Abstract: A method of producing compost from animal waste may include placing animal waste in a waste pit. The method may include removing liquid from a top layer of the waste pit. The waste pit may include a bottom layer disposed at a bottom of the waste pit and adjacent the top layer. The bottom layer may be composed primarily of solids. The top layer may be composed primarily of liquid. After removing the liquid from the top layer of the waste pit, the method may include agitating the waste pit to mix the top layer and the bottom layer and create sludge. The method may include pumping the sludge into a system of channels in fluid communication with each other. Each of the channels may be sloped downwardly such that the sludge travels by gravity through the system of channels.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for enabling cross platform access to a previously purchased product (PPP) are provided. Cross platform access to the PPP can be accomplished by using a datacenter capable of locally rendering content of the PPP and distributing the rendered content for consumption by a platform other than the platform for which the PPP was designed. This advantageously enables end users to use other platforms and experience the PPP in a manner that emulates or substantially replicates the same experience the user enjoys when interacting with the PPP on its designed platform.

Abstract: A measuring system includes a sensor and a positioner cooperatively engaged with the sensor. The measuring system may also include a base cooperatively engaged with the positioner such that the base and positioner cooperate to selectively secure the relative position of the sensor with respect to a first and second structure. The position of one of the structures may then be changed, and the sensor may detect the relative change in position. The sensor may communicate this change in position to a controller or other component for further processing.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for coordinating inputs received from input devices for interacting with rendered content being transmitted to a platform presenting the rendered content are provided. The input devices may be used in lieu of any user interface that may be germane to the platform to enable an enhanced experience with the rendered content.

Abstract: A release coating having improved stability under aging conditions of heat and humidity is described whose release force can be altered by varying the amount of multi-lobe emulsion polymers relative to release agent.

Abstract: A method for adhering a polyolefin roofing membrane to a roof. The method applies to the polyolefin roofing membrane an adhesive having two components. The first component is a polymer having at least 90 wt % polymerized residues of C1-C18 alkyl (meth)acrylates and C1-C18 dialkylmaleates and having a Tg no greater than ?15° C. The second component is a tackifier having an acid number no greater than 50.

Abstract: Process of preparing silica-supported catalysts. A support material comprising silica particles impregnated with an alumoxane co-catalyst with at least one-half of the co-catalyst disposed within the internal pore volume of the silica is contacted with a dispersion of a metallocene catalyst in an aromatic solvent. The dispersion and support are mixed at a temperature of about 10° C. or less to enable the metallocene to become reactively supported on and impregnated within the alumoxane-impregnated silica particles. The supported catalyst is recovered from the aromatic solvent and washed with an aromatic hydrocarbon and then a paraffinic hydrocarbon at a temperature of about 10° C. or less. The washed catalyst is dispersed in a viscous mineral oil.

Abstract: A method for preparing a pressure sensitive paper label is provided. The method is particularly useful on filled papers, especially papers filled with inorganic fillers containing multivalent cation. The pressure sensitive adhesive contains from 0.1 percent to 5 percent of a selected acid monomer, and 99.9 percent to 95 percent of at least one ethenically unsaturated monomer. Paper labels made by the method of this invention have superior age-resistance properties, and may be applied to a wide variety of substrates such as paper, metal, glass, wood, painted surfaces, corrugated board and plastic.
