Abstract: A heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system includes an air handling unit having an air handling unit outlet, and at least one zone having an inlet and an outlet. The at least one zone is operably coupled to the air handling unit outlet. A return air duct fluidly connecting the outlet to the air handling unit and at least one sterilization system arranged within the return air duct at or directly downstream from the outlet. At least one indoor air quality sensor operable to monitor an indoor air quality within the at least one zone. A controller is operably coupled to the at least one indoor air quality sensor and the at least one sterilization system. The controller is configured to operate the at least one sterilization system when the indoor air quality within the at least one zone exceeds an allowable threshold.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention facilitates financing in supply chain management (SCM). In one embodiment, one or more systems maintains in a blockchain, multiple transactions performed as part of the SCM. Upon a borrower sending a request for financial assistance to a financial entity, the financial entity is provided with a set of transactions (maintained in the blockchain) related to the borrower. The borrower receives a response indicating a decision on the request for financial assistance, the decision being based on at least some of the set of transactions provided to the financial entity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel phenonthroline based pincer complexes and process for preparation thereof. The present invention also provides a one pot process for the conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol in the presence of a molecularly defined pincer-type single-site Ru-catalyst and secondary amine. Further the present invention provides the use of phenonthroline based pincer complexes for the esterification of alcohols and hydrogenation of esters under mild conditions.

Abstract: A phosphorus ligand-free, mild, efficient and complete catalytic hydrogenation process is for the sustainable production of terminal diols from renewable terminal dialkyl esters with improved yield. Soluble, phosphorus ligand free Ru (II)-pincer type complexes can be used as catalysts in the hydrogenation process.
