  • Patent number: 10740852
    Abstract: Techniques and arrangements for industry vertical classification of merchants using merchant signals, based, in part, on comparing the merchant signals with collected business class profiles. The merchant signals can include reported data, collected data, and third-party data associated with the merchant. The techniques can include identifying one or more business class profiles using the data associated with the merchant and classifying and/or reclassifying the merchant within a business class using the one or more identified business class profiles.

  • Publication number: 20180202870
    Abstract: A temperature monitoring system includes an outer casing, a plurality of display elements, a plurality of buttons, a visual indicator, and a temperature sensing element. The temperature sensing element may be coupled to the outer casing and configured to sense a temperature inside a food supply unit. The temperature monitoring system continuously monitors the temperature inside of the food supply unit such as a refrigerator or steam table.

  • Patent number: 9521963
    Abstract: A respiratory component measurement system that includes an airway adapter adapted to be placed in fluid communication with an airway of a patient and a sensor element in physical communication with the airway adapter. The sensor element is adapted to detect an orientation related characteristic of the airway adapter, a motion related characteristic of the airway adapter, or both. A respiratory component sensor is also adapted to be disposed on the airway adapter so as to measure a characteristic associated with a flow of gas through the airway adapter. An indicating element coupled to the respiratory component sensor is adapted to output a representation of the orientation related characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20090242097
    Abstract: A peel plate assembly that functions in a normal position of being extended for the purposes of peeling labels from a supply web and directing them toward containers, but which can be retracted selectively by reciprocation when a label is identified as incorrect or faulty, thereby leaving faulty or incorrect labels on the label supply web at least until they are removed from the active site of label application.

  • Publication number: 20080173610
    Abstract: A container is formed as a container body having a wall that defines a beverage chamber for holding a beverage and an upper end and lower closed end. The upper end has a chamber opening. A closure is over the chamber opening and seals the chamber opening to prevent the beverage from passing through the chamber opening. A closure has a straw opening. A straw is contained within the beverage chamber and has an upper end passing through the straw opening. A removable cap is on the closure that temporarily seals the straw from the environment whereupom removal of the cap the straw is exposed for use by a user.

  • Publication number: 20060219365
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical system to automatically apply an outsert (professional information brochure) to the outside of a container which utilizes a star wheel designed to extract, without vacuum, outserts out of a hopper magazine into a star wheel pocket; once an outsert is extracted, the star wheel accelerates the outsert to match the velocity of the container to which it is to be adhered and the two are brought into contact with each other to complete the outsert placement and attachment.

  • Publication number: 20050192194
    Abstract: A cured resin dissolving composition comprising a cellulosic gelling agent prepared in n,n-dimethylacetamide, known for its high penetration and solvency to polar resins, with a glycol-ether co-solvent, 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene as a soluble amine, and a surfactant. The mixture of components form a gel-form composition while maintaining high dissolution character for cured polysulfide resins. The optimum thickness of the gel form is dependent upon the amount of the cellulose gelling agent present in the mixture. The product may be used to remove coatings and sealants present on vertical and horizontal surfaces and hard to reach areas commonly encountered when performing maintenance on aviation fuel tanks and similar equipment. Once the system has been in contact with the resin and dissolution has been allowed for a period of time, the reacted material may be wiped away or can be easily rinsed with water, an alcohol, or another hydrophilic rinse.
