  • Publication number: 20240150541
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for recycling polymers, in particular to a method for recycling polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to produce bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET). The BHET produced using the method and apparatus of the present invention may be of a quality which allows plastic preparation methods in which the BHET is used to be simplified.

  • Publication number: 20100100257
    Abstract: The invention supports the study of operations and provides a large data store of surface and terminal area operations, as well as means of analyzing and understanding that data. It fuses multiple surveillance and flight data sources to provide analysis functionality for both airborne and surface based flights. This provides a wider range of data to make intelligent categorization and derived data analysis decisions. The invention implements custom logic for matching flights to corresponding data messages by maintaining its own key mappings between data tables during import so that keys are unique to an installation and do not require sequences. This provides the ability to export datasets through the PostgreSQL dump utility and then import it into an existing database (using the PostgreSQL restore utility) without creating overlapping, duplicate or conflicting keys. XML based format is used and import and export features is that allow users to share these custom queries.

  • Patent number: 7647257
    Abstract: A web application that enables access to a client's specific account transaction detail. The charge transaction detail can include anything related to charge or credit card transactions including travel transaction detail, corporate card detail and corporate purchasing card detail. The transaction detail can be captured from many sources and can include third party data. The clients can use a web application and web page to access the account data and create report views of the information. The system can also includes a create a report capability, which allows users to add filters and data elements to an existing report format and create a report specific to their needs and data.
