This invention concerns a process for making alkanols which comprises contacting a mixture of CO and H2 at a pressure of 500 psig or greater and at a temperature of at least 150 DEG C. with a catalyst system comprising a ruthenium-containing compound and a halogen-free titanium or zirconium-containing compound dispersed in a low melting quaternary phosphonium or ammonium base or salt.

1399390 Hydrocracking; reforming UNIVERSAL OIL PRODUCTS CO 27 Oct 1972 [29 Oct 1971] 49634/72 Heading C5E [Also in Division B1] In a hydrocarbon conversion process wherein catalyst is periodically removed from the reaction zone for regenration, the catalyst is purged prior to regeneration to remove volatile materials, e.g. hydrocarbons such as naphtha or hydrogen, by (i) passing into a purging zon...

PURPOSE:To connect a fluid stirrer to a rotating shaft of a wind mill, and communicate said fluid stirrer with a tank through a fluid pump, thereby improving the durability of the device. CONSTITUTION:When a wind mill 8 is rotated by a wind force, a pump 3 is rotated by means of a rotating shaft 5. Water supplied through a water inlet 6 to a fluid stirrer 1 by means of a fluid pump is stirred betw...

A hydraulic control system for use in an automatic transmission including a fluid coupling type torque converter, and a gear system provided with two or more frictional engaging devices adapted to establish two or more speed conditions. The hydraulic system further includes a hydraulic pressure source, a line pressure control valve for supplying a regulated line pressure, by receiving a hydraulic ...

PURPOSE:To prevent surely penetrating of air into the oil path, connecting an oil path to the accumulator back pressure chamber to the hydraulic power source through a throttle means and enabling to connect selectively to the drain path from the throttle means on the back pressure chamber side.

Method of joining textile threads by means of an apparatus having a vortex chamber formed with an elongated slot for introducing therein threads that are to be joined, the threads being insertable into the vortex chamber adjacent one another and being held by clamping devices outside the vortex chamber, the threads being twistable together in the vortex chamber by compressed air supplied thereto a...

A ski safety binding of the type which is convertible between downhill and touring configurations comprises a base plate connectable to a ski via a safety release mechanism and a sole plate, to which a ski boot can be fastened, which is arranged for pivotal movement about a transverse pivot axis located adjacent the toe of the ski boot on the base plate to define the touring configuration. At leas...

Safety ski binding apparatus including a ski plate fixedly securable to a ski, a boot plate detachably securable to a ski boot by way of securing means, resilient connecting means connecting the ski and boot plates to one another while permitting relative movement of said plates about a plurality of mutually perpendicular axes, and signal means interposed for producing a single signal representati...
