  • Publication number: 20150149286
    Abstract: Systems and methods for matching consumers with providers are provided. A method includes obtaining scheduling information and provider information associated with providers, the scheduling information comprising availability information and location information associated with each of the providers for different time blocks, and the provider information including goods or services information associated with each of the providers. The method also includes receiving a query associated with a consumer specifying a good or service to be provided to the consumer and a requested location for the providing. The method also includes generating, based on the scheduling information, a response to the query. The response can include an identification of providers available to provide the good or the service at the location and times each of the identified providers is available to provide the good or the service at the location.

  • Publication number: 20150074226
    Abstract: An in-flight system provides a user with an entertainment environment including movies, music, games, internet, map, etc. The in-flight system provides stored media content on one or more servers located throughout an aircraft cabin and each server is associated with a plurality of seats. In a preferred embodiment, the in-flight system provides for a communication port (e.g., USB or mini-USB connector or micro-USB connector) for connection to personal electronic device providing access to the server containing the stored media, access to an internet connection, and power. In one embodiment, the in-flight system provides for a seat display unit (typically located in the seat back of the next forward seat) and associated media module hardware to process the stored media content and drive the display.

  • Publication number: 20150056326
    Abstract: A hybrid continuous fermentation system and related process for fermenting sugars to produce alcohol containing liquors. The system includes a fermentor arranged with a packed bed region and a fluidized bed region. A yeast bed is retained in the packed bed region using a retention matrix and flocculation. A sugar supply is directed through the yeast bed with sufficient dwell time for satisfactory sugar conversion. The fluidized bed region is arranged to allow fermented product to pass through the fermentor while allowing yeast cell growth and retention. A nutrient may be added to the fermentor to aid in yeast flocculation. The fermentor is sized and shaped to allow sufficient dwell time of the sugar supply in the packed bed region and in the fluidized bed region to maximize sugar conversion to ethanol by fermentation.

  • Publication number: 20150030688
    Abstract: Tissue engineering structures with biologically favorable structural and chemical properties are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to tissue engineered scaffolds having a fiber support and honey. The tissue engineered scaffolds having a fiber support and honey can further include at least one biomolecule. The tissue engineered scaffolds can be used to promote cellular chemotaxis, enhance cell proliferation, enhance extracellular matrix production, increase angiogenesis, and provide antimicrobial activity. The nature of the tissue engineered scaffolds provides a template for cellular infiltration and guide tissue regeneration. The tissue engineered scaffolds can be used in the treatment of dermal wounds (burns, chronic wounds, etc.) or as a tissue engineering scaffold in a wide range of applications.
