First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

"Too much force!" AGNTSA!Too much force is only relevant in a fight beewetn two drunks in a barfight. Factor in disparity in size beewetn the aggressor and the victim, the purpose for which each entered the street before the "encounter", the element of surprise, particularly if the encounter takes place in single digit hours of the night in ones home after the resident was woken up by the party of the first part, and it is hard, absent some ideological desire to see martyrs among other people, to condemn any force multiplier used by the defender. Waaaaaaay back in 1978, in a classic case of victim misidentification, a mugger in NYFC sued his erstwhile victim for "excessive use of force" for hurting him while resisting his freelance efforts at wealth redistribution. That action hit the LA Times, but nothing after that (of course).

Historical Traveler Reviews Lighthouse Inn Crescent City
New, clean, great service, hard bed
We booked our room a month in advance and spoke to Pleiades, a charming, friendly, and professional gentleman. When we checked in, we were greeted by Michael, who was all of those things, too. We stayed in room 323, a short climb up the stairs. (The elevator was broken.) The room was immaculate, had a king bed and a nice view of the shoreline. Unfortunately for us, the bed was very, very firm and so were the pillows; that made it a challenge to fall asleep.
The continental breakfast was adequate and pleasant.
We ate dinner at the restaurant next door, which Michael recommended and which is part of another motel. The food was mediocre and the service friendly but slow, probably because the place was packed for the 4th of July weekend. We were craving clam chowder and were disappointed that they don't serve it, given the other seafood dishes on the menu and that Crescent City is famous for seafood (Dungeness crabs).
Would we stay here again? Maybe. We'd definely specify a softer bed and dine elsewhere!
Hard boiled eggs
This is the best hotel ever. CLEAN like brand new. Hard boiled eggs were great for breakfast with fresh donuts and cinimin rolls not packaged. Jacuzzi for two was sensational. Nothing like this hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea for twice the price.
Rip Off
The clerk sold me a room with a "Fireplace---it was a fake fireplace with light and air-blown paper machet--overcharged for the room. I would avoid this hotel.
Topnotch Hotel
We traveled for 11 weeks last summer. This hotel definitely gets the top award for cleanliness. Quite frankly, we've never seen anything like it. What a treat. The bathroom actually sparkled and how heavenly they put in separate switches for the bathroom lights and the vent. We get so tired of listening the vent from the second you enter a bathroom until you leave. The air conditioner was quiet as well.
Our room was nothing short of spacious. Well placed lighting. Internet connection very good. Nice variety of hot and cold food for breakfast. The entire staff from the front desk clerk to the maids to the people serving breakfast were helpful and friendly.
Way to go Lighthouse Inn. Top Quality for very reasonably rates. Wish more hotels would follow your led.
Neat little hotel
My wife and I spent two nights at the Lighthouse Inn in Crescent City, Ca and we found it a very pleasant experience. The customer service was freindly & efficient. The lobby was good sized and decorated in a nautical theme, and very neat & clean. Our room was above average and very reasonable at the AAA rate of $89.00 per night which included a very nice continental breakfast. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Beautiful hotel with a leather sofa in every room
