Abstract: Processes for producing branched fluoroalkyl olefins are disclosed. In addition, novel halo-fluoroalkane intermediates are disclosed that may be used in the branched fluoroalkyl olefin production processes. Non-limiting examples of branched fluoroalkyl olefins include branched fluorobutenes, such as 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-3-trifluoromethyl)but-1-ene (HFO-1438ezy). In some aspects, there is disclosed a method for dehydrobrominating 4-bromo-1,1,1,2,4-pentafluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)butane to produce 1,3,4,4,4-pentafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)but-1-ene (HFO-1438ezy).

Abstract: A method and system for authenticating answers to Domain Name System (DNS) queries originating from recursive DNS servers are provided. A verification component provides a verification that a DNS query originated from the recursive DNS server. An authoritative DNS server receives the query via a network, such as the Internet, and provides an answer to the query to an authentication component. The authentication component then provides an authentication, such as a digital signature, which confirms that the received answer was provided by the authoritative DNS server, and then communicates the answer and the authentication to the verification component via the network. The verification component then verifies that the authentication corresponds to the received answer and sends the answer to the recursive DNS server. When the verification component receives an answer in the absence of a corresponding authentication, the verification component drops the answer.

Abstract: A manifold for distributing lubricant in a transmission includes an inlet supply nozzle for receiving transmission lubricant, and a main body in fluid communication with the supply nozzle. The main body defines a channel having open side. The manifold also includes a cover connected to the main body at the open side that creates a fluid seal along an edge of the channel. A first port extends from the main body for dispersing lubricant in a solid stream spray pattern onto traction components of the transmission. A second port extends from the main body for dispersing lubricant in a fan spray pattern onto traction components of the transmission. The manifold also includes an exhaust nozzle to discharge lubricant from the manifold for recirculation within the transmission.

Abstract: An event trigger data string is formulated and added to digital content for distribution to an audience via broadcast, satellite, cable or any other technology. The event trigger data string includes identification of an event source, identification of an operation to be performed, and a payload. A controller reads the data string and outputs a command to an appropriate event source for alteration of a digital content stream based upon the identified operation. The payload may, for example, identify an advertisement or notice to be spliced into or out of the digital content stream. Such event trigger data strings may be added to many different digital content streams, and a router or switching component may distribute the streams to systems that disseminate them to the audience. The technique enables interaction with different event sources, and allows command of multiple different operations by these event sources.

Abstract: An interactive system and method allow for broadcast of basic content data along with data that define graphical inserts that can be played with or super-imposed on screens of the decoded broadcast. Coordinated pages or screens may be transmitted to audience secondary devices, such as smart phones, tablet computers, and so forth. Audience members may participate in an interactive experience by selecting options provided on the secondary devices. Audience responses are received, aggregated, and rules applied in accordance with the desired experience. The graphical indicia are altered during the broadcast, and optionally during or just following a period for audience feedback.
