Patent number: 9669377Abstract: An ionic liquid reactor unit and a process for controlling heat generation from an ionic liquid reactor unit. The ionic liquid reactor unit may include an external heat exchanger. The effluent from the reactor is separated in a separation zone allowing the hydrocarbon phase to transfer heat to a cooling fluid. The heat exchanger may be a tube-in-shell, a spiral plate heat exchanger, a hair pin heat exchanger. The heat exchanger accommodates the separation of the ionic liquid from the hydrocarbon phase, and may allow for the ion liquid to be drained.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Zhanping Xu, James Hagen, Sanford A. Victor, Phillip F. Daly, Kurt Detrick

Patent number: 6491315Abstract: A brake warning and step for bumper which is a combination brake warning light assembly and step that is inserted into a vehicle's trailer hitch connection. The device comprises a tubular steel housing having a tubular steel hitch insertion member opposite a side with three or four holes having brake lights mounted therein. The lights are connected to the vehicle's wiring harness using a suitable connection and are illuminated when the brakes are applied to give following vehicles additional warning that a stop is being made. Also, the device is strong enough to be used as a step when attached to a sport utility vehicle or truck hitch connection.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2000Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Inventors: James A. Hagen, Jerry Wentz

Patent number: 6026568Abstract: An internal combustion engine of either two-cycle or four-cycle construction including a block having at least one cylinder bore therein having sidewalls carrying a liner of a structural fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite material disposed in sealed fiber reinforced sliding relationship within the cylinder bore, and a cylinder head sealing atop end of the cylinder bore to form a closed combustion chamber in combination with the piston. The cylinder head also has the structural fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite material disposed on an inner surface thereof facing the combustion chamber. The preferred engine is a two-cycle engine having an externally scavenged intake system and an oil sump lubricating system thereby eliminating the need to separately mix or inject lubricating oil. Higher operating temperatures and closer tolerances allow higher fuel efficiency and less pollutant production.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 1997Date of Patent: February 22, 2000Assignee: Northrop GrummanInventors: Steven Donald Atmur, Thomas Edward Strasser, Philip Shacter, Michael James Hagen
