Abstract: A portable unit along with a service is described to separate the organic acids in refinery brine (brine) without the high capital costs of a “fixed asset” processing plant or paying to have the entire brine stream hauled off site for organic acid recovery and waste water treatment. This will result in substantial cost savings and minimize the producers' exposure to risk.

Abstract: A rotating pedestal with an integrated locking mechanism configured to lock the pedestal in a desired angular position. The pedestal incorporates a soft heat-resistant top rotatably connected to a fixed base. The integrated locking mechanism is a sliding latch mounted in the base.

Abstract: One embodiment of an adaptive device for laptop computers and of the type having a heat resistant, slip proof top (10). The durable outer casing (12) is constructed of any material that can be molded to desired shape while maintaining structure integrity. The sides of the outer casing contain a small imprint in the center to ensure that the inside casing (16) retains its form. This inside casing rotates along the ball bearing case (18). In addition, a set of teeth (20) run along the inside casing, which communicate with a lock slide switch (14). Other embodiments are described and shown.

Abstract: The invention relates to products for, and methods of, monitoring and controlling work progress, and improving work productivity and work management, for example in highly variable and/or unpredictable work environments, and to products for, and methods of, interactive data processing particularly adapted for systems comprising a handheld mobile component
