Publication number: 20240140886Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of dehydrogenating hydrocarbons, such as C2 or C3 hydrocarbons, selectively and efficiently, to provide the corresponding alkylenes. The method is based on a Pt nanolayer catalyst over MXene (Pt/MXene) that shows resistance to coke deposition. The dehydrogenation conditions developed provided about 22% propane conversion and over 90% selectivity toward the desired propylene product, and the catalyst was stable for a 24-hour continuous run. The byproducts were ethane, ethylene, and methane, and only trace amounts of coke deposition over the catalyst were detected. Similar dehydrogenation conditions provided about 18% ethane conversion and over 90% selectivity toward the desired ethylene product. A mass balance of greater than 96% was achieved in each case.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicants: IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC., PURDUE RESEARCH FOUNDATIONInventors: Yue WU, Zhe LI, Fan YANG, Yang XIAO

Patent number: 11721324Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for providing high quality speech recognition. A first speech-to-text model is selected to perform speech recognition of a customer's spoken words and a second speech-to-text model is selected to perform speech recognition of the agent's spoken words during a call. The combined results of the speech-to-text models used to process the customer's and agent's spoken words are then analyzed to generate a reference speech-to-text result. The customer speech data that was processed by the first speech-to-text model is reprocessed by multiple other speech-to-text models. A similarity analysis is performed on the results of these speech-to-text models with respect to the reference speech-to-text result resulting in similarity scores being assigned to these speech-to-text models.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yuan Jin, Xi Xi Liu, Li ping Wang, Fan Xiao Xin, Zheng Ping Chu