If you like comfort and cleaniness this is the place to stay in Crescent City. Our room had a leather sofa in it. The lobby is decorated beautifully (lighthouses, dolphins, sea captains) and the hotel staff (even the maid service) were tops! I had asked to look at the room first (something I always do) about the same time the rooms were being inspected by the head maid. I told her I was going to take the room and she said she was going to follow up and make sure everything was in place. The continential breakfast was very good also. Hotel is non-smoking. Another plus!
Loved this hotel
We really loved this hotel. The front desk clerk was very friendly. This hotel has been decorated by somebody who cares, my daughters loved the dollhouse display in the lobby, and the mural on the wall. But the best part was our room, nothing short of HUGE, and very clean too. We also enjoyed the continental breakfast. Not to mention, the rates are reasonable too! I definately recommend this hotel if you're staying in Crescent City.
Best mid-range hotel I've ever stayed in
We had stayed at the Super 8 in Crescent City for a couple of nights, which was ok but not a particularly nice hotel. Then checked out to go camping, and afterwards came back to town looking for something nicer when we noticed the Lighthouse Inn. Well, my 4 year old son likes lighthouses so we were stuck... but in a good way.
The place turned out to be BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN, ornately decorated (a bit tacky perhaps, but my son loved it), the rooms are HUGE and fully appointed (which for me means a microwave and a refrigerator), the included breakfast was excellent, the staff helpful and the location great. Did I mention the clean, well-equipped laundry room? One more thing - it's well sound-proofed. Although our room overlooked the main highway (a good thing since we had a view across the highway to the harbor) with the window closed our room was almost silent. And the rates are very reasonable. And it's COMPLETELY NON-SMOKING! You just couldn't ask for more from a mid-range hotel. Why can't more places be like this?
(Well, it doesn't have a pool but during the winter it's too cold to use it anyway and during summer you'll go to the beach or the rivers. So the pool was a reasonable omission.)
Three cheers for Lighthouse Inn
Wow! Great rates. Great staff! Friendly, courteous, and just plain nice. And the rooms are great! Spacious and very clean. The whole place looks brand new. And is completely smoke free. YAY!
I travel quite a bit and have my share of stories to tell, so when I find something as nice as this by golly I'm gonna let somebody know about it. :)
I stopped in for just 2 days but liked it so much I stayed a whole week. Great location. I enjoyed visiting the harbor which is just across the street and had fun watching the sealions before visiting one of the many wonderful restaurants in the area.
Lighthouse Inn in Crescent City, CA is a GREAT place to stay. Keep up the good work!
Great place to stay!
We spent Labor Day weekend 2004 in Crescent City and stayed at 2 different hotels. The Lighthouse Inn is directly across from the harbor. Close enough that you can hear the sea lions barking and the fog horn blowing. You can also hear the traffic as it is on the main road into town. It was nice to be able to walk across the street and over to the docks to watch sunset. The front desk staff was exceptional (Thanks Mimi) and the rates were very reasonable. The room (with King bed) was large, spotless and looked as if they had just remodeled. I would stay here again if my first choice (the Hampton Inn and Suites) was all booked up.

