Abstract: A system for extracting polluted air in the vicinity of a road surface, the system comprising at least one inlet assembly arranged to be recessed into the road surface and to be connected to an extraction duct, said at least one inlet assembly comprising: a pod arranged to protrude above the level of the road surface and to be driven over; and one or more intakes located within the pod, the pod defining a passage arranged to be connected to an extraction duct.

Abstract: A sanitizing weighted bracelet with a strap body operably configured to define an enclosure to surround a user's limb, at least one raised section operably configured to house and retain at least one metallic weight, and a sanitizing raised section an upper surface at least partially defining an upper surface of the strap body and defining an access aperture, with a front surface defining an aperture, with a rear surface, and defining at least one channel spatially connected to the access aperture and the aperture defined by the front surface of the sanitizing raised section. The sanitizing raised section also includes a flexible sanitizing container disposed therein and that includes a nozzle projecting outwardly from the aperture of the sanitizing raised section. The flexible sanitizing container is operably configured to be accessible through the access aperture and flexed to cause emission of a sanitizing liquid from a nozzle thereon.

Abstract: A computer system, method, and program product for dynamically allocating storage bandwidth in an exchange is provided. The method provided creates, by an exchange server, a total inventory of resources for auction, whereby the total inventory of resources for auction includes resources from at least one provider. The total inventory of resources for auction is broadcast to at least one bidder. The amount of a resource is awarded to the at least one bidder at an end of a bidding interval, based on a bid provided by the at least one bidder during the bidding interval, where the amount of the resource is a portion of the total inventory of resources for auction.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for testing a boot image is disclosed. The method comprises creating a test boot image for a first logical partition, creating a second logical partition wherein the second logical partition is a duplicate of the first logical partition, initiating a boot sequence for the second logical partition using the test boot image, and returning a result of the boot sequence to a requestor.
