  • Publication number: 20180165284
    Abstract: A facility for managing information about document-related activities is described. In some cases, the facility uses particular kinds of structures to represent, in a document graph, document-related activities performed by particular users. In some cases, the facility uses these structures to enable one user to subscribe to the document-related activities performed by another user. In some cases, the facility uses these structures to aggregate document-related activities performed by users in a group of users, such as by aggregating topics that are addressed by documents that are the subject of these document-related activities. In some cases, the facility uses particular kinds of structures to represent, in a document graph, tasks that certain users either can help with or need help with. In some cases, the facility uses these structures to match users that can help with a task with users that need help with a task.

  • Patent number: 9792888
    Abstract: An adjustable drum mount composed of a fixed component and at least one mounting component, wherein the relative position of the mounting component with respect to the fixed component is adjustable. The fixed component is durably attached to the drum shell with fasteners. The fixed component has a planar, extending member, which connects with the mounting component(s). The planar, extending member has one end, attached continuously to the bulk of the fixed component, called the fixed end. The planar, extending member has another end, disposed distal to the fixed end, called the free end, which can vibrate. The mounting components can be mounted substantially anywhere between the fixed end and the free end. The adjustment changes the stiffness with which the drum mount connects the drum leg or support to the drum.

  • Publication number: 20170262165
    Abstract: A system and user interface capable of effectively manipulating high volumes of data is provided. The system and/or user interface is specially-configured to aggregate large data volumes and translate the large data volumes into summary information associated with navigable categorizations (e.g., categorizations linked to selectable visualizations in the user interface) that enable dynamic selection and visualization of portions of the large data volumes. In one particular example, the system and/or user interface is adapted to generate selectable panels having a plurality of build or editing tools displayed coextensive with portions of the large volumes of data. Such panels may be particularly useful for generating a placement (e.g., an advertisement) while reviewing or managing large amounts of information, such as ad placement and performance information for hundreds or thousands or advertisements.

  • Publication number: 20170206366
    Abstract: A facility for interacting with an electronic document is described. The facility causes to be displayed a visual representation of the document, and receives input representing a painting interaction with a portion of the displayed visual representation of the document that corresponds to a portion of the document. In response to receiving the first input, the facility imposes on the corresponding portion of the document a distinguished content classification level.

  • Publication number: 20170177556
    Abstract: A facility for annotating portions of a document shown in a visual representation of the document with annotations reflecting aggregated document activities performed with respect to the portions is described. The facility specifies a visual representation of at least part of the document. For each of at least two portions of the document that are not identical and that are represented in the specified visual representation, the facility attaches to locations in the document's visual representation corresponding to the portion a visual annotation reflecting an aggregation operation against document activities performed with respect to the portion.

  • Publication number: 20170158976
    Abstract: A sulfidic complexing agent is disclosed that includes a suspension or a solution formed by a reaction between a water-soluble metal compound and a water-soluble sulfidic compound. The sulfidic complexing agent has a pH of from about 5 to about 11 and a molar ratio of metal to sulfur of from about 0.1 to about 1,000. The sulfidic complexing agent is useful for removing elemental mercury from a hydrocarbon fluid by contacting the hydrocarbon fluid with the sulfidic complexing agent. The molar ratio of sulfur in the sulfidic complexing agent to mercury in the hydrocarbon fluid is from about 50 to about 2,500. Also disclosed is a method for concurrently transporting and removing a trace amount of volatile mercury in a CO2-containing natural gas stream extracted from a subterranean formation. The natural gas stream is transported in a pipeline into which the sulfidic complexing agent is injected.

  • Patent number: 9610534
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for removing acid gas from a feed stream of natural gas including acid gas, methane and ethane. The methods include alternating input of the feed stream between at least two beds of adsorbent particles comprising zeolite SSZ-13 such that the feed stream contacts one of the at least two beds at a given time in an adsorption step and a tail gas stream is simultaneously vented from another of the at least two beds in a desorption step. The contact occurs at a feed pressure of from about 50 to about 1000 psia for a sufficient period of time to preferentially adsorb acid gas from the feed stream. A product gas stream is produced containing no greater than about 2 mol % carbon dioxide and at least about 65 mol % of methane recovered from the feed stream and at least about 25 mol % of ethane recovered from the feed stream. The feed stream is input at a feed end of each bed. The product gas stream is removed from a product end of each bed.
