Patent number: 7575796Abstract: A resilient mat system where a mat has overall mat thickness T, and the mat has an upper layer with an upper layer thickness t, and a plurality of supporting resilient substructure columns, each column having a relatively uniform height h, such that T=t+h, wherein the ratio of h:t>3.5 for values of T>about 0.9 inch. Each column has a column wall that surrounds a central void in the column with the void opening at a bottom of the column. The column has lower zone that is a more compressible, relatively collapsible zone, and an upper zone that is a less compressible, relatively uncollapsible zone. There is a fenestrated mat connector with connector fenestrations sized and numbered to receive the bases of a plurality of columns from two mats therein.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2006Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Seamless Attenuating Technologies, Inc.

Patent number: 7575795Abstract: A resilient mat system has at least one mat with a mat thickness T, an upper layer with an upper layer thickness t, and a plurality of supporting resilient substructure columns, each column having a relatively uniform height h, such that T=t+h, wherein the ratio of h:t>3.5 for values of T> about 0.9 inch. Each column wall surrounds a central void in the column, the void opening at a bottom of the column. The column has in a bottom region of the column wall a lower zone that is a more compressible, relatively collapsible zone, and in an upper region of the column wall above the lower zone an upper zone that is a less compressible, relatively uncollapsible zone. The resilient mat system optionally has a relatively rigid ramp structure bordering at least one mat on at least two sides, and the ramp structure is preferably attached to a floor base to retain the mat, whereby the mat is removable from the border of the ramp. Alternatively, the ramp structure is attached to at least a portion of the mat.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 18, 2009Assignee: Seamless Alteratory Technologies, Inc (SATECH)Inventors: Richard P.

Patent number: 4725408Abstract: Apparatus for catalytic cracking of a selected portion of a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising a riser reactor and a catalyst regenerator, a regenerated catalyst cooler, and an absorber. Regenerated catalyst from the catalyst regenerator is conducted through the catalyst cooler into the absorber where it adsorbs hydrocarbon cracking feedstock and then returned to the riser reactor. A duct carries part of the hot regenerated catalyst from the catalyst regenerator directly to the riser reactor to supply heat for cracking the hydrocarbon feedstock.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1986Date of Patent: February 16, 1988Assignee: Texaco, Inc.Inventors: Roy E. Pratt, Scott M. Sayles, Kerry W. Bowers, Richard P. Scott, deceased

Patent number: 4619758Abstract: An improved method for fluidized catalytic cracking of a selected portion of a paraffinic hydrocarbon feedstock in which a paraffinic chargestock for a fluid catalytic cracking unit is processed for the separation of at least a part of its paraffinic components from non-paraffins by means of a zeolite composition which acts both as a molecular sieve and a cracking catalyst. The paraffins-containing fraction adsorbed on the molecular sieve is subjected to catalytic cracking in a riser-type fluid catalytic cracking reaction zone at a temperature in the range of 650.degree. to 700.degree. C. under subatmospheric pressure conditions for the production of light olefins.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1984Date of Patent: October 28, 1986Assignee: Texaco, Inc.Inventors: Roy E. Pratt, Scott M.

Patent number: 4308503Abstract: This invention relates to an adaptive demodulator for use in a phase shift keyed microwave communication system. The adaptive demodulator improves the system error rate at a particular carrier to noise ratio by monitoring the output of the demodulator and optimizing the phase offset of the carrier signal recovered in the demodulator to provide a high output. A particular example continuously varies the phase offset of the recovered carrier signal about the highest output value to track variations in the optimum phase offset.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1979Date of Patent: December 29, 1981Assignee: Post OfficeInventor: Richard P.
