  • Publication number: 20150346152
    Abstract: The applicants' teachings provide in some aspects methods and apparatus for mass spectrometric analysis that identify the location of carbon-carbon double bonds, if any, in an analyte by (1) obtaining the m/z ratio of the intact analyte ions, (2) subjecting these ions to collision-induced dissociation and (3) determining relationships between masses and/or mass-to-charge ratios of the intact analyte ions and the fragments produced by such collision-induced dissociation. The methods and apparatus selectively subject analyte ions to ozone-induced dissociation based on those relationships and determine location(s) of carbon-carbon double bonds, if any, from reaction products of ozone-induced dissociation.

  • Publication number: 20150032630
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for postponing check settlement. According to one or more embodiments, a method is provided. The method may include receiving, by a computer including one or more processors, check information associated with a check on a current date. The method may also include determining, by the computer, a destination account identifier for the check and determining whether to postpone settlement of the check until after the current date. Furthermore, the method may include identifying, by the computer upon a positive determination to postpone settlement of the check, a delayed settlement date associated with the check.

  • Publication number: 20120187155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing apparatus for containing a pressurized composition. The dispensing apparatus comprises a reservoir for containing the composition, a flow conduit in fluid communication with the reservoir having a distal end forming a flow conduit orifice; and a displaceable actuator head comprising a side wall having an interior surface and a dispensing orifice formed through the side wall. An intermediate member having an aperture extending there through is interposed between the interior surface of the displaceable actuator head and the distal end of the flow conduit. The intermediate member is affixed to either the interior surface of the actuator head aligning the aperture with the dispensing orifice or to the distal end of the flow conduit aligning the aperture with the flow conduit orifice. The intermediate member seals the dispensing orifice when the displaceable actuator head is biased to an at-rest position.
