  • Publication number: 20240236050
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for building and using a multi-party Attestation Model for controlling operation of a multi-tenant cloud infrastructure which includes providing a trusted execution environment (TEE) within the multi-tenant cloud infrastructure, receiving a set of requirements from each of a plurality of tenants of the multi-tenant cloud infrastructure, building an Attestation Model according to the sets of requirements, and deploying the Attestation Model within the TEE. In response to a determination that a change does not satisfy the Attestation Model for each of the plurality of tenants, a function is performed to separate components shared between tenants for which the change satisfies the Attestation Model from components shared between tenants for which the change does not satisfy the Attestation Model, and the change is deployed on the multi-tenant cloud infrastructure for the tenants for which the change satisfies the Attestation Model.

  • Patent number: 11897769
    Abstract: A process for producing syngas that uses the syngas product from an oxygen-fired reformer to provide all necessary heating duties, which eliminates the need for a fired heater. Without the flue gas stream leaving a fired heater, all of the carbon dioxide produced by the reforming process is concentrated in the high-pressure syngas stream, allowing essentially complete carbon dioxide capture.

  • Publication number: 20230374181
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method of a BOPP film stiffening agent, including: taking cyclopentadiene or a derivative thereof and a norbornene monomer or C8 cycloolefin as a polymerization raw material, obtaining a polymerization resin liquid by continuous high-temperature polymerization, then preparing high-softening-point aliphatic hydrogenation petroleum resin through two-stage catalytic hydrogenation reaction and removing low-boiling-point light components and solvents; and then obtaining the BOPP film stiffening agent by mixing and extruding with homo-polypropylene. The stiffening agent prepared by the present invention has a very good anti-dissolution performance and environmental protection performance which is suitable for modification of a BOPP cigarette film, and has good market application prospects.

  • Publication number: 20230331549
    Abstract: A process for producing syngas that uses the syngas product from a partial oxidation reactor to provide all necessary heating duties, which eliminates the need for a fired heater. Soot is removed from the syngas using a dry filter to avoid a wet scrubber quenching the syngas stream and wasting the high-quality heat. Without the flue gas stream leaving a fired heater, all of the carbon dioxide produced by the reforming process is concentrated in the high-pressure syngas stream, allowing essentially complete carbon dioxide capture.
