Abstract: A specially constructed decoking apparatus is provided to effectively and efficiently bore a pilot hole and ream the remainder of a bed of coke with a high pressure stream of water or other cutting fluid without first changing nozzle heads or using different cutting instruments. The novel decoking apparatus has a vertical pilot nozzle and pilot pipe and a separate reamer and reaming pipe which are secured adjacent to each other and work in tandem.

Abstract: A process for producing a resist pattern by dry development using a resist comprising from 70 to 50% by weight of a novolac resin and from 30 to 50% by weight of a poly(ether pentene sulfone).

Abstract: Improved resolution in optical lithography, as used in the very large scale integration of electronic circuits, is obtained by employing a thin film of 4-phenylazo-1-naphthylamine between silicon substrate and overlying layer of light sensitive photoresist. The 4-phenylazo-1-naphthylamine acts as a stable, highly light absorbent medium exhibiting chemical and physical compatibility with the silicon substrate and photoresists with ether-type solvent systems.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved process for the alkylation of olefins in an alkylation unit feed stream in order to produce a higher yield of alkylate having a higher octane number, a lower acid consumption rate, and a lower energy consumption. Such a process involves passing a feed stream comprised of olefins and paraffins through a membrane so that the olefins are separated from the paraffins. In passing through the membrane, the olefins are facilitated in their transport by an isoparaffin sweep stream and together, the olefin/isoparaffin stream is passed into an alkylation reactor. Within the reactor, the olefins react with the isoparaffins to form alkylate.

Abstract: A building method and blocks in which the blocks have integrally formed joining elements along two axes, including a yin yang element to allow selective reversibility of the blocks to form a self-joint with another yin yang element on another block. The yin yang element is universal, and the shapes, volumes, and areas of a male yang and a female yin member are substantially equal on each side of a bilateral plane through the yin yang self-jointing element. Molded masonry blocks formed from cement, water, aggregate, and chemical admixture are assembled without mortar to provide a building system characterized by numerous advantages. Integral complementary elements on said blocks provide a continuous weatherstop in the assemblage along an axis different from the axis of a side having a yin yang element.
