  • Publication number: 20230313392
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel approach of obtaining a gas diffusion electrode (GDE), the gas diffusion electrodes obtained using said method and the use thereof in the electrocatalytic conversion of gaseous reactants into economically interesting reaction products. The GDEs obtained using the method of the present invention are particularly useful in the electrochemical of gaseous reactants such as CO2, H2, N2, or O2 into bulk chemicals and fuels such as Syngas, Formic Acid, Methanol, Ethanol, Ethane, Ethylene, Methane, Ammonia, and the like.

  • Patent number: 11122392
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for provisioning wireless device profiles of a wireless computing device. In this context, a wireless device profile generally may comprise one or more network and device settings including network identifiers, network security types, network keys, and other configuration information that enables a computing device to connect to a particular wireless computer network. According one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises establishing, with a first device, a first wireless connection of a first wireless connection type; receiving, from the first device via the first wireless connection, provisioning data for establishing, with a second device, a second wireless connection of a second wireless connection type that is different than the first wireless connection type; establishing, based on the provisioning data, the second wireless connection with the second device.
