Publication number: 20240132156Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes at least one unitary casting portion, a cabin portion and at least one shield element. The unitary casting portion includes several components integrally formed during a casting process. The unitary casting portion is assembled with the cabin portion for absorbing overload energy during a crash. The at least one shield element is arranged at the unitary casting portion to avoid an invasion of one or more deteriorated components of the unitary casting portion in direction to the cavity portion caused by the crash.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Mikael Fermér, Anders Sandahl, Anders Carlsson

Publication number: 20240091757Abstract: A method for activating a catalyst is described comprising the steps of: (i) installing a reduced and passivated catalyst containing crystallites of a catalytic metal comprising nickel, cobalt or iron in elemental form encapsulated by a layer comprising an oxide of the catalytic metal in a reactor, such as a steam methane reforming reactor, in which it is to be used, and (ii) heating the reduced and passivated catalyst in the reactor under a vacuum or an inert gas to a temperature in the range (TT?X) to (TT+Y), where TT is the Tammann temperature of the catalytic metal in elemental form in degrees Centigrade, X is 400 and Y is 200, to form a catalytically active surface on the catalyst without requiring the application of a reducing gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alan BOOTLAND, David DAVIS, Mikael CARLSSON, Jonathon HIGGINS, Andrew Edward RICHARDSON, John WEST, Emma SOFTLEY
