Abstract: The invention is a method for producing a metal oxide catalyst useful for purifying exhaust gases and waste gases from combustion processes. The method comprises reacting a titanium dioxide precursor, a vanadium oxide precursor, and a tungsten oxide precursor in the presence of oxygen at a temperature of at least 1000° C.

Abstract: An information handling system includes at least one computing component, at least one docking station, and a rack structure. The computing component includes a component housing and at least one connector plug on a rear face. The rack structure releasably maintains the computing components and includes a first railing and a second railing coupled to a rear section. The docking station includes a front face and a rear face and is slidably disposed between the first railing and the second railing allowing for horizontal movement along the first and second railings. The docking station further includes one or more data ports on the rear face coupling with one or more data cables and at least one connector port on the front face. The connector port couples with the connector plug on the computing component such that the one or more data cables communicatively couple with the computing component.

Abstract: Seal material bars and methods for forming seal material bars, a seal material frame and a method for forming a seal material frame, and a method for forming a flat panel display. Bars of seal material are made by extruding a mixture of glass frit and organic compound. In one embodiment, the glass frit bars have joining features formed in them. Ceramic material is also extruded so as to form seal material bars. The seal material bars are placed between the backplate and the faceplate and glass frit slurry is placed between adjoining seal material bars. Alternatively, seal material bars having joining features are used by mating joining features of adjoining seal material bars. A heating step melts the seal material so as to form a sealed interior region. Alternatively, the bars of seal material are used to form a seal material frame that is disposed between the faceplate and the backplate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of straightening, texturing and strengthening hair undergoing an alkaline straightening procedure and to nonacidic aqueous hair texturing and strengthening compositions for use in conjunction therewith. The texturing and strengthening compositions have a pH value from at least 8 to about 11 containing at least one water-dispersible hair texturing and strengthening agent including a quarternary nitrogen atom with at least one aliphatic alkyl group directly or indirectly bonded to the quarternary nitrogen atom, the aliphatic alkyl group having from about 3 to about 22 carbon atoms. Methods for applying the compositions in post-straightening and pre-straightening procedures are disclosed.

Abstract: Method of producing amorphous semiconductor hydrides (hydrogenated amorphous semiconductors) with specified bandgaps. The desired bandgap is achieved by controlling the temperature and partial pressure of higher order semiconductanes which are created pyrolytically, for example, on a substrate using a hot-wall epitaxial reactor.
