  • Patent number: 12134087
    Abstract: A submicron-sized Pickering miniemulsion system stabilized by carbon quantum dots solid nanoparticles for biphasic catalysis is disclosed, which breaks the existing limits for homogenization of the immiscible biphasic system and overcomes the issues for big size of solid particles-stabilized emulsion droplets. A method for producing the carbon quantum dot-based catalysts and a process of establishing the Pickering miniemulsion system for biphasic reaction with enhanced catalytic efficiency are also disclosed. The carbon quantum dot-stabilized Pickering miniemulsion features a pH-responsive behavior, with a reversible transition between the emulsification and demulsification, triggering the easy & facile product separation and emulsifier/catalyst recycling in one reaction vessel.

  • Patent number: 11119647
    Abstract: A computer implemented method is disclosed. The method includes obtaining, by at least one processor, data of user interaction with an application in a user session in a given computing environment. The method further includes identifying a user gesture interacting with a user interface of the application on a screen of a computing device based on the data. The method further includes calculating a struggle factor score for the user gesture based on the data. The method further includes comparing the struggle factor score with a baseline value, wherein the baseline value is derived from historical information of past user sessions in a computer environment like the given computing environment. The method further includes determining that the user gesture indicates a user struggle in response to a determination that the struggle factor score is above the baseline value.
