  • Publication number: 20250122135
    Abstract: A process is provided for treating a stream comprising light olefins and carbon monoxide by passing the stream through a bed containing a copper containing material. The carbon monoxide needs to be removed in order to prevent poisoning of catalysts in downstream oligomerization reactors. This carbon containing material converts the carbon monoxide and hydrogen to carbon dioxide and water. The olefin stream is then dried and sent to an oligomerization step. There may be three beds so that the beds may alternate regeneration, reaction with CO and H2 and scavenging O2 steps.

  • Patent number: 10541731
    Abstract: A method for Near Field Communication (NFC) based interactions can be implemented by a device when it is placed near an NFC tag and receives an electromagnetic signal associated with the NFC tag. The device retrieves the identifier of the NFC tag from the electromagnetic signal and, based on the identifier, the device can generate a first command. Furthermore, the device can identify a qualifying event, such as a predetermined orientation of the device. The device then generates a second command in response to the identification of the qualifying event. Each of the first and second command can cause a change in settings of the device, switching an operating mode of the device, activating/deactivating an application, enabling/disabling a feature of an application, and sending an instruction to a remote electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10263374
    Abstract: A modular electronic apparatus includes an electric box, an insert, and optionally one or more electric modules. The insert is configured to be inserted at least partially into an internal space of the electric box and connect to electric wires of a building. The insert is further configured to receive the electric modules such that they can be powered from the electric wires without directly connecting to them. The electric modules can engage with the insert and be easily replaceable without the need to reconnect the electric wires. Each of the electric modules can be one of the following: a programmable electric socket (“smart” socket), traditional electric socket, programmable electric switch (“smart” switch), traditional electric switch, dimmer, touch screen panel, speaker, personal computer, television device, lighting device, audio player, multimedia device, network hub, a router, and the like.