Pat Miletich considering Senate run
Pat Miletich is a legend in mixed martial arts, for crafting the blueprint that the sport has followed since – to reach the highest level of MMA, you have to have diverse skills sufficient in wrestling, BJJ, and striking to hang in the gym with national class players in the respective discipline.
Miletich currently appears on Showtime, ESPN and AXS.TV as a fight commentator, and trains law enforcement officers and military members in combatives.
And now he is considering a run for the United States Senate.
The Quad City Times has the story.
Miletich tweeted last week that people could pencil his name in next year for Senate, adding "Bruce Braley cannot win that seat."
Braley, a Democrat from Waterloo, has said he is running for the seat being vacated by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa.
In an interview Monday, he said he hasn't decided whether he will add "Senate candidate" to his resume but he has been thinking about politics for a couple of years.
"A lot of people are fed up with a lot of things that are happening in the country," he said.
He criticized the influence of special interest, and said he believes in term limits. He also said the government is intruding too much on the private sector and individual rights.
"I'm not a fan of the left, socialist mentality at all," he said.
Miletich is a registered Republican but said it was possible he could run as an independent.
The 47-year-old also left open the possibility he might even run for a local office, such as mayor of Bettendorf. But then he added, "I never think small."

This invention relates to a process for removing impurities from liquid hydrocarbons. More particularly, it relates to a process which utilizes semi-permeable membranes to separate impurities from liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon mixtures.
In the processing of hydrocarbon fluids it is necessary to remove impurities such as carbon dioxide, water, sulfur compounds and other substances from hydrocarbon mixtures. Although various processes have been developed over the years to accomplish this, increased emphasis on less energy intensive processes is causing processes which may have been considered satisfactory in the past to be reexamined. Solvent processes utilizing amines are an example of one approach which is now perceived as requiring too much energy to operate. In addition, disposal of spent aqueous solvents presents an environmental burden.
An energy saving alternative to solvent processes and other processes for removing impurities from liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons is the use of semi-permeable membranes. The theory and use of semi-permeable membranes, also sometimes referred to in the art as permeable membranes, are well known. A feed stream of the hydrocarbon fluid to be treated is caused to contact, at elevated pressure, a membrane designed to selectively permit specific materials to pass through by diffusion. When the partial pressure of the material in question is sufficiently greater in the feed stream than on the permeate side of the membrane, permeation flux of the material to the lower partial pressure takes place. A problem arises when valuable hydrocarbons are lost in the permeate. In such cases a compressor is normally employed to capture or recycle the permeate or to repressurize the permeate for a second stage of permeation. In other cases, it is necessary to use vacuum pumps or compressors to produce sufficient driving force to effect the separation economically, or at all. Such arrangements substantially increase the capital cost of the process as well as the operating expense.
It would be beneficial to be able to eliminate the need for a compressor in the system, thereby reducing the costs mentioned above. It would also be beneficial to reduce costs by making the primary membrane smaller, without impairing the efficiency and effectiveness of the process.
A process for separating gaseous impurities from a liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon mixture employs a membrane which is selectively permeable to the impurities desired to be separated from the mixture, with a flowing stream of the liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons contacting one side of the membrane. The impurities that permeate through to the other side of the membrane are purged by a stream of sweep gas flowing either countercurrent or crosscurrent to the direction of flow of the liquid hydrocarbon mixture to be purified. The stream of sweep gas dilutes the impurities on the permeate side of the membrane, at the same time reducing the partial pressure of the impurities, to thereby increase the driving force of the impurities across the membrane. The partial pressure of the impurities is decreased even though the use of sweep gas in this process causes and allows the total permeate back pressure on the permeable membrane to be increased.
In order to sufficiently reduce the partial pressure on the permeate side of the membrane to compensate for the higher total permeate pressure obtained, the ratio of the molar flow rate of the sweep gas to the molar permeation rate of the impurity removed from the hydrocarbon mixture depends on the pressure at which the permeate must be delivered, but typically should be at least 2 to 1. This ratio may be higher than 3 to 1 if there is a requirement such as for plant fuel to be supplied at pressures greater than 60 psig. The driving force for removal of the impurities is augmented despite the fact that the total permeate pressure is able to be increased to such an extent by this method that the need for a compressor in the fluid system is negated.
The membrane arrangement may be of any suitable design, so long as it allows the process to function in the manner described. For example, the membrane may be in the form of a plurality of cylinders or hollow fibers, with the space within the fibers receiving the sweep gas and permeate and the space between the exterior of the fibers and the wall of the container in which the membrane fibers are mounted receiving the hydrocarbon. In the foregoing arrangement the hollow fibers can be aligned substantially parallel to the direction of flow of the hydrocarbon mixture to be purified or transverse to the direction of flow.
Another alternative membrane arrangement utilizes spirally wrapped sheets of semi-permeable membrane . interleaved with alternating spacers to permit the flow of permeate on one side of a membrane sheet and the hydrocarbon to be purified on the other side. As explained more fully below, the construction of spirally wrapped membranes can be modified to facilitate the use of the sweep gas in this process in order to eliminate the need for a compressor without resorting to wasteful venting or flaring of the permeate.
Because the process permits removal of impurities by a membrane without employing a compressor or additional stages of impurity removal, the capital cost of the system is significantly reduced. By utilizing fuel gas as the sweep gas and introducing the mixture of the permeate and the sweep gas into the fuel system of the plant, the operating cost is further significantly reduced.
These benefits and the features of the invention which provide them are brought out in more detail in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, wherein the above and other aspects of the invention, as well as other benefits, will readily be apparent.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of another type of membrane unit in a similar system to that of FIG. 1, arranged so that countercurrent rather than crossflow extraction may occur;

