  • Publication number: 20200190613
    Abstract: A method and its related plant for the thermal treatment of iron containing oxide, in which fine-grained solids are heated in a preheating calcining stage and are exposed to a reduction gas in a subsequent reduction stage. Off-gas from the reduction stage is guided through a separation device wherein the water originating from the reduction stage is separated. The off-gas from the preheating calcining stage is guided through a venturi scrubber and a packed bed section downstream of the venturi scrubber to condense water vapor.

  • Publication number: 20200165129
    Abstract: The invention relates to a highly reactive, high-purity, free-flowing and dust-free lithium sulfide powder having an average particle size between 250 and 1,500 ?m and BET surface areas between 1 and 100 m2/g. The invention, furthermore, relates to a process for its preparation, wherein in a first step, lithium hydroxide monohydrate is heated in a temperature-controlled unit to a reaction temperature between 150° C. and 450° C. in the absence of air, and an inert gas is passed over or through it, until the residual water of crystallization content of the formed lithium hydroxide is less than 5 wt. % and in a second step, the anhydrous lithium hydroxide formed in the first step is mixed, overflowed or traversed by a gaseous sulfur source from the group consisting of hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, carbon disulfide, mercaptans or sulfur nitrides.

  • Publication number: 20200113850
    Abstract: Provided are processes for the prevention or treatment of viral infection in a subject. Some aspects provide administration of a sphingoid compound, optionally sphingosine, an active ingredient that activates generation of a sphingoid base, optionally of sphingosine; or an active agent that inhibits the degradation of a sphingoid base, optionally of sphingosine, to a subject such as a human. By increasing the local concentration of sphingosine in a subject or an area of a subject to which the composition is administered such as the nose or interior of the nose or portion thereof, the ability of viruses to infect the subject or cells thereof is reduced thereby treating of preventing infection by the virus.

  • Patent number: 9647847
    Abstract: Various techniques are described to protect secrets held by closed computing devices. In an ecosystem where devices operate and are offered a wide range of services from a service provider, the service provider may want to prevent users from sharing services between devices. In order to guarantee that services are not shared between devices, each device can be manufactured with a different set of secrets such as per device identifiers. Unscrupulous individuals may try to gain access to the secrets and transfer secrets from one device to another. In order to prevent this type of attack, each closed computing system can be manufactured to include a protected memory location that is tied to the device.

  • Patent number: 9496545
    Abstract: A particulate lithium metal/lithium sulfide composite material, to a method for producing a Li2S@C-coated lithium metal product, and to the use of said lithium metal product. The particulate lithium metal/lithium sulfide composite material has a core-shell morphology, the shell of which is made of a lithium sulfide containing C and the core of which is made of metal lithium. According to the method, the particulate lithium metal/lithium sulfide composite material is produced by reacting melted, drop-shaped lithium metal in a hydrocarbon solvent with a sulfur source selected from the group CS2, S8, H2S, COS, SO, SO2 or mixtures thereof. The method products according to the invention are used to produce lithium battery electrodes.

  • Patent number: 8726042
    Abstract: Various mechanisms are disclosed for protecting the security of memory in a computing environment. A security layer can have an encryption layer and a hashing layer that can dynamically encrypt and then dynamically hash sensitive information, as it is being loaded to dynamic memory of a computing device. For example, a memory unit that can correspond to a memory page can be processed by the security layer, and header data, code, and protect-worthy data can be secured, while other non-sensitive data can be left alone. Once such information is secured and stored in dynamic memory, it can be accessed at a later time by a processor and unencrypted and hash checked. Then, it can be loaded back onto the dynamic memory, thereby preventing direct memory access attacks.

  • Patent number: 8661234
    Abstract: An individualized per device initialization of a computing device is unique relative to the initialization of other computing devices. A common initialization program, common to all computing devices of a particular type such as a game console, may be modified to be unique for each computing device. Modification may comprise the application of at least one individualized per device secret, e.g., key, to at least a portion of the common initialization program such as at least one initialization stage. Initialization is tied to one or more device specific identities. In this way, initialization vulnerabilities discovered on a particular device cannot be exploited en masse on other computing devices because each initialization program stored in each computing device is unique. The device specific nature of the initialization program may be extended to other information input to the computing device in order to prevent unauthorized sharing of information with other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 8656190
    Abstract: A one-time-settable tamper resistant software repository may be used in any computing system to store system information such as security violations and policies for responding to them. A one-time-settable tamper resistant software repository may be cryptographically signed, encrypted with a per device key and accessible by only the most privileged software executed by a computing device, e.g., hypervisor or operating system kernel. A one-time-settable tamper resistant software repository may be mirrored in RAM for performance. Recordable event fields in a software repository may be one-time-settable without the ability to reset them in a field operation mode whereas they may be resettable in a different mode such as a manufacturing mode.
