Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for use with a shale shaker and more specifically to a drilling fluid recovery chute that is attached to and receives tailings from the discharge end of a shale shaker. The drilling fluid recovery chute removes drilling fluids from the waste tailings that are discharged from the shale shaker so that they can be reused or recycled. The invention also relates to a method for recovering drilling fluids from the tailings of a shale shaker.

Abstract: A fat or grease filter for a ventilator or exhaust hood is provided, and includes a cartridge assembly that is removably attached to a tube assembly. The cartridge assembly includes at least one helix assembly that is received in an associated tube of the tube assembly. The at least one helix assembly located inside the associated tube defines a first helical air path between an inlet located at an upper front side of the tube assembly and a bottom equalizer manifold connected to the associated tube, and a second helical air path between the equalizer manifold and an outlet located at an upper back side of the tube assembly. The equalizer manifold directs the air flow from the first to the second helical air path. Centrifugal force created within the first and second helical air paths causes fatty particles to separate from the airstream and stick inside the tube.

Abstract: The steam generating assembly of the present invention subjects a food product, such as a sandwich bun, to a controlled burst of low pressure steam in order to quickly and uniformly raise the temperature of the food product to its desired serving temperature or higher. By raising the temperature to above the desired serving temperature, the storage time of a pre-assembled food product, such as a fast food sandwich may be extended without sacrificing the quality or freshness of the product. The invention claims a steam generating assembly for steam heating a pre-processed food product.

Abstract: A method for protecting a host located within a computer network. The method includes mapping a public host address for a public host to a secret host address for a secret host containing data accessible over the computer network. The public host address is available from a domain name system server. The method further includes receiving a request for communication with the secret host at the public host and forwarding the request from the public host to the secret host. The request is processed at the secret host which communicates over the network and the communication appears to be sent from the public host.

Abstract: A system for notification of a change in condition of an electronic certificate is disclosed. The system includes a certificate server comprising a processor having a computer program comprising a plurality of executable modules that are executable on the processor. A first executable module is for detecting a change in condition of an electronic certificate. A second executable module in the computer program is for notifying a user of the electronic certificate of the change in condition. The computer program may comprise a third module for negotiating a contract, called a certificate action point (CAP), with the certificate user regarding the type of change in condition the second module notifies the certificate user of, the way the second module notifies the certificate user, the diligence with which the second module notifies the certificate user of the change in condition, and a price for notifying the certificate user.
