schierman, David A. Neal, III, William T. Gressick, Aaron B. Olowin, B. Eugene Parker, JR., Christopher J. Wiles, Jared K. Cooper, Merrick L. Furman, Shawn Russell
