Abstract: The process for the production of light olefins from a feedstock comprising at least an aliphatic hetero compound comprising contacting said feedstock with a silicoaluminophosphate molecular sieve of U.S. Pat. No. 4,440,871 at effective process conditions to produce light olefins.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of spherically-shaped zinc powders using an atomization process. The method involves an alloying addition of lithium to the molten zinc prior to atomization. The invention also provides for spherically-shaped zinc-lithium, zinc-lithium-lead, and zinc-lithium-lead-indium alloy powders which are produced using the method of the invention.

Abstract: Disclosed are two interrelated sets of adult skill-oriented games derived from Vectorial and Mancala-like intelligence. In respect to their structural elements and behavioral dimensions these games evidence numerous improvements over the state of the art. The essential, linking feature common to all games of the invention is the rapid qualitative and quantitative transference of pieces, as defined, within a restricted, vectorial field or matrix with a view toward establishing certain winning formations, values or results. Speed - the Mach Factor - accounts for up to 50% of the total values in the games. Part I of the games of the invention declares what I call Vectorial games and game-systems. This group is divided into three categories: miniature Mancala-like games, pyramidic games and tangramatic games. Part II relates to games which evidence new and improved formats, apparatus and methods for making and playing traditional Mancala type games.

Abstract: A titanium dioxide pigment is provided for use in polymeric compositions comprising a pyrogenic titanium dioxide pigment which has been treated with a composition comprising an organophosphate/alkanolamine addition product.This invention provides for a novel method for treating a pyrogenic titanium dioxide pigment in order to reduce yellowing when such pigment is incorporated into a polymeric composition comprising adding to such pigment a composition which comprises an organophosphate/alkanolamine addition product.

Abstract: A system for the detection of a biological analyte of interest is disclosed which comprises a microencapsulated fluorescer material which has been conjugated to an immunological specie specific to the biological analyte of interest, a means of disrupting the capsule containing the fluorescer and an energy source other than electro-magnetic radiation which is capable of activating the fluorescer.
