Abstract: A system for processing plastic waste may include a feed line, a feed fractionator, a hydrotreater, a catalytic reforming unit, a heavy oil cracker, and a steam cracker. A pyrolyzed plastics feed is separated into light, medium, and heavy hydrocarbon streams. The hydrotreater removes sulfur, and the catalytic reforming unit produces a circular aromatic-rich stream. The heavy oil cracker generates cracked streams. The steam cracker produces a circular olefin stream from a cracked stream. A system for processing plastic waste may include the feed line, the feed fractionator, the hydrotreater, a medium hydrocarbon fractionator, the catalytic reforming unit, a full-range reforming unit, the heavy oil cracker, and the steam cracker. The medium hydrocarbon fractionator produces two hydrocarbon streams. The full-range naphtha reforming unit produces a second circular aromatic-rich stream.

Abstract: A training device for simulating the action of stun grenades and the like is provided by combining a delay cartridge with a conversion fitting that installs in a grenade body. A firing assembly fitted to the grenade body over the delay cartridge is percussively initiated through release of a hammer to activate a primer located on the end of the cartridge. The cartridge contains a delay-burning compound that subsequently activates a pyrotechnic charge. A suitable application is for training in the use of flash/bang training devices or “stun” grenades.

Abstract: A side shiftable carriage assembly has a carriage frame and a side shift frame. A bracket arrangement connects the side shift frame to the carriage frame for slidable movement in directions transverse uprights of a lift mast. The bracket arrangement has spaced apart first and second support and stop portions which position and axially align first and second jacks at a location closely adjacent first elongated guide and support rail members of the carriage and side shift frames. A fastening device removably connects the first and second jacks to the first and second stop portions, respectively. A restraining member maintains the first and second jacks on the first and second support portions. Rods of the first and second jacks abuttingly engageable with a force reaction device connected to the carriage frame moves the side shift frame transversely along the carriage frame. The side shiftable carriage assembly is particularly suited for use on a lift mast of a material handling vehicle.

Abstract: Connecting apparatus providing a pivotal connection controllably securing an actuating element at a preselected attitude.

Abstract: A cushioning device, for cushioning the impact between a closed end portion of a cylindrical member of a hydraulic jack and an end portion of an inner member reciprocable within the cylindrical member, including a blind bore provided in one of the end portions, an elongated plunger attached to the other end portion for telescopic entrance into the blind bore as the end portions approach each other and an orifice for metering fluid forced from the blind bore by the progressive ingress of the plunger into the bore.