Referring to FIG. 1, a membrane unit 10 is comprised of a cylindrical shell or container 12 in which a plurality of hollow fiber membranes 14 are mounted so as to extend longitudinally in the shell. An end wall 16 of the shell includes an inlet tube 1B to which a feed conduit 20 leading from a source 22 of hydrocarbons is connected by suitable means. The inlet tube 18 contains perforations 23 throughout its length and is sealed at the opposite end 24 so as to distribute hydrocarbon into the center of the bundle of hollow fiber membranes. The hydrocarbons typically include impurities, such as carbon dioxide, water, sulfur or others which it is desired to remove. The bundle of fibers is wrapped by a porous covering 25 through which fluid can flow and which prevents shifting of the fibers in the bundle. An outlet 26 in the container 12 is open to the annular space between the container wall and the porous covering 25 to provide an outlet for treated or purified hydrocarbon products. The treated hydrocarbon product is directed to another station 27 through fluid line 28 which is connected to the outlet 26. An alternate outlet 29, which is shown as being capped, may be used as a drain if desired.
The end wall 30 is provided with an inlet 31 which leads to the header space between the end wall 30 and disc 32, and the end wall 16 contains an outlet 33 leading from the header space between the end wall 16 and the disc 34. The disc 32 holds the ends of the hollow fibers 14 so that their open ends communicate with their associated header space, while the disc 34 holds the other ends of the fibers so that their open ends communicate with their associated header space. A conduit 35 connects the inlet 31 to a conduit 36 leading from a source 38 of pressurized fuel gas, enabling fuel gas to flow inside the hollow fibers 14, sweeping along the permeated impurities. A conduit 40 connects the outlet 33 to the conduit 36 downstream from the conduit 35. A valve 42 located in the line 36 upstream from the conduit 35 is controlled by a conventional pressure controller 44, which is set to maintain the pressure in the line at a predetermined level. A similar arrangement is provided downstream of the conduit 35 but upstream of the conduit 40, whereby a valve 46 maintains a predetermined lesser pressure at that point in accordance with the operation of the pressure controller 48. As illustrated, the conduit 36 leads to the fuel system 50 of the plant in which the treatment process is located.
In operation, a mixture of hydrocarbons and impurities is delivered to the container 12 through the feed inlet 18. The hydrocarbon mixture flows continuously through the perforations 3 and through the container, exiting through the outlet 26. While flowing through the container the hydrocarbon stream contacts the bundle of hollow fiber membranes 14 in radial cross-flow, permitting certain impurities in the stream to diffuse through the membrane wall. The theory and action of this selective permeation is well known in the art of so-called permeable or semi-permeable membranes and need not be described in more detail here. It should be understood that membranes or membrane modules which are designed to permit passage therethrough of the specific impurities normally desired to be removed from hydrocarbon substances are readily commercially available and need not be newly developed for use in carrying out this invention. Suitable membranes are available, for example, from Cynara Corporation of Houston, Tex. It will also be understood that even membranes specifically designed and selected to permit only certain gaseous ingredients of an impure hydrocarbon stream to permeate the membrane will nonetheless permit small amounts of liquid hydrocarbon to pass through in vapor form. While these amounts are small with respect to the volume of hydrocarbons in the product stream, they can be substantial in total amount if the volume of the stream passing through the membrane unit per unit of time is large.
Rather than simply vent the impurities (and hydrocarbon) or collect them from the permeate side of the membrane using a compressor or vacuum pump, as is typically done, fuel gas is supplied under pressure through the inlet 31 and removed through the outlet 33. In doing this, the valve 46 may be set to the minimum required plant fuel system pressure, while the upstream valve 42 is set to a higher pressure so as to regulate the flow of the fuel gas sweep across the membrane unit.
The introduction of sweep gas into the space within the membrane increases the back pressure on the permeate side of the membrane, which would normally be thought to be counterproductive to the passage of impurities from the hydrocarbon mixture through the membrane. In fact, however, the dilution of the permeate gases by the sweep gas actually reduces the partial pressure of the permeate constituents so that the difference in partial pressure from the feed side of the membrane to the permeate side is increased. The result of this is that the overall driving force, and hence the flux across the membrane, is increased significantly for the impurities but changed to a much lesser proportion for the hydrocarbon. Additionally, as the ratio of the molar flow rate of the sweep gas to the molar permeation rate of the impurities removed is increased, the partial pressure on the permeate side of the membrane is further reduced, thereby causing a greater driving force and permeation flux. Because the flux of the impurity is increased, the membrane area required for a given removal rate may be significantly reduced. Because the membrane area is reduced, however, the unwanted flux of the hydrocarbon liquid is also partially reduced, because the driving force for the hydrocarbon is not significantly changed. Thus, selectivity for the removal of the impurity is improved to an unexpected extent. Using this process, a separation as good as or better than the conventional process can be obtained with a reduced capital investment and operating expense due to the smaller membrane surface area and also due to elimination of a compressor. As stated previously, in order to sufficiently reduce the partial pressure on the permeate side of the membrane to compensate for the higher total permeate pressure obtained, the ratio of the molar flow rate of the sweep gas to the molar permeation rate of the impurity removed from the hydrocarbon mixture should be at least 2 to 1.
The phenomenon discussed which results in increased driving force, flux and selectivity can be demonstrated by a comparison of the theoretical driving forces across the membrane for a hypothetical typical liquid hydrocarbon mixture. Theoretical driving forces are calculated from the integral of the difference in partial pressures for a species across the membrane from one end of the device to the other, assuming countercurrent flow. The solution to this integral is the so-called log-mean difference. The figure used in computing the driving forces are illustrated in the following tables, wherein Tables 1A and 1B compare the hypothetical stream rates of a liquid feed, the treated product and the permeate in a conventional membrane unit which does not utilize a purging gas stream, to the hypothetical stream rates of a unit performing the same purification, functioning in accordance with the invention. Tables 2A and 2B compare the hypothetical partial pressures of the components in the stream in a conventional unit to the hypothetical partial pressures of the components in the stream in a unit which functions in accordance with the present invention.

