  • Patent number: 11815307
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and a system for regenerating an endothermic salt composition from an aqueous solution thereof, said method comprising a) contacting a switchable-polarity compound with the aqueous solution of the endothermic salt composition to obtain a raffinate phase and an extract phase, wherein the raffinate phase comprises said endothermic salt composition in a higher concentration than said aqueous solution and said extract phase comprises the switchable-polarity compound and water; and b) separating the raffinate phase and the extract phase into a separated raffinate and a separated extract. The endothermic salt can be used in systems for cooling food, milk, medicines and/or air.

  • Publication number: 20230312347
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for molten metal pyrolysis of a feed comprising hydrocarbons and nitrogen and/or hydrogen sulphide to produce solid carbon and one or more of liquid sulfur, hydrogen gas and ammonia gas. The molten salt layer contains two reaction zones of different temperatures, a high temperature zone for pyrolysing the hydrocarbon and a low temperature zone for pyrolysing the hydrogen sulphide and/or forming the ammonia. Liquid salt is used to separate produced solid carbon and optionally the produced liquid sulphur from the molten metal and to facilitate isolation of produced carbon. The invention further relates to a reactor for performing the method according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 11537273
    Abstract: An online system presents a content item to users and receives selections of reaction icons from the users. The online system generates a background animation with the selected reaction icons and a foreground animation to be layered on top of the background animation. The online system sends the background and foreground animations to a client device to be cached. Further, the online system presents the content item to a viewing user associated with the client device and receives a selection of a reaction icon from the viewing user. The online system selects a subset of the users based on the viewing user's affinity to the users, retrieves images of the selected users, and send the images to the client device. The client device customizes the background and foreground animations based on the images and the viewing user's reaction icon to generate a compound animation for display to the viewing user.

  • Publication number: 20220143563
    Abstract: An apparatus (100) for mixing a fluid (F) comprises a mixing container (10) with a container wall (11) for holding the fluid (F). One or more acoustic transducers (21, 22) are arranged on the container wall (11) and configured to generate respective acoustic waves (W1, W2) directed into the fluid (F) for causing a respective flow pattern (F1, F2) in the fluid (F) by acoustic streaming. A controller (15) is configured to control the acoustic transducers (21, 22) to automatically switch between generation of different acoustic waves (W1, W2) for causing switching between different flow patterns (F1, F2).

  • Publication number: 20200099570
    Abstract: A method of processing alarm messages in a computer network includes receiving an alarm message generated by a node in the computer network and determining whether the alarm message falls within a dependency chain of a previous alarm message. In response to determining that the alarm message falls within the dependency chain of the previous alarm message, the method identifies an alarm group associated with the previous alarm message and determines an affinity of the alarm message to the alarm group. The alarm message is added to the alarm group based on the affinity of the alarm message to the alarm group.
