  • Patent number: 10988423
    Abstract: A process for the fluorination of a chlorinated C3 alkane or alkene compound having at least one chlorine atom into a fluorinated C3 alkane or alkene compound having at least one fluorine atom includes the following steps: a) contacting, in a reactor, the chlorinated compound with hydrogen fluoride in gas phase in the presence of a fluorination catalyst to produce a fluorinated compound, and b) regenerating the fluorination catalyst used in step a). The step (b) of regenerating the fluorination catalyst comprises (c) the treatment of said fluorination catalyst with an oxidizing agent-containing gas flow to form an oxidized fluorination catalyst, and (d) the treatment of the oxidized fluorination catalyst obtained in step (c) with a gaseous mixture comprising a reducing agent and an inert gas. The catalyst regenerated in step b) is reused in step a) and the reducing agent is selected from C1-C10 hydrohalocarbons.

  • Patent number: 10890499
    Abstract: A machine includes a frame, an engine supported on the frame, ground-engaging elements supported on the frame and driven by the engine to propel the machine, a machine light structure supported on the frame, a multiple-axis accelerometer positioned to generate an acceleration signal relative to a base of the machine light structure, and a controller. The controller is programmed to receive the acceleration signal, partition the acceleration signal into overlapped window periods, transform the acceleration signal of each overlapped window period into a power spectral density, and pass the power spectral densities of each overlapped window period through a strain power spectral densities prediction model to generate predicted strain power spectral densities of the machine light structure. A health monitor receives the predicted strain power spectral densities and is configured to generate a notification responsive to the predicted strain power spectral densities.

  • Publication number: 20200101979
    Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes an actuator configured to control vehicle steering, acceleration, or shifting, a sensor configured to provide signals indicative of a lateral distance between a current vehicle location relative to a desired path, and a controller. The controller is configured to, in response to a determination that the lateral distance exceeds a threshold, automatically control the actuator according to an interstitial path. The interstitial path is automatically defined by the controller, and is based on a b-spline defined by a first position boundary condition at the current vehicle location, a second position boundary condition at a merge location relative to the desired vehicle path, a first curvature boundary condition based on a current vehicle yaw rate, and a second curvature boundary condition based on a curvature of the desired vehicle path at the merge location. The interstitial path is further optimized based on a cost function.
