Abstract: A system and method for classifying food products is disclosed, as well as to an associated processor-readable storage medium. Selected attributes defining sensory properties of a food product is received. The food products may be a beverages for example, such as wines. Each selected attribute is then correlated to a value. The values of the attributes are transformed into a digest code. The digest code is a condensed and unique representation of the unique combination of said selected attributes defining the sensory properties and is stored in association with the food product.

Abstract: A free trade qualification system to determine whether finished products qualify for a given free trade agreement. Bill of materials maintenance uses tables that constitute the bill of materials, including an item master table and an item relationship table. The item master table contains records for the parts and finished products. The item relationship table contains all relationships between items structured as parent to child in a recursive manner. Free trade qualification traverses the bill of materials to calculate whether a given finished product is qualified. The harmonized tariff code for the part or subassembly being processed is evaluated in terms of the appropriate qualification rules to determine which of these rules applies to the part in the context of its relationship to the subassembly being processed.

Abstract: The present invention is a nightwear for children which is absorbent, washable, and reusable, and which is constituted of inner portion formed of a super light and soft fabric made of micropolar allowing to keep the body dry due to the fact that urine is directly absorbed by a cotton fabric forming a central portion, and which is connected to an outer portion made of waterproof fabric being provided with horizontal seams dive to allow urine to move towards the seams connecting the central portion to the inner portion of the nightwear. A seam sealer is used to prevent that urine passes through holes in the seams. The garment has elastic band and Velcro strips at the waist for keeping urine inside the nightwear. The nightwear has elastic band at thighs for the short pant and at ankles for the long pant or the babygro for keeping urine inside the nightwear.

Abstract: Electrolysis device intended to produce hydrogen by the reduction of water, comprising a cathode compartment, an anode compartment, and an element connecting said compartments and allowing ions to migrate between them, the device being characterized in that the cathode compartment contains at least one weak acid capable of catalyzing the reduction and an electrolytic solution, the pH of which is in the range between 3 and 9.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a concrete foundation wall. A trench is opened in the ground and a form is inserted into the trench. The form is made up of a pair of spaced-apart opposing panels, which define a cavity. The panels may be made of a thermal insulating material, which may be extruded foam insulation or, more particularly, extruded polystyrene. The panels may be supported through a combination of J-channels, spreader brackets, connecting members, and a support member. The method further includes backfilling the trench around the form with dirt and pouring concrete into the cavity. The dirt provides support for the form as the concrete is poured.

Abstract: A system and method for providing entity-based security is provided. A set of access control rules are configured and converted to a set of Java classes. Upon receipt of an access request for a data object representing an entity from a client, a proxy interface is provided to the client. The proxy receives an access request for a data object for purposes of enforcing entity-based security. A set of access control rules are checked to determine whether the user has the appropriate access rights for the request.

Abstract: A sidewall spacer is formed in a CMOS device by depositing a layer of silicon nitride on a wafer and anisotropically etching away the silicon nitride layer with a chorine-based plasma etchant.

Abstract: A rock rake includes a succession of elongated strips. The strips may be arranged as nested bands. Each successive band has a perimeter which is larger than the previous band. The bands have an inner surface for pushing objects along the ground. A base member is attached to the nested bands. The base member includes a pole or handle or supports a pole or handle for guiding the rake. A picking member may also be attached to the base member to dislodge embedded rocks from the ground during use of the rake.
