Abstract: As part of generating a digital catalog, a creative professional interacts with digital content via a user interface to specify an arrangement of the digital content in relation to each other. This is used by a digital layout creation system to generate a layout block that is to serve as a basis for digital catalog entries in the digital catalog. As part of arranging the digital content, the digital layout creation system generates metadata automatically and without user intervention in real time that specifies the arrangement of the digital content and what digital content is associated as part of that arrangement. Once a desired arrangement is achieved by the creative professional, an input is received by the digital layout creation system to create a layout block that is used as a basis to generate digital catalog entries of a digital catalog.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a jacketed metal line is detailed herein. The method of manufacturing a jacketed metal line can include roughening an outer surface of a metal core of the line. An insulating polymer layer can be applied to the metal core, and the insulating polymer layer can include a reinforcing additive comprising: graphite, carbon, glass, aramid, short-fiber filled PolyEtherEtherKetone, mircron-sized polytetrafluoroethylene, or combinations thereof. The roughened metal core can then be exposed a heat source for at least partially melting the polymer layer; and the partially melted polymer layer and insulated roughened metal core can be ran through a set of shaping rollers.

Abstract: Described herein are solid acid catalysts and the methods for catalytically preparing ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acids and/or esters thereof. In one aspect, a zeolite catalyst may be used. The catalyst may, in certain embodiments, be modified to improve the selectivity and/or conversion of a reaction. For instance, a catalyst may be modified by ion exchange to achieve a desirable acidity profile in order to achieve high level of conversion of reactants and selectivity for desirable products of the catalytic reaction. In another aspect, a variety of feed stocks (e.g., starting compositions) may be used including an ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid, an ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid ester, a ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid, a ?-hydroxycarboxylic acid ester, cyclic esters thereof (e.g., lactide), and combinations thereof.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an asset integration service establishes a communication session between a design application and a client device for accessing source graphical assets from a web server executing a content management service. The integration service receives, during the communication session and via a design interface from the design application, a request to add a source graphical asset to a document displayed on the client device. The integration service retrieves, responsive to the request, a placement graphical asset that is a lower-resolution copy of the source graphical asset and updates the design interface to include the placement graphical asset. The integration service associates the placement graphical asset with a network link for accessing the source graphical asset via the content management service.

Abstract: In one or more implementations, a digital medium environment includes at least one computing device. Systems and techniques are described herein for inserting linked text fragments in a document layout of a document. By supporting multiple linked text fragments within a text frame, of both constant content and variable content, content of an asset is inserted into a text fragment while preserving the styling attributes of the text frame. Thus, manual efforts associated with reapplying styling attributes are avoided, unlike systems that do not distinguish between text fragments with constant content and text fragments with variable content within a text frame. Furthermore, a user interface is generated that exposes metadata of assets and a document layout. Content of an asset exposed via the user interface, once selected, is inserted into the document layout and exposed as a tagged text fragment, indicating the content is linked.

Abstract: A technique for manufacturing slickline with a jacket of enhanced bonding. The technique may include roughening an outer surface of a metal core and applying an initial insulating polymer layer to the roughened core in a non-compression manner such as by tubing extrusion. The insulated core may then be heated and run through a set of shaping rollers. Thus, the grip between the polymer and the underlying metal core may be enhanced at a time following the initial placement of the polymer on the core. In this manner, processing damage to the underlying core surface which might adversely affect maintaining the grip may be minimized. Other techniques such as powder spray delivery of the initial polymer layer may also be utilized in a similar manner.

In the first stage of the present invention, bio-1,3-propanediol is derived from renewable carbon sources through microbial fermentation. In the second stage of the present invention, bio-1,3-propanediol is converted into bio-acrylic acid or bio-acrylonitrile or bio-1,4-butanediol.

Abstract: This present invention relates to the processes for the purification of succinic acid from a fermentation broth containing ammonium succinate. The process for the purification of succinic acid described in this invention involves the use of ion exchange resins for splitting the ammonium succinate in the fermentation broth. During the passage of the fermentation broth through a cationic ion exchange resin, the ammonium succinate is split into ammonium cation and the succinate anion. The proton on the resin surface is exchanged for the ammonium ions and the succinate anion is reduced to succinic acid with the protons released from the ion exchange resin. The bound ammonium is released from the resin with the addition of a strong acid such as sulfuric acid and thereby the ion exchange resin is regenerated for subsequent use. The ammonium sulfate by-product resulting from the regeneration step of this process can be used as a source of fertilizer.

Abstract: This invention relates to the operation of a biorefinery for manufacturing either biofuels or renewable chemical feedstock using lignocellulosic biomass as a source of carbon. The present invention provides a cost-effective process for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass in the recovery of fermentable sugars. More specifically, the present invention describes an integrated approach for efficiently recovering and using six-carbon and five-carbon sugars along with value-added oligosaccharides such as xylooligosaccahrides from lignocellulosic biomass so that the cost of manufacturing biofuels and renewable chemical feedstock is substantially lowered.

In some reaction pathways, dehydroxylation reactions and esterification reactions may be performed sequentially or concurrently.
