Abstract: A low earth orbit (LEO) satellite including a processor, a memory, and a communication sub-system. The communication sub-system including: an antenna array and a reconfigurable digital logic processing device. The processor dynamically reconfigures the reconfigurable digital logic processing device to amplify or attenuate transmissions received from one or more directions of interest, or to amplify or attenuate signals transmitted by the antenna array in one or more directions of interest according to the orbital schedule of the LEO satellite.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing or neutralizing a carbon footprint of a security using carbon credit. A carbon footprint of at least one security may be calculated. A first amount of carbon credit necessary to neutralize the carbon footprint of the at least one security may be determined. A second amount of carbon credit may be acquired. A financial instrument having an at least partially neutralized carbon footprint may be generated by causing the at least one security and the second amount of carbon credit to be combined, e.g., in a trust.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for reducing or neutralizing a carbon footprint of a security using carbon credit. At least one security that is excluded from an investment fund may be determined. A carbon footprint of the at least one security may be calculated. A first amount of carbon credit necessary to neutralize the carbon footprint of the at least one security may be determined. A second amount of carbon credit may be purchased based on the act of calculating the first amount of carbon credit necessary to neutralize the carbon footprint. A financial instrument determined to have an at least partially neutralized carbon footprint may be generated by causing the at least one security and the second amount of carbon credit to be stored in a trust.

Abstract: Process for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons in a slurry reactor in the presence of a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst comprising cobalt and zinc oxide. The process is carried out by a) activating the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst with a reducing gas consisting of hydrogen and an inert gas at a temperature between 330 and 400° C., and b) contacting the activated Fischer-Tropsch catalyst from step a) with synthesis gas in the slurry reactor in order to convert the synthesis gas into hydrocarbons.

Abstract: Process for conversion of syngas to liquid hydrocarbons using a catalyst composition containing a support and a Fischer-Tropsch metal for the conversion of syngas to liquid hydrocarbons, in which a silylating compound modifier is added to the catalyst composition during catalyst preparation or during a post-treatment stage.

Abstract: Methods and corresponding system are provided herewith that, in at least one embodiment, include the act or acts of selecting a targeted investment fund from a plurality of investment funds; retrieving a filter associated with the targeted investment fund, in which the filter comprises one or more criteria for evaluating a security; generating a list of at least one targeted security, in which the at least one targeted security is excluded from the targeted investment fund based on the filter; calculating a carbon footprint of the targeted security; calculating an amount of carbon credit necessary to neutralize the carbon footprint; purchasing the amount of carbon credit; combining the targeted security with the amount of carbon credit in order to generated a rehabilitated security; and storing the rehabilitated security in a trust.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbons, in particular to hydrocarbons in the C5-C60 range particularly suitable for use as liquid motor fuels, in a slurry reactor in the presence of a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst comprising cobalt and zinc oxide wherein the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst is activated with a reducing gas consisting of hydrogen and an inert gas at 330 to 400° C. prior to contact with synthesis gas in the slurry reactor.

Abstract: Process for the conversion of synthesis gas to hydrocarbons, at least a portion of which are liquid at ambient temperature and pressure, by contacting the synthesis gas at an elevated temperature and pressure with a suspension comprising a particulate Fischer-Tropsch catalyst suspended in a liquid medium, in a reactor system comprising at least one high shear mixing zone and a reactor vessel. The process comprises passing the suspension and synthesis gas through the high shear mixing zone(s) where the synthesis gas is broken down into gas bubbles and/or irregularly shaped gas voids; discharging suspension having gas bubbles and/or irregularly shaped gas voids dispersed therein from the high shear mixing zone(s) into the reactor vessel; and introducing a liquid coolant into the reactor system.
