  • Publication number: 20250250596
    Abstract: Methods for the production of L-glufosinate (also known as phosphinothricin or (S)-2-amino-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphonoyl)butanoic acid) are provided. The methods comprise a two-step process. The first step involves the oxidative deamination of D-glufosinate to PPO (2-oxo-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl)butyric acid). The second step involves the specific amination of PPO to L-glufosinate, using an amine group from one or more amine donors. By combining these two reactions, the proportion of L-glufosinate in a mixture of L-glufosinate and D-glufosinate can be substantially increased.

  • Patent number: 12338129
    Abstract: A method of making a synthetic hectorite-type mineral is described, along with its resulting physical and rheological properties. The synthetic hectorite-type mineral is a 2:1 phyllosilicate essentially free of aluminum, and having a trioctahedral structure with Mg2+ and Li+ occupying octahedral sites. As a hydrogel, the synthetic hectorite-type mineral has a swell index of greater than 55 mL, and a yield point of greater than 290 Pa. The method of making uses a MgO/MgCO3 buffer system, with heating for about 2 hours at temperatures of no higher than 300° C. and pressures of no higher than 600 psi.

  • Publication number: 20250164191
    Abstract: Polymeric tube-in-shell heat exchangers with twisted tubes are provided. The heat exchanger may include one or more polymeric tube bundles, wherein each of the one or more polymeric tube bundles includes at least one tube twisted about its length or at least one pair of tubes twisted or wound around each other. The presently disclosed polymeric tube-in-shell heat exchangers with twisted tubes may be especially suited for applications where the use of polymer tubes offers advantages, such as in the case of acid solutions, food and beverage fluids, and carbon capture applications where the use of metal heat exchangers destroy the amines used for capture.

  • Publication number: 20250148185
    Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a system and method for automatic extraction of integrated circuit component data. In one embodiment, a method is provided for automatically extracting transistor data from a digital representation of an integrated circuit that comprises digitally defining at least one diffusion space corresponding to a respective spatial region of the IC that comprises at least one diffusion feature. For each discrete diffusion space, diffusion space circuit features that intersect with each diffusion feature are incrementally assessed by assigning a current state value to each diffusion space circuit feature based on an identified feature characteristic associated therewith and an identified feature characteristic of an electrically adjacent feature in the diffusion space.

  • Publication number: 20250139626
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for enabling a transaction bypass for a user-requested block on a merchant. The method involves receiving an authorization request message from a merchant, determining if the merchant is subject to an active block instruction, and verifying customer authentication information. If the authentication information is present and the merchant matches a block instruction, a transaction bypass message is generated and sent to the issuer. Based on the issuer's response, the active block may be removed or maintained. The method also allows for sending authentication data to the issuer for verification, and periodically receiving authorization requests from the merchant. Additional features include managing an authentication security threshold and sending status notifications to the merchant. The invention ensures secure transaction processing, providing flexible handling of user-requested merchant blocks based on customer authentication and issuer approval.

  • Publication number: 20250130489
    Abstract: Methods and systems for building a photomask from obtained pattern information relating to a photomask that exhibits defects on wafer. Spatial domain analysis is conducted on the pattern information so that corrective photomask structures can be generated and applied to a photomask layout. A photomask is built using the corrective photomask structures. The photomask is verified for effectiveness.
