Abstract: Systems and methods may be implemented to enable an information handling system to adjust touchscreen interaction with a user depending on how the user is holding or otherwise touching a touchscreen display device and/or depending on what functions or tasks the user is currently performing. For example, in one embodiment, an information handling system may include one or more processing devices configured to first interpret how a user is currently using a touchscreen display device of the information handling system, and then to automatically modify the touchscreen behavior based on this interpreted touchscreen use by providing an inactive virtual bezel area that in a context-aware manner ignores touch events in the inactive area.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a new efficient method for the selective transformation, under mild conditions and in aqueous medium, of gaseous (ethane, propane and n-butane) and liquid (n-pentane, n-hexane, cyclopentane and cyclohexane) alkanes into carboxylic acids bearing one more carbon atom, characterized by a single-pot low-temperature (25-60° C.) reaction of the alkane with carbon monoxide in water/acetonitrile liquid medium, either in the absence or in the presence of a metal catalyst, in systems containing also an oxidant (a peroxodisulphate salt).
