Abstract: A computing system includes a server and a client computing device. The server includes a web application, and anchor definition layers associated with the web application. The client computing device is operated by an end user and includes a display, and a native application that includes an embedded browser for accessing the web application in a customization mode. The customization mode permits display of one of the web pages along with anchors that can be customized based on what is permitted by the anchor definition layer corresponding to the displayed web page, and customization of the anchors on the displayed web page by the end user to define an anchor customization layer for the displayed web page. In normal use of the web application, the anchor customization layer is applied to the corresponding web page before the corresponding web page is displayed so as to display a customized web page without re-designing the web page itself.

Abstract: A valve seat insert includes a top convex arcuate blend for improving fluid flow, and a valve seating surface for slowing down valve recession. The valve seating surface includes a radially outer convex arcuate segment defining an outer radius of curvature forming a first wear crown for contacting the valve at an early wear state, a radially inner convex arcuate segment defining an inner radius of curvature forming a second wear crown for contacting the valve at a later wear state, and a linear segment extending between the radially outer convex arcuate segment and the radially inner convex arcuate segment.

Abstract: A hollow compact has a partition partitioning it into a first interior compartment sealed apart from a second interior compartment. The first compartment is charged with a first solvent, the second compartment with a second solvent. The solubility properties of the first and second solvent are chosen such that neither risks attacking and/or dissolving the compact. Conversely, the solubility properties of the first and second solvent are otherwise chosen such that the mixture of the two indeed possesses an independent set of solubility properties, whereby the mixture is indeed capable of attacking and dissolving the material of the compact. Wherein, breaching the partition allows the charges of the first and second solvents to mix and thereby form the mixture therebetween. That way, the compact might vanish by dissolving into the mixture solvent or else might more likely might dissolve into a nearly un-recognizable form of its former self.
