  • Publication number: 20240141507
    Abstract: The present application discloses a uniquely-sited electrolysis plant for converting water to molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen. The electrolysis plant is powered by a renewable-energy generator. In the preferred embodiment, the renewable-energy generator is a solar-cell array, preferably perovskite-enhanced solar panels, and is located in or on a non-navigable body of water or a non-navigable portion of a body of water. The electrolysis plant supplies hydrogen to a nearby transportation refueling station and/or to a nearby industrial or commercial facility. In an embodiment of the invention, the renewable-energy generator is a wind turbine used instead of solar power to power the electrolysis plant.

  • Patent number: 11714924
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a non-volatile memory that may serve as both the main memory system and the backing store (or persistent storage). In some embodiments, the non-volatile memory is divided into a main memory portion and a persistent portion. Data in the main memory operation may be encrypted using one or more first keys, and data in the persistent portion may be encrypted using one or more second keys, in an embodiment. The volatile behavior of main memory may be implemented by discarding the one or more first keys in a power down event or other event that indicates a loss of main memory data, while the one or more second keys may be retained. In one embodiment, the physical address space of the non-volatile memory may be a mapping from a second physical address space that is used within the system.

  • Publication number: 20230075422
    Abstract: The present invention provides inhibitors of fucosylation during protein expression from mammalian cells. The inhibitors are derived from rhamnose and act by inhibition of GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD). The invention further provides methods of making proteins with reduced level of fucosylation, such as antibodies and antibodies made by the methods of the present invention. Such hypofucosylated or nonfucosylated antibodies may find use, for example, in treatment of human disease in which is it therapeutically eneficial to direct antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mediated killing of cells expressing the antibody target on their surface, for example in depletion of Tregs in cancer patients using a hypofucosylated or nonfucosylated anti-CTLA-4 antibody.

  • Publication number: 20220361974
    Abstract: A multi-layer, super-planar laminate structure can be formed from distinctly patterned layers. The layers in the structure can include at least one rigid layer and at least one flexible layer; the rigid layer includes a plurality of rigid segments, and the flexible layer can extend between the rigid segments to serve as a joint. The layers are then stacked and bonded at selected locations to form a laminate structure with inter-layer bonds, and the laminate structure is flexed at the flexible layer between rigid segments to produce an expanded three-dimensional structure, wherein the layers are joined at the selected bonding locations and separated at other locations. A layer with electrical wiring can be included in the structure for delivering electric current to devices on or in the laminate structure.

  • Patent number: 11307921
    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a data processing system comprising multiple independent processors to execute multiple operating system environments of the data processing system, the multiple operating system environments to enable operation of multiple regions of a computing device associated with the data processing system. The multiple operating system environments are interconnected via a transport agnostic communication link. In response to detection of a fatal error in one or more of the multiple operating system environments, the multiple operating system environments coordinate performance of multiple separate error handling operations within the multiple operating system environments to generate a combined error log. The combined error log includes operational states of the multiple operating system environments.
