Abstract: Systems and methods herein provide a customizable camp chair that may provide added levels of comfort to portable seating. In some examples, portions of the camp chair are inflatable to provide customized support at various areas of the chair. In other examples, portions of the camp chair are configured to receive inserted inflation devices for customized support at various areas of the chair. The chair may include an integrated air pump, which aids in inflation.

Abstract: Provided is a portable hammock style chair. The portable hammock style chair includes a foldable frame and a hammock style seat portion coupled to the foldable frame. The hammock style seat portion includes a seat fabric member and connection members. The seat fabric member may include a front edge and a rear edge, the rear edge shorter in length than the length of the front edge. The elongate connection members couple the hammock style seat portion to the foldable frame to retain the seat fabric member at a position higher than a ground surface. The foldable frame may be moved between a folded position and a useable position. In the folded position, the frame may be held together in a bag or otherwise retained in the folded position in order to improve portability.

Abstract: A hydrodeoxygenation process for producing a linear alkane from a feedstock comprising a saturated or unsaturated C10-18 oxygenate that comprises an ester group, carboxylic acid group, carbonyl group and/or alcohol group is disclosed. This process comprises contacting the feedstock with (i) a catalyst comprising about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of a metal selected from Group IB, VIB, or VIII of the Periodic Table, and (ii) a heteropolyacid or heteropolyacid salt, at a temperature between about 150° C. to about 250° C. and a hydrogen gas pressure of at least about 300 psig. By contacting the feedstock with the catalyst and heteropolyacid or heteropolyacid salt under these temperature and pressure conditions, the C10-18 oxygenate is hydrodeoxygenated to a linear alkane that has the same carbon chain length as the C10-18 oxygenate.

The process comprises contacting the feedstock with a catalyst comprising (i) about 0.1% to 10% by weight of a metal selected from Group IB or VIII of the Periodic Table, and (ii) about 0.5% to 15% by weight of tungsten, rhenium, molybdenum, vanadium, manganese, zinc, chromium, germanium, tin, titanium, gold, and/or zirconium, at a temperature between about 150° C. to 250° C. and a hydrogen gas pressure of at least 300 psig. By contacting the feedstock with the catalyst under these temperature and pressure conditions, the C10-18 oxygenate is hydrodeoxygenated to a linear alkane that has the same carbon chain length as the C10-18 oxygenate.
