  • Patent number: 9982142
    Abstract: This invention relates to a zinc-rich epoxy anti-corrosion coating comprising a component A capable of being cured into a film, and a component B containing a curing agent, wherein the component A comprises, by mass percentage, 0.1-5 wt % graphene, 0-35 wt % zinc powder, 30-70 wt % filler, 10-20 wt % epoxy resin having 54 wt % solid content, and 10-20 wt % solvent, wherein the sum of the mass percentage contents of the graphene, zinc powder and filler is 60-80 wt % and the sum of the mass percentage contents of all components of component A is 100 wt %. According to the present invention, the addition of graphene to an anti-corrosion coating decreases the thickness of the coating film, reduces the amount of zinc powder while increases the anti-corrosion effect. It reduces zinc oxide vapour generated during welding and is environmentally friendly.

  • Publication number: 20160182657
    Abstract: A method and apparatus capable of identifying a unique user across multiple devices in a computer network are provided. Device-specific and behavioral features associated with an event and a device are extracted. The device-specific features form a device signature associated the device. Hardware mobile device identifiers (IDs) are also associated with mobile application devices. Over a period of time, the behavioral features of such devices are monitored. Similarity scores between various devices are calculated based on the behavioral features and device types. The devices in the computer network are clustered and a device graph is generated representing the connections between the devices based on the similarity scores. A unique user ID associated with the multiple devices is generated from the device graph.

  • Publication number: 20140209479
    Abstract: A wastewater treatment system and method for remediating wastewater and human waste that is self-contained and that has no connection to a municipal wastewater system and no connection to an electrical grid. The domestic toilet and wastewater treatment system can be powered by a photovoltaic panel as a source of electricity. The system includes an electrochemical cell that allows a waste stream to be disinfected in a few hours to a condition where no viable bacterial colonies can be cultured. The system produces a liquid stream that is suitable for system flushing or for uses in which non-potable water is acceptable. The system can generate hydrogen as a product that can be used to generate power. The system can generate nitrate, urea, ammonia and phosphate for use as fertilizer. The disinfected residual organic solids are also completely disinfected for potential use as an organic soil amendment for agriculture.

  • Publication number: 20080294425
    Abstract: A method of changing semantic information comprises changing a first bi-directional coupling between a surface region in a document and a first semantic object to a second bi-directional coupling between the surface region and a second semantic object. More particularly, the method may be comprised of identifying an occurrence of a surface region in a document, the surface region having a first link for coupling the surface region to a first semantic object, and the first semantic object having a first association for coupling the first semantic object with the surface region. The first link is replaced with a second link for coupling the surface region to a second semantic object. The first association is changed to a second association for coupling the second semantic object with the surface region. Another method for changing semantic information comprising selecting a semantic object stored in a data repository and changing the selected semantic object.

  • Publication number: 20080294426
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the recording and maintenance of semantic elements in electronically-held information objects provide for grounding semantic objects in an ontology, such that inheritance and other relations between concepts are preserved in persistent storage. The disclosed method and apparatus provide semantic document authors with a means to anchor concept references to specific, persistent, semantic objects, thereby providing the system with access to all properties of the underlying data model of the semantic objects being referenced, while also specifying the type and scope of their relations, as well as behavioral aspects of the visual and editing environment.
