In a process for the reduction of sulphur content in a FCC gasoline comprising the steps of: fractionation of the FCC gasoline into three fractions: a light fraction comprising 50-80% of the FCC gasoline, an intermediate boiling fraction comprising 10-30% of the FCC gasoline, and a heavy fraction comprising 5-20% of the FCC gasoline; hydrotreating of the heaviest fraction in the first bed of a hyd...

Message passing is suitably performed even if there are a plurality of server objects, and even if a processing request is received and a processing result is returned by different server object. When sending a message from a client object to a server object, a data area for storing a result of processing executed by the server object is reserved. In executing the processing by the server object, ...

A process for the preparation of a lower alkyl ester of 3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-en-1-yl)- 2,2-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid where lower alkyl means alkyl of up to four carbon atoms which comprises the steps of (a) reacting a compound of formula: CF3-CXCl-CH(OH)-CH=C(CH3)2 wherein X is chloro or bromo, with a tri-lower-alkyl orthoacetate containing up to four carbon atoms in each a...

The invention relates to a method for setting up a data transmission connection which is formed for transmitting information between at least a first communication device (1, 6-15, 300a, 300b, 400, 401) and a second communication device (1, 6-15, 300a, 300b, 400, 401), in which method, for at least the first communication device (1, 6-15, 300a, 300b, 400, 401), a network address (321a, 321b) is se...

The invention relates to an aerated flooring system for use in athletic arenas or gymnasiums. The flooring system includes a top layer that provides a surface for the activities to be conducted on the floor. The system also includes at least one ventilation device. The ventilation device covers an air flow shaft within the flooring system, helping to prevent debris from falling in the air flow sha...

The invention concerns a process for treatment of faces that contain chromium or aluminum in a paper/board machine or in a finishing machine. A fluorine compound of low surface energy is applied onto the face, which compound is made to adhere to the chromium or aluminum atoms in the face.

Methods of considering bandwidth load or load balancing in the selection of an optimal path for routing calls through a switched digital network are described. The described methods are applicable to both new calls and existing connected calls. Algorithms that take into consideration selection criteria such as route cost, number of link hops in the route in addition to bandwidth load are presented...

The present invention is a method for outputting larger bit size pseudo-random number z; that is cryptographically secure. Since larger bit size pseudorandom numbers are being outputted, larger bit size segments of messages may be encrypted resulting in a speedier encryption process than encryption processes of the prior art. In one embodiment, the present invention is a pseudo-random number gener...

An image processing apparatus capable of performing flexible, high speed processing, wherein a memory region emptied due to a change of display resolution can be used as a texture memory, increase of an overhead such as switching pages can be prevented, and a decline in the performance is not caused. A built-in DRAM inside a semiconductor chip has a configuration for storing display data and the t...

The invention relates to a procedure as well as a device for introducing an endoprosthesis into the distal end of a catheter by means of which the endoprosthesis is introduced into a vessel for implantation therein and is released to undergo self expansion by moving the tip of a catheter axially relative to the distal end of an outer catheter. An embodiment of the proposed device comprises a hollo...

A brain capillary endothelial cell line having the ability of expressing Na+ independent glucose transport carrier (GLUT-1) and/or P-glycoprotein (mdr1a gene product); and an astrocyte cell line which improves the ability of expressing GLUT-1 of the brain capillary endothelial cell by co-culturing with the brain capillary endothelial cell of the above cell line.

The invention provides a gas turbine combined cycle structured such that an intermediate cooling device for cooling a compression air discharged from a low pressure compressor so as to reduce a load of a high pressure compressor is provided. The gas turbine combined cycle in accordance with the invention is structured such as to branch a condensed water circulated to a steam generating device for ...

A piece (4) with a regular hexagon shape is cut from the log and then a section is cut out from this piece along a first saw line (7) extending at right angles to and intersecting with two sides of the hexagon, dividing the piece in two. At least one further saw line (16) extending in the length direction of the half piece at right angles to one of its is used to remove a further section (18).

The bed comprises a separate, specially profiled bed plate (1) associated with the bearing housing.

The reduced transparency or opaque areas covering at least part of the sensor surface (9) facing the free end (6) of the optical fibre element (2) are designed so that the accelerometer has different sensitivities in different acceleration directions. A flexible optical fibre element is clamped in a fastener (3) at one end and its opposite free end faces a light-sensitive sensor.
