  • Patent number: 9954791
    Abstract: An example method is provided to perform egress network interface selection for a network connection with a second endpoint device. The method may comprise: detecting multiple egress network interfaces of the first endpoint device that are capable of communicating with the second endpoint device via multiple routes, wherein each route involves one of the multiple egress network interfaces; and selecting, from the multiple network egress interfaces, an egress network interface based on multiple maximum transmission unit (MTU) values associated with the multiple routes. The method may further comprise setting a size limit for packets transmitted from the second endpoint device to the first endpoint device during the network connection; configuring a connection establishment packet that includes the size limit to establish the network connection; and sending the connection establishment packet to the second endpoint device via the selected egress network interface.

  • Publication number: 20180044261
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for tandem alkene dehydrogenation/alkene dimerization using an iridium pincer complex catalyst on a support comprising magnesium silicates (e.g., Florisil®). The reaction process comprises providing an iridium pincer complex bound to a solid support comprising magnesium silicates; providing a gaseous alkane feedstock comprising at least one alkane; and contacting the gaseous alkane feedstock with the iridium pincer complex bound to the solid support in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor to form dimerized alkenes. The processes disclosed herein can accomplish facile, low-temperature tandem transfer dehydrogenation of alkanes and dimerization of alkenes with unprecedented TONs at a reasonable rate of conversion.

  • Patent number: 9882576
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and method of operation thereof are provided for converting an analog signal to a digital signal. The ADC utilizes Correlated Electron Material (CEM) devices that may contain a transition metal oxide (TMO), such as Nickel Oxide (NiO). The ADC may include an interconnect circuit that is operable to couple a power supply to the CEM devices. The power supply is controlled to program the resistance of the CEM devices and thereby control performance characteristics of the ADC.

  • Publication number: 20180002361
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are processes for dehydrogenation of an alkane to an alkene using an iridium pincer complex. In the dehydrogenation reactions, hydrogen that is co-formed during the process must be removed for the chemical reaction to proceed and to prevent the excess hydrogen from poisoning the catalyst. In one embodiment the process comprises providing an alkane feedstock comprising at least one alkane and contacting the alkane with an iridium pincer complex in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propene, or mixtures to form an alkene product. The processes disclosed herein can accomplish facile, low-temperature transfer dehydrogenation of alkanes with unprecedented selectivities and TONs at a reasonable rate of conversion.

  • Publication number: 20170344618
    Abstract: Various aspects provide for implementation of a cloud service for running, monitoring, and maintaining cloud distributed database deployments and in particular examples, provides cloud based services to run, monitor and maintain deployments of the known MongoDB database. Various embodiments provide services, interfaces, and manage provisioning of dedicated servers for the distributed database instances (e.g., MongoDB instances). Further aspects, including providing a database as a cloud service that eliminates the design challenges associated with many distributed database implementations, while allowing the client's input on configuration choices in building the database. In some implementations, clients can simply identity a number of database nodes, capability of the nodes, and within minutes have a fully functioning, scalable, replicated, and secure distributed database in the cloud.

  • Publication number: 20170244444
    Abstract: Recursive constellations of Ultra-Wide Band (“UWB”) transceivers are optimized based on a desired functionality or objective. By structuring transceivers of an UWB network into a plurality of subsets or constellations of UWB nodes each constellation can be optimized for a particular purpose while maintaining connectivity and cohesiveness within the overarching network. Implementations of specific functionality can be applied to Intra-Vehicle, Inter-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure constellations resulting in localized optimizations while maintaining a cohesive and coherent UWB network.
