Abstract: The present development is a metal particle coated nanowire catalyst for use in the hydrodesulfurization of fuels and a process for the production of the catalyst. The catalyst comprises titanium(IV) oxide nanowires wherein the nanowires are produced by exposure of a TiO2—KOH paste to microwave radiation. Metal particles selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, or a combination thereof, are impregnated on the metal oxide nanowire surface. The metal impregnated nanowires are sulfided to produce catalytically-active metal particles on the surface of the nanowires The catalysts of the present invention are intended for use in the removal of thiophenic sulfur from liquid fuels through a hydrodesulfurization (HDS) process in a fixed bed reactor. The presence of nanowires improves the HDS activity and reduces the sintering effect, therefore, the sulfur removal efficiency increases.

Abstract: Methods of making luminescent perovskite-polymer composites are provided and structures using the same. Perovskite-polymer composites made by the method described herein are provided. The perovskite-polymer composite is useful in many applications including downconverters for backlight units (BLU) of liquid crystal displays (LCDs), as well as for and could be used for light emitting devices, lasers or as active absorber or passive luminescent concentrators for solar photovoltaic applications.

Abstract: Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in a Web browser that may lead to malware execution on a computing device are reduced. The specific vulnerabilities arise from HTML-based e-mails using e-mail service providers (e.g., Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo) that have unknown or malformed HTML elements and Javascripts. These unknown elements may execute in a browser and cause harm to the computing device. To prevent this, the e-mail is parsed to create a DOM tree. The DOM tree is filtered using a normal element filter. The modified DOM tree is filtered a second time using a script analyzer filter to isolate potentially harmful HTML and Javascript elements. These elements are then emulated to determine which of them are in fact malicious. These malicious elements are then prevented from executing, for example, by preventing the e-mail recipient from opening the e-mail in the browser.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for protecting computers from data loss involving screen capture. Screen capture events are detected in a computer. Documents that are visible on a computer screen are identified. Files of the visible documents are identified and scanned for sensitive data to determine whether the screen capture events are targeting contents of sensitive documents.
