Abstract:

An apparatus for wrapping hair with a cord is provided and includes a housing; a main spindle operatively coupled to the housing and defining a main spindle bore for receiving cord and hair; a rotatable spool carrier and at least one spool. The spool carrier has a platform and a drive spindle operatively coupled to the main spindle so that rotation of the main spindle is translated into rotation of the platform. The drive spindle has guides for receiving cord and permitting the cord to be disposed through a bore extending through the drive spindle. The rotation of the main spindle causes cord to be dispensed through the one guide and the drive spindle bore and the main spindle bore, hair is disposed through the drive spindle bore and the main spindle bore, and the main spindle is rotated to wrap the hair with cord.

International Classification:

A61H015/00

US Classification:

601113000, 601129000, 601131000

Abstract:

An apparatus for applying massage, accupressure and biomagnetic therapy to a subject is provided and the apparatus includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end; a motor disposed within the housing and having a shaft; and a magnet disposed within the housing about the shaft. The apparatus further includes a rotor rotatably supported by the shaft at the distal end of the housing. The rotor has an exterior face which is remote from the magnet and which defines a plurality of entrances, an opposing interior face proximate to the magnet, and a seat more proximate to the magnet than the interior face which is in communication with each of the entrances. Each seat is affixed relative to the rotor at one or more locations proximal to the exterior face. A plurality of metal balls are provided and which are seatable against the seat and retained within the entrances of the rotor by a magnetic field emanating from the magnet. Each ball has a center and is universally rotatable about its center. The seat is constructed and positioned so that it precludes contact of the metal balls with the magnet and counters forces applied to the balls when the apparatus applies therapy to the subject.

International Classification:

C10G 6500

US Classification:

208 59

Abstract:

A hydroprocessing process includes a cocurrent flow liquid reaction stage, a countercurrent flow liquid reaction stage and a vapor reaction stage in which feed components are catalytically hydroprocessed by reacting with hydrogen. Both liquid stages both produce a liquid and a vapor effluent, with the cocurrent stage liquid effluent the feed for the countercurrent stage and the countercurrent stage liquid effluent the hydroprocessed product liquid. Both liquid stage vapor effluents are combined and catalytically reacted with hydrogen in a vapor reaction stage, to form a hydroprocessed vapor. This vapor is cooled to condense and recover a portion of the hydroprocessed hydrocarbonaceous vapor components as additional product liquid. The uncondensed vapor is rich in hydrogen and is cleaned up if necessary, to remove contaminants, and then recycled back into the cocurrent stage as hydrogen-containing treat gas. Fresh hydrogen is introduced into the countercurrent stage and the countercurrent stage effluent contains sufficient, and preferably all of the hydrogen for the vapor stage reaction.

Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Company - Florham Park NJ

International Classification:

C10G 4500

US Classification:

208 89

Abstract:

Hydrocarbonaceous feedstocks admixed with a flow-through catalyst and hydrogen are hydroprocessed in a hydroprocessing reactor containing a captive hydroprocessing catalyst. The flow-through catalyst is continually withdrawn with the hydroprocessed feed from the hydroprocessing reactor. The flow-through catalyst may be an FCC, hydrocracking, isomerization or ring-opening catalyst. In a preferred embodiment, the captive hydroprocessing catalyst contains Co, Ni and/or Mo on an alumina base and the flow-through catalyst is an FCC zeolitic catalyst which is withdrawn with the hydroprocessed feed from the hydroprocessing reactor and then sent to an FCC unit.

International Classification:

C10G 6902
C10G 6904

US Classification:

208 76

Abstract:

Disclosed is a catalytic cracking process that includes more than one catalytic cracking reaction step. The process integrates catalytic cracking steps with hydroprocessing in order to maximize olefins production, distillate quality and octane level of the overall cracked product. Preferably, one hydroprocessing step is included between the cat cracking reaction steps, and a portion of the hydroprocessed products, i. e. , a naphtha and mid distillate fraction, is combined with cracked product for further separation and hydroprocessing. It is also preferred that the first catalytic cracking reaction step be a short contact time reaction step.

International Classification:

B01J 804

US Classification:

422191

Abstract:

A reaction vessel for processing liquid petroleum or chemical streams wherein the stream flows countercurrent to the flow of a treat gas, such as a hydrogen-containing gas, in at least one interaction zone. The reaction vessel contains vapor, and optionally liquid, passageways to bypass one or more packed beds, preferably catalyst beds. This permits more stable and efficient vessel operation.

Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Co. - Florham Park NJ

International Classification:

C10G 4502

US Classification:

208210

Abstract:

A hydroprocessing process includes two hydroprocessing reaction stages, both of which produce a liquid and a vapor effluent, and a liquid-vapor contacting stage. The first stage vapor effluent contains impurities, such as heteroatom compounds, which are removed from the vapor by contact with processed liquid effluent derived from one or both reaction stages and, optionally, also liquid recovered from processed vapor. The first and contact stage liquid effluents are passed into the second stage to finish the hydoprocessing. The contact and second stage vapor effluents are cooled to recover additional hydroprocessed product liquid.