The theoretical driving forces for components C2 and CO2 as calculated as the log-mean partial pressure differences from the above figures are approximately 919 psia and 60 psia, respectively.

The theoretical log-mean partial pressure difference driving forces for the product hydrocarbon and CO2 as computed from the above figures are approximately 912 psia and 67 psia, respectively. Thus the driving force for the removal of CO2 was increased by approximately 12%, while the driving force causing the loss of C2 in the product hydrocarbon was not appreciably changed (but in fact, actually decreased by 1% in this example due to the reverse permeation of a small amount of methane). As mentioned above, as the ratio of molar flow rate of the fuel gas sweep to the molar permeation rate of the impurity removed from the hydrocarbon product mixture is still further increased, the partial pressure on the permeate side of the membrane is further reduced, causing a greater impurity driving force and permeation flux without significantly affecting the hydrocarbon product permeation driving force.
This process is particularly applicable to the use of hollow fiber membranes since the conventional hollow fiber membrane unit need only be modified slightly or not at all to carry out the process.
In normal situations where appreciable partial pressure driving forces are maintained across the membrane, the cross-flow geometrical configuration driving force differs from the true theoretical countercurrent driving force by less than a few percent. However, in cases where limited partial pressure driving forces are available due to external constraints but it is still desirable to utilize a semi-permeable membrane device to effect a separation, the disadvantage of the cross-flow geometry becomes significant. It may therefore be desirable to utilize a hollow fiber membrane geometry which more closely approaches true countercurrent permeation driving forces.
A modified arrangement designed to operate in this manner is illustrated in FIG. 2, wherein like reference numerals to those used in FIG. 1 denote like elements. The unit 52 comprises a shell 12 which contains discs or plates 32 and 34 spaced from the end walls 30 and 16 of the shell to create chambers or header spaces 62 and 64. Hollow fiber membranes 14 are mounted in the disks 32 and 34 so that their ends communicate with the chambers. Porous wraps 75 located adjacent the discs 32 and 34 hold the end portions of the membrane fibers and allow hydrocarbon to enter the interior of the fiber bundle. A sealing ring 76, provided at the interior end of the lower porous wrap 75, and a non-porous wrap 77, extending upwardly from the sealing ring 76 and holding the central portion of the membrane fibers, prevent hydrocarbon fluid from short-circuiting the fiber bundle through the annular space between the shell 12 and the non-porous wrap 77. A non-sealing spacer ring 79 centralizes the bundle but will not allow pressure to build up in the annular space between the membrane bundle and the shell. An inlet 78 is provided in the side wall of the shell 12 adjacent the lower porous wraps 75, and the outlet 26 is adjacent the other porous wrap 75.
In use, the process is similar to the process described in connection with FIG. 1. The hydrocarbon feed mixture enters the shell 12 through inlet 78 and flows through the adjacent porous wrap 75 to the interior of the fiber bundle and axially along the hollow fibers 14. It then flows through the other porous wrap 75 to the annular space between the fiber bundle and the shell from which treated product flows out the outlet 26. The sweep gas enters the unit through the inlet 31 located in the end wall 30 of the unit and flows inside the hollow fiber membranes 14, sweeping along the permeated impurities and out the outlet 74. The purging action and dilution of the impurities are the same as explained in connection with FIG. 1.
As an alternative to the use of hollow fiber membranes, spirally wrapped sheet membranes can be used to permit impurities to be separated from hydrocarbon mixtures in accordance with the process of the invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the membrane unit 80 comprises a container or shell 12 in which spaced sheet membranes 82 and 84 are located in spirally wrapped form between the inlet tube 96 and the side wall of the shell. The sheet membranes 82 and 84 are alternately spaced apart by a spacer layer 86 and a spacer layer comprised of sealer strip 88 centrally located between spacer layers 90 and 92 in end-to-end fashion.
The membrane configuration illustrated in FIG. 3 is formed by spirally winding the stacked layers shown in FIG. 4 about a sealing spacer ring 94, mounted on perforated tube 96 at a location midway between the ends of the container 12, and about other spacer rings 98, mounted on the perforated tube at spaced locations from the spacer ring 94 and from each other. The sealing spacer ring 94 is located opposite a central sealing plug 99, shown in FIG. 3, in the perforated tube 96. The layer adjacent the spacer rings is comprised of the spacer layers 90 and 92 separated by the sealing strip 88, which is aligned with the sealing spacer ring 94. It can be seen that the spacer layers 90 and 92 are in the form of slit-expanded flexible sheets, with the spaces through the slits 100 forming a flow path in a direction transverse to the perforated tube 96. The layer 86 separating the membranes 82 and 84 is in the form of a corrugated sheet which, while holding its corrugated shape, is nevertheless sufficiently flexible to be wrapped around the tube 96. In such an arrangement the corrugations 102 run parallel to the perforated tube 96 so that the troughs between them form a flow path parallel to the tube 96. Alternatively, the layer 86 could also be constructed of slit-expanded sheets, with the spaces through the slits forming the flow path parallel to the tube 96.
