  • Patent number: 11680038
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fluid bed processes that utilize silica particles as a fluidization aid. The process comprises reacting one or more reactants in a reactor comprising a fluid bed to form a product. The fluid bed comprises a catalyst composition comprising a catalyst and an inert additive composition comprising silica particles from 0.5 wt % to 30 wt %, based on the total weight of the catalyst composition. The silica particles are discrete, inert particles that are mixed with the catalyst in the fluid bed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11309538
    Abstract: A method for fabricating porous wire-in-tube (WiT) nanostructures including forming a first porous core-shell nanostructure, forming a second porous core-shell nanostructure by increasing thickness and porosity of the porous core-shell nanostructure, and forming a porous WiT nanostructure by etching the second porous core-shell nanostructure. Forming the first porous core-shell nanostructure may include forming a porous layer on a semi-conductive core by depositing a first plurality of particles on the semi-conductive core and generating an initial porous semi-conductive core by etching the semi-conductive core simultaneously with forming the porous layer.

  • Patent number: 10999354
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for opening files via local applications. A first application on a local device receives a request to open a document specified by a user via a user interface associated with the first application, the document having a document identifier and associated with a first file stored on a server. The first application communicates the request to open the document associated with the first file to a second application on the local device, and receives, from the second application, information identifying one of the plurality of document processing applications that are on the local device and are capable of opening a second file that is stored on the local device and has the same document identifier as the document specified by the user, the second file being a local copy of the first file.
