Patent number: 5595033Abstract: A plastic block comprising of a generally rectangular plastic block consisting of contoured faces on opposite sides connected by adjoining edges. These blocks give the appearance of glass blocks without the weight, fragility, or cost of standard glass blocks commonly used as decorative wall components. These blocks consist of interlocking male and female connectors integral to the side wall of the blocks so as to facilitate assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1995Date of Patent: January 21, 1997Assignee: John R. FreyInventor: John R. Frey

Patent number: 5443718Abstract: A reactor for refining resid includes an elongated vertical vessel containing a bed of catalyst which is expanded or ebullated by a liquid/gas mixture. The mixture rises in an updraft through the bed and then is recirculated with an increased velocity by an ebullating pump. To reduce gas holdup of the ebullated bed and to promote a more uniform flow, the gas is entrapped by two cascaded stages of baffles which have an internal conical shape to guide, direct, and entrap the gas. One of these two stages has a shape which creates a countercurrent in the flowing liquid to deflect any catalyst particles which might otherwise be elutriated by the increased velocity.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1995Date of Patent: August 22, 1995Assignee: Amoco CorporationInventors: Robert D. Buttke, John R. Frey
