  • Publication number: 20220095790
    Abstract: A modular closet system provides reconfigurable closet capacity and an appearance of a customized closet in any of the configurations. The system includes at least two sideframes cooperating to define a space therebetween creating a closet module when assembled. A series of through holes on an inside surface of the sideframes are used to attach a variety of storage devices from the system's sides, which may be re-positioned by user design. When assembled, any of the fasteners used to attach the storage devices are hidden from a front view perspective of the system. Once assembled, the perimeter of the storage devices cooperates with the frames to block the view of the fasteners. Some embodiments may extend closet capacity by including a hanging rod system that connects two frame modules together via the through hole system on respective closet modules, which when assembled also blocks the view of any fasteners.

  • Patent number: 7249380
    Abstract: A W3 Trust Model is described for evaluating trust and transitivity of trust of online services. By introducing a set of trust attributes for each web document, the W3 Trust Model combines a vertically trusted public key infrastructure with a horizontal referral web classification. It provides a mechanism to assess both the trust and the transitivity of trust of web contents in a heterogeneous environment. The trust attributes are categorized in three categories: a first category which relates to contents of the web document, a second category which relates to owner of the web document, and a third category which relates to relationships of the web document and certificate authorities.

  • Patent number: 6495028
    Abstract: A process for catalytic conversion of hydrocarbon feedstock to produce isobutane and isoparaffin-enriched gasoline which comprises two different reactions, the preheated feedstock is contacted with hot regenerated catalyst in the lower part of a reactor with the result that catalytic cracking reaction takes place, and the mixture of vapors and the coke deposited catalyst are up-flowed and enter into a suitable reaction environment with the result that isomerization and hydrogen transfer reaction take place. The produced LPG has an isobutane content of about 20 wt % to about 40 wt % and the produced gasoline contains isoparaffin content of about 30 wt % to about 45 wt % and olefin content of less than 30 wt %. RON and MON of the gasoline are 90˜93 and 80˜84 respectively.
