Abstract: A server system receives a visual query and identifies an entity in the visual query. The server system further identifies a client-side action corresponding to the identified entity and creates an actionable search result element configured to launch the client-side action. Examples of actionable search result elements are buttons to initiate a telephone call, to initiate email message, to map an address, to make a restaurant reservation, and to provide an option to purchase a product. The entity identified in the visual query may be indirectly associated with a client-side action whose contact address or appropriate link is found in a search result associated with the identified entity. The client system receives and displays the actioneible search result element, and upon a user selection of the actionable search result element, launches the client-side action in an application distinct from the visual query client application.

Patent CA-2791023-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MULLEN ALEX
IPC: B67C9/00
Filed: 2012-09-27
Abstract: A device for use with a container containing liquid and having an opening for the consecutive consumption of the liquid and of smoke that has been drawn into the container. The device comprises a body, a combustion receptacle, and a tubular structure. An inlet end of the body engages the container, and an outlet end can be placed at the mouth of a user. The tubular structure connects the combustion receptacle with the interior of the liquid container. When smoking material is combusted and the container is inverted, outflow of liquid from the container through the body, in most instances into a user's mouth, creates negative pressure within the container, drawing in smoke from the combustion receptacle. Once most or all of the liquid has flowed out of the container, the user may then inhale the smoke in the container through the body.

Abstract: An improved method for the production of phenol, acetone and alpha-methyl styrene (AMS) from a cumene hydroperoxide and dimethylbenzyl alcohol (DMBA) mixture is described, wherein 0.5 - 5% additional water by weight is added prior to the final DMBA dehydration step, carried out in the presence of about 20 - 400 ppm mineral acid catalyst at 110 - 150 C for 0.5 to 40 minutes residence time. The use of additional water allows greater flexibility in maintaining optimum temperature in the second stage over a much broader turndown range with fixed equipment, decreases the residual dicumyl peroxide (DCP) at the yield optimum for a given temperature, and increases the overall yield of AMS at optimum conditions at a given temperature.
