Abstract: Disclosed is a slug catcher skid that is comprised of an integral inlet separator sized for a single compressor flow and each slug catcher skid is only used with a single compressor. The flow through the integral inlet separator is determined by the flow rate through the single compressor to which it is attached. Additionally, the other piping on an individual slug catcher skid such as the common gas inlet pipe headers, the common liquid drain pipe headers, and the common gas discharge pipe headers are sized for the flow of multiple compressors in a single facility. Some embodiments of the slug catcher skid are further comprised of an inlet filter separator, a Positive Shut Off (PSO) system, and/or an equalizing system in various combinations. The slug skids of the claimed invention may be further comprised of post compressor functional equipment including but not limited to a discharge gas oil separation vessel and a glycol separation vessel.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assembly that is an all-in-one combination of piping and equipment systems designed to provide a compact, simple, pre-fabricated assembly on single skid platform to meet all the functional needs of a petrochemical gas compression facility. The skid platform assembly provides a traveling pathway for the fluid generated from a well and is designed to provide all required pre-compressor and post-compressor functional equipment needs for each individual installed gas compressor. The skid platform assembly comprises an integrated liquid separator that also functions as a common liquid sump for all liquid generated by the pre-compressor and post-compressor functional equipment.

Abstract: The invention relates to an instrument panel for motor vehicles, made of a thermoplastic material and providing an invisible cover for an airbag system which, as seen from the inside of the motor vehicle, is positioned behind the instrument panel (rear side). The instrument panel is characterized in that it has a weakened section on the rear side which defines an opening area in the instrument panel for the airbag and fully surrounds said opening area, and in that it has an ejection channel for the airbag fixed to it. The opening area in the instrument panel designed for the airbag is connected with the ejection channel by means ofa polymer hinge. Both the ejection channel and the polymer hinge are fixed at least to the opening area of the instrument panel designed for the air bag by means of a welded material. The instrument panel, ejection channel and polymer hinge are made ofa thermoplastic material having the same polymer basis but flexibilized in different ways.

Abstract: The present invention discloses several DNA mutagenesis processes using a DNA template containing several uracil residues in place of thymine, which can be applied without selection techniques to produce altered DNA sequences with approximately 10-fold greater efficiency than current methods of site-specific mutagenesis.This template has relatively normal coding potential in the in vitro reactions typical of standard site-directed mutagenesis protocols but is not biologically active upon transfection into a wild type (i.e., ung.sup.+) E. coli host cell. Expression of a desired change, present in the newly synthesized non-uracil-containing covalently closed circular complementary strand, is thus favored. The procedure has been applied to mutations introduced via both obligonucleotides and error-prone polymerization. The inclusion of two additional simple treatment steps before transfection results in a site-specific mutation frequency approaching 100%.
