The invention provides a method for hydrotreating high-sulfur and high-metal residual oil, which comprises the following steps: the residual oil and catalytic cracking recycle oil are in contact with a residual oil hydrogenation catalyst in the presence of hydrogen gas and under the hydrotreating reaction condition so as to carry out a hydrotreating reaction; the reaction product is separated to obtain gas, hydrogenated naphtha, hydrogenated diesel oil and hydrogenated residual oil. The residual oil hydrogenation catalyst is a combination of at least two catalysts, namely, an up-flow reactor catalyst and a fixed-bed hydrogenation catalyst and the two catalysts are respectively put in an up-flow reactor and a fixed-bed reactor; the ratio of the up-flow reactor catalyst and the fixed-bed hydrogenation catalyst is 30:70 to 70:30. The method can treat the high-sulfur and high-metal residual oil and effectively slow down the ascending speed of the pressure drop of the fixed-bed catalyst bed, thus realizing the long-term running of the device. Besides, the method can combine the residual oil hydrotreating and catalytic cracking more effectively and has better implementation effect.

A change of direction machine provides training for various muscles and body structures of a user. In one embodiment, the machine provides focused training for the muscles and body structures associated with making changes in the body's direction. The machine may comprise a pivoting arm assembly supported by a structure. The arm assembly may be configured to provide a resistance such that when a user engages the arm assembly a downward resistance may be applied to the user. The user may engage the arm assembly with his or her upper body and perform training or exercises involving lifting and lowering the user's body, moving laterally, or both. The machine may have various adjustable components to fit a user and to provide the desired resistance to the user.

A novel group of aminoglycosides which share some structural features of currently available aminoglycosides with regard to the backbone, while also having significant structural differences. The similarity enables these aminoglycosides to be highly potent and effective antibiotics, while the significant differences enable these aminoglycosides to reduce or even block antibiotic resistance.

A tool for telemedicine including an improved breath collection system of human breath to facilitate the analysis of volatile organic components (VOCs) contained in human breath in which breath tests can be performed at remote sites for rapid detection of different diseases. The system can include a standoff breath collection device including an arcuate structure for concentration and analysis of volatile organic components (VOCs) at the point-of-use that avoids the use of mouthpieces found in conventional breath collection apparatuses.

A shock wave in a gas is modified by emitting energy to form an extended path in the gas; heating gas along the path to form a volume of heated gas expanding outwardly from the path; and directing a path. The volume of heated gas passes through the shock wave and modifies the shock wave. This eliminates or reduces a pressure difference between gas on opposite sides of the shock wave. Electromagnetic, microwaves and/or electric discharge can be used to heat the gas along the path. This application has uses in reducing the drag on a body passing through the gas, noise reduction, controlling amount of gas into a propulsion system, and steering a body through the gas. An apparatus is also disclosed.

The invention discloses a high-efficiency continuous casting method of controllable structure-controllable closed cell foam aluminum ingot, belonging to the technical field of continuous porous metal preparation. According to the method, the decomposition control on a foaming agent in a melting body is realized by changing the treatment means of the foaming agent, the continuous production not only greatly improves the production efficiency but also solves the problem of bubble-free layers during static casting, and the continuous production of the closed cell foam aluminum ingot is achieved by controlling the casting temperature, the casting speed and the cooling intensity in a continuous casting process; the sizes and the shapes of bubbles in an aluminum substrate are controlled by adding foaming agents which have different types, different additive amounts and different particle sizes and are subjected to different pretreatments, and a control method of the porous structure is relatively high in realizability and relatively meets the requirements on the product diversity in actual application. The method is simple in process and low in cost, achieves the continuous casting, greatly improves the production efficiency, relatively meets the industrialized requirements and can be used for efficiently and continuously preparing large-sized closed cell foam aluminum ingot.

Robotic customer service agents are provided such that, when properly authenticated, they are operable to perform a customer service task. A contact center may dispatch a robot, an accessory for a customer-owned robot, or instructions to transform an unconfigured robot, such as a generic robot, into a configured robot operable to perform the task. If the robot, such as the base or entire robot, robot at the service location, an associated user, hardware addition, and/or software addition is authentic, then the robot may be operated in an authenticated mode. If non-authenticated, then the robot may operate in a non-authenticated mode, such as one consisting of one or more tasks or features being disabled. Additionally, authentication may be temporary (e.g., time restricted) or event restricted (e.g., as long as a result stays within a given range, the robot is being observed, etc.).
