Abstract: A process for producing propylene from methanol, wherein methanol vapor is reacted on a first catalyst to obtain a first vapor mixture containing dimethyl ether (DME), which is reacted on a form-selective zeolite catalyst disposed as bed in at least two series-connected shaft reactors to produce a product mixture containing propylene.

Abstract: In a dispenser for liquid media, applicator of the dispenser is fixed to a medium reservoir. A finger rest for actuating the dispenser is configured such that it is axially displaceable relative to this subassembly. As advantageous refinements, a dispenser is proposed whose pump is realized as a user-independent pump, a variety of mechanical realizations being considered advantageous.

Abstract: A coil modulator apparatus for use in connection with heat transfer coil assemblies found in commercial heating and air conditioning units is used to limit the number of active tube sections in cooling coil assemblies. The two port modulator apparatus comprises an inner valve, having valve ports in the sides of the valve, that rotates within an outer housing having openings that correspond to those ports in the inner valve. Apertures in the outer housing connect with upstream and downstream tube sections in the bank of tubes. As the actuator arm of the coil assembly is rotated this rotates one of the valves changing the orientation of the outer and inner valve ports and so cutting off water flow in various tubes depending upon how far the actuator is moved.

Abstract: A user-configurable and/or self-configurable System on a Chip (SoC) device and corresponding remote programming method enabling the SoC to be reprogrammed multiple times from a remote chip file server. Once programmed with the desired SoC design, the device can be debugged remotely in real-time by one or more users. The device includes a helper microcontroller/programmer, and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) fabric which is divided into a plurality of programmable logic and clock driver domains that may be independently programmed by way of the helper microcontroller. Once programmed, the helper microcontroller can serve as a real-time monitor/data exchange sub-controller and/or may be used by the end application.

Abstract: A coil modulator apparatus for use in connection with heat transfer coil assemblies found in commercial heating and air conditioning units is used to limit the number of active tube sections carrying fluid in cooling coil assemblies. The single port modulator apparatus comprises an inner valve with an inner and outer housing. The modulator has valve ports in the sides of the modulator. The inner valve rotates within the outer housing and the openings in the inner housing correspond to those ports in the outer valve. These openings connect with upstream or downstream tube sections in the bank of tubes and allow flow of fluid to be diverted. The actuator arm of the coil assembly rotates the inner valve thus changing the orientation of the outer and inner valve ports and so diverting fluid flow from various numbers of tubes depending upon how far the actuator is moved.

Abstract: A coil modulator apparatus for use in connection with heat transfer coil assemblies found in commercial heating and air conditioning units is used to divert passage of water flow in certain sections of each tube in the coil assembly. The coil modulator apparatus comprises an inner valve, having valve ports in the sides of the valve, that rotates within an outer housing. Apertures in the outer housing connect with each tube in the bank of tubes so that there is an aperture in the outer housing that connects with both the downstream tube section and the upstream tube section of each tube. A portion of the water that collects in the modulator then flows back out of the modulator and into each of the downstream sections of every tube in the coil assembly. Another portion of the water in the modulator is diverted from the bank of tubes so that it flows out of the bypass tube of the modulator and directly back to the return feed of the coil assembly unit.

Abstract: A feed mixture containing C.sub.4 -olefins to C.sub.7 -olefins is evaporated and mixed with steam in a weight ratio of H.sub.2 O:hydrocarbons in the range from 0.5:1 to 3:1. The steam containing feed mixture with an inlet temperature in the range from 380.degree. to 500.degree. C. is introduced into a reactor, which contains a bed of granular, form-selective zeolite catalyst. The zeolite is of the pentasil type and has an atomic ratio of Si:Al of 10:1 to 200:1. From the bed a product mixture is withdrawn whose temperature is 20.degree. to 80.degree. lower than the inlet temperature, and whose total content of propylene and butene isomers is at least 60 wt-% of the olefinic constituents of the feed mixture.
