Abstract: Method of selectively predicting hydrocarbon concentration in a sample of unknown hydrocarbon concentration, by (i) separately subjecting two or more samples of known hydrocarbon concentration to infrared (IR) radiation, (ii) separately detecting an IR signal from the samples of known hydrocarbon concentration, (iii) analyzing the IR signals using a multivariate chemometric technique to produce a training data set, (iv) generating a predictive model for hydrocarbon concentration based on the training data set, (v) subjecting the unknown sample to infrared (IR) radiation, (vi) detecting an IR signal from the unknown sample, (vii) applying the predictive model to the IR signal from the unknown sample. Thereafter, as step (viii), hydrocarbon concentration in the unknown sample is selectively predicted.

Abstract: A water delivery device is described which includes an outlet pipe through which water is ejected to provide a water display. A disk is positioned relative to the outlet pipe. The relative positions of the disk and outlet pipe are moved so that the disk is located within the outlet pipe or above it to alter the appearance of the water leaving the outlet pipe. As the relative position of the disk and outlet pipe varies, a sequence of water expressions is provided.

Abstract: Method for the selective detection of petroleum hydrocarbon in an environmental sample containing natural organic matter. The method includes subjecting the sample to infrared (IR) radiation, and detecting an IR signal centered on a signal at 1380 cm?1, 2690 cm?1, 2730 cm?1, 2830 cm?1, 2870 cm?1, 4164 cm?1, 4256 cm?1, 4329 cm?1 and/or 4388 cm?1. Detection of the IR signal indicates the presence of petroleum hydrocarbon in said sample.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of selectively predicting hydrocarbon concentration in a sample of unknown hydrocarbon concentration (the unknown sample). The method comprises the steps of: (i) separately subjecting two or more samples of known hydrocarbon concentration to infrared (IR) radiation; (ii) separately detecting an IR signal from the samples of known hydrocarbon concentration; (iii) analysing the IR signals using a multivariate chemometric technique to produce a training data set; (iv) generating a predictive model for hydrocarbon concentration based on the training data set; (v) subjecting the unknown sample to infrared (IR) radiation; (vi) detecting an IR signal from the unknown sample; (vii) applying the predictive model to the IR signal from the unknown sample; and thereafter (viii) selectively predicting hydrocarbon concentration in the unknown sample.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method receives a request for contact information associated with a customer. The method determines a plurality of contact values associated with the customer. The plurality of contact values include a first set of contact values that a first line of business associates with the customer and a second set of contact values that a second line of business associates with the customer. The method determines priority information associated with each contact value. In response to the request for contact information, the method communicates one or more of the contact values. For each contact value being communicated, the method communicates at least some of the priority information associated with the each contact value being communicated.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a by-product from drinking water treatment, namely alum sludge, in a method and composition for the stabilisation of contaminants (e.g. arsenic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) in materials such as soils and other solid or semi-solid matrix types. The composition may also comprise a reactive carbon material such as activated carbon. Further, the composition may comprise a solidifier such as calcium silicate-based cement to enable the stabilisation and immobilisation of contaminants.
