Abstract: A popup video display system is provided, which includes a digital screen component in communication with a content feeding system for displaying content, and a structural component having a weighted base portion with at least a pair of tube openings spaced to receive prongs of a forklift, and a mounting portion connecting the digital screen to the weighted base. The weighted base provides sufficient ballast and stability that the system can be deployed in a freestanding fashion without physically connecting the base portion to a substrate or ground or floor surface. Methods of deploying a popup video display system by forklift or crane are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include processes for ring-opening of hydrocarbon species comprising aromatic and cycloparaffinic rings in hydrocarbon feeds to produce ring-opened products. In particular, the process comprises contacting hydrocarbon species comprising aromatic and cycloparaffinic rings with hydrogen in the presence of a ring-opening catalyst comprising a noble metal on a low-acidity crystalline material containing external pockets to facilitate ring-opening of the hydrocarbon species comprising aromatic and cycloparaffinic rings. The processes are useful in the transformation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to ring-opened products.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include processes for selective ring-opening of cycloparaffins in hydrocarbon feeds to produce hydrocracked cycloparaffins. In particular, the process comprises contacting a hydrocarbon feed comprising cycloparaffins with hydrogen and a catalyst comprising an unsulfided, low-acidity, metal-containing zeolite under hydrocracking conditions; wherein the metal is selected from the group consisting of platinum, nickel, rhodium and mixtures thereof. The processes are useful for upgrading petroleum streams to lubricant base stocks.

Abstract: A container is provided which is modified to operate for a secure business (e.g. a retail business for the sale of a restricted access product). The container has a first pair of opposing sides and a second pair of opposing sides with a first door leading into a security vestibule. A second door is provided from the security vestibule into a restricted access space (e.g. an interior retail space, in which a restricted access product is displayed and available for sale). A security checkpoint is provided in the security vestibule. The first door and the second door are offset from each other such that restricted access space is not visible to a visitor without passing the security checkpoint. A method of permitting access to a restricted access product for sale through a modified container is also provided.

Abstract: Processes for regenerating ionic liquid catalyst by contacting the ionic liquid catalyst with hydrogen gas in a regeneration reactor. The amount of hydrogen is less than 550 SCF/BBL (97.96 m3/m3) of spent ionic liquid catalyst, or less than 500 SCF/BBL (89.05 m3/m3) of spent ionic liquid catalyst, or between 550 and 45 SCF/BBL (97.96 and 8.015 m3/m3) of spent ionic liquid catalyst, or between 500 and 50 SCF/BBL (89.05 and 8.905 m3/m3) of spent ionic liquid catalyst. Alkylation processes are also disclosed.

Abstract: A server and method for providing a content selection is provided. The server receives content targeting parameters and obtains content items from at least one content site based on the content targeting parameters. The server can further identify content descriptors for the content items and generate a first content cluster from a subset of the content items based on the content descriptors. The server can further generate a second content cluster from a second subset of the content items based on the content descriptors and rank the first and the second content clusters in an order of usefulness. The ranking of the content clusters can be based on at least one of an importance of content, a recentness of the content items and a size of the content cluster.

Abstract: A digital communication system is disclosed, that allows a display of override content to interrupt a display of ongoing content on one or more display units. Ongoing content, such as advertisements, news, entertainment, or other relevant information, is provided on the display units until an urgent or security-related alert is required, and display of override content becomes necessary. Override content can include information relevant to the security of a passenger or passer-by viewing the display. Override content can relate to security threats such as accidents, major delays, fire, missing children, terrorist activity, or other content deemed adequately pertinent to warrant interrupting the display of ongoing content.

Abstract: A retail establishment advertising system and method are disclosed. They allow a display of special content to interrupt a display of ongoing content on one or more display units. Ongoing content, such as advertisements, news, entertainment, or other relevant information, is provided on the display units until an urgent or security-related alert is required, and display of override content becomes necessary. Special content can include information relevant to specially discounted items or to security alert messages pertaining to, for example, security threats such as accidents, major delays, fire, missing children, terrorist activity, or other content deemed adequately pertinent to warrant interrupting the display of ongoing content.
