Abstract: A provider of a first network-based service provides a list of user data for users of the first network-based service to a provider of a second network-based service. The users associated with the list of user data access results of the one or more identity monitoring services from the first network-based service, the second network-based service, a third-party identity monitoring service, or any suitable combination thereof. Additional services are offered to one or more users associated with the list of user data. A user accepting the offer pays a fee to the offering provider for the additional service. Based on the user being associated with the list of user data provided by the provider of the first network-based service and the user paying the fee for the additional service, a portion of the fee is transferred to the provider of the first network-based service.

Abstract: A shock absorber designed for insertion within a container. The shock absorber presents a support surface on one side intended to contact the surface of one or more items contained within the container, and a spring side including compression elements, in contact with an interior surface of the container, intended to urge the support surface into contact with the items contained within the container. Use of the Shock absorber of the invention may eliminate the need for foam inserts or cushions, which can greatly reduce outgassing of anions or cations generally associated with foam. The container and shock absorber may be suitable for reuse and recycling.

Abstract: An electric motor including a rotor with a generally cylindrical rotor wall and a plurality of magnetic field producing elements mounted on an inside surface of the rotor wall, the rotor being mounted for rotation around a central stator, wherein the magnetic field producing elements are mounted on the rotor wall by means of a plurality of resilient retaining members, at least one resilient retaining member being located between and engaging with edges of two adjacent magnetic field producing elements, the edges of the magnetic field producing elements extending generally parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotor, the resilient retaining member being elastically deformed so as to exert a retaining force on the magnetic field producing elements.

Abstract: A wafer shipping and storage container includes a base, a tray, and a lid. The base is rigid providing a platform for the tray. The base has a tray recess dimensioned to be slightly larger than the tray. The tray recess has a plurality of elastic pillars attached that project away from the top surface. Each pillar is encompassed by an elastic stop shorter than the pillars. The tray has a wafer recess dimensioned to accept a disk. The perimeter of the top surface has a plurality of holes passing through the tray that correspond in size and placement to accept the pillars from the base. An additional adhesive recess may be recessed within the disk recess. The adhesive recess is sized to contain a gel adhesive or other releasable adhesive containing a plurality of support strands, which may be used to support and hold the disk within the tray. One or more vacuum openings may extend to the adhesive recess to pull the adhesive away from the disk when the disk is being removed from the tray.

Abstract: Aqueous effluent liquors such as those derived from the ash-slagging of coal are treated to remove halide, e.g. chloride ions by heating the liquor to 400.degree. C. to 500.degree. C. and contacting the vapor with, for example, a fixed or fluidized bed of calcium carbonate maintained at the reaction temperature.During the heating, the temperature is increased at a rate of at least 50.degree. C. sec.sup.-1 over the range 100.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. The treated liquor may be used as a reactant in the ash-slagging gasification of coal.

Abstract: A lithium/chalcogen thermal cell having a ceramic electrolyte and a lithium ion-containing salt intermediate the anode and the electrolyte. The chalcogen is preferably selenium or sulphur and the ceramic electrolyte is preferably .beta.alumina, or .beta."alumina, or Li.sub.4 SiO.sub.4, or Li.sub.4 TiO.sub.4. Contact between the anode and the electrolyte is prevented by the intermediate salt and the ceramic electrolyte prevents self discharge of the cell resulting from dissolution of the electrode materials.
