Abstract: A feed mixture comprising at least one C3 olefin and/or at least one C4 olefin may be contacted with a zeolite catalyst under oligomerization reaction conditions to form a product mixture comprising a plurality of olefin oligomers. The zeolite catalyst, optionally with one or more further modifications, may be selected for operability at high WHSV values that may produce at least C12 olefins in the product mixture having an average branching index of about 2.2 or less. Under suitable conditions, C10-C13 olefins may comprise at least about 25% of the product mixture, M based on total olefin oligomers. Percentage conversion of the at least one C3 olefin and/or at least one C4 olefin may impact the average branching index of at least C12 olefin oligomers and selectivity for C10-C13 olefin oligomers. An amount of C4 olefin in the feed mixture may produce a targeted selectivity for at least C1 olefins.

Abstract: The frame sequence table (FST) architecture disclosed here partitions an FST stored in the Block RAM on an FPGA into at least two tables for emulating frame sequences for testing network equipment by providing more accurate emulations of network environments. In some implementations, one FST (the primary FST) provides frame listings for high data rate streams, while the other FST provides low data rate streams (the “slow” FST, or SFST). Data compression techniques may be used for the primary FST, allowing emulation of high frame rates using multiple repetitions of frames, while the separation of low frequency streams into the SFST (along with residuals from the primary FST), allows them to be represented accurately when mixed into the final data stream in the output port. A “ping-pong” state machine implemented in firmware governs the selection of data streams from the primary FST and SFST into the output data flow.
