  • Publication number: 20170332021
    Abstract: Technologies are provided for IR illumination through background lighting sources. Some examples are directed to as IR light source such as IR LEDs being interspersed with visible light sources (e.g., LEDs) in a light guide of a display. IR LED configuration and/or light extraction features of the light guide may be selected such that a desired IR illumination pattern (e.g., a more centralized or a more uniform pattern) can be achieved. In other examples, an activation (turning on/off) of the IR LEDs may be used to generate the desired IR illumination pattern. The IR LEDs may be driven by the same circuitry as the visible light LEDs or by dedicated drive circuitry. Furthermore, the IR LEDs may be activated in an interlaced form with the visible light LEDs (e.g., selected frames in a stream of frames) to provide the IR illumination while displaying content.

  • Publication number: 20170058211
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a process that employs glycerol and a catalyst for partial transformation of heavy petroleum oils to lighter hydrocarbon liquids under mild conditions without the need of external hydrogen gas. The process uses industrially produced glycerol to upgrade heavy crudes; hydrogenates aromatics to paraffin and/or olefins without the use of external hydrogen gas; operates at mild operating conditions; and employs inexpensive catalysts. This process is completely different from the hydroconversion process where high pressurized hydrogen gas is essential. The present process requires no pressurized hydrogen gas and can significantly reduce both operating and capital costs of the traditional hydrotreating process.
