Abstract: Recycle fiber bleaching includes an oxygen pre-treatment to activate the fiber for further bleaching. A preferred method of making a high brightness papermaking pulp from recycled cellulose fiber includes: (a) pre-treating a first recycled cellulosic fiber mix with oxygen, said first recycled cellulosic fiber mix having a first high Kappa number prior to pre-treatment and a reduced Kappa number after pre-treatment that is lower than said first high Kappa number; and (b) blending the pre-treated first recycled cellulosic fiber mix with the reduced Kappa number with a second recycled cellulosic fiber mix having a second Kappa number lower than the first high Kappa number of the first recycled cellulosic fiber mix; and (c) oxidatively bleaching the blended recycled cellulosic fiber mix of step (b); and optionally (d) reductively bleaching the blended recycled cellulosic fiber mix of step (c).

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses that are configured to receive an indication that a web browsing session executing on an enterprise server needs additional information based on a request for additional information being sent to a client device. The request may include an identifier of the web browsing session and an identifier of an enterprise server that initiated the web browsing session. A globally unique identifier related to the web browsing session and an identifier of the enterprise server is stored in a common data store. The web browsing session may be paused when the web browsing session requests additional information from a client device. The client device may respond with the additional information. The system may provide the identifier of the enterprise server to a load balancing component so the identified web browsing session executing on the enterprise server may continue to be used.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a controller that compares an indoor temperature with a dead-band range having a heating setpoint and a cooling setpoint and that operates an HVAC system in an economizer mode to cool an indoor building space by introducing outside air to the indoor building space, prior to a call for cooling being received, in response to the indoor temperature being within the dead-band range and increasing.

Abstract: A system and method for advanced digital economization for an HVAC system having an economizer. A digital processing unit is configured to open a damper of an economizer within a dead-band range that allows for preemptive cooling prior to a call for cooling. This economization strategy allows for free cooling (outside air) without having to pay energy costs for cooled (air-conditioned) air. The system and method can be used with or without demand control ventilation (DCV). The method also includes a “self-learning” strategy with outside air and return air sensor to regularly sense past economizer damper modifications and average out recent readings to help set the dead-band range. The method can include the ability to work in conjunction with a variable supply fan speed control, provide fault detection, self-correct, auto-configure, and report system status.

Abstract: A holographic projection system is disclosed for cost-effectively generating “real image” holographic images. In at least one embodiment, the system provides an at least one primary image source configured for projecting a primary image via an at least one light ray. A computing device is in communication with the at least one primary image source and configured for providing the primary image to be subsequently projected by the at least one primary image source. A curved reflector is positioned and configured for receiving and reflecting the at least one light ray toward a focal point of the reflector, the at least one reflected light ray converging at an image point so as to create a hologram of the projected primary image at the image point, with said hologram being viewable by an at least one observer.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically merging and attaching documents, such as photocopies of remittance checks or the like, to envelopes from which the documents originated is disclosed. The system uses a series of bins and conveyors to automatically retrieve, synchronize, merge and reassociate each document to its respective envelope.
