  • Publication number: 20090050022
    Abstract: Materials produced by foaming of particular cementitious compositions of geopolymeric or pozzolanic type in highly alkaline milieu without appreciable addition of dissolved silicate. Methods of manufacturing cementitious compositions are provided by using hypochlorite as a foaming agent therein. An aqueous cementitious slurry may be activated, first to foam, and then to set hard, by a process of applied heat, into useful materials and articles of hardened cellular cementitious composition. This process suggests advantage for a production process.

  • Publication number: 20080133284
    Abstract: A travel forecast and allocation computing system and method for prospective and other travel purchasers to access for requesting, receiving, and re-allocating rights to travel on passenger transportation vehicles, whereby a travel purchaser may have an opportunity of re-allocating its purchased right to travel to one or another of travel purchasers by trading it, and whereby a travel provider may have an opportunity of efficiently allocating transport to service binding travel requests and have further opportunity of relief from providing changes to reservations. The present invention makes possible economic incentive for travellers to forecast their own travel behaviour, and enable economic incentive for travellers to commit far into the future to specific travel so that airlines need not rely on their own forecasting of demand to plan their operations.
