  • Publication number: 20060052233
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of particulate silicone resins in the absence of added organic solvents with particulate inorganic materials to form structured bodies and in particular molecular sieve containing structured bodies. The silicone resin is used in the form of a particulate with an average particle size of less than 700 um. Upon calcining, the silicone resin is converted to silica which acts as a binder.

  • Publication number: 20040066222
    Abstract: Non-iterative introduction of phase delay into a signal, without feedback, is disclosed. A system of one embodiment of the invention includes a controller and a mechanism. The controller provides a pulse having a length representative of a phase delay for introduction into a signal. The mechanism non-iteratively introduces the phase delay into the signal based on the pulse, without feedback.
