Abstract: Hydrocarbon composition plays vital role in fuel quality. For gasoline/motor spirit applications the hydrocarbon should have more octane-possessing molecules from the groups of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins, while n-paraffins are not preferred due to their poor octane. Among the high-octane groups, again aromatics occupy the top but not more than 35 vol % aromatics can be mixed in gasoline for engine applications to avoid harmful emission, But there is no single process that addresses so far the issue of co-producing all the desired hydrocarbon components in a single process. Thus, it is interesting to have a single once-through process working on single catalyst system to produce mixture of all three high-octane molecules namely, aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins directly from low-value, low-octane n-paraffin feed. Herein, we report a novel single-step catalytic process for the simultaneous production of aromatics, naphthenics and isoparaffins for gasoline and petrochemical applications.

Abstract: Reducing power consumption of communication interfaces by clock frequency scaling and adaptive interleaving of polling is disclosed. In a first aspect, a control system controls transmission of a command via a serial interface at a higher clock frequency. After transmission, the control system and the interface are operated at a lower clock frequency to save power during command execution. In this aspect, a reduction in polling corresponds to the reduction in clock signal frequency. When the command is complete, the interface is operated at the higher frequency to send another command. In a second aspect, after the control system sends a command to the receiving device, polling is suspended and an execution time of the command is tracked. Polling begins when the tracked execution time almost equals an expected completion time. Both aspects disclosed above may be implemented to reduce power consumption in exchange for a small increase in latency.

Abstract: A system receives a login sample. The login sample is decomposed into first and second layers. A verification media sample is decomposed into first and second layers. The system determines that the first layer of the login sample does not match the first layer of the verification sample, that the second layer of the login sample does not match the second layer of the verification sample, or both. First and second critical portions are extracted from the login sample. A first and second login hash are generated from the first and second critical portions. A first and second ledger hash are retrieved from a blockchain ledger. It's determined that the first login hash does not match the first ledger hash, the second login hash does not match the second ledger hash, or both. The user is flagged.

Abstract: A system receives a media sample. The system then identifies a critical portion of the media sample. The media sample is split into a verification sample comprising the critical portion of the media sample. The verification sample is decomposed into a first and second layer. A first hash value is generated based on the first layer by applying a hash function to a first code element from the verification sample. A second hash value is generated based on the second layer by applying the hash function to a second code element from the verification sample. A blockchain transaction is generated comprising a profile associated with the user. The transaction is stored as a block in a blockchain ledger.

Abstract: A system includes a database, a memory, and a processor. The database stores a set of transactions, each of which includes a set of fields. The processor receives a query from a user through a channel. The query is directed to a transaction stored in the database. The transaction includes a set of fields. The processor applies a machine learning policy adapted to determine a view, i.e., a subset of the set of fields that the user is likely to access using the channel. The processor further accesses the database and retrieves the view. The processor then sends the view to the channel.
