20100105112 | FLUOROCARBON EMULSION STABILIZING SURFACTANTS - Surfactants (e.g., fluorosurfactants) for stabilizing aqueous or hydrocarbon droplets in a fluorophilic continuous phase are presented. In some embodiments, fluorosurfactants include a fluorophilic tail soluble in a fluorophilic (e.g., fluorocarbon) continuous phase, and a headgroup soluble in either an aqueous phase or a lipophilic (e.g., hydrocarbon) phase. The combination of a fluorophilic tail and a headgroup may be chosen so as to create a surfactant with a suitable geometry for forming stabilized reverse emulsion droplets having a disperse aqueous or lipophilic phase in a continuous, fluorophilic phase. In some embodiments, the headgroup is preferably non-ionic and can prevent or limit the adsorption of molecules at the interface between the surfactant and the discontinuous phase. This configuration can allow the droplet to serve, for example, as a reaction site for certain chemical and/or biological reactions. In another embodiment, aqueous droplets are stabilized in a fluorocarbon phase at least in part by the electrostatic attraction of two oppositely charged or polar components, one of which is at least partially soluble in the dispersed phase, the other at least partially soluble in the continuous phase. One component may provide collodial stability of the emulsion, and the other may prevent the adsorption of biomolecules at the interface between a component and the discontinous phase. Advantageously, surfactants and surfactant combinations of the invention may provide sufficient stabilization against coalescence of droplets, without interfering with processes that can be carried out inside the droplets. | 04-29-2010 |

20090328169 | Apparatus and method for convenient and secure access to websites - A website access application accesses an encrypted central repository on a user's computer to store and access a variety of user-based website login and authentication information in the repository. The central repository provides a single point of access for the authentication information and, by accessing the repository; the process of user identification and authentication for multiple websites can be automated. A single user-selected keystroke combination can be utilized to initiate user sessions with multiple disparate secure websites by accessing the user website login information contained in the central repository and extracting the user login and authentication information contained therein. Additionally, the website access application will track and report on the times savings associated with the streamlined login process for accessing secure websites. In yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the website access application will analyze the user authentication information for various websites and provide suggestions to enhance the relative strength of the authentication information.

20100191005 | OXYGEN/HYDROCARBON RAPID (HIGH SHEAR) GAS MIXER, PARTICULARLY FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ETHYLENE OXIDE - A gas mixer is disclosed which includes a vessel ( | 07-29-2010 |
20100204495 | HYDROCARBON/OXYGEN INDUSTRIAL GAS MIXER WITH WATER MIST - A hydrocarbon-containing gas is mixed with an oxygen-containing gas in a gas mixer in the presence of a water mist. The water mist surrounds and contacts entrained particles in either the oxygen-containing gas stream or the hydrocarbon-containing gas stream. The water acts to suppress and prevent ignition of the hydrocarbon gas in the mixer by serving as a sink for heat created by energetic collisions between such particles and structures within the gas mixer. The water mist also acts to quench ignition caused by such collisions. The water mist can be introduced into the gas mixer in a number of different configurations, including via nozzles injecting a mist into a hydrocarbon gas manifold or an oxygen gas manifold, nozzles placed within the gas mixer adjacent to ends of the oxygen supply pipes, and nozzles placed coaxially within the oxygen supply pipes in the gas mixer. | 08-12-2010 |

The water droplets surround and contact entrained particles in either the oxygen gas stream or the hydrocarbon-containing gas stream. The water acts to suppress, prevent and quench ignition of the hydrocarbon gas in the mixer which would otherwise be caused by energetic collisions between such particles and structures within the gas mixer. In one configuration the gas mixer includes water pipes having coarse water droplet-producing nozzles at the peripheral end thereof concentrically located within oxygen supply pipes. Additionally, nozzles introduce coarse water droplets into a pipe carrying the hydrocarbon gas and forming a mixing chamber for the hydrocarbon and oxygen gases. | 08-12-2010 |

Wet scrubbers for use in the method may take various forms, including packed-tower, bubble cap, and sparger-type wet scrubbers. The removal of the particulate matter reduces the risk of ignition of the hydrocarbon-containing gas in the gas mixer. The use of a wet scrubber in the oxygen supply line overcomes many problems currently faced with screen and filters, as per current practice. | 10-21-2010 |
