  • Publication number: 20250084331
    Abstract: Process for making sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from specific bio-ethylene oligomerization reactions producing a C4-C8 alpha-olefin and a by-product mixture of C10 olefins. This mixed decene stream is upgraded by further oligomerizing with at least one C4-C6 alpha-olefin to provide a C16? olefin stream, which is hydrogenated to C16? paraffins which is used to form a SAF. Employing bio-ethylene to produce the mixed decene stream, which is relatively low-value due in part to its non-selectivity, leverages that non-selectivity into a desirable sustainable aviation fuel product where the low selectivity is preferable. These and other embodiments and aspects are described herein.

  • Patent number: 8545199
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vane pump (1), in particular a regulatable oil pump for a lubricating system, with a pump housing (2) with at least one housing tank (6) and with a vane rotor (11) disposed in the housing tank (6) mounted so that it can be rotated by means of a drive shaft (10) in the pump housing (2) constituting an axis of rotation (23) which provides a mount for vanes (15) in approximately radially extending fitting slots (14). An adjusting ring (27) is provided enclosing the vane rotor (11) and circumferentially bounding pump cells (26) which, by means of a cylindrical internal wall surface (31), can be displaced between a concentric position with respect to the vane rotor (11) and an eccentric position relative thereto, to which pressured is applied by positioning torques caused by the medium pressure and a positioning mechanism (47) in order to regulate a pressure level.

  • Publication number: 20090276376
    Abstract: The purpose of this patent application is to secure the exclusive right for the expression of diminished value represented as a percentage or decimal equivalent. In the field of automotive valuation there is no way to provide equality between wholesale & retail automobile markets & conflicting values—other than using percentage or decimal equivalent. At the time of this application, there is currently no standardized or truly interchangeable format in which diminished value may be calculated—especially one in which value of diminishment may be calculated using any and all existing wholesale or retail vehicle value sources. This invention will provide consumer protection from any automobile industry professional when their automobile is involved in an incident that would reduce the value of a vehicle. It will also allow for the general public to have access to the same information as any industry professional needing to determine diminished value.
