Abstract:
A system and method for tracking performance of an action in an application is disclosed in which a link to perform the application action is transmitted to a client device. In response to receiving an indication of the selection of the link, the performance of the action in the application by the client device is detected. Based on the detected performance of the application action, reward data is associated with a user of the client device.
Abstract:
A lamp assembly includes an external lens, a one-piece bezel-lens structure, and one or more light sources. The one-piece bezel-lens structure is adjacent to the external lens and is formed from a light-transmissive material. The one-piece bezel-lens structure has one or more internal lens portions and one or more opaque portions. The opaque portions are coated with an opaque material. The light source emits light through the internal lens portion of the one-piece bezel-lens structure and the external lens.
Abstract:
An improved hydrotreating process for use with lube oil boiling range feedstreams utilizing a catalyst comprising a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation component selected from the Group VIII noble metals and mixtures thereof, a mesoporous support, and a binder.
Abstract:
An improved noble metal-containing catalyst containing a specific ratio of silica to aluminum in the framework suitable for use in the hydroprocessing of hydrocarbonaceous feeds, which is directed at a catalyst comprising a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation component selected from the Group VIII noble metals and mixtures thereof on a mesoporous support having aluminum incorporated into its framework and an average pore diameter of about 15 to less than about 40 Å.
Abstract:
A method of ex-situ activation and dry passivation of supported noble metal catalysts including the steps of reducing in the presence of hydrogen and dry passivation by cooling in an inert atmosphere and exposing to air or by filling the pores of the catalyst with a low sulfur oil before exposing to air.
Abstract:
An improved hydrogenation process for lube oil boiling range feedstreams utilizing a catalyst comprising at least one Group VIII noble metal selected from Pt, Pd, and mixtures thereof having an average pore diameter of about 15 to less than about 40 Å.
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel internal fixation devices, such as bone plates, generally and novel craniomaxillofacial bone plates more specifically and systems for bonding the same. More specifically, the invention relates to bone plates made of a polymer blend of (poly)lactic acid and Ecoflex as well as a novel hot-melt adhesive polymer blend of the same material.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method to form a noble metal catalyst including two noble metals alloy on a catalyst support. The steps include impregnating a first noble metal onto said catalyst support, and thereafter impregnating a second noble metal onto said catalyst support. In a preferred embodiment, the first noble metal is palladium and the second noble metal is platinum.
Abstract:
The compression molded article includes an outer plastic film layer, a first plastic layer adhered to the outer plastic film layer and a second plastic layer adhered to the first plastic layer. Long fibers having a length of from 8 to 100 mm are admixed with the second plastic layer. The article is formed by compression molding.
Abstract:
A method of producing unsaponifiable rich refined vegetable oils by refining crude vegetable oils with a weak acid salt, e.g., a carbonate salt, to produce a refined vegetable oil and a soapstock is described. The refined oil can be further refined with a strong base to produce unsaponifiable rich concentrates.
