Controlled pore structure catalysts are disclosed that are active for catalyzing the partial oxidation of methane to CO and H2 and, advantageously, are capable of initiating the reaction without the need for an additional ignition source. A light projection system projects light onto the form carrier. As the top plate pivots upon the other, ports that extend through the plates control the flow of material from the hopper into the throat of the machine. Upon apprehension of an insect, the sheet restraining the insect is separated, if not already separated from its stack, folded to encase the insect and ready for disposal. Within the ionized gas or plasma, free electrons are accelerated, and electron-atoms collisions liberate more electrons, and the process cascades until the plasma contains sufficient energy to break apart the tissue molecules, causing molecular dissociation and ablation of the target tissue.
