  • Publication number: 20210371031
    Abstract: A retaining assembly to attach one or more mobile devices to a mobile object. The retaining assembly may include a mounting plate that attaches to the mobile object by way of a mounting bracket or scorecard clip-on. The mounting bracket provides dovetails for selecting engaging the mounting plate in different orientations. The mounting plate facilitates various magnetized components to removably attach to the mobile device. If the mobile device has a third-party extensible grip, a retaining ring may be employed to attach the mobile device or the extensible grip modified to one of the various magnetized components.

  • Patent number: 9512011
    Abstract: A process for removing suspended particles and at least one ionic species from a feed water stream to produce a product water stream, the process includes the steps of forming agglomerates of the suspended particles in the feed water stream; passing the feed water stream containing agglomerated particles through a bed of particulate sorbent material so as to sorb the ionic species from the feed water onto the sorbent to provide a loaded sorbent and filter the agglomerated particles from the feed water using the bed of particulate sorbent material as a filtration medium to load the bed with the agglomerated particles, and thereby produce the product water stream; removing the filtered particles and the ionic species from the filtration medium; and re-using the regenerated sorbent in step b).

  • Patent number: 9394587
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for recovering uranium from an acidic leach solution or leach pulp in salt water using an amino-phosphorus resin, wherein the liquid phase of the leach solution or leach pulp contains greater than 3 g/L chloride ion in solution. The resin may comprise a functional group comprising an amino phosphonic group, an amino-phosphinic group, an amino phosphoric functional group and/or a combination thereof. According to the invention the leach solution or leach pulp may be generated by in-situ leaching, vat leaching, heap leaching and/or agitated leaching at ambient, elevated temperature and/or elevated pressure conditions in saline or hyper-saline water.

  • Patent number: 8266031
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate the sharing of account features. In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions and a data warehouse to record the transactions and store account data identifying account features of separate accounts, such as a second account having a feature and a first account without this feature. Account holders of the first and second accounts are in a same household and thus, in accordance with a set of rules, eligible to share the account features. A portal is configured to receive a request identifying the first account and to determine whether a transaction initiated in the first account and qualified for a benefit of the account feature is entitled to the benefit; and if so, a notification engine is to transmit a notification message to an account holder of the first account.
