Data corresponding to a new less-than-truckload shipment request can be received from a first computing device. The data can include a pickup location, a delivery location, a pickup time, and a delivery time. One or more trucks that are assigned to a current less-than-truckload shipment and are capable of executing the new less-than-truckload shipment while also completing the respective current less-than-truckload shipment can be identified from accessing a database. A message corresponding to an invitation for executing the new less-than-truckload shipment can be transmitted to one or more operator computing devices of the identified one or more trucks capable.

Systems for routing and controlling vehicles for freight

A shipment system can coordinate a less-than-truckload shipment with one or more freight vehicles by receiving from a first computing device, data corresponding to a new less-than-truckload shipment request. The data can comprise a pickup location, a delivery location, a pickup time, and a delivery time. Additionally, the shipment system can identify, from accessing a database, one or more trucks that are assigned to a current less-than-truckload shipment and are capable of executing the new less-than truckload shipment while completing the respective current-less-than-truckload shipment. A message corresponding to an invitation for executing the new less-than-truckload shipment can be transmitted to one or more operator computing devices of the identified one or more trucks capable.

Carbon dioxide is separated from a flue gas by scrubbing the gas with an aqueous solution of an amine and a salt, the CO2 is thereafter released from the solution by heating. The scrubbing step is performed with a co-current gravity fed stream of an aqueous solution of the amine and a salt of the gas and solution through an absorption column.

Carbon dioxide recovery

Carbon dioxide is separated from flue gas by scrubbing the gas with an aqueous solution of ammonia and salt, and the COis therefore released from the solution by heating. The scrubbing step is performed with a co-current stream of an aqueous solution of ammonia and a salt.

A process for the removal of COfrom flue gases using a co-current flow absorption column followed by one or more serial osmotic filters. The permeate is heated to strip out the CO. Both sides of the filters are fed back to the column input.

Carbon dioxide recovery using an absorption column in combination with osmotic filters

Fuel pellets for use as targets in thermonuclear fusion by inertial confinement are manufactured from a solid palladium core that contains deuterium tritium gases. The palladium core is covered with a tamper-ablator shell of heavy metal selected from the group including gold, platinum, and tungsten.

Ethylene is produced from ethanol in a one-step process by reacting ethanol with hydrogen chloride over a catalyst composed of silica alumina catalyst in intimate admixture with activated charcoal.

Manufacture of ethylene from ethanol

Carbon dioxide is reacted with methane in a free radical reaction to produce methanol and carbon monoxide. A system for producing carbon dioxide as a feed ingredient for the process through electric power generator is disclosed.

Methanol production from methane and carbon dioxide

A rechargeable battery is provided such that the positive electrode comprises graphite, the negative electrode also comprises graphite, and the electrolyte is a solution of lithium bromide in an ester of succinic acid or an ester of glutaric acid.

Lithium bromide battery

Carbon dioxide is used as a solvent to extract bitumen from oil sands in an anhydrous process that is compatible with existing procedures for upgrading bitumen. The process should provide high yields and meet environmental concerns.

Extraction of bitumen from oil sands

A rechargeable battery is provided with a bed of particles comprising a mixture of conductive carbon granules and nonconductive granules.

Storage battery using a uniform mix of conductive and nonconductive granules in a lithium bromide electrolyte

A rechargeable battery is provided such that the positive electrode comprises graphite, the negative electrode also comprises graphite, and the electrolyte is a solution of lithium bromide in a lactone.

Lithium storage battery

Carbon disulfide is used as a solvent to extract bitumen from oil sands in an anhydrous countercurrent flow process that is compatible with existing procedures for upgrading bitumen. The solution is then treated in a thermal reaction to reduce viscosity and then fractionated to recover the bitumen.

Ethylene is produced from ethane in three steps: first, ethane is oxychlorinated to produce ethyl chloride and water; second, ethyl chloride from the first step is cracked to produce ethylene and hydrogen chloride; and third, the hydrogen chloride from the second step is recycled to the front step.

Process for producing ethylene by chlorination of ethane and dehydrochlorination of ethyl chloride

A method of producing an electrical potential by way of a rechargeable battery with a positive electrode of lead and a negative electrode of highly pure zinc. The electrolyte is an aqueous solution of an alkali metal bisulfate. Upon discharge, lead dioxide is reduced to lead sulfate, zinc is oxidized to zinc oxide, and the electrolyte is converted to an alkali metal hydroxide. The reactions are reversed when the battery is charged.
