  • Patent number: 9454774
    Abstract: A method and a system to promote a publication are provided. In example embodiments, data is received from a user that is used to create a publication for placement on a networked-based system. An indication to promote the publication on the networked-based system is received. A user interface through which the user selects an option to promote the publication on the network-based system is presented. The publication is published on the network-based system, whereby the publication is promoted based on the option selected to promote the publication.

  • Publication number: 20100153245
    Abstract: An accounting method and system is disclosed that provides for real time financial accounting of plant performance at a sub-plant level. A multiplicity of process variable transmitters is utilized to sense, in real time, the current state of the processes and process equipment used in a manufacturing plant. Sub-plant accounting modules utilize the sensed process data to calculate a plurality of sub-plant accounting measures, which are stored in one or more real time plant historian. The accounting measures are typically converted to a suitable format and subsequently stored in a production model accounting database where they are accessible to an accounting module.

  • Patent number: 6220850
    Abstract: An injection molding machine, and stack assembly, employing a novel mold gate insert that can decrease the cycle time of the machine, and crystallinity and other defects in the mold gate area of plastic articles. A mold gate insert is described that is formed in two pieces. A first portion of the insert can forms a gate land for valve gated machines, and can thermally shield the nozzle tip. This first portion is made of a wear resistant material having a relatively low thermal conductivity, such as H13 tool steel. A second portion of the insert forms a section of the mold cavity and is made of a relatively highly thermally conductive material, such as beryllium copper. During the cooling phase of the injection cycle, the second portion provides rapid dissipation of heat to cool the section of the mold cavity, while the first portion creates a thermal barrier to shield the nozzle tip from the cooling of the second portion.
