Methods of hydrocracking hydrocarbon streams are provided that employ substantially liquid-phase continuous hydroprocessing conditions. An exemplary embodiment of such a hinge device includes an upper hinge portion configured to be connected with a vehicle hood and a lower hinge portion configured to be connected with a vehicle body. Filter cartridge devices also are disclosed. Under this condition, the stage with the wafer thereon is raised, and then the tip of the probe needle 5 reaches the pad on the surface of the wafer. The first and second supply circuits are operable to enable transfers between operations associated with the first fuel and the second fuel being respectively supplied to the combustor at a high load.
