  • Publication number: 20240034631
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the scalable synthesis of carbonaceous perimorphic materials, including carbonaceous perimorphic frameworks, on recyclable templates, and using recyclable process liquids. The present disclosure also demonstrates novel perimorphic architectures. In particular, perimorphic frameworks comprising synthetic anthracitic networks are demonstrated. Using these methods, three-dimensional architectures constructed from graphenic carbon can be scalably produced.

  • Patent number: 9031885
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to predicting and using search engine switching behavior. In aspects, switching components receive a representation of user interactions with at least one browser. The switching components derive information from the representation that is useful in predicting whether a user will switch search engines. The derived information and information about a user's current interaction with a browser is then used by a switch predictor to predict whether the user will switch search engines. This prediction may be used in a variety of ways examples of which are given herein.

  • Publication number: 20060162066
    Abstract: The present invention provides a furniture construction, and an associated method of manufacture, that can be converted from a bed to a table and vice versa. According to one embodiment, the furniture construction includes a support structure, a bed frame movably connected to the support structure so that the bed frame can be rotated between an inoperative first position and an operative second position, and a table movably connected to the support structure so that the table can be adjusted between an operative first position and an inoperative second position. The bed frame and the table are structured such that when the bed frame is in the operative second position the table is in the inoperative second position, and when the table is in the operative first position the bed frame is in the inoperative second position.
