  • Patent number: 11593892
    Abstract: Improved technological solutions are introduced for providing a secure and effective and enhanced clustering/grouping solution that is useful, for example, in an online dating forum as well as any number of other industries. The ability to attend live events in person or remotely is coupled with presence location and automatic verification of user devices and identities. This allows secured communication between participants without having to disclose actual contact information of the participants or their device addresses. An improved algorithm that groups members/items effectively based on a variety of matching criteria, with lowered possibilities of errors and more efficient use of processing power, is now introduced.

  • Publication number: 20220411454
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for the efficient and economic generation of lignin monomers from biomass. The provided devices and methods utilize reductive catalytic fractionation with an organic solvent to extract high-quality lignin from biomass and cleave specific lignin bonds to generate valuable lignin monomers with a relatively narrow product slate. Advantageously, the devices and methods described herein utilize solvent recycling, multiple solvolysis chambers with multiple biomass beds and/or physical agitation (e.g., use of a screw extruder) to reduce the amount of solvent required and increase economic efficiency and monomer yield.

  • Patent number: 11400871
    Abstract: A retention clip is configured to securely connect a first component to a second component. The retention clip includes a first frame connected to an opposed second frame by a central beam. An interior of the clip is defined between the first and second frames. Each of the first and second frames includes lateral legs that fold inwardly at upper bends, thereby forming flanges that are disposed within the interior. The flanges on respective sides of the clip are integrally connected by a bridging member, and the flanges further include distal ends that extend below a bottom edge of the bridging member. The clip further includes a flexible wing for securing the clip within the interior of a panel opening. Some embodiments of a retention clip include protrusions that extend inwardly from the bridging members.

  • Patent number: 11183401
    Abstract: An industrial-scale system and method for handling precisely aligned and centered semiconductor substrate (e.g., wafer) pairs for substrate-to-substrate (e.g., wafer-to-wafer) aligning and bonding applications is provided. Some embodiments include an aligned substrate transport device having a frame member and a spacer assembly. The centered semiconductor substrate pairs may be positioned within a processing system using the aligned substrate transport device, optionally under robotic control. The centered semiconductor substrate pairs may be bonded together without the presence of the aligned substrate transport device in the bonding device. The bonding device may include a second spacer assembly which operates in concert with that of the aligned substrate transport device to perform a spacer hand-off between the substrates. A pin apparatus may be used to stake the substrates during the hand-off.
