Filed:

Aug 8, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/500833

Inventors:

Vijay S. Bhise - Caldwell NJ, US
Arie Bortinger - Ridgewood NJ, US
Stephen R. Allen - Morris Plains NJ, US

Assignee:

SD Lizenverwertungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG - Munich

International Classification:

B01J 23/00
B01J 21/00
B01J 20/00

US Classification:

502347, 502243, 502348, 502355, 502415, 502439

Abstract:

The invention relates to an improved process for producing a catalyst useful for the epoxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide. In forming the catalyst, a silver-impregnated support is subjected to two calcinations. The support is subjected to a first calcination in a first atmosphere comprising air. Next the support is subjected to a second calcination in a second atmosphere which is substantially entirely comprised of inert gas, and which second atmosphere is substantially absent of hydrogen. This two-stage calcination produces an improved catalyst which contains fewer organics left over under standard conditions of air calcination alone, while costing less than calcination in an inert gas alone.

International Classification:

G06F 21/62

Abstract:

Technologies for sensor privacy on a computing device include receiving, by a sensor controller of the computing device, sensor data from a sensor of the computing device; determining a sensor mode for the sensor; and sending privacy data in place of the sensor data in response to a determination that the sensor mode for the sensor is set to a private mode. The technologies may also include receiving, by a security engine of the computing device, a sensor mode change command from a user of the computing device via a trusted input/output path of the computing device; and sending a mode command to the sensor controller to set the sensor mode of the sensor based on the sensor mode change command, wherein the sending the mode command comprises sending the mode command over a private bus established between the security engine and the sensor controller. Other embodiments are described herein.

US Classification:

348 77, 704246, 34053911, 34053913

Abstract:

Systems, apparatus and methods of reducing or eliminating device loss are described herein. A computing device may receive a user input. The user input may include a proximity preference. The computing device may generate an alert signal upon detecting that a distance between the computing device and the user has increased beyond the first proximity preference. The detecting may be based on sensing a characteristic of the user, such as a voice characteristic or a facial characteristic, or upon detecting that a signal between a user headset and the computing device has diminished in strength.
