Abstract: A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

Abstract: A module or fitting for applying and controlling the application of a liquid, gas, vapor, or spray, in an embodiment for applying a lubricant to the neck guides of an air conveyance line configured to slidingly move containers supported on the neck guides, the modules comprising a housing section having a lubricant reservoir formed therein, and a container support section, and defining a slot for securing the fittings to a neck guide support rail in a position interspersed along the air conveyor rails with the neck guides, with the container support surface in alignment with the neck guide support surface, and channels formed in the modules for dispensing the on the container support surface in close proximity to the container support flanges which are slidingly supported.

Abstract: A system for in situ plasma etch removal of deposition products that accumulate during device processing. An r.f. electrode is configured to removably fit coaxially within the chamber, a quartz tube. A chamber heater shield functions also as an r.f. return. Cleaning gas is introduced into the chamber and r.f. power supplied to the electrodes to initiate an r.f. plasma which etch cleans formations on the quartz tube walls. The deposition equipment is cleaned without the need for disassembly.

Abstract: A new reforming process employs a new rhenium-platinum catalytic composite having a rhenium to platinum weight ratio in the range of not less than 2 to about 5, whereby longer relative cycle length is obtained when reforming a naphtha having less than about 0.5 ppm by weight of sulfur than if the rhenium-platinum ratio is outside of such range.

Abstract: A high viscosity index mineral lubricating oil is produced by processing a heavy hydrocarbon feedstock, e.g., a deasphalted residiuum in two (2) catalytic steps. The feedstock is first catalytically hydrocracked, hydrotreated then catalytically hydrogenated and can be fractionated and dewaxed to provide a finished product. Improved step (1) catalysts comprise at least one Group VIB metal, Group VIII metal and mixtures thereof on a support involving both silica-alumina and alumina.

Abstract: An improved hydrocarbon reforming process involves contacting hydrocarbon feed comprising benzene and toluene precursors in at least two reaction zones which include a platinum group metal-containing catalyst. Improved yields of benzene are obtained provided that the inlet temperature of each succeeding reaction zone is increased relative to the inlet temperature of the immediately preceding reaction zone. Also, improved benzene yields are obtained by providing a limited water concentration in at least one of the reaction zones. Further, improved toluene yields are obtained by operating at least one of the reaction zones at substantially anhydrous conditions.

Abstract: A process for hydrocracking and denitrogenation of heavy oils to form improved products, e.g., middle distillates, and a catalyst for use in the process are disclosed. The catalyst comprises a composite support containing a total of about 30% to about 70% by weight of silica and about 70% to about 30% by weight of alumina, formed from a combination of silica-alumina and alumina derived from hydrous alumina selected from the group consisting of boehmite, and mixtures of boehmite and amorphous hydrous alumina. The catalyst contains catalytically-effective amounts of a Group VIb and/or Group VIII metal. In a typical example, a distillate heavy mineral oil having an end boiling point up to about 1100.degree. F. and containing from about 500 ppm to 5000 ppm of nitrogen is contacted with hydrogen over the catalyst at a temperature of about 650.degree. F. to 900.degree. F., a pressure of about 500 psi to 5000 psi, a weight hourly space velocity of about 0.
