Abstract: A process for the industrial isolation of propene from a gas stream comprising at least propene and propane, which involves contacting of the gas stream with an adsorbent having a porous metal organic framework having at least one at least bidentate organic compound coordinated to at least one metal ion, with the adsorbent becoming laden with propane and the gas stream therefore having an increased proportion of propene, wherein the W least bidentate organic compound is an imidazolate which is unsubstituted or has one or more substituents selected independently from of halogen, C1-6-alkyl, phenyl, NH2, NH(C1-6-alkyl), N(C1-6-alkyl)2, OH, O-phenyl and O—C1-6-alkyl.

Abstract: String-oriented web queries are utilized as a tool to examine the fabric of how words, phrases and/or n-grams alternate in a language. This fabric is exploited in order to build up a matrix of semantically equivalent pieces of language. In one embodiment, the Distributional Hypothesis is utilized, along with strategies for confirming synonymy, to systematically build up a picture of what words/phrases can be legitimately substituted for one another.

Abstract: An improved adsorbent useful in removing contaminants from various hydrocarbon streams comprises a zeolite, an alumina and an added metal component provided in the adsorbent by initially contacting primarily the zeolite with the added metal. In a specific application, an adsorbent comprising sodium-impregnated zeolite Y and alumina is used to purify an ethylene stream in order to remove CO2, H2S, methanol, and other S- and O-containing compounds.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for checking grammar and usage using a flexible portfolio of different mechanisms, and automatically providing a variety of different examples of standard usage, selected from analogous Web content. The system can be used for checking the grammar and usage in any application that involves natural language text, such as word processing, email, and presentation applications. The grammar and usage can be evaluated using several complementary evaluation modules, which may include one based on a trained classifier, one based on regular expressions, and one based on comparative searches of the Web or a local corpus. The evaluation modules can provide a set of suggested alternative segments with corrected grammar and usage. A followup, screened Web search based on the alternative segments, in context, may provide several different in-context examples of proper grammar and usage that the user can consider and select from.

The method includes generating a context model and applying the context model to determine whether the given paraphrase alternation pattern can be applied to the input string so as to preserve meaning.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for selectively applying a paraphrase alternation pattern to a textual input. The system includes a pattern identification component for processing a collection of data and identifying a plurality of potentially applicable paraphrase alternation patterns. A context model provides an objective frame of reference in which to compare one or more of the plurality of potentially applicable paraphrase alternation patterns to the textual input to determine whether the pattern can be applied without changing meaning. A language model provides a principled basis for determining the boundaries of the text segment to be modified.

Abstract: The effective pore diameter of ETS-4 can be controlled without thermal treatment by selecting various combinations of cations to exchange into ETS-4. The effect that any cation mixture has on the ETS-4 can be reduced to the weighted average of the effects of each cation present.

Abstract: A corpus is provided of language usage by non-native users of the language. Characteristics of the corpus are measured and used to create a language usage classifier for indicating non-native usage of the language. Once the language usage classifier is created, a natural language input may be entered, and the characteristics thereof measured. These characteristics are then compared with the indicators of non-native usage, thereby detecting non-native usage. The evaluation of non-native usage may be used as a versatile foundation to enhance a wide variety of tools and applications dealing with user interaction in languages other than their native language.
