Patent number: 10941105Abstract: A method for co-production of high purity dimethyl carbonate and mono-ethylene glycol by applying a reactor, such as a membrane reactor and/or an adsorbent-catalytic reactor by capturing and reacting carbon dioxide with methanol and ethylene oxide. Carbon dioxide may be recovered from primary sources (utilities and industrial processes) by a membrane or solid adsorbent, and subsequently converted to an intermediate hydroxy-ethyl-methyl carbonate by reacting with ethylene oxide and methanol. For high-purity carbon dioxide (obtained by carbon capture technologies or from an ethanol fermentation process), the membrane reactor is replaced with a catalytic reactor for direct conversion of carbon dioxide to hydroxy-ethyl-methyl carbonate by reacting with ethylene oxide and methanol. The hydro-ethyl-methyl carbonate is further reacted with methanol for conversion to dimethyl carbonate. A combination of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts is implemented for an effective conversion of carbon dioxide.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: E3Tec Service, LLCInventors: Chandrakant B.

Patent number: 10941637Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for triggering detonation of a perforating gun via optical signals are provided. An improved laser firing head may be used with an optical cable (e.g., fiber optic cable) run through the wellbore to trigger detonation of a perforating gun in response to an optical signal. The laser firing head may be activated, and the perforating gun fired, upon the application of an optical signal output from the surface and transmitted through the optical cable. The disclosed system using the laser firing head with the optical cable may be impervious to electrical interference, since the laser firing head may only fire the perforating gun when a properly modulated laser or light source is directed down the optical cable for a specific period of time.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2015Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Neal Gregory Skinner, Etienne Samson

Patent number: 10942918Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a self-cleaning token vault for managing tokens generated on behalf of a resource provider. The generated tokens may be stored at the token vault. Embodiments provide a token manager (which can be embodied in the token vault or provided as a separate module) that continuously monitor the token vault for expired or redundant tokens. The token manager may enable the resource provider to assign level flags to the tokens and assign level values to the level flags. The level value may indicate an importance or a use characteristic of the token. Upon identifying tokens that are no longer necessary, the self-cleaning token vault or the token manager may automatically remove the tokens from the token vault.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Visa International Service AssociationInventor: Tommy Chipman
