International Classification:

B01D 29/46
B01D 39/00
B01D 61/00

US Classification:

21050038, 21050037, 210490, 2103216, 21032174, 427244, 427245

Abstract:

A chlorine resistant polyamide is formed from the reaction product of an amine and an acid chloride monomer wherein the acid chloride monomer is modified with electron-withdrawing groups that exhibit sufficient activity to (i) minimize any chlorination on both the amine and acid chloride side and (ii) minimize N-chlorination. A membrane is made from the polyamide and, in one application, the membrane is used in a desalination unit.

US Classification:

463 42, 463 43

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed to silently sign-in a user of an offline game title onto an online service. The user is afforded access to select online services to facilitate future online gaming. In a described implementation, a method is disclosed. The method silently signs in a user of an offline game title onto an online gaming service. As a result, the signed-in user may receive one or more online services such as an in-game notification, a friend request (e. g. , inviting a user to become a friend), a cross-title game invitation, and/or data corresponding to a friends list.

International Classification:

B01D 39/14
B01D 71/16

US Classification:

210634, 21050029, 2105003

Abstract:

A method is provided for producing a high flux, high salt rejection cellulose acetate desalination membrane. In this method, cellulose acetate polymer is dissolved in a first solvent such as methylene chloride or 2-methyltetrahydrofuran to produce a solution. Further steps involve stirring the solution, and thereafter permitting the solution to settle, for a time sufficient for a majority of the cellulose acetate to precipitate out of the solution to form a cellulose acetate precipitate. Next, the cellulose acetate precipitate is stirred into an excess methanol. Thereafter, the cellulose acetate is filtered out and used in making the desalination membrane.

International Classification:

G06F 19/00
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

463040000

Abstract:

Communication between a game console having a communication port and a personal computer is facilitated by implementing a shared folder on the personal computer that can be accessed via the communication port. The game console and personal computer may communicate via a Server Message Block compatible code, a Universal Plug and Play networking protocol, and the like. To save memory, the SMB compatible code (or other code) may not support the full set of SMB protocol features (or other protocol features).

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

717173, 707 3, 707E17014

Abstract:

Mechanisms for determining the coherency of a console are described herein. A manifest may be used to check the installed software components, and their versions, to determine which user experience groups are coherent based upon the installed software packages and their versions. If the console has the required software components and their versions installed according to the manifest, providing for a coherent user experience group, the console may be set to an enhanced user experience level in which the coherent user experience groups, or features, are enabled. The console may be set at various user experience levels depending upon which user experience groups are coherent. For example, if no user experience groups are coherent, the console may be set at a “core”, basic, or default user experience level.
