Methods for making higher value products from sulfur containing crude oil

A process for upgrading, or refining, high sulfur containing heavy hydrocarbon crude oil to a lighter oil having a lower sulfur concentration and, hence a higher value product, is disclosed. The process includes reacting the high sulfur heavy hydrocarbon crude oil in the presence of a catalyst and low pressure hydrogen to produce a reaction product stream from which the light oil is recovered. Part of the reaction product is separated and subjected to further upgrading to produce a lower sulfur oil product for application as distillate fuels. The upgrading process also produces residual oil that is suitable for making olefins, carbon fiber or road asphalt. Catalysts utilized in the processes of the invention can include a transition metal containing compound, the metal being selected from Group V, Group VI, and Group VIII of the Periodic Table, and mixtures of these metals.

Methods and apparatus for expelling a projectile

Some embodiments are directed to a tool arranged to at least partially expel a projectile. The tool includes a housing having a primary axis, and, at least partially enclosed within the housing, a firing mechanism and a projectile arranged to be at least partially expelled from the housing in a direction parallel to the primary axis on actuation of the firing mechanism. The firing mechanism includes a chemical propellant and at least two moveable components, both of the components being moveable in a direction parallel to the primary axis within the housing. The chemical propellant is arranged such that, when activated, the gases created thereby act to expel the projectile, and the moveable components are arranged such that displacement of both components from a rest position is required to activate the propellant, and the components are moveable in response to a force applied directly along the primary axis.

Shear Pin Activated Overhead Sign Bracket

A sign bracket for over-road highway signs and other signs. The bracket comprised of a first assembly attached to the sign and a second assembly attached to a support structure. A shear pin is provided to prevent relative movement between the first assembly and second assembly in its normal state. When sufficient pressure is exerted on the sign torque is imparted onto the first assembly relative to the second assembly and the shear pin shears and the first assembly is freed to rotate approximately ninety degrees in either direction to relative to the torque. The sign is essentially laid flat either face up from wind force striking the face of the sign or face down from wind striking the rear of the sign. When the sign is laid flat it produces substantially reduced wind resistance and the support structure remains intact. The sign may then easily re-erected by insertion of a new shear pin.
