  • Convection preheat system and method for radiant baking
    Patent number: 8049142
    Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a cabinet forming an oven cavity, a broil heating element, a bake heating element, a convection heating system and a controller. The convection heating system develops a flow of heated air into the oven cavity, and includes a fan and a convection heating element. The controller controls activations of the broil, bake and convection heating elements during an oven cavity preheating operation in which the broil heating element and the bake heating element are alternately activated while the convection heating element is activated.

  • Process for preparing an iron-coal slurry catalyst for hydrocracking heavy oils
    Patent number: 4923838
    Abstract: A process for the conversion of a heavy hydrocarbon oil in the presence of hydrogen and iron-coal catalyst is described in which the iron-coal catalyst is prepared by grinding coal particles and particles of an iron compound in oil to form an additive slurry or paste and mixing the coal-iron oil slurry or paste with the heavy hydrocarbon oil to form a feedstock to a hydroconverter.
