  • Publication number: 20250063131
    Abstract: Devices and methods for capturing vehicle undercarriage images are described. In some instances, a mirror assembly may be used to reflect images of portions of a vehicle undercarriage into a field of view of a camera to be captured, e.g., as a vehicle passes over the mirror assembly. Composite images may be reconstructed from the reflected portions of the vehicle undercarriage, and analysis may be performed on those reconstructed, composite images to identify features in the composite vehicle undercarriage images.

  • Patent number: 10597593
    Abstract: A process for the hydrotreatment of a fuel gas stream containing up to 15% olefins comprises the steps of introducing the fuel gas stream into at least one co-current reactor, where the stream is split into two flow fractions, of which one fraction is routed through an olefin treatment section, while the other fraction is routed through another section, subjecting the sections to heat exchange, combining the two flows, thereby equalizing temperatures and compositions, cooling the combined flow over a heat exchanger and reacting the combined flow to equilibrium in an adiabatic hydrotreatment reactor. A second co-current reactor with intercooling arranged in series after the first cocurrent reactor and before the final adiabatic reactor is used if the fuel gas stream contains more than 8% olefins.

  • Publication number: 20190382670
    Abstract: In a process for hydrotreatment of a gas stream containing both olefins and diolefins as well as organic sulfur compounds, the gas stream is introduced into a pre-treatment reactor, where diolefins are reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a supported Mo-catalyst not containing Co or Ni, whereby the diolefins are substantially converted to olefins. Then the gas stream is introduced into a hydrotreater reactor having a higher inlet temperature than the pre-treatment reactor, in which the gas stream is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrotreating catalyst under hydrodesulfurisation process conditions, whereby the olefins are substantially converted to paraffins and the organic sulfur compounds are converted to H2S, which is removed by subjecting the hydrotreated gas to a chemisorption or physisorption treatment.

  • Publication number: 20170166495
    Abstract: In the present application is described a plant and process for production of hydrocarbons, the process comprising the steps of: —converting at least a feed stream comprising CH4 and O2 feed into a conversion effluent by oxidative coupling of methane (OCM), —withdrawing one or more product streams from the conversion effluent by at least one product retrieval stage; —recycling at least a portion of the remaining conversion effluent as a recycle stream in a recycle loop, said recycle loop comprising a hydrogenation stage and a methanation stage; and —adding at least part of the recycle stream to the feed stream.

  • Publication number: 20140216806
    Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of EMI shields, such as EMI gaskets. In an exemplary embodiment, the gasket includes a body of indefinite length. The gasket also includes a base with a generally flat outer surface, an upright portion extending generally upwardly away from the base, and a tail portion extending laterally away from the base. The base and the upright portion may intersect the tail portion at a fold line. One or more perforations and/or a crease may be along the fold line.

  • Patent number: 7772505
    Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of shielding apparatus suitable for use in providing electromagnetic interference shielding for one or more electrical components on a substrate. In one exemplary embodiment, a shielding apparatus generally includes first and second walls. The first wall includes laterally spaced-apart detent protrusions. The second wall includes an edge portion disposed relative to the first wall such that an interface between the edge portion of the second wall and the first wall is substantially sealed against the ingress and/or egress of electromagnetic interference through the interface. The edge portion of the second wall is engaged generally between and laterally confined by the laterally spaced-apart detent protrusions of the first wall, such that the laterally spaced-apart detent protrusions inhibit movement of the second wall relative to the first wall.

  • Publication number: 20090000818
    Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of EMI shields, such as EMI gaskets. One exemplary embodiment includes a gasket that is deflectable into a collapsed orientation between first and second surfaces. The gasket may have a body of indefinite length and a base with a generally flat outer surface. The gasket may also include an upright portion extending generally upwardly away from the base such that the body has a generally inverted T-shaped profile collectively defined by the base and the upright portion. There may be one or more perforations adjacent the intersection of the upright portion and the base. The gasket may be deflectable between the first and second surfaces into the collapsed orientation characterized in that the upright portion bends generally downwardly towards the base with substantially continuous contact being maintained between the outer surface of the base and the second surface.
