Abstract: A tamper-evident container includes a base and a lid with a closure portion includes a lip flange and a base flange. When the lid is secured to and closed over the base, the lid flange and the base flange rest adjacent to one another. The base flange includes perforations running along the length of the closure portion to divide the base flange into an outer region and an inner region. The lid flange is secured to the outer region of the base flange. When the lid is separated from the base, the lid flange tears away the outer region of the base flange with the assistance of the perforations on the base flange. When the lid is fully separated from the base, the lid flange carries the outer region of the base to avoid a separate member that needs to be thrown away.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed in a computational device to reserve a room in a building of a campus includes receiving input from a user identifying features associated with a room, retrieving floorplan level mapping information based on the input, retrieving floorplan level security information based on the input, generating a list of potential reservation locations based on the floorplan level mapping information and the floorplan level security information, and rendering at least a portion of the list of potential reservation locations to a screen.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved patient care are disclosed. A computer-implemented method for improved patient care may include receiving patient data, selecting an interaction mode based on the patient data, and processing the patient data based on an interaction mode.

Abstract: An auxiliary sour gas treatment system for treating a stream of sour gas during a time wherein a primary gas treatment facility is unavailable, malfunctioning, inadequate or inoperable. The auxiliary sour gas treatment system comprises a lean solvent storage system to store an appreciable volume of a regenerable lean solvent available on demand. A scrubber to treat an influent supply of the sour gas by contacting the sour gas and the lean solvent which chemically or physically binds the contaminants in the sour gas resulting in a cleaned gas suitable for disposal or use as a fuel, and the solvent in an enriched state that contains the removed contaminants. The enriched solvent resulting from treatment may be stored indefinitely in a rich solvent storage system and then regenerated at any convenient time and at any convenient rate or place to remove the contaminants from the rich solvent.

Abstract: A variable mass cap 20 for a shock imparting implement grip has a butt element 22 connected to a tubular portion 24 constructed to receive a selected mass 26, 28. The tubular portion 24 fits snugly within a recess 34 of a body 32, and is retained therein by the engagement of an annular ridge 36 with a first annular groove 30 disposed in an outer surface of the tubular portion 24. In an alternate embodiment, threaded portion 31 is received by and engaged by a corresponding threaded recess 34. The cap 20 is mechanically secured to the body 32 for providing a grip with a variable mass.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that can be used for marketing and advertising during the system check of a computer, which is one of the busiest periods that the computer or computer type device has, which occurs just before the computer or computer type device initializes its operating system and after power up. The methodology is to run various forms of advertisements/commercials while the computer or computer type device is busy. The present method calls for the advertisements/commercials to run during the time window when the system check is normally displayed at a very rapid pace, and prior to the operating system attempting to engage and run the computing device. While the system check is occurring the present invention calls for advertisements/commercials to run in the foreground covering, if not all, a portion of the monitor screen.
