Publication number: 20240132425Abstract: Catalytic compositions and processes for depolymerizing polyolefin-based feed into useful petrochemical products are described. The compositions are a composite of a zeolite catalyst component and a co-catalyst comprising an activated clay component and/or a solid base component. These catalyst systems, along with heat, are used to both increase the depolymerization reaction rate of the feed streams and suppress poisoning effects of impurities that may be present in the polyolefin-based feed. This results in a shorter residence time in the depolymerization unit and more efficient process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Basell Poliolefine Italia S.r.l.Inventors: Sandor Nagy, Christopher D. Smith, Daniel F. White, Diego Brita, Simona Guidotti, Dario Liguori, Francesco Menichelli, Paolo Ruzzi

Patent number: 7561062Abstract: An automatic meter reading (AMR) system and a method of operating an AMR system are disclosed. The AMR system stores and transfers consumptive data, demand data, and data archives. The system and method can also provide a demand reset to reduce or eliminate the need to physically visit a remote endpoint device, for example a residential utility meter, to directly connect to the endpoint device for the collection of data. The system and method provide two-way wireless communication between at least one reader and a plurality of remote endpoint devices and are adapted for use with mobile readers. The AMR system and method therefore provide efficient and reliable storage and transfer of data, including high volumes of data, at mobile read rates.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2006Date of Patent: July 14, 2009Assignee: Itron, Inc.Inventors: Michael Schleich, Jeffrey S.

Publication number: 20060255965Abstract: A method of operating an RF communicator adapted for an automatic meter reading (AMR) system includes maintaining the communicator in a low-power standby mode and automatically responding to bubble-up events that are spaced apart by time durations. The step of responding includes initiating the RF communicator to exit the standby mode and enter into an active operating mode, and thereafter return to the standby mode. A time duration between successive bubble-up events is automatically adjusted. One method of automatically adjusting a bubble up rate includes automatically setting the bubble-up rate to a relatively higher rate during a time of relatively high expectation of an occurrence of a communication attempt, and automatically setting the bubble-up rate to a relatively lower rate during a time of relatively low expectation of an occurrence of a communication attempt.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2005Publication date: November 16, 2006Inventors: Christopher Nagy, Christopher Osterloh
