  • Publication number: 20240180466
    Abstract: A computing system receives a plurality of customized three-dimensional image-caption pairs generated by an administrator. Each customized three-dimensional image-caption pair may be assigned a plurality of traits to each of the plurality of customized three-dimensional image-caption pairs. For each customized three-dimensional image-caption pair, the computing system scores each trait of the plurality of traits. The computing system deploys a personality assessment. The personality assessment includes the plurality of customized three-dimensional image-caption pairs. For each customized three-dimensional image-caption pair, the computing system receives response data from a test-taker. The response data includes an indication of whether the test-taker relates to the customized three-dimensional image-caption pair. Based on the response data, the computing system categorizes the test-taker into a personality dimension or personality type.

  • Patent number: 10087396
    Abstract: A composition is disclosed for aiding extraction of an emulsified oil from an oil and water emulsion. The composition includes silicon containing particles at a level of 0.1 wt. % to 30 wt. %; an emulsifying agent at a level of 1 wt. % to 30 wt. %; and water at a level of 40 wt. % to 99 wt. %. A method of extracting oil from an oil and water emulsion in a material is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) dispersing silicon containing particles into the material using a mechanical blending device; and (b) separating the oil from the material. A method of extracting oil from an oil and water emulsion in a material is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a dispersion of silicon containing particles in water; (b) metering the dispersion into the material; and (c) separating the oil from the material.
