US Patent:

8360379, Jan 29, 2013

Filed:

Jul 16, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/356771

Inventors:

Joseph E. Porcelli - Merrick NY, US

International Classification:

A47K 1/08

US Classification:

2483112, 248313, 224926

Abstract:

A beverage container holder for holding round or rectangular containers is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the holder is a unitary plastic structure which includes a lower rectangular container holding portion and an upper hook portion for hanging the holder onto another structure. The holding portion includes a plurality of resilient inwardly extending fingers, each of which assumes a generally V-shaped configuration when viewed in a vertical plane. According to a second embodiment, the holder includes an upper tray portion having a pair of side-by-side square openings, each having a plurality of inward extending resilient fingers, and a generally U-shaped supporting member which is pivotally attached to the tray portion. The supporting member is rotatable from a first position wherein it is retained within the tray portion to a second position wherein it is substantially perpendicular to the tray portion. When the supporting member is in the first position, the holder may re retracted into a rectangular pocket.

Appl. No.:

5/445163

Inventors:

Michael Siskin - Maplewood NJ
Joseph J. Porcelli - Scotch Plains NJ

Assignee:

Exxon Research and Engineering Company - Linden NJ

International Classification:

C07C 528
C10G 3506

US Classification:

208134

Abstract:

Acyclic and alicyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons are isomerized by contacting the same with hydrogen in the presence of a difficultly reduceable metal halide in combination with at least a molar equivalent of hydrogen halide. The preferred catalyst system is tantalum pentafluoride, niobium pentafluoride or their mixtures in combination with at least a five-fold molar excess of hydrogen fluoride.

US Classification:

26068351

Abstract:

High octane alkylates are prepared by selectively alkylating paraffinic hydrocarbons with a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of paraffins and olefins at alkylation conditions in the presence of hydrogen and of a catalyst comprising (a) one or more Lewis acids of the formula MX. sub. n where M is selected from the Group IIIA, IVB, V or VIB elements of the Periodic Table, X is a halogen, n is the ratio of halogen atoms to atoms of M and varies from 1-8, and (b) a hydrogen halide.

International Classification:

C07C 900

US Classification:

260676R

Abstract:

High octane alkylates are prepared by selectively alkylating paraffinic hydrocarbons with other paraffinic hydrocarbons at alkylation conditions in the presence of hydrogen and of a catalyst comprising a metal pentafluoride selected from the group consisting of tantalum pentafluoride, niobium pentafluoride and mixtures thereof and a hydrogen halide. The product obtained is a mixture containing primarily C. sub. 4 -C. sub. 6 isomerized paraffins.

Abstract:

A bioreactor, motionless mixing element with attached cells, and method for the enhanced cultivation and propagation of cells in a bioreactor method, and which bioreactor comprises a housing and contains within the housing a motionless mixing element, the attachment of cells to the mixing element and a nutrient composition permitting the cell growth and division of the attached cells, and which motionless mixing element and the method and bioreactor comprise a porous, fibrous sheet material; for example, of a corrugated or knitted, woven wire material, such as stainless steel or titanium, and of selected dimensions as to the fiber diameter and height, to provide a maximum surface area for the attachment of the cells to be cultivated, with the ratio of the fibrous, geometric surface area of the porous, fibrous sheet material to that of a sheet material of the same shape being greater than about 1. 0; for example, 1. 5, and typically, for example, having a surface area for cell growth of about 2000 to 3000 M. sup. 2 /M. sup. 3.
