Abstract: Example embodiments of automatic vehicle imaging systems may include cameras configured to capture images and/or video. Cameras may be coupled to booms and/or unmanned vehicles, such as unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles. Example methods may include determining a camera path for a vehicle, wherein the camera path is a path to be followed by a camera while the camera captures images or video of the vehicle, positioning the camera at the starting position, and capturing a first image or video segment of the vehicle using the camera. The example method may include associating the first image or video segment with a first description, moving the camera to a second position along the camera path, capturing a second image or video segment of the vehicle, and associating the second image or video segment with a second description.

Abstract: A process for the co-production of a stream of a fatty alcohol having first carbon chain lengths and a stream of a fatty alcohol having second carbon chain lengths, said second carbon chain lengths being longer than said first carbon chain lengths.

Abstract: A process for the co-production of a stream of a fatty alcohol having first carbon chain lengths and a stream of a fatty alcohol having a second carbon chain lengths, said second carbon chain lengths being longer than said first carbon chain lengths, said process comprising the steps of: (a) supplying a stream comprising lower alkyl esters of fatty acids having chain lengths comprising the first and second chain lengths to a first vaporisation zone and contacting said stream with an amount of hydrogen which is sufficient to vaporise the lower alkyl esters of the fatty acids having the first carbon chain lengths into the hydrogen; (b) supplying the hydrogen and the vaporised lower alkyl esters of fatty acids having the first carbon chain lengths to a first reaction zone comprising catalyst and operating under reaction conditions to allow hydrogenation to the desired alcohol having first carbon chain lengths; (c) recovering from the first reaction zone an alcohol product stream having first carbon chain lengths

Abstract: A process for the production of N-alkylpyrrolidone from ?-butyrolactone and monoalkylamine in the liquid phase comprising the steps of: feeding monoalkylamine and ?-butyrolactone, in the absence of water or in the presence of less than about 1 wt % of water, to a reaction zone to form a reaction mixture; heating the reaction mixture; withdrawing a product stream from the reaction zone and passing the stream to a distillation zone comprising at least one distillation column operated at sub-atmospheric pressure; adding water to the distillation zone; isolating at least one overhead stream from the distillation zone comprising monoalkylamine, water and optionally N-alkyl-pyrrolidone and condensing the overhead stream against cooling water.

Abstract: Apparatus for heterogeneous catalysed reactions for converting a gas to a liquid or liquids comprising a reactor shell suite for containing a slurry of a particulate catalyst in a liquid and having a gas outlet; a heat exchange system comprising one or more heat exchangers located within the reactor shell; means for removing at least a portion of the slurry from a reaction zone of the reactor shell and means for reintroducing the slurry into the reaction zone after it has been mixed with gas; a multi-phase mixing device for mixing slurry and gas; mean to distribute the slurry reintroduced into the reaction zone equally across a cross-section of the reaction zone; and means to prevent variation in concentration of gas in a cross-section of the reaction zone.
