  • Publication number: 20250148037
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems and methods are described that relate to providing, in a browser environment, a sidebar search capability to users. Once in a primary content page, the user is able to select text for searching. In response, the system provides a context menu or keyboard shortcut that includes an option for conducting a sidebar search. In response to user selection, the system passes highlighted or selected text as a parameter to the search engine. The results are provided in an area alongside the currently displayed content page, such as in a sidebar search pane. The user is able to experience search results without leaving the context of their current search tab.

  • Patent number: 12275906
    Abstract: The invention relates to renewable hydrocarbons, and more particularly to biomass-based diesel fuel produced in a process including hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenolic lipids. The process may generally include combining a phenolic lipid and a hydrocarbon diluent to provide a hydrocarbon-diluted phenolic lipid then subjecting the hydrocarbon-diluted phenolic lipid to hydrodeoxygenation in a reactor to provide a reactor effluent including a hydrodeoxygenated phenolic lipid. The hydrodeoxygenated phenolic lipid is separated from the reactor effluent.

  • Publication number: 20240124785
    Abstract: An improved method for removal of contaminants from low-value and waste fats and oils for the purpose of hydrodeoxygenation into diesel boiling range hydrocarbons. The method includes removing organically bound contaminants from fats, oils, and greases (FOG) by adding water to a contaminated FOG stream, subjecting the mixture to heat, and mixing to promote reaction between the water and the FOG. Then, separating a reacted FOG from the contaminants. The reacted FOG will result in reduced organically bound chlorine contaminants.

  • Publication number: 20230013569
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure render a context menu upon receiving a context menu indication from a user. The context menu comprises a combination of local context menu items and remote context menu items that are selected based on the context received with the context menu indication. The context menu is created by identifying a set of local and remote context menu item providers and receiving both a rank and HTML based on the received context. The set of local and remote context menu items are ranked according to their respective rank and a number of ranked context menu items are selected. The HTML for the selected context menu items are combined and the combined HTML is rendered to yield the context menu. The context menu is presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 11027449
    Abstract: Particular embodiments of the inventive technology relate to apparatus and methods for cutting multi-layered material to reconfigure it so it may be used to construct sub-compartments in a larger storage container. The inventive technology, in particular embodiments may feature one or more of the following: dual blades, “staggered” blades (where one blade is more forward than another), a blade(s) angled upwards and forwards, blades separated in a left-right direction, prong recesses to accept trailing tips of blades, a rearwardly angled handle and/or a removed material ejection ramp, in conjunction perhaps with other features such as, e.g., a guide prong. One or more of such features may appear in the various manifestations of a defluting cutter or through cutting apparatus, whether guided or unguided, and/or manual or powered.
