Abstract: A system and method may be used to indicate change to a key performance indicator (KPI). The method may include receiving data regarding operation of an enterprise, generating the KPI based on the data, assessing a rate of change of the KPI, and initiating notification of a user regarding the rate of change of the KPI. The method may further include modeling the KPI to obtain an ordinary rate of change of the KPI, or a KPI element incorporated into the KPI, over time, comparing the rate of change with the ordinary rate of change, and, based on a difference between the rate of change and the ordinary rate of change, determining that the notification is to be initiated. The method may further include determining whether to notify a user of the change to the KPI based on materiality of the KPI to the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving stability of a hydrogen gaseous dispensing system. An example of such system is hydrogen powered vehicle fuel filling station. Vehicle is filled by multiple high pressure gaseous hydrogen tubes, usually one tube at a time. For safety and reliability reasons a control requirement for such system is to be able to deliver the hydrogen at constant rate to the fuel tank so that its rate of pressure increase stays constant during entire filling process. A dual pressure regulator arrangement is proposed to better maintain flow continuity and/or pressure during tube switching.

Abstract: A mobile dispenser may be used to at least partially fill hydrogen tanks of fuel cell-powered vehicles. The dispenser uses a purely mechanical control of the fill using an orifice plate across which a pressure differential is maintained through use of a backpressure regulator whose reference pressure is controlled by a differential pressure regulator. Because it does need or use electrical power, it may be used in situations where no electrical power is available or convenient.

Abstract: Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, device, and storage medium including one or more of the following: receiving, from a user device, a request for pharmaceutical availability, the request including a pharmaceutical identification and a location; identifying a pharmacy near the received location that is known to stock a non-branded pharmaceutical identified by the pharmaceutical identification that is manufactured by a specified pharmaceutical manufacturer; and transmitting the identified pharmacy to the user device, whereby the user device receives a list of at least one nearby pharmacy that carries the non-branded pharmaceutical manufactured by the specified pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Abstract: A motorized acoustical banner that functions as a variable acoustic absorber is disclosed. The motorized acoustical banner includes a multi-panel fabric banner that allows for adjustable spacing between the layers of fabric as well as between the banner and the wall to which it is mounted. The motorized acoustical banner further includes a drum roller configuration that allows for easily and quickly changing the banner fabric without having to disassemble the entire device. The motorized acoustical banner also includes a tubular motor that can be removed from the device without removing the entire drum.

Abstract: A convertible percussion cart-platform system includes first and second instrument platforms that are shiftable between a transportation position and a performance position for moving and positioning musical instruments and a player platform that is shiftable between folded and unfolded positions for allowing a user to perform on instruments supported by first and second instrument platforms in the performance position.

Abstract: Recovery of hydrocarbons, such as petroleum products, from a liquid or solid substrate is facilitated by the use of microwave energy to energize and separate molecular bonds between the hydrocarbons and the substrate. A radio frequency (RF) applicator delivers microwave energy to a treatment volume containing an emulsion of a hydrocarbon and a substrate. Delivering the microwave energy to the emulsion facilitates separation of the hydrocarbon and substrate molecules into layers. Hydrocarbons and other products can then be recovered from their respective layers. The treatment volume may be located either above or below ground. The RF applicator may include an antenna body with slots formed substantially parallel to one another in a substantially horizontal orientation. The RF applicator efficiently delivers microwave energy into the treatment volume. Substantially all of the power supplied to the RF applicator is radiated, with very little power reflected internally within the RF applicator.
