  • Patent number: 7470022
    Abstract: Glasses are provided having one temple which is clipped to a cap, preferably to the brim or visor of a cap. The temple is associated with at least one joint which permits the lens portions to be pivoted from a use position before a user's eyes to a storage position along the user's head over one ear.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2007
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2008
    Inventor: Bruce Lerner

  • Publication number: 20070272593
    Abstract: A hydrocracking catalyst comprising zeolite crystallized as a layer on the surface of a porous alumina-containing matrix, said zeolite-layered matrix arranged in a configuration to provide macropores in which the zeolite layer is provided on the walls of the macropores. Hydrogenating metals can be incorporated into the catalyst.

  • Patent number: 6716338
    Abstract: A fluid catalytic cracking catalyst made from microspheres that initially contain kaolin, a dispersible boehmite alumina and a sodium silicate or silica sol binder. The kaolin portion contains hydrous kaolin and optionally spinel, or mullite, or both spinel and mullite made via kaolin which has been calcined through its characteristic exotherm. Calcination of the hydrous clay to metakaolin and formation of in-situ zeolite by treatment with sodium silicate yields a catalyst containing Y-faujasite and transforms the dispersible boehmite into a transitional alumina. The catalyst can be used to crack resid or resid-containing feeds as the alumina phase formed from the dispersible boehmite passivates nickel and vanadium contaminants.

The kaolin portion contains hydrous kaolin and optionally kaolin which has been calcined through its characteristic exotherm. Calcination of the hydrous clay to metakaolin and formation of in-situ zeolite by treatment with sodium silicate yields a catalyst containing Y-faujasite and transforms the dispersible boehmite into a transitional alumina which contains a gamma alumina phase. The transitional alumina may contain a delta alumina phase as well. The catalyst can be used to crack resid or resid-containing feeds as the alumina phase formed from the dispersible boehmite passivates nickel and vanadium contaminants.
