  • Publication number: 20180114193
    Abstract: A system and method for scheduling and defining calendar events on a user's electronic calendar are disclosed. An exemplary method begins with receiving a main event with a specified date. An event template may be selected that is related to the main event. A user's calendar may then be populated with template events from the event template using the main event date as the date from which template events are offset. Users may modify existing event templates or create their own templates. Additionally, users may modify, delete, or create new events that may be associated with the main event and treated as part of an event group along with events created in a calendar from a specified template.

  • Patent number: 7807726
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for recovery of a fluorinated anionic surfactant from a basic anion exchange resin having quaternary ammonium groups, the method comprising eluting the anion exchange resin with a composition comprising an ammonium salt and a water miscible organic solvent. The method according to the invention may provide one or more of the following advantages. For example, the method can be designed to allow for recovery of substantially all of the fluorinated surfactant from a basic anion exchange resin having quaternary ammonium groups. Also, the liquid used for recovering the surfactant from the anion exchange resin is a simple liquid that can be readily and cost effectively manufactured. Further the process may be carried out in a convenient and easy manner. Furthermore, the method generally does not require large amounts of the eluting composition.
