Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a process for manufacturing alkyleneamine compounds, comprising the steps of in a reaction medium reacting an alkyleneurea compound comprising at least one primary amine group, or at least one cyclic secondary amine group, or at least one primary amine group and at least one cyclic secondary amine group, and at least one cyclic alkyleneurea group of formula I wherein A is selected from the group of C2 to C4 alkylene units, optionally substituted by one or more C1 to C3 alkyl groups, with an alkylhalide compound to form an alkyleneamine hydrohalide salt comprising at least one cyclic alkyleneurea group of formula I, the alkylhalide compound being selected from the group of haloalkanes with 2-6 halogen atoms, and haloaminoalkanes, and reacting the alkyleneamine hydrohalide salt with a base to form an alkyleneamine compound comprising at least one cyclic alkyleneurea group of formula I.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a process for preparing hydroxyethylethyleneamines, ethyleneamines, or mixtures thereof, and/or ethylene urea derivatives thereof. The process includes reacting diethanolamine with an amine-functional compound that includes at least two —NH— units of which at least one is selected from the group of primary amine groups and cyclic secondary amine groups. The amine-functional compound includes at least one —NH—CH2-CH2-NH— unit wherein one or more —NH—CH2-CH2-NH— units in the amine-functional compound may be present in the form of cyclic ethylene urea moieties, piperazine moieties, or linear ethylene urea moieties, in the presence of a carbon oxide delivering agent.

Abstract: Urea derivatives, methods for preparing ethylene amines, and methods of polymer manufacturing are provided. An exemplary method for preparing ethylene amines with n ethylene units and n+1 amine groups wherein n is at least 4, or urea derivatives of said ethylene amines, includes reacting an ethanolamine-functional compound, an amine-functional compound, and a carbon oxide delivering agent, wherein the ethanolamine-functional compound is of the formula HO—(C2H4-NH-)qH, q is at least 1, the amine-functional compound is of the formula H2N—(C2H4-NH-)rH, r is at least 1, the sum q+r is at least 4 and wherein optionally one or more of the ethanol-amine functional compound or amine-functional compound are at least partly used as their cyclic carbamate derivative, or linear or cyclic urea derivative.

Abstract: Interactions with a trigger device and/or body motions, such as motions detected with an accelerometer, may be used to augment user input interaction with a mobile terminal. In one implementation, logic senses when a first trigger device enters close proximity to the mobile terminal. A command for the mobile terminal is then executed based on the trigger device. The trigger device may be, for example, integrated with jewelry or clothing.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product and a computer system for controlling the execution of an interruption routine for interrupting an active application. The computer system may include a first detector unit operable to detect if any application of multiple other applications is requesting interruption of the active application. Furthermore, the computer system may include a second detector unit operable to detect input data generated in response to a user interacting with the computer system. The computer system may also include a processing unit operable to execute a first sub-routine of the interruption routine when the input data has not been detected and a second sub-routine of the interruption routine when the input data has been detected. The execution of any interruption routine may be controlled in dependence of whether it is detected that input data has been generated in response to a user interacting with the computer system.
