  • Publication number: 20250108329
    Abstract: Processes for selectively removing NOx from various gaseous streams are described. The gaseous streams, include, but are not limited to, hydrocarbon process streams, ammonia combustion gas streams, flue gas streams, cement kiln gas streams, and the like. The processes involve contacting the gaseous stream containing NOx with a catalyst in the presence of H2. The NOx is converted to N2 and H2O. The purified gaseous stream has less NOx less than the level of NOx in the gaseous stream. The catalyst consists essentially of metallic copper on a support with optionally Cu2O, CuO, ZrO2, ZnO, TiO, CeO2, NiO, or combinations thereof.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a portable electronic device including a frame body supporting electronic components and a stand mechanism. The stand mechanism includes a foot, and an activator. The foot includes a foot support and a foot shaft including a foot guide path. The activator includes an engaging element, and the engaging element is received by the foot guide path. A portion of the foot guide path extends at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the foot shaft. When the activator engages a surface, the engaging element of the activator moves along the portion of the foot guide path at the angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the foot shaft causing the foot support to rotate from a stored position to a deployed position.

  • Patent number: 12267428
    Abstract: A mobile device performs authentication with blinded tokens and swaps its international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value. For authentication with blinded tokens, the mobile device generates a blinded token and provides it to a server to encrypt. To redeem the token, the mobile device unblinds the encrypted blinded token and provides it to the server along with a public key. To complete authentication, the mobile device receives, from the server, a nonce encrypted with the public key and decrypts the nonce with a private key. For swapping its IMSI value, the mobile device retrieves two eSIM profiles with corresponding IMSI values and configures the first of the two profiles as active. In response to a trigger, the mobile device changes the active profile from the first to the second, swaps the first IMSI value with a new IMSI value, and changes the active profile back to the first profile.

  • Patent number: 12267333
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a telemetry hub, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing a telemetry hub that obtains sensor data from a plurality of sources and that determines one or more first actions to take in response to receiving the first sensor data. In operation, a telemetry hub might receive first sensor data from one or more sensors. The telemetry hub may determine whether the first sensor data can be trusted and whether the first sensor data is valid. Based on a determination that the first sensor data can be trusted and is valid, the telemetry hub might analyze the first sensor data to determine one or more first actions to take. The telemetry hub might then implement the one or more first actions based at least in part on the analysis of the first sensor data.

  • Patent number: 12267709
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some aspects, two devices may support signaling and messaging designs that support bandwidths that are greater than 160 MHz for ranging null data packets (NDPs). For example, various signaling and messaging designs may support a use of a 320 MHz bandwidth for ranging NDPs as part of a ranging measurement procedure, which may offer greater resolution than narrower bandwidths. The signaling and messaging designs may include one or more updates for a null data packet announcement (NDPA) frame, for a trigger frame, for session negation messages (such as one or both of an initial fine timing measurement (IFTM) frame and an IFTM request (IFTMR) frame), for segmentation techniques for ranging NDPs, or for any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 12264500
    Abstract: An example trim generally includes an escutcheon, an indicator plate, a cam, and a backplate. The indicator plate is movably mounted in the escutcheon, and has a first position in which a first indicium is aligned with an escutcheon window of the escutcheon, and a second position in which a second indicium is aligned with the escutcheon window. The cam is rotatably mounted in the escutcheon for rotation between a first handing orientation and a second handing orientation. The cam is operable to move the indicator plate between the first position and the second position when the cam is in each of the handing orientations. The backplate is coupled to the escutcheon and at least partially encloses the indicator plate within the escutcheon. The cam is operable to rotate between the first handing orientation and the second handing orientation while the backplate remains coupled to the escutcheon.
