  • Publication number: 20150361355
    Abstract: A process is presented for the production of high quality kerosene from lower quality feedstocks, including kerosene produced from coker units, or kerosene from cracking units. The process includes hydrotreating the feedstock to remove contaminants in the feedstock. The hydrotreated process stream is then treated in a trim reactor at higher pressure to reduce the bromine index of the kerosene.

  • Publication number: 20150280514
    Abstract: A quick-release automatic tensioning motor base for supporting a motor. The motor is operably coupled to a device to be driven via a drive belt. The motor base includes base brackets and at least one guide rail fixedly coupled between the base brackets. A platform assembly, which supports the motor, is slidably coupled to the guide rail. A spring assembly is selectively coupled between the base brackets and fixedly coupled to the platform assembly. The spring assembly applies a biasing force to the platform assembly to maintain a belt tension along the drive belt. A quick-release assembly selectively engages the spring assembly and base brackets to permit movement of the quick-release assembly between a fastened position and a released position. A spring compression retention assembly is operably coupled to the spring assembly to maintain spring compression on the spring assembly even when the quick-release assembly is in the released position.

  • Publication number: 20150252669
    Abstract: An apparatus may include a tubular, a first isolator connected to the tubular and configured to engage an interior surface of the wellbore, a first pressure gauge connected to the tubular and configured to take multiple pressure readings over a period of time, and a first perforation gun connected to the tubular without compromising the communication of fluid through an inner flow channel of the tubular. A method may include placing the apparatus in a wellbore, and actuating the isolator to provide isolation of a first zone in a formation. The method may include activating the perforation gun to provide fluid communication between an annulus of the wellbore and the zone in the formation. The method may include allowing the pressure gauge to take a plurality of pressure readings over a period of time. Based on the pressure readings, the method may include determining a formation characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20150210939
    Abstract: A process for hydrotreating coker kerosene is described. Instead of a post treat reactor, a smaller trim reactor zone which operates at a lower pressure than the post treat reactor is used downstream of the product stripper. The trim reactor uses a noble metal catalyst to reduce the BI of the stripped product to less than about 150, and desirably in the range of about 50 to about 100.

  • Publication number: 20150127842
    Abstract: A Session Initiation Protocol session on a mobile terminal is tagged to associate the session with a specific application and SIP messages for the SIP session are associated with, and routed to, the specific application according to the tagging. A conduit manager matches sessions to the specific application when there are multiple applications sharing a same connection between the user terminals. SIP messages intended for legacy Rich Communication Services application are routed to the legacy RCS application and all remaining messages are routed to the conduit manager. A new data or media type which is not one of pre-defined RCS data transactions may be added by supplying additional parameters in a Session Description Protocol parameters section. User terminals may be secured from unwanted RCS applications by each application holding a valid permission to access an RCS service.

  • Publication number: 20140079023
    Abstract: Methods of IP to IP handover for VoIP calls are disclosed. Handover can occur using UDP in connectionless mode to switch networks, a hybrid approach including establishing both a TCP session and a UDP session and handing off using the UDP session, utilizing a network SIP proxy to maintain connection with the IMS server while the mobile device switches networks connecting the mobile device to the SIP proxy, using a modified Connection Manager that permits multiple IP connections simultaneously, and connecting via an on-device virtual network to an on-device router which reroutes calls to the appropriate network are detailed.

  • Publication number: 20130201295
    Abstract: A mobile camera rig (1) has a pair of cameras (2, 3) for filming a scene (4) and a chassis (4), which is bodily movable in the Y and Z directions, the X direction being to the scene (4). One camera (2) is mounted on rails (5) and provided with an actuator (6) for altering its position in the Y direction within the rig, that is altering its position laterally of the line of sight to the scene. It receives light from the scene via a beam splitting mirror (8) set at 45° to the line of sight. The other camera (3) is fixed above the mirror and oriented vertically to receive light reflected by the mirror. Movement of the camera (2) within the rig by the actuator changes the apparent inter-axial separation A of the cameras. The rig is provided with an inertial motion sensor (9) and is mounted on apparatus for its bodily movement, including bodily movement of the cameras in the Y and Z direction. The actuator (6) and the motion sensor (9) are connected to a controller (10).
