Zeolites washed with aqueous solutions or water to exhibit pH in the range of 9.4 to 10.0 and preferably 9.6 to 10.0 which can be converted to reforming catalysts with enhanced activity, selectivity and activity maintenance. Also processes for washing the zeolite to the target pH range and processes for using catalysts made with the washed zeolite to reform naphtha feeds.

PURPOSE:To eliminate the need for using a polarized beam splitter or the like and to obtain an extremely compact and inexpensive Faraday rotator by integral ly forming a diffraction grating at least on one end face of the Faraday rotator. CONSTITUTION:The Faraday rotor 1 integrated with the polarizer forms the diffraction grating 3 integrally with one end face of the Faraday rotor 2. When the diff...

When digital audio data is input, the data is temporarily stored in a ring buffer memory. A clock generator adjusts an output transfer clock cycle so that the difference between the count of an address counter for writing data and the count of an address counter for reading data always falls within a predetermined range. An input rate calculating circuit calculates an average transfer rate at whic...

PURPOSE:To prevent lining from uneven wear when one of a plurality of pistons urging the lining of a brake pad against a disk plate is operated. CONSTITUTION:Lining 16b attached to a back plate 16a of a brake pad 16 is separated into two, and a recess 26 or gap corresponding to the position of a central piston 21 of three pistons 20, 21, 22 is formed between both lining 16a. When the central pisto...

PURPOSE:To make the alternating current loss small by coating highly pure A with an A alloy and further coating the whole body with Cu or a Cu alloy. CONSTITUTION:A highly pure A 22 is inserted into an Al-Mg-Mn-Cr alloy 21 and extruded to form the composite into a hexagonal shape. Then, the resulting body is inserted into an oxygen free copper tube 24 and then extruded. The number of dividing is l...

PURPOSE:To prevent the chemical reaction between a solid electrolyte and an oxide superconductor in the method for controlling the oxygen concn. in the oxide superconductor by electrolysis by providing an intermediate layer permeable to the oxygen ion between the electrolyte and superconductor. CONSTITUTION:An oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte 1, an intermediate layer 2 permeable to oxygen i...

In a method for producing an odor-free metallic pigment composition, a metallic pigment is ground by a wet process. The pigment is then mixed into a molten thermoplastic resin to vaporize any additives in the metallic pigment by the heat of the resin. The pigment may be dried until its solid content becomes 50-99 percent by weight before mixing into the molten thermoplastic resin.

A block of picture elements is DCT transformed and coded to produce a corresponding data block of variable length codewords having an average length. The data blocks are apportioned among fixed length transport blocks as needed to produce full transport blocks. The transport blocks include a direct (DC) component and alternating components at prescribed locations, as well as an address information...

Correlation device calculating a correlation between a current block of a first image and symbol blocks taken from a second image to determine the displacement vectors. Selection means (26) (27) select a limited number of symbols contained in the said blocks to which the correlation calculation relates. This selection can be effected by either a random choice or as a function of the data content o...

1. A method of contrast enhanced MR angiography of the human or non-human animal body, said method comprising administering into the vasculature thereof a contrast effective amount of a contrast agent composition comprising magnetic particles measured at 0.5 T and at 37 degree C, having a r2/r1 ratio of no more than 5, and at a time when sufficient of said magnetic particles remain in the vascula...
