Catalytic hydrogenation process utilizing multi-stage ebullated bed reactors

A process for catalytic multi-stage hydrogenation of heavy carbonaceous feedstocks using catalytic ebullated bed reactors is operated at selected flow and operating conditions so as to provide improved reactor operations and produce increased yield of lower boiling hydrocarbon liquid and gas products. The disclosed process advantageously takes advantage of an external gas / liquid separation unit associated with the first stage reactor to allow for a more efficient and effective catalytic hydrocracking process. The more efficient process is primarily a result of the increased catalyst loading and lower gas hold-up in the ebullated reactors.

Device and method to control volume of a ventricle

ActiveUS7530998B1Small sizePrevent further enlargement of a diseased heartHeart valvesHeart stimulatorsCardiac cycleReverse remodeling
A device used to treat heart disease by decreasing the size of a diseased heart, or to prevent further enlargement of a diseased heart. The device works by limiting the volume of blood entering the heart during each cardiac cycle. The device partitions blood within the heart, and protects the heart from excessive volume and pressure of blood. The device is placed within the interior of the heart, particularly within a ventricular cavity. The device is a hollow sac, with two openings, which simulates the shape and size of the interior lining of a ventricle of a normal heart. It allows the ventricle to fill through one opening juxtaposed to the annulus of the inflow valve to a predetermined, normal volume, and limits filling of the heart beyond that volume. It then allows blood to be easily ejected through the second opening through the outflow valve. By limiting the amount of blood entering the ventricle, the ventricle is not subjected to the harmful effect of excessive volume and pressure of blood during diastole, the period of the cardiac cycle when the heart is at rest. This allows the heart to decrease in size, or to reverse remodel, and to recover lost function. In some applications, a second device may be simultaneously placed inside the heart to take up excessive space between the heart and the primary device.

Package for sealing an integrated circuit die

A die has a part that is sealed with a cap. The seal can be hermetic or non-hermetic. If hermetic, a layer of glass or metal is formed in the surface of the die, and the cap has a layer of glass or metal at a peripheral area so that, when heated, the layers form a hermetic seal. A non-hermetic seal can be formed by bonding a cap with a patterned adhesive. The cap, which can be silicon or can be a metal paddle, is electrically coupled to a fixed voltage to shield the part of the die.

Spacer with passive components for use in multi-chip modules

A method for providing passive circuit functions in a multi-chip module and the multi-chip modules that result from incorporating these function is disclosed. Passive components such as resistors, capacitors and inductors are fabricated on or within a non-conductive spacer. The spacer is then placed between two active semiconductor dies and coupled electrically to either one or both of the dies. In this manner, area of the active dies that would normally have to be used for such passive components is freed for other uses and the spacer, which was already required in multi-chip modules, is endowed with extra functionality. In another embodiment, one or both surfaces of the spacer are coated with a conductive metal and the passive components are located within the spacer. In this embodiment, the spacer provides electromagnetic interference protection between the active dies.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to frits or solder glass compounds that include beads, and / or assemblies such as, for example, vacuum insulated glass (VIG) units or plasma display panels (PDPs) including the same. In certain example embodiments, the beads may be hollow glass beads of any suitable shape (e.g., substantially spherical, substantially eye shaped, substantially oblong, substantially square shaped, etc.) with or without evacuated cavities. The inclusion of such beads in a frit material may improve the thermal properties of the bulk fired frit in certain example instances. Additionally, the inclusion of such beads in a frit material may take the place of other more expensive materials in the frit, thereby reducing the costs associated with the fabrication of the assemblies.

Suspended bracing system for acoustic musical instruments

InactiveUS7446247B2More volumeMore freedom to vibrateGuitarsEngineeringMusical instrument
A suspended bracing system is disclosed that allows the sound board of an acoustic instrument, such as a guitar, to vibrate more. As a result, the instrument projects more tone and volume than that provided by conventional guitar sound boards. Conventional sound boards have wood or synthetic bracing glued all across the sound board. This is to prevent the bridge from pulling up when the strings are tightened to pitch. Using the suspended system, the invention disclosed herein secures the bridge, but drops the bracing below the sound board of the guitar to allow the sound board more freedom to vibrate.
