A multilayered friction lining, including friction member that forms a friction surface; and reinforcement member. The bottom wall and the side wall are formed integrally of polymeric material, with the side wall being joined to or attached to the bottom wall by a thin membrane-like connector member that is formed integrally with the perimeter of the bottom wall and a lower side edge of the side wall. The phase shift network attenuates and phase shifts the secondary signal component by 180 degrees relative to the primary prefiltered signal in such a way that a sideband spur directly cancels with the filtered output primary signal in a subsequent combining stage. A method for retrofitting a Baroball valve includes providing static pressure ports and connecting a measuring device, to these ports, for measuring the pressure differential between the Baroball chamber and the well. Upon receipt of the authorization, the account system account management system prepares limited use financial account for the transaction with the user and transmits the data to the merchant. In one embodiment, the processes are for direct, selective conversion of methane to acetic acid in a single step.
