Publication number: 20230331652Abstract: The present invention discloses a new class of trans-cyclooctenes (TCOs), “a-TCOs,” that are prepared in high yield via stereocontrolled 1,2-additions of nucleophiles to trans-cyclooct-4-enone, which itself was prepared on large scale in two steps from 1,5-cyclooctadiene. Computational transition state models rationalize the diastereoselectivity of 1,2-additions to deliver a-TCO products, which were also shown to be more reactive than standard TCOs and less hydrophobic than even a trans-oxocene analog. Illustrating the favorable physicochemical properties of a-TCOs, a fluorescent TAMRA derivative in live HeLa cells was shown to be cell-permeable through intracellular Diels-Alder chemistry and to washout more rapidly than other TCOs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: University of DelawareInventors: Joseph M. Fox, Jessica Pigga, Samantha Jo Boyd

Patent number: 11169694Abstract: A user interface can display a rendering associated with an interactive layer corresponding to one or more rendered elements of the rendering. Based at least partly on receiving an indication of an interaction with the user interface, a new rendered element can be displayed on the user interface. Based at least in part on information associated with the one or more rendered elements, a position in the interactive layer closest to a position of the new rendered element on the user interface can be determined and a rendered marking can be displayed at or near the position in the interactive layer that is closest to the position of the new rendered element. Based at least in part on a determination that the new rendered element is to be positioned at or near the position in the interactive layer, the rendering can be updated.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A. Bloch, Timothy J. Snyder, Scott A. Garman, John D. Rusenko, Jr., Joseph M. Fox

Patent number: 10691331Abstract: A web rendering module in the operating system is used to render and display a web page. The web rendering module also generates layout data that describes the position and size of each visual element on the rendered web page. A web editing application uses the layout data to generate a native overlay. The native overlay is an arrangement of cells, and each cell has the same position and size as a respective visual element. The application displays the native overlay on top of the rendered web page so that each visual element on the web page is aligned with a cell in the native overlay. The cells in the native overlay are transparent so that the rendered web page remains visible to the user, but the native overlay captures any interactions that the user performs. The interactions are then processed to make a corresponding change to the web page.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin A. Bloch, Timothy J. Snyder, Scott A. Garman, John D. Rusenko, Jr., Joseph M. Fox

Patent number: 6888029Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of N-aryl amine and N-aryl amide compounds. Generally, the process of the present invention involves reacting a compound having a primary or secondary amino or amido group with an arylating compound, in the presence of a weak base and a transition metal catalyst, under reaction conditions effective to form an N-aryl amine or N-aryl amide compound, the transition metal catalyst comprising a Group 8 metal, e.g., Ni, Pd, or Pt, and at least one carbene-containing ligand. Typically, the transition metal catalyst is formed in a preceding step from the conjugate acid form of the carbene ligand, a stoichiometric amount of a strong base, and a Group 8 metal atom or ion.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2003Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Stephen L.

Patent number: 4056599Abstract: Carnallite, comprising principally of MgCl.sub.2. KCl.6H.sub.2 O, with varying amounts of sodium chloride and other impurities, is dissolved in a lower saturated monohydric aliphatic alcohol having from one to four carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropyl alcohol, N-butyl alcohol, secondary-butyl alcohol, iso-butyl alcohol, and tert-butyl alcohol, to dissolve the magnesium chloride therein leaving an insoluble residue of principally potassium chloride, sodium chloride and other materials. The residue is filtered from the solution, dried and stored or further processed. The filtrate, a magnesium chloride hydrate solution is further processed by injecting steam or water into the solution and removing, e.g., evaporating the methanol from the solution leaving an aqueous magnesium chloride hexahydrate brine. The recovered methanol is dried by distillation, condensed and recycled.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1975Date of Patent: November 1, 1977Assignee: Bechtel International CorporationInventors: Joseph M.
