Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product provide identification of split electronic records, and temporarily preventing electronic records from being transmitted. Electronic records may be split by a separate system for transmission to various systems and are identified and reconciled. Certain electronic records may be temporarily prevented from being transmitted, to allow for review and/or modification prior to further processing. New electronic records that are unmatched to original electronic records, as well as rejected electronic records, can therefore be reduced, and the related systems are improved accordingly.

Abstract: A system for cementing a borehole with foamed cement includes a gas delivery assembly mounted on a movable support structure, the gas delivery assembly configured to supply a gas to a cement slurry to generate a foamed cement slurry. The gas delivery assembly includes a heating element in thermal communication with a gas supply, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a flow meter, and an automated control valve in fluid communication with the gas supply. The gas delivery assembly also includes a control module including a processing device configured to control a temperature and a flow rate of the gas supplied to the cement slurry based on a desired flow rate and measurements from the temperature sensor, the pressure sensor and the flow meter.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system, method and computer program product for normalizing data obtained from a plurality of social networks coupled to a network such as the Internet are disclosed. The system may include an interface adapted to access information from a plurality of social networks. The information that is obtained from each social network may include personal information about with the user as well as social graphs of the user that map the user to his or her friends. A data analyzer may be provided to compare the personal information obtained from the plurality of social networks to determine a normalized set of personal information for the user. The data analyzer may also compare the social graphs to determine a normalized set of friends associated with the user.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a third-party system that allows parents or authorized guardians to continually grant permissions to several websites and online services and provides a one-time-authentication process of the parent-child relationship. Through this system, the need to re-authenticate the parent-child relationship or for each online company to build their own authentication system and COPPA record keeping mechanisms can be reduced or eliminated. In addition, the embodiments provided herein may afford a service for managing COPPA compliance that is relatively easy for online companies to integrate into their online services and websites.

Abstract: This invention relates to the transient expression of heterologous polypeptides in mammalian cell lines. Specifically it relates to an expression-enhanced cell line derived from a parent cell line, the expression-enhanced cell line comprising nucleic acid encoding Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 or a functional derivative, analogue, or variant thereof; and further comprising: (a) a nucleic acid encoding an exogenous glutamine synthetase; (b) a nucleic acid encoding an endogenous glutamine synthetase, wherein the endogenous glutamine is arranged to have enhanced enzymatic activity and/or enhanced expression relative to the parent cell line under comparable conditions; or (c) both (a) and (b).

Abstract: Various embodiments of a system, method and computer program product for assessing an aggregate risk score for a user of a social network's online activities are described. The system may include an interface adapted to obtain information about online activities concerning a subject via a network such as the Internet. An analyzing component may be provided to analyze the collected information in order to find one or more potential dangers to the subject. The analyzing component may then associate a severity level to each identified potential danger and then assigning a weight to each identified potential danger based on its associated severity level and the current age of the identified potential danger. Next, the analyzer may aggregate the weighted identified potential dangers in order to obtain an aggregate online risk score for the subject.

Abstract: A protective sports helmet includes features that promote efficient fit adjustment and efficient donning and removal of the helmet. The helmet optionally includes a front shell portion pivotably connected to a rear shell portion to promote easy donning and removal of the helmet. Further, the upper region of the front shell optionally is longitudinally adjustable relative to the upper region of the rear shell. Cam mechanisms optionally are provided on the helmet shell for securing straps of a chin cup at desired lengths. The cam mechanisms optionally each include a self-energizing grip member that increasingly engages the strap when the strap is pulled taut while the cam mechanism is in the locked position. A face guard optionally is attached within the helmet shell structure, or within padding inside the shell, which provides a smooth helmet exterior and promotes distributed energy transfer from the face guard to the helmet shell.

Abstract: A binding or boot strap is provided that allows a rider to easily, rapidly and/or effectively tighten and/or loosen the strap about his or her boot. The strap includes a boot-engaging strap portion that engages with an engagement strap coupleable to the boot, as may be the case with boots used for step-in bindings, or to the binding, as may be the case with strap-type bindings. An arrangement for facilitating tightening/loosening of the two strap pieces so that a rider can slip his or her foot into or out from the boot or fasten the boot to or loosen it from a snowboard binding is also provided. In one embodiment, this arrangement includes a tightening element, such as for example a cord, lace or strap, suitably coupled to one or both strap portions such that a rider can pull on the tightening element to move the strap pieces relative to each other and tighten the strap.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a gliding board binding, such as a snowboard binding. The binding may include an adjustment indicator that allows for determination of a longitudinal position of the base relative to a gliding board, heel-to-toe position of the base relative to a gliding board and/or an angular position of the base relative to a gliding board when the base is secured to the gliding board. The adjustment indicator may be included with a footbed that is removable from a binding base, e.g., that includes a foot engagement member to secure a rider's foot to the binding and board. A removable footbed may include a toe portion that is adjustable in position relative to a heel portion of the footbed. A gliding board may include a channel for mounting a binding that is arranged in the board core so that no portion of the board core is located on top or bottom sides of the channel, and instead so the top and bottom reinforcement layers are located above and below the channel.
