20110207972CATALYSTS AND PROCESSES FOR THE HYDROGENOLYSIS OF GLYCEROL AND OTHER ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FOR PRODUCING POLYOLS AND PROPYLENE GLYCOL - Catalysts for replacing rhenium-containing multimetallic catalysts for the hydrogenolysis of organic compounds to desired polyols, including the conversion of glycerol to propylene glycol, are described. The catalysts are carried on carbon supports, as well as carbon supports impregnated with Zirconium Scandium (ZrSc), Zirconium Yttrium (ZrY), Titanium Scandium (TiSc), or Titanium Yttrium (TiY) to texture the carbon support and to create oxygen-ion vacancies that can be used during the desired reactions. Processes for the hydrogenolysis of organic compounds to desired polyols using the disclosed catalysts, including the conversion of glycerol to propylene glycol, are also described.08-25-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20120072336METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GLOBAL UNDERWRITING AND EXPRESS LOAN ORIGINATION - A method and apparatus that allow a rapid evaluation and origination of loans is provided. The creditworthiness of potential borrowers may be evaluated by multiple models. Some models may provide a nuanced evaluation of creditworthiness, while other models generate cross-sell opportunities. The models may implement a strategy. The model may be run on a logic engine or engines. The evaluation may utilize multiple stages, whereby each stage is reached only if the earlier stages are passed. Evaluation may utilize a multi-level strategy. In the event that a loan cannot be reasonably provided, the potential borrower may be given suitable reasons and/or be presented with alternative credit products.03-22-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100015561Candle holder with heat deflecting shield - A candle holder apparatus for housing a candle and a method for using such a device, the candle holder apparatus comprising a body having an open top, at least one body wall, and a cavity configured to house a candle. The candle holder further comprises a heat deflecting shield and a cover having a recess configured to house the heat deflecting shield. The heat deflecting shield is seated in the cover recess such that an air gap is formed between the heat deflecting shield and an inner surface of the cover. This air gap insulates and decreases the top surface temperatures of the cover, allowing a user to touch the cover without being burned. Further, the candle holder cover is configured to fit on the open top of the candle holder body. Vent openings are disposed in the wall of the candle holder body to permit airflow between the cavity and the exterior when the cover is atop the body.01-21-2010
