Abstract: A method, system and program product for separating duties of people carrying out a business process where they have conflicting tasks to minimize the risk in the business process. The invention is deploy-able across organizational structures and provides adequate control points and identification of conflicting tasks. As a result, the business process will be effective, auditable and the likelihood of fraud or error will be minimized.

Abstract: A sliding vane pump having an inside liner with a constant radius pump arc and a constant radius stop arc, connected together by cycloidal arcs. The liner has inlet slots arranged extending around a perimeter of a liner extending into the pump arc for maximum filling of the pumping volume. A herringbone-shaped slot arrangement is provided on a outlet side which increases vane life, increases sealing around the vanes on the outlet side, and decreases liner wear. A relief/fill porting arrangement is provided to pressurize the fluid in the pump chamber, or alternately to relieve pressure from the pump chamber. An improved thrust absorber is described particularly useful for truck mounting of the pump. An asymmetrical inside profile for the liner assists in pump operation by providing a fluid mathematical profile which approaches zero acceleration forces at the point of tangency.

Abstract: A printed circuit board is fabricated by a series of steps which eliminate the necessity of post soldering cleaning of the printed circuit assembly. The board is fabricated by positioning components on the top surface and uniformly applying a hydrophobic flux to the conductor surface of the board. The board is then passed through the crest of a wave of solder at a controlled temperature and for a controlled time. The solder wave is a single wave with a bidirectional flow. The application of the hydrophobic flux according to the methods and the subsequent wave soldering of the board enables removal of the board directly from the solder flow, and storage of the board for future use.