Referring back to FIG. 3 and also to FIG. 5, in the illustrated arrangement both the innermost spacer layer and the outermost spacer layer of the spirally stacked membrane unit are comprised of the slit-expanded sheets 90 and 92 and the intervening spacer ring 88. This configuration is achieved by making this spacer layer longer than the other layers in the stack so that it overlaps the membrane 82 as shown at 104. The spirally wound stack is contained within an impermeable wrap 106 which seals the outer surface of the spirally wound stack and consolidates the spiral stack into a unit. Extending beyond the end of the outer layer 104 of the spiral stack and inside the impermeable wrap 106 for the length of the spiral stack is another layer 108 similar in construction to the slit-expanded layer 90. For the purpose of illustration, the layer 108 has been shown as being blackened so as to be more readily distinguishable from the layer 90. As shown in FIG. 5, the layer 108 extends for only a short arcuate distance.
The spiral stack is held between perforated end caps 110 containing central openings through which the tube 96 passes, thereby centralizing the bundle within the shell 12. Sealing ring 112 prevents the short-circuiting of hydrocarbon fluid around the bundle through the annular space between the bundle and the shell 12.
In operation, hydrocarbon product enters the unit through inlet 114 and flows through the perforations in the end caps 110, continuing axially between the membrane sheets 82 and 84 within the spacer layer 86 while impurities in the stream are diffused through the membranes. Treated product exits through the perforations in the other end cap 110 and through the outlet 116. The sweep gas entering through tube 96 flows out the perforations 97 located above the sealing plug 99 and into the spacer layer 90, which causes the sweep gas to take a spirally outward path until it reaches the layer 108. The resulting mixture of permeate and sweep gas then flows axially through the spacer layer 108 into the spacer layer 92, through which it flows in a spirally inward path, returning to the perforated tube 96 below the sealing plug 99. The permeate and sweep gas mixture collected in the bottom half of the tube 96 flows to fuel system 50 via conduit 40. The conduit and valve system of FIG. 3 is similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, with like reference numerals denoting similar elements.
The benefits of the invention are many and significant. By utilizing a sweep gas to purge and dilute the permeate, the total back pressure on the permeate side of the membrane is increased to the point where there is sufficient pressure to deliver the permeate without the use of a compressor, which is quite significant given the high cost of a compressor of the necessary size. Because the use of a sweep gas dilutes impurities to a greater extent than it dilutes hydrocarbon product vapor, the driving force for the impurities is also greater, resulting in more efficient removal of impurities from the hydrocarbon product stream than is obtained in conventional membrane operation. Another benefit of this phenomenon is that it improves membrane selectivity. Thus the invention can provide better purification with the same membrane area that is required in the conventional process or can provide the same purification as the conventional process but with reduced membrane area and reduced product losses.
By utilizing fuel gas for the sweep and delivering the mixture of sweep gas and permeate to the fuel system of the plant in which the treatment operation is located, the hydrocarbon vapor included in the permeate can be burned for its fuel value. The process of the invention is especially effective in fractionation plants where large amounts of fuel are used to separate hydrocarbon liquid products into components by distillation where it can replace the amine process pretreatment for removal of carbon dioxide prior to or after fractionation.
If the process should be used to remove sulfur compounds or other impurities which are not desirable to be burned in the fuel and emitted to the atmosphere, any conventional process to selectively remove these sulfur compounds from the fuel stream prior to its use may be employed. Alternatively, in plants where a claus-type sulfur recovery process or sulfur tailgas clean-up processes are operating, the fuel and permeate mixture can be routed directly to these units.
It should now be appreciated that the invention need not be limited to all the specific details of the described embodiments, but that changes to certain features of the embodiments which do not alter the overall basic function and concept of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention defined in the claims.

