Abstract: An apparatus for distributing oil into fluid food product includes a batch tank, a transfer line, a pressure tank, a funnel, an oil dispenser, an inline shear mixer, and a flow line. The batch tank holds a volume of fluid food product. The transfer line is in fluid connection with the batch tank. The pressure tank holds a volume of oil. The funnel is disposed through a top opening in the pressure tank and dispenses oil into the pressure tank. A stem portion of the funnel extends at least halfway into an interior of the pressure tank. The funnel includes at least one vent. The oil dispenser dispenses oil from the pressure tank into a flow of fluid food product from the batch tank. The inline shear mixer mixes the fluid food product and the oil. The flow line flows the fluid food product-and-oil mixture to the batch tank.

Abstract: A dispenser for the delivery of a droplet of a liquid comprises a housing which defines an outlet orifice, a tip seal, biased against the housing to seal the outlet orifice, and a dosing pump for pumping a liquid to the outlet nozzle. The dispenser further comprises an actuation pump configured to provide a hydraulic opening force to the tip seal for opening of the outlet orifice. Preferably the actuation pump is configured to operate at a higher pressure than the dosing pump.

Abstract: In an example, a processing device is provided. The processing device may be configured to determine whether to send a first version of a stream manifest corresponding to a received a selection of one of a plurality of stream variants of a video content asset. The processing device may be configured to, in response to determining to not send the first version, send a second different version of the stream manifest. In an example, the first version includes only a subset of a plurality of entries included in the second version and/or a bootstrap current media time that is different than an actual current media time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of establishing access to content based on a future condition comprising providing an identifier at a user device; accessing a catalogue of available content based on the identifier; selecting at least one content identifier from the catalogue; and selectively enabling content associated with the content identifier in dependence on a future condition. Reserving multimedia content such as video for a journey or flight and during the flight or journey the selected content is streamed to the user's mobile device.

Abstract: The present application relates to encapsulated benefit agents, compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents and processes for making and using compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents that do not require or require a reduced amount of scavenger materials. Such encapsulated benefit agents, compositions comprising such encapsulated benefit agents are processed such that no or lower levels of scavenger materials are required.

Abstract: A method is provided for welding workpieces together while minimizing distortion in those workpieces. That method includes loading the workpieces to be welded together into a periphery clamp welding fixture. This is followed by tack welding the workpieces together by means of spot welds. Next is the removing of a portion of the welding fixture in order to provide an open field with respect to the workpieces and then completing welding of the workpieces together in the open field. Thus, the entire weld process may be completed utilizing a single periphery clamp welding fixture.

Abstract: A clothing strap retention device, or “holder,” in accordance with the techniques of the present disclosure enables a user to retain multiple shoulder or equivalent straps of a clothing garment proximate to one another at a region along the length of the straps. As a result, the effective length of the straps is reduced and the movement of the straps is restricted, thereby lifting up the garment and providing a better, more comfortable fit. Specifically, the holder includes a planar central portion having an equidimensional geometry that provides structural integrity to the holder, thereby enabling it to withstand torsional forces and prevent or reduce distortion such as twisting and warping. Additionally, the central portion includes a surface suitable for one or more of printing, embossing, and attaching an adhesive label to include any combination of text and graphical content for use in any of product marking, ornamental design, and advertisement.

Abstract: Systems and methods to monitor an asset in an operating process unit are disclosed. An example method includes monitoring one or more equipment parameters associated with an asset in an operating process unit, monitoring one or more process parameters associated with the asset, and determining an asset health value corresponding to the asset based on the one or more monitored equipment parameters, process parameters, and baseline data associated with the one or more equipment parameters.
