  • Patent number: 8350111
    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a method for processing polyisopropylbenzene for producing cumene. The method can include passing a transalkylation feed stream to a transalkylation zone, and passing a reaction product to a separation zone. Typically, the separation zone produces a stream including di-isopropylbenzene, tri-isopropylbenzene, and one or more heavy compounds. Moreover, the stream may include at least about 0.7%, by weight, of the one or more heavy compounds based on the weight of the di-isopropylbenzene, tri-isopropylbenzene, and the one or more heavy compounds in the stream, and at least a portion of the stream is recycled to the transalkylation zone.

  • Publication number: 20090271577
    Abstract: In a peer-to-peer network system, a local node communicates with a remote node on which detailed information about content objects resides and optionally, the content objects reside. The local node uses caching, message request resizing and predictive message requesting to speed response time to user requests and internal control node requests.

  • Patent number: 5927862
    Abstract: A shaft bearing for placement in a hole in a bracket which has three main portions, a first cylindrical portion, which is larger in diameter than the bracket hole, at a first end of the bearing, a tapered portion at a second end of the bearing, and a second cylindrical portion between the first cylindrical portion and the tapered portion. There is a central cylindrical bore extending from the first end to the second end of the bearing. The bearing also serves as a spacer in installation of a garage door and associated components.
