20100240938 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TRIPTANE - A process for producing triptane and/or triptene from methanol and/or one or more derivatives thereof, and optionally one or more further alcohols and/or derivatives thereof at a temperature in the range of from 150 to 400° C., in the presence of a zeolite catalyst having Brønsted acidity, in which all the carbon atoms in the triptane and/or triptene are derived from the methanol and/or one or more derivatives thereof and the optional further alcohols and/or derivatives thereof, the zeolite catalyst being selected from: i. zeolites having frameworks comprising silicon and aluminium atoms at a Si:Al mole ratio of greater than (2), which zeolites also have a channel structure comprising a ring size of (12) or more non-oxygen atoms in (2) or (3) dimensions; and ii. zeolites having frameworks comprising silicon and aluminium atoms, and which have a framework ring comprising (12) or more non-oxygen-atoms accessible on the external surface of the zeolite and a pore structure in which all of the channels have a ring-size of less than (12) non-oxygen atoms. There is also described a process for producing triptane and/or triptene wherein the zeolite catalyst is zeolite X, the reaction composition additionally comprises a C | 09-23-2010 |

20110239324 | Production of Plants with Decreased Nitrite Content - The present invention relates in one aspect to a method for producing a transgenic plant, comprising introducing into an unmodified plant an exogenous gene encoding a nitrite reductase, wherein expression of the nitrite reductase encoded by the exogenous gene reduces nitrite content in the transgenic plant relative to the unmodified plant. Also provided are transgenic plants and plant cells comprising an exogenous gene encoding a nitrite reductase, as well as associated uses, chimaeric genes and plant transformation vectors. | 09-29-2011 |

20140156183 | METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR LOCATING AVAILABLE PARKING SPOTS - Techniques are disclosed for reporting occupied and unoccupied parking spaces are disclosed. The techniques include determining that a mobile computing device has entered a parking area and determining whether the mobile computing device has entered a pedestrian mode. The pedestrian mode is indicative of a user of the mobile computing device parking a vehicle and exiting the vehicle. When the mobile computing device has entered the pedestrian mode, the technique includes determining a first location of the mobile computing device at a first time corresponding to the mobile computing device entering the pedestrian mode, and providing an occupied notification to a remote computing device, the occupied notification including the first location and indicating that a parking spot corresponding to the first location is occupied. Techniques are further disclosed for reporting unoccupied parking spaces to the mobile computing device. | 06-05-2014 |

20150185030 | VEHICLE INFORMATION/ENTERTAINMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - The present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle information management system for use in a motor vehicle. The system incorporates a radio system which has a display system, and a remotely located processor-based inference engine. The inference engine automatically, wirelessly receives information inputs from the radio system in real time pertaining to at least one of a real time location of the vehicle and at least one of a destination of travel of the vehicle or a status of operation of the vehicle. The inference engine may analyzes the information inputs and determines new information, in real time, that is useful to the vehicle operator, and automatically transmits the new information wirelessly to the radio system for use by the user. The display system automatically displays the new information to the vehicle operator. | 07-02-2015 |
