Abstract: The present disclosure involves application of heterogeneous hydrogen donors (DHH) or solid hydrogen transfer agents (SHTA) prepared from a polymer with units containing the structure of naphthalene, phenanthrene or anthracene, which can be supported, anchored or in physical mixture with metal oxides such as alumina, silica, titania or kaolin and/or mixture of them, to be used in beds combined with an ULSD or non-ULSD HDS catalyst, to obtain ultra-low sulfur diesel in cuts and/or streams derived from petroleum and/or a mixture thereof, such as SRGO, kerosine, jet fuel, naphtha, etc. The SHTA of the present disclosure provide an additional amount of hydrogen atoms facilitating the removal of refractory sulfur compounds in the HDS process.

Abstract: Provided are methods and apparatus for scheduling automated information delivery to a user device. In examples, provided are computer-implemented methods for scheduling automated information delivery to a user device. At least a portion of the methods can be performed by a computing device including a processor. The methods can include (i) receiving, automatically via an application programming interface executed by the processor, information describing characteristics of potential hotel guests, characteristics of a hotel, and user input describing characteristics of an advertising campaign, (ii) creating, using a machine learning algorithm, advertising campaign information including instructions configured to direct an Internet search website to automatically display advertisements for the hotel that accompany search results, and (iii) sending the instructions to a server device configured automatically cause the advertisements for the hotel to be displayed on the user device.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for the production, moderation and configuration of a neutron beam, comprising: an inlet opening (1) through which a proton beam is directed; a target (2) against which the proton beam is accelerated in order to generate neutrons; a moderator (3) to bring the neutrons to energies of the epithermal range; a reflective cover (4) surrounding the moderator (3); a filtration stage (5); an outlet opening (6) for the neutron beam, and a shield (7) to suppress the neutrons and gamma-radiation that do not exit the device via said outlet opening. The filtration stage (5) comprises at least three layers to filter respectively: rapid neutrons, thermal neutrons and gamma-radiation The invention is of use in neutron capture therapies, and more specifically, in boron therapies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a formulation or composition for the treatment, repair, formation or regeneration of bone tissue in a subject, comprising Histatin-1 or its derivatives. The present invention also relates to a biomaterial comprising Histatin-1 or its derivatives in a biocompatible material, and a method for the treatment, repair, formation or regeneration of bone tissues in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of Histatin-1 or its derivatives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the process for preparing improved solid hydrogen transfer agents obtained from a polymer with units containing the structure of naphthalene, phenanthrene or anthracene, which exhibit activity as hydrogen transfer agents in any chemical reduction reaction involving the breaking of double bonds and in treatment, hydrotreatment and hydrodisintegration reactions of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils and of cuts and currents derived therefrom. These improved solid hydrogen transfer agents can be supported and not supported on metal oxides such as boehmite, alumina, silica, titania, kaolin and/or mixture thereof, in the presence of reducing agents such as hydrogen, methane, or natural gas.

Abstract: This invention reveals a method for synthesizing a hydrotreating catalyst wherein the support is prepared by mixing of peptized alumina with an amorphous silica or crystalline aluminum silicate as one component of the catalyst. The catalyst comprises a group VI metal and/or a group VIII metal of the periodic table. The catalyst exhibits improved hydrocracking, hydrodesulfurization and hydrodemetallization activities and has a relatively stable life with time on stream. Thus, the invention concerns a method for developing a catalyst for hydroprocessing of heavy hydrocarbon feedstocks which is characterized by two steps: the first step consists of the optimization of a catalyst formulation with respect to the textural properties, number of acid sites, active metal incorporation. The second step consists of the evaluation with real feedstock and catalyst stability with time-on-stream.

Abstract: A system and method for an approach of detecting faults in a redundant bus system based upon four timers.

Abstract: A stationery article for the preservation of documents has a body, a sheet affixed directly to the lower edge and the site edge of the body so as to define a pocket, and a trapezoidal-shape fastening element having an upper portion adhered directly of the first panel at a location inwardly of the upper edge of the first panel. The fastening element has a lower portion biased toward and free of the generally planar surface of the first panel and flexibly movable away from the generally planar surface. The fastening element is suitable for holding an upper portion of the documents against the generally planar surface.

Abstract: A system and method for an approach of detecting faults in a redundant bus system based upon four timers.

Abstract: This invention refers to articles for the preservation of documents, of the type of portfolios, portfolios of rings or fastening portfolios or similar, that have lapels or pockets in one or both of their internal surfaces and in which a device or fastening element maintains in its place and protected the documents in its interior.

Abstract: An approach for monitoring interaction between individuals engaged in a communication session is disclosed. The individuals are described herein as a customer service representative and a customer and the communication session is accomplished over a communication network. Audio data embodying the communication session is copied and stored to a media file in conjunction with video data captured by a video capture device monitoring the customer service representative. The media file is a data structure in which the audio data and the video data are stored in segmented fashion. Each segment of audio data is associated with a segment of video data based on a common time reference, thereby providing synchronized documentation of the communication session. The media file is stored on a database and available to a supervisor using a server computer to monitor the communication session for quality assurance or other evaluation purposes.

Abstract: A cleaning compound and applicator pad for cleansing the covers of headlights and taillights on automobiles. This cleansing compound is substantially non-abrasive and is a composition of kerosene, coco fatty acid diethanol amide, aluminum oxide, ammonia solution, water, white silice and hydrated calcium. The compound is contained upon an applicator pad. The compound and pad are used to remove the opaque yellowish film which result on the surface covering of headlights and taillights which appears after years of accumulating particles of smog, dirt and weathering.
