  • Publication number: 20050033669
    Abstract: An automated system and method for philanthropists to gain access to projects and organizations of interest and, if desired, for projects and organizations to gain access to philanthropists or philanthropic or other funding. The system is remotely accessible so that donor, organization and project managers or team members, and others can gain access to the system from disparate locations, such as through an intranet or the Internet. The system provides tools for organizations to manage information about themselves and projects with which they are connected or in which they are interested. It also provides tools for donor users to manage information about themselves and entities in which they have donated or that they are monitoring, and tools to find an associate themselves with those and other entities. The system provides security features and provides a topology that limits outside access to underlying system data and data facilities.

  • Patent number: 4624130
    Abstract: A method for determining the erosion of a borehole or cavity by providing a source of liquid inert gas, preferably nitrogen, placing the inert gas in a storage tank, and suspending the storage tank so that one may determine the actual weight of the nitrogen as it is withdrawn from the tank in liquid state. There is further provided hydraulic means for lifting or lowering the storage tank suspended from a weight cell as a tank is placed into use or non-use. Further, the liquid nitrogen is pumped from the storage tank with the use of a reciprocating pump, and converted into gaseous nitrogen (in the state of 100.degree. F.) and is injected into a borehole or the like. The nitrogen gas is then allowed to flow under a certain pressure down the borehole, and due to the properties of nitrogen gas, the nitrogen interfaces at a horizontal plane as it moves down the borehole.
