Abstract: An electro adhesion (EA) conveyor system for transporting a metallic container includes at least one electro adhesion (EA) pad. The EA pad includes at least one positive electrode and at least one negative electrode arranged in a predetermined pattern. The predetermined pattern is configured to generate an electric field when a voltage is applied to one or more of the at least one positive electrode or the at least one negative electrode. The EA conveyor system includes a conveyor belt operable to transport the metallic container between a first position and a second position. The metallic container is held against the conveyor belt via EA generated by the EA pad during transportation. The EA conveyor system may be adjusted by a control unit of a control system based on production line information such as operational data received from sensors.

Abstract: A process for alkylating hydroxyaromatic compounds with a terminally unsaturated polymer in the presence of a partially or completely dehydrated heteropoly catalyst. The alkylated hydroxyaromatic compounds so formed are useful as precursors for the production of fuel and lubricant additives.
