Patent number: 9181498Abstract: A process for removing sulfur compounds from a liquid hydrocarbon stream includes the steps of feeding the hydrocarbon stream to a recirculation section of an extraction vessel wherein the recirculation section contains a first alkaline solution; passing the hydrocarbon stream through the recirculation section; recirculating at least a part of a first alkaline stream to a top deck of one or more liquid-liquid contacting decks of the recirculation section; passing the hydrocarbon stream from the recirculation section to an extraction section of the extraction vessel wherein the extraction section includes one or more liquid-liquid contacting decks; feeding a second alkaline stream to an upper deck of the one or more liquid-liquid contacting decks of the extraction section wherein the second alkaline stream includes a second alkaline solution; and withdrawing a hydrocarbon product stream from the extraction vessel. An apparatus for removing sulfur compounds from the hydrocarbon stream is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: UOP LLCInventors: Jonathan Andrew Tertel, Peter A.

Patent number: 8567256Abstract: A piezoresistive sensor chip element of a pressure sensor has lower face with an outer edge, an adhesion area and a non-adhesion area. The chip has a closed chip cavity for measuring the pressure of a medium flowing around the chip. The upper face of a substrate is fastened only at the adhesion area of the chip. The non-adhesion area extends at least over a circular area arranged centrally on the lower face and covers a third of the lower face's total area and extends over at least one connection area from the circular area to the edge of the lower face. The pressure in the pressure medium can spread through the connection area into a space under the non-adhesion area on the element lower face. The substrate has a recess located centrally under the sensor chip element.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Kistler Holding, AGInventors: Ulrich Albicker, Christof Sonderegger, Peter Meister, Jochen Von Berg, Rene Tanner, Jeffrey M.

Patent number: 8376458Abstract: A chair having an adjustable seat pan that can be moved from an angled to a flat position is disclosed. The chair includes a seat frame having a front end and a rear end with a seat back attached to the rear end of the seat frame. A seat articulator that includes a ramp bar that has a first end connected to the seat back and an upper edge with a second end displaced downward from the upper edge is adjacent to the seat frame. The seat pan is pivotally connected to the seat frame and a drop down link is pivotally attached to the seat pan. A cam roller is attached to the drop down link where it is positioned on the upper edge of the ramp bar in contact with the seat pan.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: B/E Aerospace, Inc.Inventors: Peter Meister, Larry Hazbun
