Abstract: Management of a user's continued attention to distance learning content using a general purpose computer having a central processing unit, an operating system configured to run multiple program applications concurrently, and a player suitable for presenting the distance learning content. A distance learning module comprises code executable on the central processing unit, as one of the multiple program applications. The distance learning module is operable to interrupt a presentation of the distance learning content at the player to the user in response to prescribed events concerning another one of the multiple program applications. A method executing on a computer that can concurrently run multiple applications identifies events concerning an application other than the distance learning application, processes the identified events so as to identify a prescribed event among the identified events, and interrupts the presentation of the distance learning content in response to the prescribed event.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing anonymized transparent exchange of information are disclosed. Systems and method configured to facilitate consumer purchases and vendor marketing of financial services are disclosed. The systems and methods can allow consumers to anonymously browse offers of financial services and provides anonymous consumer data to one or more vendors of financial services. The systems and methods allow vendors to offer financial services or transactions to a consumer based on that consumer's validated financial data, without giving the vendor identifying data about the consumer. Further, the disclosed embodiments enable aggregation of consumer data according to one or more relevant tracking metrics or consumer characteristics. The disclosed embodiments can facilitate overall marketing of financial services to decrease the time and the effort required to close an accepted offer of financial services.

Abstract: Textiles are hygienically cleaned by subjecting them to a low-temperature wash, generally less than 140°, and typically about 100° F. Once cleaned, they are subjected to a low temperature bleaching step at a pH of generally around 9 or less. The bleaching step is again conducted a low temperature, such as 140°, 100° F. Treated textiles can then be rinsed and treated to any typical post-washing operations. By conducting the washing and the bleaching at low temperatures, energy is saved. Further, maintaining the low temperature and low pH for the bleaching solution achieves better disinfection and, at the same time, minimizes damage to the textile.

Abstract: A method for removing a contaminant from a fluid, the method comprising contacting the fluid comprising a contaminant at a first concentration with a purification medium for a time sufficient for binding of the contaminant to the medium to provide and effluent comprising the contaminant at a second concentration, wherein the second concentration is lower than the first concentration.

Abstract: The current invention discloses an easy to use poster hanger system. According to the invention a support rail is attached to the ceiling. A sign support element is attached to the support rail via sign support strings. By releasing sign support strings from string cassettes locating in the support rail, the sign support element can be pulled down for attachment of the upper end of a poster along its full length to the sign support element. The lower end of the poster is optionally attached along its full length to a bottom support element. The sign can be pushed up to a desired height by pushing the sign support element up while the sign support string is rolled back onto the string cassettes.

Abstract: Management of a user's continued attention to distance learning content using a general purpose computer having a central processing unit and an operating system configured to run multiple program applications concurrently. A memory stores the distance learning content. A distance learning module comprises code executable on the central processing unit, as one of the multiple program applications. The distance learning module presents the distance learning content to a user and is operable to interrupt a presentation of the distance learning content in response to prescribed events concerning another one of the multiple program applications. A method executing on a computer that an concurrently run multiple applications identifies events concerning an application other than the distance learning application, processes the identified events so as to identify a prescribed event among the identified events, and interrupts the presentation of the distance learning content in response to the prescribed event.
