Abstract: A wireless access point has a physically-embedded hardware-trust key and serves User Equipment (UE) with hardware-trusted wireless data communications. The wireless access point receives a hardware-trust challenge number and responsively generates a hardware-trust result with the physically-embedded hardware-trust key and the hardware-trust challenge number. The wireless access point transfers the hardware-trust result and receives an access hardware-trust digital certificate. The wireless access point wirelessly receives a hardware-trusted attachment request from the UE and wirelessly transfers the access hardware-trust digital certificate to the UE. The UE validates the access hardware-trust digital certificate. The wireless access point wirelessly exchanges user data with the UE responsive to the UE validating the access hardware-trust digital certificate. The wireless access point exchanges the user data with a data network.

Abstract: A process to separate paraxylene from a mixture of paraxylene, metaxylene, orthoxylene, and ethylbenzene in a commercial simulated moving bed apparatus in a reduced number of beds is provided, allowing an additional separation to be conducted in the remaining beds. This additional separation may separate another xylene isomer, ethylbenzene, or a non-aromatic C8+ hydrocarbon from the raffinate stream produced by the first separation. A PowerFeed process is used to recover paraxylene in a first adsorption zone containing 8-16 beds of a conventional 24-bed simulated moving bed adsorption apparatus, and then a second separation may be conducted in a second adsorption zone containing the remaining beds.

Abstract: A staple cartridge assembly including staples is disclosed herein. The staples comprise features which improve the biocompatibility and/or bioabsorption of the staples. The staples are comprised of a magnesium alloy, for example. The magnesium alloy can also include zinc. In certain instances, a bioabsorbable polymer is coated on part of, but not all of, the staple. Portions of the staple that are not coated by the bioabsorbable polymer will be absorbed at a first rate while portions of the staple that are coated by the bioabsorbable polymer will be absorbed at a slower rate. In various instances, the tips of the magnesium staples are coated with magnesium nitride and/or any other suitable material which can increase the hardness of the staples. In certain instances, the staples are coated in silver. In some instances, the staples include one or more apertures defined therein.
