Abstract: A system comprises at least one computer device in communication with one or more server computers. The system converts unstructured text into usable order details, and uses instant messaging to notify recipients of the order details. The notices include electronic web links that launch a web interface that generates an editable, pre-populated electronic order ticket based on the order details. Submission of the electronic order ticket launches an auction during which the recipients may respond with offers to fulfill to the electronic order ticket. If after the auction more than one response is needed to fill the electronic order ticket, the system automatically allocates how and in which order the responses will be used to fill the electronic order ticket. If the electronic order ticket is not completely filled after the auction, the electronic order ticket is submitted to one or more additional exchanges for further filling.

Abstract: A valve actuation system comprises a first arm having a first arm contact surface and operatively connected to a valve actuation motion. A second arm having a second arm contact surface is operatively connected to the at least one engine valve. A discrete lost motion device is provided that is controllable between a first, motion conveying state and a second, motion absorbing state. The discrete lost motion devices comprises a plunger contact surface and a housing contact surface. The housing contact surface is configured to engage one of the first or second arm contact surfaces, and the plunger contact surface is configured to engage another of the first and the second arm contact surfaces. The first and second arm contact surfaces, the housing contact surface and the first plunger contact surface are configured to support the discrete lost motion device between the first arm and the second arm.

Abstract: A fiber forming device is disclosed that is well suited to producing nonwoven webs having excellent barrier properties. In one aspect, the fiber forming device can be used to produce meltblown webs or coform webs. The fiber forming device includes a die head containing multiple rows of polymer nozzles for forming fibers. Air flow paths are positioned on either side of the rows of polymer nozzles. In addition, an air flow path is positioned in between the rows of polymer nozzles. The air flow paths produce an attenuating gas stream that attenuates fibers being produced by the polymer nozzles and directs the fibers onto a forming surface for forming nonwoven webs.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for processing ultramafic material. The system may comprise a reactor for accelerating weathering of said ultramafic material. The reactor may comprise one or more chambers comprising one or more microbes, biological medicators, or enzymatic accelerants to facilitate the weathering of the ultramafic material.

Abstract: An electric pushback vehicle includes a frame having a forward portion and a rear portion. The vehicle further includes front drive axle and a rear drive axle configured to communicate power to ground engaging members. A traction battery is housed within the electric pushback vehicle and provides electric power to an electric motor to drive an output shaft. A transmission is connected to receive mechanical power from the electric motor through a torque converter.

Abstract: A canister connection system for a negative pressure wound therapy system. The canister connection system includes an attachment fixture removably connected to a pump unit. The attachment fixture includes a first engaging mechanism disposed adjacent its first end configured to engage a corresponding first engaging mechanism of the canister and a second engaging mechanism disposed adjacent its second end for engaging a corresponding second engaging mechanism of the canister for removably connecting the canister to the pump unit.

Abstract: A negative pressure wound therapy device that includes a first tubing connectable in flow communication with a source of negative pressure configured for application of negative pressure to a wound site, a second tubing in flow communication with the wound site, and a valve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of capturing CO2 from a gas stream. The method uses a two liquid phase capture composition.

Abstract: A medical device attachment system including a mounting system having a receptacle for receiving a hook attached to a medical device. The receptacle includes a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a notch formed by the walls for closely receiving the hook. A plate mount forms a front wall of the receptacle and an appropriate attachment component is secured to the mounting plate for removably securing the mounting system to a desired support structure for the medical device.

Abstract: A negative pressure wound therapy device that includes a first tubing connectable in flow communication with a source of negative pressure configured for application of negative pressure to a wound site, a second tubing in flow communication with the wound site, and a valve.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the capture of at least one acid gas in a composition, the release of said gas from said composition and the subsequent regeneration of said composition for re-use. The method comprises the step of capturing an acid gas by contacting said acid gas with a capture composition comprising at least one salt of a carboxylic acid dissolved in a solvent system consisting substantially of water.
