  • Publication number: 20240133786
    Abstract: A viscosity measurement system and method of fabrication thereof, the system comprising a measuring element and a housing, the measuring element comprising a base and a counterweight, forced oscillation generating means, a tube, and a rod; the base, the counterweight and the forced oscillation means being sealed in the housing; the tube extending out of the housing through an opening in a bottom wall of the housing; the forced oscillation generating means being connected to an electric board secured to a top wall of the housing opposite the bottom wall for excitation of the rod; and the rod extending within the tube and immerging of the housing for immersion, at least in part, in a fluid to be measured, wherein the counterweight is distant from the top wall and from lateral walls of the housing, and the base is supported by the bottom wall of the housing in such a way to simultaneously provide a rigid attachment on an outer circumference of the bottom wall and on a circumference of the opening in the bottom w

  • Patent number: 11403658
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively providing post-transaction offers are described. During a transaction process for a first transaction associated with an online store, a request to provide a post-transaction offer is received. A first trust indicator associated with the online store is determined. The first trust indicator is based on historical customer response to the same or a different post-transaction offer. After determining that the first trust indicator satisfies a first trust threshold, the post-transaction offer is provided after completion of the first transaction.

  • Patent number: 11397146
    Abstract: A viscosity measurement system and method, the system comprising a housing comprising a top cover and a bottom plate, a rod having a first end and a free end, and oscillation generating means, the oscillation generating means being connected through a supporting plate to the first end of the rod, the free end of the rod extending out of the bottom plate through an opening in the bottom plate; wherein the opening bottom in the bottom plate is sealed around the rod by at least one of: compression rings, bellows; a flexible circumferential part of the bottom plate around the opening; Tig welding of the rod to the opening in the bottom plate; and brazing of the rod to the opening in the bottom plate.

  • Patent number: 9550354
    Abstract: A system and a method for cleaning a printing cylinder or other printing equipment such as printing plates, ink pans or floors of printing units, the method comprising applying a detergent to the surface to be cleaned, after a period to allow action of the detergent, removing the detergent by rinsing, using a vapor and high velocity air stream, i.e. atomized water fog; or steam; or a combination of steam and air, which allows dislodging particles encrusted within cells of the surface of the piece of equipment to be cleaned.
