Abstract: A device that uses a UV sensing element capable of converting photons from a high temperature thermal source, to an electrical current. Such current is then compared with the theoretical current to be obtained from a source with the dimensions of the actual source. The theoretical current is obtained by integrating.

Abstract: Techniques for providing and implementing a single skill associated with custom functionality and system-provided functionality are described. The skill may be used to invoke functionality in response to a user input without requiring a user remember exact formulations to cause the functionality to be performed. The skill may be associated with more than one domain. For example, the skill may be associated with custom sample user inputs (corresponding to the custom functionality) that correspond to a custom domain while the skill may also be associated with system-provided sample user inputs (corresponding to the system-provided functionality) associated with a non-custom domain.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mounting bracket for the fastening an automotive clutch hydraulic pump as an automotive repair or spare part; the mounting bracket comprises an mounting bracket assembly consisting of a washer, a coupling and a cover. This mounting bracket assembly is inserted through one extremity of the damaged pedal base, and the nut with which the mounting bracket assembly will be screwed is installed through the interior of the pedal base; the safety grub screws are tightened, leaving it ready to withstand the forces exerted between the clutch pedal and the automotive hydraulic pump.

Abstract: A method includes establishing a session between a first client device and a host device to run an application on the first client device. The method includes receiving an indication to transfer the session from the first client device to a second client device. The method includes storing, in response to receiving the indication, state information of the application for the session. The method includes generating a pointer associated with the session. The method includes generating a scannable code including the pointer. The method includes scanning the displayed scannable code using an imaging element associated with the second client device. The method includes transferring, using the pointer, the session from the first client device to the second client device using the stored state information so that a second display associated with the second client device displays a most recently updated instance of the application from the first client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively recovering a target metal from an ion exchange resin are generally described. In certain embodiments, such methods and systems can be employed for metal purification and enrichment of target metal species from mixtures containing contaminating or non-target metals. In some embodiments, ion exchange is accomplished in the presence of one or more species that facilitate the recovery of a metal from a composition further comprising one or more other metals. The recovered metal-containing composition may contain the recovered metal at relatively high purity and/or in relatively large amounts. In some embodiments, the conditions present during ion exchange are varied in a manner that facilitates the enrichment of a metal from an initial (e.g.

Abstract: A user registers with a reverse procurement service. The user then searches an electronic marketplace, which is external to a remote procurement service and, subsequently, selects various items to be placed in a shopping cart or project. Upon checkout, the items are submitted for approval to the remote procurement service which is external to the reverse procurement service. The remote procurement service obtains approval and sends payment information to the reverse procurement service. Upon receive of payment information, the reverse procurement service then initiates a process for providing the approved items to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a uniform resource identifier (“URI”) based on information relating to a transaction between two or more parties, and verifying the authenticity of the information embedded in the URI before generating a user interface to be displayed to one of the parties to the transaction. For example, the URI may include information relating to the terms of the transaction to which the parties have agreed. A system associated with a facilitator of the transaction may verify the authenticity of the terms embedded in the URI before dynamically generating a user interface that enables the transaction to proceed.

Abstract: Methods for certifying a security document comprising the steps of: a) selecting a set of unique characteristics, obtained as the result of the variations in the manufacturing process and supplies, b) getting a digital image of a security document and obtaining data of the relative position between features selected from different manufacturing processes (register), c) constructing a message by measuring the register of selected features from the document and the document ID data, d) constructing a hashed message, the hashed message being the message obtained after being encoded by means of a unidirectional cryptographic hash function, e) encrypting the hashed message using a public key cryptographic system to obtain a digital certificate by means of a private key, and f) storing the digital certificate in an external database.

Abstract: A freshness tracking and monitoring system (“System”) and method used for ensuring the freshness of perishable goods, goods fit for human consumption, and final products made from perishable good or goods fit for human consumption (“Items”). The System monitors in a continuous manner all significant environment and transportation parameters associated with an Item, from harvest or production until acquisition for consumption or production, alerts when an Item's monitored variable exceeds a predetermined parameter, takes corrective actions while in transportation, and provides advice about possible changes in the nature of the Item.

Abstract: A reciprocating motor, comprising: a piston/cylinder assembly, having an input/output port; an electrolytic cell for generating a combustible mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases, the cell being connected to the input/output port of the piston/cylinder assembly; and, means for igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder, the piston being first driven outwardly by the force of the exploding gas mixture, and immediately afterward, being pulled back by a vacuum formed when the exploded gas mixture recombines into a trace amount of water, whereby a single charge of the combustible gas mixture achieves a double power stroke. The input/output port is preferably funnel shaped, the larger end being directed into the cylinder, and the smaller end being directed into the electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell utilizes sets of bipolar electrodes in the form of laminated panels having a wrap-around overlapping border. A free wheeling piston can be utilized to drive a pump.
