Abstract: A Self Activated Power Brake comprising a rotating brake disk fitted coaxially to a wheel and the main brake caliper/shoes fitted on dead axle/body frame. A sliding mechanism having shaped resembles to arc in orbit of brake disk. The mechanism having in two major parts, one is sliding and other is fixed which consists sliding bed and fitted with main power brake caliper. A pilot brake caliper, which is in sliding mode (floating mode), fitted on sliding part of the said sliding mechanism. At least one power transmitting means out of suggested means is needed to be linked the sliding pilot brake caliper to main power brake caliper to transfer the friction power of the pilot brake caliper after required amplification of the same. On braking action, the pilot brake caliper which is actuated by fluid line coming from master cylinder, actuates main power brake caliper through at least one power transmitting means as aforesaid to do the job as a SELF-ACTIVATED POWER BRAKE.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the conversion of hydrocarbon streams with 95% true boiling point less than 400° C. to very high yield of liquefied petroleum gas in the range of 45-65 wt % of feed and high octane gasoline, the said process comprises catalytic cracking of the hydrocarbons using a solid fluidizable catalyst comprising a medium pore crystalline alumino-silicates with or without Y-zeolite, non crystalline acidic materials or combinations thereof in a fluidized dense bed reactor operating at a temperature range of 400 to 550° C., pressure range of 2 to 20 kg/cm2 (g) and weight hourly space velocity in range of 0.1 to 20 hour?1, wherein the said dense bed reactor is in flow communication to a catalyst stripper and a regenerator for continuous regeneration of the coked catalyst in presence of air and or oxygen containing gases, the catalyst being continuously circulated between the reactor-regenerator system.
