Abstract: The present invention provides a means for efficiently and securely collecting, storing, and sharing all types of personal, electronic information from, for and between individuals and business users using software that runs on multiple personal, business and cloud computing systems. The information of a primary user is stored in an encrypted relational database which associates the private data with private data fields needed by secondary users or various business users. Each entity is assigned one unique user identity to ensure consistency in data privacy and sharing. Attributes for data groups exist to define the secondary users and business users who the primary user has authorized for access to or master sourcing of certified data. Change lists, including conditions for implementation, are created to facilitate management, scheduling and distribution of changes. Collection, storage, and distribution of personal data is assisted by robotic process automation algorithms.

Abstract: A hydraulic particle separator is described. The particle separator comprises a main body having a top, a bottom, and a wall enclosing an interior cavity. At least one feed port is disposed on the top of the main body to introduce crude particle mixtures. A partition disposed within the cavity separates the cavity into a lower chamber and an upper chamber. The partition has at least one orifice for fluidic communication between the upper chamber and lower chamber. One or more grooves extend vertically along the interior surface of the wall. At least one tangential flow inlet port is disposed along the wall of the upper chamber above the partition.

Abstract: An innovative compact high efficiency hydraulic particle separator is disclosed. Featured embodiments of the innovative separator comprise a cylindrical main body having an upper chamber and a lower chamber separated by a partition. A liquid fluid flow upwelling through the partition from the lower chamber is caused to mix with tangential jet of fluid flowing introduced above the partition in the upper chamber produces a spiral flow within the upper chamber and flows upward to the top of the apparatus. Particle mixtures containing low density and high specific gravity particles and other solids are introduced into the upper chamber are immediately contacted by the upward spiral flow, where low-density particles are immediately entrained in the spiral flow and separated from the high-density particles, swept upward and exit the apparatus.

Abstract: A facility for evaluating an advertising strategy with respect to a subject website is described. The facility receives a specification of the advertising strategy. The specification indicates how to apply the advertising strategy to select one of a plurality of advertising campaigns in response to each page request against the subject website. The facility applies the advertising strategy in accordance with the received advertising strategy specification to a sequence of page requests earlier received against the subject website. The facility then assesses the results of applying the advertising strategy in accordance with the received advertising strategy specification to the earlier-received page requests.

Abstract: An apparatus for the analysis of a sample by means of an infrared (IR) spectroscopy, comprising a vessel (1) rotating during operation for holding the sample, a measuring head (2, 2?) connected with the vessel, a spectrometer (8) which is supplied with IR radiation reflected by the sample, and at least one first optical fiber element (4a) for transmitting the IR radiation reflected by the sample, is characterized in that the spectrometer (8) is stationary and a first rotary feed through (7, 7?, 7a, 7a?) is provided for coupling the reflected IR radiation from the first optical fiber element (4a) into a second optical fiber element (4b), in which the first optical fiber element (4a) is connected with the rotating part of the first rotary feed through (7, 7?, 7a, 7a?) and the spectrometer (8) is connected with the stationary part of the first rotary feed through (7, 7?, 7a, 7a?) via the second optical fiber element (4b).

Abstract: An automatic, self-regulating method of water treatment for use in water circulating towers in which water is evaporated, and make up water is added, with components which synergistically function to cut chemical, energy, water, corrosion, pollution, and maintenance costs, by passing the water through a Water Conditioning unit to prevent adhering evaporation scale deposits along with their content of concentrated biofouling nutrients from forming on the flooded surfaces of the tower and its associated water flow circuit, adding.
