Publication number: 20220389123Abstract: Amine-functionalized saccharide polymers, including oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, may be effective for promoting clay stabilization in subterranean formations. Oxidative synthesis of amine-functionalized saccharide polymers using sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate as an oxidation reagent may afford a different distribution and type of sites of oxidative opening as compared to other types of oxidation reagents. Amine-functionalized saccharide polymers may be prepared by exposing a saccharide polymer comprising a trans-vicinal diol to an oxidation reagent comprising sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate, reacting the trans-vicinal diol to form a site of oxidative opening bearing at least one aldehyde, exposing the at least one aldehyde to an amine to form an imine intermediate at the site of oxidative opening, and reducing the imine intermediate into a secondary or tertiary amine at the site of oxidative opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2020Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: INTEGRITY BIO-CHEMICALS, LLCInventors: Ashoka V.R.

Publication number: 20220389333Abstract: Described is a novel process for disaggregating biomass pyrolysis oil quantitatively into energy dense hydrophobic aromatic fraction (HAF), fermentable pyrolytic sugars and phenolics based products in a highly economical and energy efficient manner. Phase separation of the esterified pyrolysis oil after an oxidative pre-treatment and the quantitative recovery of the separate fractions is described. Phase separation uses batch as well as continuous reactor systems. The resulting HAF is an energy dense, thermally stable, water free, non-corrosive to carbon steel, and is a free flowing liquid suitable for combustion and for upgrading to transportation fuels. Pyrolytic sugars which are mainly anhydrosugars can be further converted by fermentation to ethanol or other products. Monomeric phenols are useful industrial intermediates and the organic acids in the original pyrolysis oil are mainly recovered as esters of the separation solvents.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: ALDER ENERGY, LLCInventors: Sanjeev GAJJELA, Ralph Phillips OVEREND, Zhiheng WU, MAYER Zsuzsa Ajsa, WU Haonan, Jose Antonio Medrano CATALAN

Publication number: 20220393692Abstract: A high resolution analog to digital converter (ADC) with improved bandwidth senses an analog signal (e.g., a load current) to generate a digital signal. The ADC operates based on a load voltage produced based on charging of an element (e.g., a capacitor) by a load current and a digital to analog converter (DAC) output current (e.g., from a N-bit DAC). The ADC generates a digital output signal representative of a difference between the load voltage and a reference voltage. This digital output signal is used directly, or after digital signal processing, to operate an N-bit DAC to generate a DAC output current that tracks the load current. In addition, quantization noise is subtracted from the digital output signal thereby extending the operational bandwidth of the ADC. In certain examples, the operational bandwidth of the ADC extends up to 100s of kHz (e.g., 200-300 kHz), or even higher.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: SIGMASENSE, LLC.Inventor: Phuong Huynh

Publication number: 20220394277Abstract: This application relates to video encoding and decoding, and specifically to tools and techniques for using and providing supplemental enhancement information in bitstreams. Among other things, the detailed description presents innovations for bitstreams having supplemental enhancement information (SEI). In particular embodiments, the SET message includes picture source data (e.g., data indicating whether the associated picture is a progressive scan picture or an interlaced scan picture and/or data indicating whether the associated picture is a duplicate picture). The SEI message can also express a confidence level of the encoder's relative confidence in the accuracy of this picture source data. A decoder can use the confidence level indication to determine whether the decoder should separately identify the picture as progressive or interlaced and/or a duplicate picture or honor the picture source scanning information in the SEI as it is.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gary J.
