Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for upgrading a raffinate butene (C4 Raffinate) stream to propylene which can produce polymer grade propylene (PGP) by a metathesis process, without consuming fresh ethylene as a feedstock. By recycling ethylene byproduct in the metathesis equilibrium, propylene selectivity can be further improved without negatively impacting butene conversion. Additionally, upon PGP separation, this technology can provide an effluent acceptable for alkylate production by achieving a balanced butene conversion and heavies coproduction. The disclosed process is a relatively low temperature process which can be deployed as a drop-in option for conventional ethylene/butene metathesis unit and provide additional flexibility to existing operations to balance the supply and demand of C2-C4 light olefins.

Abstract: A pulmonary resuscitating device designed for single time use and for use with administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a heart failure patient. The device includes an endotracheal tube for insertion in the patient's trachea, a mouthpiece for a rescuer, and an air passageway therebetween. Included in the air passageway is a two-way valve which allows exhaled air from a rescuer to pass to the patient's lungs while diverting the patient's exhaled air to the atmosphere. An oxygen tap is provided between the rescuer's mouthpiece and the valve to allow oxygen enriched air to be administered to the patient.
