| 20090060818 | SILICON AND CATALYST MATERIAL PREPARATION IN A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TRICHLOROSILANE - A process for preparing trichlorosilane by reacting silicon with hydrogen chloride, or silicon tetrachloride with hydrogen in the presence of silicon, and catalysts where the silicon and catalysts are laminated together and reduced in particle size prior to reaction. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090060819 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TRICHLOROSILANE - A process for preparing high purity trichlorosilane (TCS) utilizing contaminated by-products of primary reaction products hydrogen chloride, metallurgical or chemical grade silicon stock, and/or by-products of the improved Siemens process, including “dirty” TCS containing low boiling impurities such as dichlorosilane (DCS) and “dirty” STC containing high boiling impurities. The “dirty” STC is first purified and a portion is reacted with “dirty” TCS containing DCS to produce additional TCS feedstock for the TCS purification process. Another portion of the purified STC is hydrogenated and converted back to TCS providing another feedstock to the TCS purification process. Overall net yield of high purity TCS produced is increased over established practice. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20080229828 | Establishing reputation factors for publishing entities - The architecture utilizes the network effects of patents, journals, authors, institutions, and funding entities, for example, to establish an objective reputation factor. The reputation factor contributes to a higher perceived relevance as well as provides interesting new services that could be built on top. The algorithm takes into account not only the number of cited-by references for a certain paper, author, or institution, but can also generate a higher ranking for cross-disciplinary citations, citations establishing a new area of science, acknowledgement citations, and constantly-updated reputation factors of different important entities, such as co-authorship, institutional affiliation, and journal impact factor. Impact factors can be fed back into the system for consideration in generating the reputation factor. | 09-25-2008 |
