Abstract:

DeNOx catalysts for the reduction of NOx compounds and porous catalyst support materials are provided. The inventive catalysts comprise an active metal catalyst component and mixed TiO/ZrOporous support particles that comprise a) a crystalline phase comprising titanium dioxide and/or a titanium/zirconium mixed oxide, b) an amorphous phase comprising zirconium, and c) a small amount of one or more metal oxide(s) or metalloid oxide(s) deposited on the amorphous outer layer. The inventive catalysts exhibit superior activity and ammonia selectivity.

Abstract:

A process for making a catalyst having precious metal nanoparticles deposited on a support includes first providing an aqueous dispersion of support particles. A pre-treatment slurry is prepared by mixing the aqueous dispersion of support particles with a water-soluble precious metal precursor and a reducing agent. The pre-treatment slurry is hydrothermally treated at a temperature in the range of from about 40 C. to about 220 C. for a time sufficient to deposit precious metal nanoparticles on the surface of the support particles, the precious metal nanoparticles having an average particle size less about 50 nm.

Abstract:

A catalyst for removal of NOx from exhaust gas, containing cerium oxide and titanium dioxide, wherein a first portion of the cerium oxide forms at least one agglomerate of cerium oxide crystallites interdispersed in the titanium dioxide, and a second portion of the cerium oxide forms at least one island on a surface of the titanium dioxide, a method for producing the catalyst, a process for selectively reducing NOx levels in an exhaust gas using the catalyst, and an SCR canister containing the catalyst therein.

International Classification:

H04L 12/24
G06N 20/20

Abstract:

Methods and systems for the dynamically re-clustering of nodes in clusters to provide optimal performance and/or the most efficient use of resources through the use of machine learning models. Specifically, the methods and systems may determine a cluster that optimally performs and/or has the most efficient use of resources based on a first machine learning model. The methods and system may then retrieve available substitute nodes from other domains and/or networks that may lie outside the cluster, but may nonetheless be available to, or accessed by the cluster. The methods and systems may then generate an additional plurality of clusters using one or more of the original nodes of the originally selected clusters and/or one or more of the available substitute nodes.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/40
G06K 9/32

Abstract:

In some implementations, a transaction card security system may detect a transaction card in an image, and may perform image processing to identify one or more character sequences or one or more designs that appear on the transaction card. The one or more character sequences or the one or more designs may identify an institution associated with the transaction card and/or a cardholder associated with the transaction card. The transaction card security system may identify the institution or the cardholder associated with the transaction card based on the one or more character sequences or the one or more designs, and may perform one or more actions relating to security of the transaction card based on detecting the transaction card in the image and identifying the institution or the cardholder associated with the transaction card.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0488
G06F 3/0482

Abstract:

In certain embodiments, presentation of candidate inputs may be facilitated based on a user interface location of a related candidate input. In some embodiments, a text input may be obtained via a user interface (e.g., via a virtual keyboard). A first candidate input related to the text input may be presented at a first location of the user interface. A first user selection with respect to the first candidate input may be obtained, and a candidate input set related to the first candidate input may be presented on the user interface based on the first user selection. As an example, the candidate input set may be presented such that a second candidate input is presented closer to the first location than a third candidate input based on the second candidate input being associated with a higher likelihood of being selected by a user than the third candidate input.
