Title: Anhydrous conversion of methane and other light alkanes into methanol and other derivatives, using radical pathways and chain reactions with minimal waste products
Inventor: RICHARDS ALAN K
IPC: C07C29/00
Filed: 2003-11-05
Granted: 2019-07-09
Abstract: Reagents and methods with low thermodynamic barriers can convert lower alkanes such as methane into methanol or other derivatives. One system uses a small quantity of a non-salt radical initiator such as Marshall's acid, a di-acid peroxide that can be split into two radicals. These radicals will remove hydrogens from methane, to generate methyl radicals. Sulfur trioxide is added, and methyl radicals combine with it to form methylsulfonate radicals. Methane is added, and the methylsulfonate radicals will remove hydrogens from it, to form stable methanesulfonic acid (MSA) while creating new methyl radicals to sustain the chain reaction. MSA that is removed can be sold or used, or it can be split into methanol (which can be used on site, or shipped as a liquid) and sulfur dioxide (which can be oxidized to sulfur trioxide and returned to the reactor). This anhydrous system creates no salts and minimal waste. An alternate system uses a bi-functional reagent with electrophilic and nucleophilic domains (such as a bromate-sulfate compound) to create coordinated proton and electron shifts in methane, using symphoric and anchimeric effects to create transitional intermediates with low energy barriers, allowing selective formation of intermediates that can be cracked to release methanol. Either system can improve the selectivity and yield of methanol from methane.

Filed: 2003-12-02
Granted: 2011-11-08
Abstract: A lumbar support device that includes a rigid shell (10) and an adjustable lumbar support surface. The lumbar support surface includes a plurality of inelastic straps (32) of adjustable length disposed horizontally between the sides (14) of the rigid shell (10). The user adapts the straps (32) to conform to the user's back when in a standing neutral position. When seated, the straps (32) maintain their adjusted lengths, so as to reinforce the user's neutral position. The lumbar support device features downwardly depending legs (16) at each side (14) so as to support the device when placed in a chair and position the surface in the lumbar region above the chair. The gap between the legs (16) and below the back (12) of the shell (10) provides a cutout to accommodate protrusion of the user's buttocks, allowing the user to adopt normal buttock positioning on the seat (112) of the chair (110).

Title: A method for reducing interface load of home subscriber server
Inventor: WU YAJUAN
IPC: H04W8/12
Filed: 2005-01-06
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing the load on Home Subscriber Server (HSS)'s interface. After receiving a request message from Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) comprising the request for storing the name of the S-CSCF and for downloading the user's subscription information, HSS first stores the name of S-CSCF in the request message, then returns to the S-CSCF a response message comprising the user's subscription information. This invention simplifies the steps of inquiring about the user's subscription information, optimizes the service procedure, and reduces the load on HSS's interface. In addition, when receiving the inquiry message from I-CSCF, HSS returns directly to I-CSCF response message comprising the S-CSCF name and the S-CSCF capability information set that has the capability to meet the most strict service subscription requirement of the UE, further reducing the load on HSS's interface. This invention has no impact on the existing network architecture and services, nor is it needed to modify the existing interface specifications, thus being highly compatible and extendable.
