Patent number: 11773770Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning an intake system of an engine includes a pressure-resistant container having a reservoir chargeable with an engine cleaner composition and a discharge orifice for discharging the engine cleaner composition from the reservoir. The apparatus also includes a dispensing assembly including an assembly inlet connectable to the discharge orifice of the pressure-resistant container for receiving the engine cleaner composition discharged from the pressure-resistant container. The dispensing assembly further includes an assembly outlet, and a length of tubing for receiving the engine cleaner composition from the dispensing assembly. The apparatus further includes a timer configured to control a timed valve that, when opened, allows the engine cleaner composition to discharge from the pressure-resistant container. The timer is configured to delay opening of the timed valve for a predetermined period of time after actuation of the timer.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Energizer Auto, Inc.Inventors: Girija S. Chaubey, Tushar Kulkarni, Nathan Myers, Rajeev Menon

Patent number: 11262462Abstract: A method of detection of radiation is described. The method comprises providing at least one source of radiation; providing at least one detector capable of detecting radiation from the source; causing said source to emit radiation along a predetermined radiation path towards said detector; during a measurement period, detecting successive count events corresponding to photons from the source detected by the detector; measuring a duration of each such count event to determine a dead time associated with each count event; calculating a total dead time for the measurement period as the sum of each determined dead time associated with each count event; determining a photon count rate from the total number of count events during the measurement period; calculating a corrected count rate by applying a correction factor based on subtracting the total dead time from the measurement period. A method of scanning an object and apparatus for performing the methods are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Johnson Matthey Public Limited CompanyInventor: Nathan Myers

Patent number: 8415264Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a process for regenerating catalyst in a fluid catalytic cracking unit. Generally, the process includes providing a feed to a riser of a reaction vessel, and providing a stream to a distributor positioned within a void proximate to an inlet receiving unregenerated catalyst in a regenerator. The feed can include at least one of a gas oil, a vacuum gas oil, an atmospheric gas oil, a coker gas oil, a hydrotreated gas oil, a hydrocracker unconverted oil, and an atmospheric residue.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Daniel N. Myers, Paolo Palmas, David Nathan Myers

Publication number: 20120145528Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be an apparatus for treating a hydrocarbon stream having one or more compounds with a boiling point of about 140° to about 450° C. The apparatus can include an extraction zone and a regeneration zone. The extraction zone can include at least one settler. Each settler can have a height and a length. Typically the length is greater than the height. Also, the settler can form a boot, which can be adapted to receive a feed at one end. The regeneration zone may include a regenerator for an ionic liquid. The regenerator can include a column adapted to provide a regenerated ionic liquid to the extraction zone.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2012Publication date: June 14, 2012Applicant: UOP LLCInventors: David Nathan Myers, Manuela Serban, Kurt Vanden Bussche, Alakananda Bhattacharyya, Luigi Laricchia, John Patrick Brady