Not a single employee could speak EnglishPosted Aug 30, 2016
Pros: Room and lobby are spacious.
Cons: They should offer at least few English Chanel when foreigner doesn't speak Chinese,.
Location: Good location many restaurants near by and not too far from Metro station.
Very bad experience to start with I was with my brother for four day stay at this hotel. They didn't give us two keys. Every time when one of us to leave the hotel, we have go to ask the front desk employee to open the elevator and push the button to our floor of the hotel. You need to swipe cared(hotel key) to ride the elevator. This was pain, because they don't speak one world in English. I had some important work that needed internet, and WIFI wasn't working for two whole days. Corridor carpets were dirty and smelly too.

價格便宜的酒店Posted Apr 15, 2016 on Hotels
(1)酒店是挺乾淨的,而已房間很大! (2)但前台服務員不夠親切,比方我在香港已經訂好房間及繳付所有的費用…但去到酒店,前台查來查去都說我未確認訂房 . 我說怎麼可能?? 我都已經收到Hotel.com 確認的電郵 ! 後來有一個經理走過去,查了一下又說名字打錯, 還說是 hotel.com 把我名字打錯……… 別耍我吧! 我翻查資料, 根本我給的跟hotel.com 回覆的電郵中資料都沒錯 ! 唉…… 這個酒店說錯的負責,我沒興趣去追究 ~ 反正覺得她們做事馬馬虎虎的 ! (3)酒店的地點,也挺方便的 ! (4) 房間的隔音超級無敵差, 幾乎每晚都能聽到隔壁房間的人說話 … 而且早上總是被那些關門的聲音吵醒 (不錯的天然鬧鐘)

Heikko kielitaito ja hankala sijaintiPosted Mar 23, 2016 on Hotels
Hotelli melko uusi, huoneet siistit ja pari pulloa juomavettä kuului hintaan. Vedenkeittomahdollisuus huoneessa. Kielitaito tiskillä heikko, minibar ei ollut käytössä,ravintola ei ollut auki esitteen mukaisesti, WiFi yhteys ei toiminut ylemmissä kerroksissa, ilmastointi ei ollut käytössä matkan ajakohtana (maaliskuun puoliväli)jolloin huone oli tukalan kuuma. Ikkunan avaamalla sai huoneen viileäksi, mutta tällöin huonolaatuista ulkoilmaa piti pääsää huoneeseen. Kaikki taksit eivät ajaneet hotellille asti, koska sijaitsee kapean kujan varrella -loppumatka n. 400m oli käveltävä.

생각보다 큰 방이라 놀랐다. 중국 숙박업소는 난방이 잘 안되어서 춥다는 인터넷 글이 많았는데 여기는 난방이 너무 잘되어서 조금은 더웠다. 조식도 나름 먹을 만 했고 객실청소도 잘해 줘서 고마웠으나 지도에 있는 위치와는 조금 다른 위치에 있어서 놀랐다 구글 지도를 믿고 가서는 안된다. 그리고 영어가 통하는 직원을 한명보았고 체크인, 체크아웃 할 때 그 직원이 없어서 좀 힘들었다

Nice hotel in a,neighborhoodPosted Feb 4, 2014
Pros: Very comfortable and the staff was very accommodating. The rooms were large.
Cons: Need,covers on the bathroom windows to the rooms. It makes it hard to share a room.
Location: Hard to find many taxi drivers did not know where it was from the airport. Local shopping very close by.
We loved the hotel. Everyone was helpful and the rooms are very nice size. The hardest part was getting a taxi to take us there from the airport. It was dark and thankfully I took a, map of the hotel for the cab driver.

Good location wonderful neighbor hoodPosted Apr 20, 2013 on Hotels
Good location ,all packages should include breakfast,staff should speak more English,television should have English stations mainly movies,CNN English ,also should cater for smoking guests and staff should not suggest tips ,you should be free to give whatever you like.

Posted Nov 29, 2012 on Hotels
The hotel's location is on an alley and taxis will refuse to come into the hotel. This is highly inconvenient especially when one arrives after a long flight and need to pull the baggage from main road to the hotel . It is worse at night. and when the weather is freezing. The staff speak very little English and could not give much local information. Otherwise the hotel is good. Rooms are spacious, clean and up to date. Room facilities are fine -coffee making facility, fridge in the room. Good heating system in place. Subway station is 5-8 mins by walk . Hotel needs to resolve the issue of the taxi or make arrangements for guests to be picked from airport at reasonable rate or from nearby station - Dongixemen where the Airport Express trains arrives. Dongixemen station is about 10 mins by taxi from the hotel and does not cost much.

