Abstract: Technologies are described for displaying independent-provider profiles in a user-interface to provide independent-providers a more equal opportunity of being selected for a service request. An example of the technology includes receiving a service request and identifying independent-provider profiles to display in a user-interface as candidates to perform the service request, wherein the independent-provider profiles are selected using factors to provide each independent-provider profile, included in a provider pool that corresponds to the parameters of the service request, a possibility of being selected.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods for forming peroxyformic acid, comprising contacting formic acid with hydrogen peroxide. The methods for forming peroxyformic acid can include adding formic acid with a relatively lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide, or adding formic acid to a peroxycarboxylic acid composition or forming composition to react with hydrogen peroxide in the compositions. The present invention also relates to peroxyformic acid formed by the above methods. The present invention further relates to the uses of peroxyformic acid for treating a variety of targets, e.g., target water, including target water used in connection with oil- and gas-field operations. The present invention further relates to methods for reducing or removing H2S or iron sulfide in the treated water source, improving clarity of the treated water source, or reducing the total dissolved oxygen or corrosion in the treated water source, using peroxyformic acid, including peroxyformic acid generated in situ.

Abstract: A starter generator located within a sump region of a turbofan engine and coupled to an adapter shaft. The adapter shaft rotationally coupled to the high pressure shaft, forward of a high pressure shaft bearing, and secured by a spanner nut. The engine makes use of two pluralities of electrical conductors, the first extends through an electrical conduit defined by a forward strut extending from the sump region to the outward casing, the second extends axially away from the electric starter. Each of the first plurality of electrical conductors makes reversible contact with a respective one of the second plurality of electrical conductors via an elbow/pin connector, producing a tight turn in area of limited space.

Abstract: Technologies are described for systems and devices to provide photosynthetically active photons to a plant. The systems may comprise an above canopy light source. The above canopy light source may be an electromagnetic radiation device. The above canopy light source may be located above a canopy of the plant. The above canopy light source may emit photosynthetically active photons of a first intensity downward, towards a canopy of the plant. The systems may comprise an under canopy light source. The under canopy light source may be an electromagnetic radiation device. The under canopy light source may be located below the lowest branches and leaves of the plant. The under canopy light source may emit photosynthetically active photons of a second intensity upwards, away from a root system of the plant. The second intensity may be 0-50 percent of the first intensity.

Abstract: Technologies are described for devices and methods to convert first wavelength electromagnetic waves to a second wavelength. The devices may comprise a light source to produce first electromagnetic waves of the first wavelength. The devices may comprise a reflector which may define an optical cavity around the light source and include a first and second end. The first end may be disposed around the light source. The reflector may reflect the first electromagnetic waves towards the second end.
