  • Publication number: 20240148174
    Abstract: This present invention relates a beverage container carrier comprising a cylindrical vessel receiver for receiving a beverage container, one or more of a tension tab, and one or more of a tension fin. When a beverage container is inserted into the cylindrical vessel receiver it contacts the tension fin. The tension fin and tension tab flex outward creating space within the cylindrical vessel receiver for the beverage container and applying retaining pressure to the beverage container holding it securely within the cylindrical vessel receiver. In exemplary embodiments, the beverage container carrier further comprises a handle slot proximate to the open-top rim for receiving the beverage container handle, and an attachment panel having concealed magnet retention slots. One or more magnets are secured in each of the magnet retention slots and orientated such that the magnets secure the beverage container carrier to ferrous metal objects.

  • Patent number: 10577539
    Abstract: A process for deoxygenating a pyrolysis oil stream comprises purposely limiting complete deoxygenation of the pyrolysis oil stream having a high oxygenate concentration to provide a hydrotreated pyrolysis oil stream that is sufficiently reduced in oxygenate content to mix with oil. By not fully deoxygenating the pyrolysis oil stream, the deoxygenation reaction can be run with little risk of undesirable polymerization reactions plugging the reactor.

  • Patent number: 10283638
    Abstract: A stack for a semiconductor device and a method for making the stack are disclosed. The stack comprises a plurality of sacrificial layers in which each sacrificial layer comprises a first lattice parameter; and at least one channel layer comprising a second lattice parameter that is different from the first lattice parameter and in which each channel layer is disposed between and in contact with two sacrificial layers. The stack is formed on an underlayer in which a sacrificial layer is in contact with the underlayer. The underlayer comprises a third lattice parameter that substantially matches the lattice parameter that the plurality of sacrificial layers and the at least one channel layer would have if the plurality of sacrificial layers and the at least one channel layer were was allow to relax coherently.
