Abstract: A computing system can detect, based on data received via the network communication interface, a launch of a service application on a computing device of a user to initiate an application session. During the application session, the system can obtain contextual data corresponding to user interactions with the service application by the user. Based on the contextual data, the system can perform at least one of (i) acquire first additional user data corresponding to the user from one or more local data sources, or (ii) derive second additional user data associated with the contextual data to avoid a network call and reduce network latency. The system may then classify the user in a specified group for providing targeted content.

Abstract: A computing system can receive contextual data corresponding to a particular user and execute context resolution and constraint evaluation processes with local data acquisition and/or derivation priority to classify the user in one or more groups and reduce network latency. Based on the classified group(s) of the user, the computing system can provide targeted, group-specific content through an executing application of the user's computing device to enhance user experience with the application service.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using and regenerating a catalyst for producing acetic acid from ethane are disclosed. Feed stream comprising ethane and an oxidant including oxygen is flowed to a reactor, in which a catalyst comprising MoVNbPd oxide is disposed. The ethane and the oxidant are reacted in presence of the catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to produce acetic acid. When the catalyst's ability to catalyze the reaction between the ethane and the oxidant is reduced by a predetermined percentage, the flow of the feed stream to the reactor is ceased. A regenerating gas stream is flowed through the reactor to contact the regenerating gas stream with the catalyst under operating conditions to increase the catalyst's ability to catalyze the reaction between the ethane and the oxidant.
