  • Publication number: 20220218653
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cartridge for a vape device. The cartridge comprises a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and an interior chamber that is position between the inlet and the outlet. The inlet, the outlet, and the interior chamber are fluidly connected by a flow path, and the inlet is configured to receive a first cannabinoid. The cartridge also comprises a Lewis-acidic heterogeneous reagent positioned in the interior chamber such that when the flow path passes through the interior chamber, at least a portion of the flow path contacts the Lewis-acidic heterogeneous reagent. The Lewis-acidic heterogeneous reagent has an acidity metric that surpasses a threshold acidity metric for the first cannabinoid such that contact between the Lewis-acidic heterogeneous reagent and the first cannabinoid under reaction conditions defined by a contact temperature and a contact time converts at least a portion of the first cannabinoid into a second cannabinoid.

  • Publication number: 20220177442
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of converting a THC-rich cannabinoid mixture that comprises at least about 20% THC into a CBN-rich cannabinoid mixture that comprises at least about 2.0% CBN. The method comprises contacting the cannabinoid mixture with a benzoquinone reagent under reaction conditions comprising: (i) a reaction temperature that is within a target reaction-temperature range; and (ii) a reaction time that is within a target reaction-time range, such that at least a portion of the of the THC in the THC-rich cannabinoid mixture is converted into CBN.

  • Patent number: 11071391
    Abstract: A convertible couch with concealed storage includes an upper seat back, a seat bottom adapted for sliding inwardly for a first mode and sliding outwardly for a second mode, and an articulating seat section between the upper seat back and the seat bottom. The articulating seat section converts between a lower seat back in the first mode and an inner seat bottom in the second mode. The first mode is adapted for seating and the second mode is adapted for lying and reclining. A storage location housing convenience features is located behind the articulating section, such that the storage location and convenience features are concealed in the first mode and accessible in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 10704503
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an optimization method to internal combustion engines that reduces the fuel consumption and the exhaust emissions and particulated material. The operation principle is based in the introduction of small quantities of hydrogen in the air intake duct of the engine with the objective of optimizing the combustion of the traditional fuels, improving the parameters of the combustion reaction. This optimized combustion will increase the efficiency of the engine and reduce its environmental impact. The hydrogen is produced by an electrolysis reaction inside an electrochemical closed cell with non-circulating electrolyte.

  • Patent number: 10318057
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-storage media are provided for a touch-screen interface panel (TSIP) of an aircraft. The TSIP may communicate with one or more aircraft systems. In other words, the TSIP is configured to display information of one or more aircraft systems. For example, the TSIP may receive a request for weather information. In response, the TSIP receives weather information from a weather system and displays it via the TSIP screen. In another example, the TSIP may display warnings or alerts that are detected by an aircraft warning system, maintenance system, or the like. Furthermore, information that may have typically been looked up physically or called in to a tower may now be provided via the TSIP by the interfacing of the TSIP with the systems maintaining the information. For example, a charts database may communicate with the TSIP and the information thereof displayed via the TSIP.
