Patent number: 11987553Abstract: Impurities such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) are removed from trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) through distillation, adsorption, or a combination thereof, and/or including the formation of an azeotrope or azeotrope-like composition including effective amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC). The trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC) thus purified may then be used in the manufacture of trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I). Also disclosed are azeotropes and azeotrope like compositions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and trifluoroacetyl chloride (TFAC).Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Haluk Kopkalli, Haiyou Wang, Terris Yang, Jennifer W.

Patent number: 11936702Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Tuneln, Inc.Inventors: Moksha Adyanthaya, Paul Brody, Scott Collins, Jack Kim, Sarah Kate Emerson, Yuri Ono, Eric Wilcox, Richard Stern, Nicole Erthein, Devki Kalra, Joseph King, Joseph Gomez
