  • Patent number: 11651141
    Abstract: A system and method for utilizing automatically generating related subject matter areas to create footer links for a subject matter page of a tutor matching website is disclosed and claimed. In particular, a document embedding algorithm such as word2vec, doc2vec or GloVe can be trained using on a particular subject using pertinent material such as, for example, textbooks, learned papers, and transcripts of lectures. Once trained, the document embedding algorithm can be used to generate a list of related subjects that can be used to automatically build footer links for a particular subject matter page. The related footer links can improve the positioning of the tutor matching website with common Internet search engines. The same document embedding algorithm can be used to identify previously answered questions that may assist a user posing a question to the tutor matching website.

  • Publication number: 20060252631
    Abstract: Layers comprising a molecular sieve layer on a porous or non-porous support, having uniform properties and allowing high flux are prepared from colloidal solutions of zeolite or other molecular sieve precursors (particle size less than 100 nm), by deposition, e.g., by spin or dip-coating, or by in situ crystallization.

  • Publication number: 20060174764
    Abstract: The present invention is a method for operating a rapid cycling pressure swing adsorption (RCPSA) having a cycle time, T, to separate a feed gas into a non-adsorbed gas and tail gas. The method includes the steps of passing the feed gas having a purity of F % at high pressure into a first end of a bed which selectively adsorbs the tail gas and passes the product gas out a second end of the bed for a time, F. The product gas has a purity, P %, and a rate of recovery of R %. Then the bed is cocurrently drpressurized for a time, tCO, followed by countercurrently depressurizing the bed for a time, tCN. The bed is then purged for a time, tP, wherein desorbate (tail gas) is released at the first end of the bed at a pressure greater than 30 psig, Subsequently the bed is repressurized for a duration, tRP. R>80%, P/F?1.1 or R?90%, 0<P/F<1.1.
