  • Publication number: 20240273144
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for configuration and storage of hierarchical data. One method comprises providing a user interface to configure different variants, wherein a configuration of a given variant comprises a specification of signals associated with the given variant, wherein a given signal comprises one or more rules; obtaining one or more representations of user interactions with the user interface to configure the given variant; initiating an update of at least one database table comprising one or more records associated with the given variant based on the one or more representations of the user interactions, wherein the at least one database table stores rule values specified for the one or more signals associated with the given variant as attributes of the given variant; and initiating an automated action using the at least one database table. A given variant may be, for example, a content-related variant or a product-related variant.

  • Patent number: 9047439
    Abstract: A reactor with minimal dead volume especially suited to reverse-flow applications comprises: a) a reactor body; b) a first head engaged with said reactor body; c) a first conduit extending from outside said head to at least partially through said head; and d) a first valve in flow communication with said first conduit controlling fluid flow along a flow path extending from the first valve and through the reactor body. The reactor is especially suited for use in a process for rapid stream-switching of at least two streams in a reverse-flow reactor.

  • Publication number: 20070260110
    Abstract: Noninvasive angioplasty using momentary vacuum therapy (MVT) is applied to treat erectile dysfunction, peripheral artery disease, and deep vein thrombosis. MVT is a noninvasive angioplasty technique which momentarily increases blood pressure to flatten arterial plaque and increase arterial elasticity for peripheral artery disease and deep vein thrombosis. The workload on the heart will be reduced by the flattening of plaque and the increase in elasticity of the peripheral arteries. The reduction in workload may be a treatment for congestive heart failure (heart failure). For treating erectile dysfunction, MVT increases the elasticity of penile arteries but does not flatten penile plaque; when treating erectile dysfunction with MVT, only an increase in arterial elasticity is required.

  • Publication number: 20050019207
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for deodorizing and disinfecting a bioorganic material. The process provides for nitric acid to be formed by a displacement reaction between at least one nitrate salt and sulphuric acid, the nitric acid being mixed with the bioorganic material to be deodorized and disinfected. By forming the bioorganic material and nitric acid into a homogeneous paste having a pH below 2.5, the nitric acid will react oxidatively with the odorous components of the bioorganic material to form a chemically deodorized and disinfected reacted paste. The process can then be completed by neutralizing the reacted paste, which can hence be rendered suitable for forming a wet, organically enriched inorganic fertilizer mix that can be dried and pelletized into a compact particle fertilizer.

  • Publication number: 20030121302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for converting a bioorganic material such as sewage sludge into a wet, organically enriched inorganic fertilzer mix that permits drying and pelletizing into a compact particle fertilizer form. The process provides for effective odour control as well as disinfection of the bioorganic material, which are essentially required in accordance with United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations in relation to land applications of bioorganic materials. The drying and pelletizing process through heating of the fertlizer mix also serves to provide a sterilized particle fertilizer as required by the above regulations for particular applications. The process also provides for chemical reactions to occur that result in the formation of fire retardants which serve to avoid fire hazards that could otherwise be associated with the drying and pelletizing process.

  • Patent number: 4066156
    Abstract: Herein described is a bowling ball and bowling ball equipment carrier which includes an upper compartment for holding the equipment and a lower compartment for carrying a pair of bowling balls. A front opening door is provided for access to the lower compartment and a top opening door is provided for access to an upper compartment. A strap is provided in both the lower compartments which is placed under the bowling ball and extends into the upper compartment so that as the selected strap is pulled it moves the selected bowling ball from its resting place in the lower compartment out into a similar resting place on the front door.
