20100225811 | Synchronization of Content from Multiple Content Sources - An event as defined by a place and a time may be captured by multiple devices or individuals. Storing time information in association with the content item allows users to identify content associated with that event or any event. Time data may be provided in varying time bases depending on the network from which time information is determined. Accordingly, all content capturing the same event may be synchronized and aligned appropriately by adjusting the various timing information to a common time base. The synchronization and alignment is facilitated by capturing content using very fine time bases that provides accurate time stamping of content. In one or more arrangements, timing information may be adjusted using a time almanac that uses sample timing data. The content may further be assembled into a content item that provides multiple perspectives of the same event. | 09-09-2010 |

20140249334 | CATALYST FOR POLYOL HYDROGENOLYSIS - Ethylene glycol and propylene glycol may be made by hydrogenolysis of a polyol comprising the steps of reacting a polyol with hydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenolysis catalyst. The hydrogenolysis comprises nickel, one or more promoter, and one or more support. The promoter is selected from bismuth, silver, tin, antimony, gold, lead, thallium, cerium, lanthanum, and manganese. The support is selected from zirconia and carbon. A zirconia support comprises a zirconia textual promoter, which is selected from Cr, Mo, W, Nb, Ce, Ca, Mg, La, Pr, Nd, Al, and P. If the support comprises carbon, then the promoter is selected from bismuth and antimony. In another embodiment, if the support comprises carbon, then both the promoter is selected from bismuth and antimony, and the catalyst comprises copper. In another embodiment, the catalyst additionally comprises copper. | 09-04-2014 |

20140256055 | EXPLORATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF HYDROCARBONS - A method for detecting hydrocarbons is described. The method includes performing a remote sensing survey of a survey location to identify a target location. Then, an underwater vehicle (UV) is deployed into a body of water and directed to the target location. The UV collects measurement data within the body of water at the target location, which is then analyzed to determine whether hydrocarbons are present at the target location. | 09-11-2014 |
20140284465 | EXPLORATION METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF HYDROCARBONS WITH AN UNDERWATER VEHICLE - A method for detecting hydrocarbons with an underwater vehicle equipped with one or more measurement components is described. The method includes navigating the UV within the body of water; monitoring the body of water with measurement components associated with the UV to collect measurement data. The collected data from the UV is used to determine whether hydrocarbons are present and at the location. | 09-25-2014 |

A first plurality of analyses is used to determine a community structure of an ecology of the sample. A second plurality of analyses is used to determine a community function of the ecology of the sample. The community structure and the community function are used to determine whether the ecology of the sample matches a characteristic ecology of a hydrocarbon system. When the ecology of the sample matches the characteristic ecology, the sample is identified as part of the hydrocarbon system. | 12-25-2014 |
