Assignee:

Howe-Baker Engineers, Ltd. - Houston TX

International Classification:

F25J003/00

US Classification:

62620, 62631

Abstract:

A process for the recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) (ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene and heavier hydrocarbons) from liquefied natural gas (LNG) is disclosed. The LNG feed stream is split with at least one portion used as an external reflux, without prior treatment, to improve the separation and recovery of the natural gas liquids (NGL).

International Classification:

F25J 1/00
F25J 3/00

US Classification:

62614, 62620, 62630

Abstract:

A process for the recovery of natural gas liquids (NGL) from liquefied natural gas (LNG) is disclosed. The LNG feed stream is subjected to a two stage separation process where the bottoms from the first stage separation containing C+ hydrocarbons is split into two portions, with one portion being heated and used as a reflux during the second stage separation to recover the NGL product.

Scott T. Schroeder - Littleton CO

International Classification:

A63C 1700

US Classification:

280 1128

Abstract:

A footgear suspension device for a skate utilizing wheels or another surface contacting means such as skis or shoe soles mounted on swingarms. Movable swingarms may range in size, shape, composition, or length. The footgear suspension device chassis may consist of pivots, swingarms, linkage pieces and energy absorbing devices. Pivots may allow swingarms to rotate or swing. Energy absorbing devices may be hydraulic or spring loaded or other means and may dampen swingarm motion. Some embodiments of the footgear suspension device may contain a surface contacting means integral with the footgear suspension device. Other embodiments may contain a footgear suspension device built directly into the user's footwear, and some embodiments of the footgear suspension device may utilize adjustable and releasable boot bindings. The footgear suspension device may be an integral piece of a ski or skate or bindings and may also integrally contain energy absorbing devices. The footgear suspension device may be used where a human being may require or benefit from the mechanical advantage provided by the footgear suspension device.
