Abstract: A system, method, and process improving the efficiency of the current workers compensation information supply chain, logistics and claims adjudication process and capture of data capture and analysis of work-related incidents. Employees, employers and insurance companies are legally, financially, ethically and morally compromised when unnecessary delays take place in the claims reporting process. Late reporting of an accident, injury or illness reduces the projected time line that it takes for an injured employee to return to full or partial health and the ability to return to work. Reducing lag time reporting reduces the financial exposure to the employee, employer and a workers compensation risk transfer facility also known as an insurance company. There is need for a fiduciary of claims information to have greater speed, reliability and accuracy of the information initiated through mobile devices and web portals through computers with Internet access.

Abstract: A water-based graphene dispersion is made by shear stabilization. The method of preparing the water-based graphene dispersion using shear stabilization includes adding a composition containing a graphene powder, a super wetter surfactant and a water dispersible rheology agent into water to form an aqueous mixture; and shearing the aqueous mixture under high pressures to break down the thick layers of the graphene powder to thin layers of graphene platelet particles and to form the water-based graphene dispersion with the graphene platelet particles dispersed in the water-based graphene dispersion. The water-based graphene dispersion is stable without visible phase separation after storage at room temperature for at least one year or even more than one year.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of graphene exfoliation and/or stabilization. Both graphene and silica are mixed in an organic solvent to form a liquid precursor, which is then directed through an orifice formed by a metal cylinder and a flat metal plate. The metal cylinder is pressed against the flat metal plate by a high pressure. The high shear between the metal cylinder and the flat metal plate breaks down the thick layers of graphene to thin layers, which are stably dispersed in the gel formed by the silica.

Abstract: A spray cap system is described that can enable a user to more consistently and accurately dispense and work with the contents of a spray can. The system includes a spray cap, spray button, spray nozzle, implement holder, and an implement (such as a brush, a foam pad applicator, or a sponge). By using the spray cap system, a user may achieve a more optimal discharge pattern of the contents of the can with a more efficient and optimal coverage of a surface. In addition, the user may utilize the implement while it is attached to the spray cap or remove the implement to use the implement independently. The spray cap system provides versatility to a user by enabling the user to spray the contents of the spray can regardless of whether the implement is attached to the spray cap.

Abstract: One exemplary embodiment can be a system for separating a plurality of naphtha components. The system can include a column, an overhead condenser, and a side condenser. Generally, the column includes a dividing imperforate wall with one surface facing a feed and another surface facing at least one side stream. Typically, the wall extends a significant portion of the column height to divide the portion into at least two substantially vertical, parallel contacting sections. Typically, the overhead condenser receives an overhead stream including a light naphtha from the column. Usually, a side condenser receives a process stream from the column and returns the stream to the column to facilitate separation. A cooling stream may pass through the overhead condenser and then the side condenser.