Size & Fit Details
Outdoor Voices™ racerback tank
Rated 4.4 out of 5Â by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jordan Amazing tank Really love the cut, perfectly fitted without being super tight. My new fave! Need more colors!!! June 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by shoppinghal Washes really well! I am usually a 00/XXS in J.Crew, the XS fits great! A little looser than I usually wear my workout clothes, but in a flattering way. I have a shorter torso, so it's a big long, but I fold it under and go on my merry way. Most importantly for workout clothes, it gets better and softer with every wash! I will be ordering the other color, and have already checked Outdoor Voices' website to order through them, too. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Annie Perfect "everything" tank Living in NYC, I'm constantly running around town and usually on my way to or from the gym at some point during the day. This tank is subtle and sophisticated enough to wear with nice jeans at the office during the day and then throw on some leggings after work and head straight to spin class with the same top. I also love that the fabric is breathable and wicks moisture for hot summer mornings on the subway platform or long runs along the the Hudson. The OV racerback is part of my daily uniform, I love it! June 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by PositiveThinker Great Tank I absolutely love this tank. The fabric is soft and it washes well with no fading. I wear the black one several times a week, so much so that I purchased 2 more in both colors. I also purchased the Outdoor Voices hoodie and pants which I equally love. This brand is amazing. Fit seems true to size. I am a 34A and purchased the tank in XS. December 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by DandM Very neat I enjoy wearing this tank because it is soft and slightly form fitting. Looks neat for running errands. June 14, 2015

Josh has lost another 55 pounds, had skin removal surgery, and even became a personal trainer. It's the kind of story that deserves being told once… twice… as many times as we can!
"Losing more than 300 pounds is crazy!" he told DietsInReview.com.
"I went from [being] the unhappy, depressed, lonely person to someone full of energy and hope for the future," he said. "Some days I am just blown away by how far I came in just two and half years."
That's right! Less than three years and more than 300 pounds later, Josh is a new man! (more…)
A year-long study regarding the connection between weight loss surgery and curing type 2 diabetes was released this week. The study showed that surgery seemed to be more effective than lifestyle change and medication for treating the disease. However, the tradeoff was that those who had the surgery were at a very common risk for complications. Is this just a one step forward and one step back scenario?
The Associated Press reported that a new publication in the Journal of the American Medical Association is stating that gastric bypass surgery can effectively treat type 2 diabetes in patients with mild to moderate obesity. This means people who are about 50 to 70 pounds overweight.
While the glowing light of the words "treatment for diabetes" seems impressive, it was also stated that of those in the study who received surgery, a third of them developed serious problems during the first year after surgery. The typical complications include infections, intestinal blockage, and bleeding. And then there was a much smaller percentage who experienced much more severe complications. (more…)
Tuesday, New Jersey governor Chris Christie admitted to secretly undergoing weight-loss surgery in February.
The news of his surgery surprised many because Governor Christie has a history of defending his weight, including making fun of it himself on the CBS Late Show and Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update. He also infamously told a former White House doctor to "shut up" when she expressed concerns over his weight and the possibility of his health failing while in office.
Governor Christie underwent gastric band surgery mid-February and no information has been released on how much weight he has lost since then. During the surgery a band is placed around the stomach to reduce the amount of food that can be eaten. The adjustable bad also helps to make the patient feel full on less food. Gastric band surgery is one of the most common and safest weight loss surgery options, but, like other weight loss surgeries, is not a guaranteed fix to weight problems. (more…)
Many people view weight loss surgery as the last-chance solution to obesity. Those who have a BMI of 40 or higher were the only ones eligible for bariatric surgery. That has changed with the release of new guidelines. Now, those with a BMI between 30 and 34.9, those who are considered mildly or moderately obese, with diabetes or metabolic syndrome can be considered candidates as well.
Dr. Joseph Colella, a leading bariatric surgeon, feels the new guidelines have many advantages. "More people who have lost the battle with their weight and are suffering from some of the significant medical consequences of obesity can now get real and effective help before it's too late." The new guidelines are a significant change to those established in 2008 set by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, and the Obesity Society.
