Abstract: A process for producing light olefins comprising thermal cracking. Hydrocracked streams are thermally cracked in a steam cracker to produce light olefins. A pyrolysis gas stream is separated into a light stream and a heavy stream. A light stream is separated into an aromatic naphtha stream and a non-aromatic naphtha stream. The aromatics can be saturated and thermally cracked. The integrated process may be employed to obtain olefin products of high value from a crude stream.

Abstract: An auxiliary electronic fuel injection control apparatus for enhancing engine performance includes an isolation circuit connectable to a main control switch having an output voltage pulse and a ground. A pass-through switch is in electrical communication with the isolation circuit and is connectable to a fuel injector, the isolation circuit designed to substantially render the pass-through switch transparent to the main control switch. A re-driver switch is in electrical communication with the pass-through switch and is connectable to the fuel injector and the ground. An auxiliary controller is in electrical communication with the isolation circuit, the pass-through switch, the re-driver switch, and to the ground. The output voltage pulse triggers the auxiliary controller to turn the pass-through switch and the re-driver switch on and off to effectively alter a duration of current to the fuel injector.

Abstract: A packet switch includes a multiple of bidirectional ports that are each connected by dedicated signal paths to a multiple of memory subsystems that in turn are connected to shared memory within the switch. The signal path from each port carries a fragment of a data stream between the port and each memory subsystem. The ports send and receive data stream fragments in parallel from the memory subsystems. This parallel action reduces the bandwidth required of a memory subsystem by dividing the port's data stream among the multiple memory subsystems. In storing data for forwarding to another port, each memory subsystem selects on a time division basis in parallel the data stream fragments from the same port and stores them in memory. In retrieving data from memory for a port, each memory subsystem selects on a time division basis in parallel the same port to receive the data stream fragments read from memory.
