  • Publication number: 20230367796
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide narrative feedback generator that assists a user in composing narrative feedback paragraphs. In one embodiment, a method stores sentences associated with a plurality of performance levels and with one of a plurality of feedback element tiers and links sentences between different tiers. The method also receives a selection of an output document type and an individual of the output document. The method then filters for a first set of sentences associated with a first tier in the hierarchy and presents the first set of sentences to the user and receives a selection of a first sentence in the first set of sentences. Additionally, the method filters for a second set of sentences that are associated both with a second tier in the hierarchy and linked to the first sentence and presenting the second set of sentences to the user and receives a selection of a second sentence in the second set of sentences. The method then generates a paragraph comprising the first and second sentences.

  • Patent number: 11772967
    Abstract: A process for treating an ammonium fluorosulfate byproduct includes providing an ammonium fluorosulfate byproduct including primarily ammonium fluorosulfate and lesser amounts of fluorosulfonic acid and bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide, mixing the ammonium fluorosulfate byproduct with water, reacting the mixture of the ammonium fluorosulfate byproduct and the water at a hydrolysis reaction temperature to hydrolyze the ammonium fluorosulfate, the fluorosulfonic acid and the bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide to form ammonium bisulfate and aqueous hydrogen fluoride; and separating the ammonium bisulfate from the aqueous hydrogen fluoride.

  • Publication number: 20230159332
    Abstract: A process for producing bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide includes providing a solution comprising fluorosulfonic acid and urea, the solution maintained at a solution temperature from about 0° C. to about 70° C.; reacting the solution in the presence of a reaction medium at a reaction temperature from 80° C. to about 170° C. to produce a product stream including bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide, ammonium fluorosulfate and the reaction medium; separating the ammonium fluorosulfate from the product stream to produce an intermediate product stream; and separating the intermediate product stream into a concentrated product stream and a first recycle stream, the concentrated product stream including a higher concentration of bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide than the first recycle stream.

  • Publication number: 20220242731
    Abstract: A process for producing a sulfamyl fluoride composition includes providing a solution comprising fluorosulfonic acid, urea and a solvent; reacting the solution at a reaction temperature from 80° C. to about 170° C. to produce a mixture including sulfamyl fluoride, bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide, ammonium fluorosulfate and the solvent; separating the ammonium fluorosulfate from the mixture; and separating the mixture into a sulfamyl fluoride composition and a recycle composition, the sulfamyl fluoride composition including a higher concentration of sulfamyl fluoride and bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide than the recycle composition. A mole ratio of the fluorosulfonic acid to the urea in the solution is from about 1.80:1 to about 2.00:1.

  • Publication number: 20220226488
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs that include at least one non-natural amino acid, and methods for making such non-natural amino acids and polypeptides. The Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs can include a wide range of possible functionalities, but typically have at least one oxime, carbonyl, dicarbonyl, and/or hydroxylamine group. Also disclosed herein are non-natural amino acid Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs that are further modified post-translationally, methods for effecting such modifications, and methods for purifying such Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs. Typically, the modified Trastuzumab-linked TLR-agonist derivative analogs include at least one oxime, carbonyl, dicarbonyl, and/or hydroxylamine group.

  • Patent number: 5689275
    Abstract: A photonic bandgap antenna (PBA) (10') utilizes a periodic bandgap material (PBM), which is essentially a dielectric, to transmit, receive, or communicate electromagnetic radiation encoded with information. Further, a photonic bandgap transmission line (PBTL) (10") can also be constructed with the PBM. Because the PBA (10') and PBTL (10") do not utilize metal, the PBA (10') and PBTL (10") can be used in harsh environments, such as those characterized by high temperature and/or high pressure, and can be easily built into a dielectric structure such as a building wall or roof. Further, the PBA (10') and PBTL (10") inhibit scattering by incident electromagnetic radiation at frequencies outside those electromagnetic frequencies in the bandgap range associated with the PBM.
