Abstract: “The present invention is a method and apparatus that allows individual competing, as well as complementing suppliers, vendors, service providers, purveyors, and other types of sellers as companies, individuals, or as any other entity, controlled design and publication of print media advertising and outreach. The present invention allows for standards or guidelines to be set by print media and then automatically applied in the creation of advertising or outreach presentations.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus that allows for the verification and substantiation of the purchase of access or admission to those facilities, sites, businesses, venues, sporting events, or reserved services that traditionally have controlled access by means of tickets, passes, admission documents, reservations, reservation confirmations, or other substantiation. The invention provides several methods for the buyer to provide an ID at the time of purchase, which is then transmitted electronically to the facility, site, business, venue, sporting event, or reserved service. That buyer ID is then confirmed by the facility, site, business, or venue by means of readers or scanners of the magnetic, smart, or optical ID cards or by other electronic means. This confirmation may automatically result in the printing of the tickets, passes, admission documents, reservation confirmations, or other documents required for admittance or automatic and immediate physical admittance of the buyer or ID holder.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus that allows competing as well as complementing suppliers, vendors, service providers, purveyors, and other types of sellers internal inventory management as well as controlled design and publication of presentations for external near real-time interactive access to buyer-centered presentation, sales, distribution, and confirmation systems as well as other traditional media advertising and outreach. The Automated Media Presentation Generator including a Publication and Placement Control Engine, integrates a Distributed Sales and Inventory Control structure with Processing and Communications Resource Saver, and further provides a Reservation, Access, and Verification System replacing traditional ticket and confirmation methods.

Abstract: A supply canister is partially filled with a refrigerant circuit additive fluid which is partially evacuated, said refrigerant circuit additive fluid is comprised of a combination of a binding azeotrope of methanol and cyclohexanone with a drying agent, a metal sealant and a rubber rejuvinating compound in a single container. Additive fluids from the canister may be placed into the refrigerant circuit of an air conditioning system by (1) connecting the canister to the circuit after it has been emptied and vacuum pressure created therein, (2) connecting the canister to the refrigerant circuit suction line during system operation, or (3) connecting the canister to the suction line with the system off, to thereby force refrigerant from the circuit into the canister, and then starting the system to cause the vacuum pressure in the suction line to draw the contents of the canister into the refrigerant circuit.

Abstract: A protein extract from Chilo iridescent virus or the whole virus controls insects, particularly the cotton boll weevil and the cotton aphid, respectively. These compositions/agents may be used to directly control insects or genes for active proteins may be cloned into vectors for transformation of plants or plant colonizing microorganism, thereby providing a method for controlling insect infestation.

Tapes having the structure show improved chemical resistance to the 15 liquid chemicals included on the ASTM F1001 chemical test battery as compared to a competitive tapes commonly used in the protective clothing and chemical packaging industry.

Abstract: The invention presents a method for conditioning and texturing of lapping plate surfaces used in high precision lapping, the conditioning and texturing is achieved without the use of free abrasive particles and slurries through use of a conditioning ring having a hard bound abrasive particle layer. The conditioning ring is contacted with the lapping plate surface, both rotating in the same direction but at different RPMs resulting in grooved microprofiles of the lapping plate surface. The invention provides a lapping process using the conditioned and textured lapping plate surface along with free abrasive particles carried in the grooves in combination with glycols and citrates for ABS generation.

The polyvinyl alcohol stand alone provides the wearer with comfort through having a MVTR rate of at least 450 grams/meter squared per 24 hours. In addition, a combination of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylidene chloride provides a readily disposable splash suit which is most suitable for a variety of chemicals while yet being readily disposable ie. the PVA being readily soluble in warm water and the PVDC being dispensable in water and being biodegradable.

Abstract: A pumping unit apparatus is provided for operating a well pump having sucker rod drive which is reciprocated from an uppermost position to a lowermost position, the apparatus having a base, a support structure mounted on the base, a member mounted on the support structure for pivotal movement about an axis and means connected to the member for pivoting said member between the two positions. Belting and pulley combinations mounted on the member and connected to the sucker rod provides rod string positioning to the rod string uppermost position when the member is on one position and a lower position when the member is in another position; a counterweight mounted on the member for movement with said member is provided wherein the counterweight is positioned relative to the axis so that the force of gravity acting on the counterweight applies a greater torque to the member when the rod string is in its uppermost position than is applied when the rod string is in its lowermost position.

Abstract: Peak flavor protein rouxs having applications in food products such as gravies, sauces, soups, breadings, stuffings and as flavor carriers are produced from protein food sources such as protein concentrates from vegetable, animal, dairy, fish and foul food sources which when mixed with shortening and caramelized to a specific color yields a peak flavor roux caramelized protein. The protein roux exhibiting a peak flavor which is correlatable to a specific color is achieved as a result of mixing, heating, caramelizing and quenching of the protein food source and oil mixture upon reaching a specific color--peak flavor. In addition, a snack chip composition and a snack chip having reduced oil content is provided by utilizing the peak flavor rouxs in conjunction with power or particulate vegetable sources and processed by air baking of the chip materials resulting in a reduced oil peak flavor chip.

Abstract: A substantially oil free fried flavor food product having a fried flavor obtained by cooking a starch and/or a protein from grain flours, vegetable flours, food protein source materials and the like with fats and oils under controlled conditions for producing roux, extracting the oil from the roux resulting in a food product having a definitive fried or peak flavor as can be correlated by the color of the food product. The substantially oil free food product has enhanced fried flavor and is most suitable as an interface coating through enhanced adhesion properties for raw vegetables and consumable meats. The dry powder food product having fried flavor can be utilized in a variety of foods, either as an ingredient or coating, producing a consumable food having fried flavor without the food being fried in oil.
