  • Publication number: 20220153612
    Abstract: An apparatus and method isolating ion generation from target metal precipitation and flocculation rely on an ion generator and a precipitation reactor distinct, separated, optimized, and otherwise independent, so no co-habitation of ion generation and precipitation, nor their flow regimes, is permitted. Plug flow is hyper turbulent in the ion generator. Flow is quiescent to laminar the precipitator. Coating sacrificial anodes is avoided by not over driving currents for ionization at the anode. Control of electrical resistance across flows of very high TDS (over 200 kppm, often over 225 kppm) is accomplished by selectively masking a portion of the anode, cathode, or both of such electrodes. Masks may be dielectric films or layers, such as plastic sheets or tubes, or curtains of bubbles injected into the flow near an electrode.

  • Patent number: 8661985
    Abstract: Low-profile igniter assemblies adapted for use with low-profile inflators as well as conventionally sized inflators are disclosed. Such igniter assemblies can comprise an adaptor, an ignition portion and a plurality of conductors coupled to the ignition portion and extending in a first direction from the ignition portion to an opening of the adapter. A connector is adapted to be slid into the opening in a second direction which is transverse to the first direction associated with the extension of the conductors from the ignition portion to the opening of the adapter. Igniter assemblies can be coupled with a body of an inflatable airbag system inflator, which inflator body may enclose a quantity of gas generant. Methods of making inflators adapted for use with inflatable airbag cushion systems are also included.

  • Patent number: 8408585
    Abstract: A depth to which an inflatable airbag can deploy may varied by internal tethers. If the tethers are coupled to a release assembly, then in an unreleased state, the tethers can limit the depth of airbag deployment; however, if the tethers are released, the airbag can deploy of a full depth.

  • Publication number: 20070168203
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for a content repository mapping method. In one embodiment, the method can include obtaining a context to a transaction and selecting a content repository from among a set of content repositories based upon the obtained context. Each of the content repositories can conform to a uniform data structure, but can have differing values for selected fields of the data structure. As such, the method can include mapping the selected content repository for data access during the transaction. For example, mapping the selected content repository for data access during the transaction can include setting the selected content repository as a data source for data access logic in the application.

  • Publication number: 20060288018
    Abstract: A Web services access management system which enables loosely coupled Web services can include a servlet configured to receive incoming request messages to access business logic and a mapping table associating different ones of the request messages with different business logic. Mapping logic can be disposed between the servlet and the business logic and configured to route at least part of the incoming request messages to selected ones of the business logic according to the mapping table. Finally, the system can include a response builder configured to build responses with data produced by the business logic responsive to processing incoming request messages routed by the mapping logic. In this regard, changes to the mapping logic can remain transparent to clients transmitting request messages and the business logic servicing the requests.

  • Publication number: 20060247936
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for adapting commerce system components in an SOA through business contexts. A method for adapting commerce system components in an SOA through business contexts can include determining a set of required business processes for a proposed solution. Existing ones of the commerce system components in the SOA can be identified as being able to support the set of required business processes. Also, new commerce system components can be created such that the existing ones of the commerce system components and the created components in combination support the set of required business processes for the proposed solution. A set of contexts can be selected to adapt the existing ones of the commerce system components and the created components to support the set of required business processes for the proposed solution. Finally, an activity for the proposed solution can be created utilizing the selected set of contexts.
