Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, via a first user interface, a selection associated with an object; determining a first set of object attributes based on the selection; presenting, via a second user interface, a text prompt for a user to identify a subset of the first set of object attributes; receiving, via the second user interface, an indication of one or more preferred object attributes of the identified subset; and updating the first user interface to display content relating to objects associated with the one or more preferred object attributes.

Abstract: Methods and systems for linking accounts across disparate computing systems to facilitate information retrieval are described. In an example, an input string is received from a user device associated with a user account. The input string is determined to correspond to a known identifier format and a list of one or more known identifiers associated with the user account does not include an identifier matching the input string. In response, a prompt is generated, for output by the user device, to link a third-party account with the user account.

Abstract: A water heater system includes a boiler having a supply port, an output port and a recirculation input port. A heat exchanger includes first input and output ports, and second input and output ports. An averaging tank has an inlet and an outlet. A first fluid flow subsystem is for controllably directing water along a primary loop through the boiler and from the output port of the boiler to the input recirculation port via either a first path through the first ports of the heat exchanger or a second path bypassing the heat exchanger. A second fluid flow subsystem is for directing water along a secondary loop through the second ports of the heat exchanger, through the inlet and outlet of the averaging tank, and back to the heat exchanger, whereby water directed through the secondary loop is heated from water directed through the primary loop via the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A fuel equalization system includes a filter box for accepting an air stream and a fuel stream, the air stream and the fuel stream mixing to form a mixed air/fuel stream. A blower is provided that has an inlet for accepting the mixed air/fuel stream from the filter box. An air deflection member is positioned in the path of the mixed air/fuel stream, between the filter box and the inlet, so as to reduce the turbulence of the mixed air/fuel stream.

Abstract: A boiler apparatus includes a housing defining an interior boiler chamber and a burner element arranged to be in thermal communication with the boiler chamber. An ignition device is provided for instigating combustion of an inlet gas stream, and is arranged adjacent one edge of the burner element. A gas restricting device is utilized for restricting contact between the burner element and the inlet gas stream such that the inlet gas stream is initially incident upon the one edge of the burner element, thereby forcing the inlet gas stream to propagate across the burner element from the one edge.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cosmetic composition, that includes:(A) a polymer having repeating units resulting from the polymerization of the following monomers:(1) an alkyl acrylate and/or methacrylate,(2) an N-alkyl acrylamide, and(3) an acrylic and methacrylic acid;(B) a polyester or polyesteramide having repeating units resulting from the polymerization of the following monomers:(1) isophthalic acid,(2) 5-sulfoisophthalic acid,(3) diethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol or a mixture of diethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and at least one diamine having two --NRH groups, where R is hydrogen of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, and(4) optionally, at least one difunctional reactant selected from the group including hydroxycarboxylic acids having one --C(R).sub.2 --OH group, aminocarboxylic acids having one --NHR group and aminoalcohols having one --C(R).sub.

Abstract: A high-efficiency wall-mounted boiler utilizes air/fuel control via a servovalve for the gas responsive to pressure drops across air and gas orifices measured to a common downstream pressure. A ceramic burner is floatingly held against its gasket and seals the combustion chamber while the blower is of adjustable speed to allow load modulation.

Abstract: A replaceable protein skimmer and carbon filtration unit is disclosed for use with a vertical lift aquarium filtration system. The normal flow path through the vertical lift to returning the air-water mixture to the aquarium is diverted through an integrally formed plastic unit housing a carbon filtration chamber through which the diverted air-water mixture passes.
