Abstract: A method for purifying 1-hexene is disclosed. The method can include contacting a first stream containing 1-hexene and 2-ethyl-1-butene with an isomerization catalyst containing an comprising an alumina, silica-alumina, a zeolite, or an ion exchange resin, or any combinations thereof, under conditions sufficient to selectively isomerize at least a portion of 2-ethyl-1-butene into 3-methyl-2-pentene and form a second stream containing 1-hexene and 3-methyl-2-pentene, and separating the second stream into a third stream containing 1-hexene and a fourth stream containing 3-methyl-2-pentene.

Abstract: A method for rules driven interactions for Webinar content retrieval and storage includes establishing a Webinar between a presenter and a live attendee, sharing a display of the presenter with the live attendee, detecting in the display a content portion and matching the content portion to one of a multiplicity of rules. Thereafter, the matched one of the rules is executed so as to present additional content in a user interface of the live attendee and the matched one of the rules is stored in a recording of the Webinar, with an indication at which point in time during the Webinar the matched one of the rules had been executed. Finally, the stored recording is retrieved and played back to an offline attendee through a user interface to the Webinar and the matched one of the rules is executed so as to present additional content to the offline attendee.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a content digitization and digitized content characterization system and method. For example, digitized content items may have content elements of interest extracted therefrom for remote characterization by a set of system users while mitigating, if not eliminating, concerns as to content privacy, confidentiality and/or security.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a system and method for providing enrolled users secure remote access to computer-based work originating from distinct clients. In some embodiments, the system comprises a network-accessible computing unit having a business application operating thereon and being remotely accessible by distinct network-enabled computing devices via respective secure network connection thereto. The computing unit further has one or more data storage devices operatively associated therewith or accessible thereto to maintain a user register of enrolled users and their respective work capabilities, as well as a register of computer-based tasks to be completed for the distinct clients. The system is operable select at least one of enrolled user as suitable for performing a designated task, authorize the selected user remote access to the business application to complete the designated task; and track work done by the selected user for remuneration purposes.

Abstract: Requests to gain access to secure resources are adjudicated according to authentication policies that include rules based on user-states derived from multiple heterogeneous access-control systems. Comprehensive user authentication and access control based on rules and policies that encompass a user's status in multiple access-control systems, including both logical access (e.g., Active Directory, RADIUS, Virtual Private Network, etc.) as well as physical access (e.g., card-based) control systems, may be realized.
