  • Patent number: 4990715
    Abstract: A novel catalyst composition comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate having a molar ratio of silica to alumina of at least 5:1, the aluminosilicate carrying gallium and silver, is useful in the conversion at elevated temperature of a C.sub.2 -C.sub.12 hydrocarbon feedstock into aromatic hydrocarbons.

  • Patent number: 4613818
    Abstract: Blood flow in human limbs is measured non-invasively by a nuclear magnetic resonance blood flowmeter which includes a pair of polarizing magnets whose fields are stabilized by electromagnets in each pole piece that are energized in accordance with the magnetic flux of the magnets as sensed by a Hall effect sensor. Blood molecules are either self-tagged by the polarizing field or are separately tagged by a tag coil whose field is orthogonal to the polarizing field. Once tagged, the variation in the magnetic moment of the molecule due to the tagging is detected by the variation in voltage in the receiver coil which is located orthogonally to the transmitter coil so as to reduce crosscoupling therebetween.
