Filed:

Feb 10, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/055341

Inventors:

Steven Cole - Lombard IL, US
Ravi Voruganti - Barrington IL, US
Wing Ng - Hong Kong, CN
Kam Cheung - Markham, CA

International Classification:

H02J007/00

US Classification:

320114000

Abstract:

An audio power unit is disclosed which provides an audio output and charges removable battery packs as well as providing a number of AC receptacles for powering other tools and the like when the unit is connected to a source of AC power. The unit can optionally also provide DC power. When the unit is connected to a source of AC power, the AC power drives the audio unit which may be a radio or a combination radio and CD player and the AC source also powers a charger which recharges a battery pack if a battery pack is inserted into the charger receptacle. If the unit is not connected to a source of AC power, the radio may be powered by a battery pack when it is placed in the charger receptacle. When the unit is connected to a source of AC power, a relay is opened to isolate the radio unit from the charger and battery pack. The unit has a unique protective frame structure that is connected to the housing of the unit.

Inventors:

Steven Cole - Lombard IL, US
Richard Gray - Chicago IL, US

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320107000

Abstract:

A preferred embodiment of portable lunchbox equipment that is particularly useful at construction and other jobsites is disclosed which provides important desirable features and functionality comprising a housing, at least one charger for charging a removable battery pack, an audio unit for producing an audio signal, a heating unit, an insulated compartment, a cooling unit for the compartment, a cord and plug for connecting said apparatus to a source of AC power, and circuitry for selectively applying power to the audio unit, the charger and the heating unit.

US Patent:

47359293, Apr 5, 1988

Filed:

Nov 18, 1986

Appl. No.:

6/932113

Inventors:

Steve T. Bakas - Chicago Ridge IL
Steven W. Cole - Brookfield IL

Assignee:

UOP Inc. - Des Plaines IL

International Classification:

B01J 2920

US Classification:

502 66

Abstract:

Superior isomerization performance is obtained with a catalytic composition comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a hydrogen form mordenite incorporated with alumina. The superior performance is a direct result of the catalyst composition having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g. A novel method of preparing an isomerization catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g is characterized by contacting a formed catalytic composite with an acidic aqueous solution prior to addition of the Group VIII noble metal.

Abstract:

Superior isomerization performance is obtained with a catalytic composite comprising a Group VIII noble metal and a hydrogen-form crystalline alumino-silicate incorporated with a refractory inorganic oxide. The superior performance is a direct result of the catalyst composite having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g. A novel method of preparing an isomerization catalyst having a surface area of at least 580 m. sup. 2 /g is presented, along with a novel process for the isomerization of isomerizable hydrocarbons.
