Abstract: A method for applying a chemical treatment to a process stream in an ethanol production/corn oil extraction system. The method includes applying the chemical treatment to the process stream before or during fermentation of an emulsified oil precursor product in the process stream to demulsify the emulsified oil precursor product, and extracting the demulsified oil from the emulsified oil precursor product.

Abstract: Provided herein is a consolidated vehicle information system or information cluster. The information cluster can include a vehicle based data processing system to generate a plurality of predictive content items corresponding to a user of a vehicle. The information cluster can include a predictive interface having a plurality of displays to display predictive content items. The vehicle based data processing system can arrange the plurality of predictive content items within the plurality of displays based on relevance scores assigned to the predictive content items. The vehicle based data processing system can receive a first input corresponding to a first predictive content item and identify a first application corresponding to the first predictive content item. The vehicle based data processing system can generate updated relevance scores and modify the arrangement of the predictive content items within the displays based on the updated second relevance scores.

Abstract: Provided herein is a vehicle instrument cluster consolidation system. The consolidated instrument cluster includes a vehicle based data processing system communicatively coupled with a display module. The display module can include multiple windows to display a plurality of menu items. The vehicle based data processing system communicatively can couple with the display module, input devices, and sliders to interact with the menu items provided within the multiple windows. The vehicle based data processing system can receive a motion input indicating a direction to relocate the plurality of menu items within the multiple windows. The vehicle based data processing system to, responsive to the motion input, relocate a first menu item from the center window to a second offset window and relocate a second menu item from a first offset window to the center window.

Abstract: Provided herein is a consolidated vehicle information cluster. The information cluster can include a vehicle based data processing system in a vehicle having a search module and a prediction module. The information cluster can include a search interface provided within a first display of a display module. The search interface can obtain a first input and can identify a first data file and a second data file. The prediction module can generate, from the first data file, a first data structure and, from the second data file, a second data structure. The vehicle based data processing system can provide a first output corresponding to the first data structure and a second output corresponding to the second data structure for concurrent display by the search interface. The search interface can receive a user selection of the second output corresponding to the second data structure.

Abstract: Provided herein is a consolidated vehicle navigation and information interface for a vehicle. The consolidated interface can include a vehicle based data processing unit coupled with a display module and a navigation application to provide a consolidated interface. The consolidated interface can consolidate a plurality of displays for different systems of the vehicle within the display module. The consolidated interface can include at least one display dedicated to providing the navigation application and a map. The navigation application can provide a plurality of points of interest within the map and receive an input corresponding to an interaction with at least one point of interest. The navigation application can generate a request identifying a third party application corresponding to the point of interest. The request can include a function for the third party application corresponding to a service, product, or data corresponding to the third party application, for example.

Abstract: Various implementations of the invention provide for a one-piece surgical stapling apparatus that includes a stapler head and an anvil head assembly. The anvil head assembly is tiltable between a tilted position and a transverse position, and anvil plates of the anvil head assembly are moveable about one or more hinges between a closed and an open position. When in the tilted and closed positions, the anvil assembly has a reduced footprint that allows the anvil assembly to be passed directly through a trocar and holes created in the bodily tissues, which eliminates the need for separate placement of the anvil head. At the site of the anastomosis, the anvil head assembly can be moved to the transverse and open positions, and the stapling head may be engaged to fire staples against the anvil head.

Abstract: An active feedback interface for a touch screen display that includes display of visual cues to indicate when and where the display was touched by a user. The visual cues may change over a period of time in accordance with a particular active or inactive area of the touch screen contacted by a user finger.

Abstract: This invention is about a sustained learning flow process making e-learning and advertising more efficient and effective by enabling the personalization narratives to be delivered to the user that combine e-learning and advertising content. The invention makes itself aware of the user and his or her needs, skills, interests, and many other aspects to present the user with advertisements and e-learning content blended together and delivered to the user according to the multiple narrative flows, telling the user a multi-faceted story which is relevant to both e-learning goals and advertising preferences, as opposed to traditonal online ads devoid of personalized e-learning content. This invention combines the recent developments in e-learning and online advertising space in a unique manner to implement this Sustained Learning Flow Process.

Abstract: An assembly for monitoring a fluid operation including a plug member operatively arranged to impede fluid flow past the plug when the plug member is engaged with a seat. A conveyor is coupled to the plug and operatively arranged for positioning the plug at a desired location. A signal conductor is disposed with the conveyor. At least one sensor is coupled with the signal conductor for monitoring one or more parameters related to the fluid operation. A method of monitoring a fluid operation is also included.
