Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical apparatus for the generation, the transmission, and/or the distribution of electrical energy comprising a housing enclosing an electrical apparatus interior space, at least a portion of the electrical apparatus interior space forming an insulation space, in which an electrical component is arranged and which contains an insulation medium surrounding the electrical component. The insulation medium contains an organofluorine compound. The electrical apparatus further comprises an adsorber comprising a zeolite for removing at least a part of a contaminant and/or decomposition product resulting from arcing or partial discharge in the insulation space. The apparatus is characterized in that the zeolite contains: less than 0.5 at % of magnesium (Mg) less than 0.5 at % of calcium (Ca) and less than 0.5 at % of iron (Fe).

Abstract: A content server system provides a client device with content, such as an audio stream. Using various techniques, an estimate is made of the actual size of an audience associated with the provided content, rather than assuming that the audience is limited to a single user of the client device. The estimate may be made by the content server system, the client device, or the content server system and the client device collectively. Using the estimate of actual size of the audience, the content server system can take actions appropriate for the audience, such as providing advertisements appropriate for the size of the audience and for the collective characteristics of the audience members. The estimate of the actual audience size additionally allows the content server system to be compensated more precisely for any advertisements provided to that audience.

Abstract: A content server provides a client device with audio content including an audio advertisement, which is provided in response to receiving a request for digital audio content from a client device associated with a user. The content server obtains user information about the user and retrieves advertisement text received from an advertiser, which are used to generate a personalized text advertisement. The personalized text advertisement is generated according to an advertisement template specifying an ordered combination of text components. The personalized text advertisement includes the received advertisement text, user information text selected from the obtained user information, and template text. The client device is provided with an advertisement based on the personalized text advertisement and is configured to play an audio version of the personalized text advertisement. The audio advertisement is generated using a text-to-speech algorithm at the client device or at the content server.

Abstract: An Internet radio service supports song dedications. A user is able to listen to music on an Internet radio station and dedicate a song to another person.

The intended recipient of the dedication is able to then access the dedicated song and any accompanying message. A public acknowledgement of the song dedication may also be made in social media.

Abstract: A content server system provides a client device with content including an audio advertisement with personalized background music. The content server selects a vocal advertisement received from an advertiser for presentation to a user of a client device. The content server obtains content data describing audio content provided to the client device as part of the stream of audio content. The content server obtains content data describing audio content provided to the client device as part of the stream of audio content. The content server identifies candidate background music items and selects background music from the candidate background music items based on the obtained content data.

Abstract: In the processes of nuclear fuel manufacture, scrap material such as uncontaminated reject powder and reject pellets, which would previously have been reprocessed chemially in conversion of the uranium values by dissolution into liquid form, is now mechanically reduced by crushing in a substantially inert atmosphere and converted to a slurry having between about 70 to 85 weight per cent solids, and then attrition milled utilizing scrap sintered UO.sub.2 pellets as the reducing medium. Grinding swarf generated during the centerless grinding of UO.sub.2 pellets may also be recycled provided it is sufficiently pure.
