Abstract: Systems and methods for converting live weather data to a weather index for offsetting weather risk. Weather data source systems generate one or more weather data streams that include weather forecast model and observations data. A data distribution system receives a weather index request, identifies at least one instrument and at least one location associated with the request. Weather risk indication data is extracted among the weather data streams associated with the identified location based on predefined parameters associated with the identified instrument. The extracted data is converted into a set of weather index values corresponding to the location, based on a predetermined algorithm associated with the identified instrument. A weather index presentation package is generated that includes the set of weather index values for distribution to at least one user device. The weather index presentation package being distributed is updated concurrent with changes to weather risk indication data.

Abstract: A sound attenuating chimney element for a turbomachine system includes a high density outer body having an external surface and an internal surface, and one or more acoustic attenuation layers provided on the external surface of the outer body. The one or more acoustic attenuation layers include an outer surface portion and an inner surface portion. A structural layer is provided on the outer surface portion of the one or more acoustic attenuation layers. The structural layer includes an external surface that defines a duct configured and disposed to pass gases from the turbomachine system.

Abstract: A container for liquid includes a body portion for accommodating liquid and a release portion for selective release of liquid contained in the body portion. The body portion and the release portion together define a container structure shaped to facilitate manual throwing and/or catching of the container and/or rolling of the container along the ground while liquid is accommodated within the container. The container structure defined by the container is suitably substantially spheroidal. The body portion is preferably substantially deformable, to facilitate expulsion of liquid contained in the body portion by external squeezing. The release portion includes a frame portion and a seal portion. The seal portion is displaceable relative to the frame portion to occlude or to expose a discharge outlet for the passage of liquid through the outlet.

Abstract: A container (1) for liquid such as, for example, a beverage comprises a body portion (11) for accommodating liquid and a release portion (31, 61) for selective release of liquid contained in the body portion (11). The body portion (11) and the release portion (31, 61) together define a container structure shaped to facilitate manual throwing and/or catching of the container (1) and/or rolling of the container (1) along the ground while liquid is accommodated within the container (1), in particular during use in a sporting environment. The container structure defined by the container (1) is suitably substantially spheroidal. The body portion (11) is preferably substantially deformable, to facilitate expulsion of liquid contained in the body portion (11) by external squeezing. The release portion (31, 61) suitably comprises a frame portion (31) and a seal portion (61).
