Abstract: A Resource Connectivity Module (RCM) with an associated interface for network communication to/from a user terminal device provides a uniform user interface for a number of different types of management functions across diverse resources within a mail processing environment. The example uses a browser interface that offers a web interface, to provide an interactive user interface to the mail management functions via the terminal. The RCM implements one or more management control modules, e.g. for reporting and/or control functions in respective function categories. The exemplary RCM also includes one or more resource message handlers communicating with systems of the mail processing environment, e.g. in different protocols. An event handler extracts event data from message data at the message handlers for use by the management control modules and provides necessary data to the message handlers for transmissions responsive to event data from the management control modules.

Abstract: A system for providing electronic access to tracking information regarding articles processed for mail delivery and related electronic information, might include a mail processing system, data storage and a computer system. The mail processing system processes the articles for mail delivery, and it provides tracking data regarding its processing of each article. Examples of the mail processing system include a printer, an inserter system, a sorter system and a mail delivery system. The data storage stores the tracking data and electronic files containing electronic information corresponding to respective articles processed for mail delivery. The data storage also maintains linkages between the article tracking data and stored files containing the corresponding electronic information. The computer system provides a user with integrated on-line access to the tracking data for the articles and the files containing the corresponding electronic information, based on the linkages.

Abstract: Improved missile warhead body has three sections forming a tubular body closed by a cap section at one end thereof and having a center section comprising high density material inclusions of a selected size and weight which separate from the warhead when detonated and form shrapnel on the order of the size and weight of the high density material inclusions.

Abstract: A novel continuous reduction process is disclosed for recovering values of metals having a more positive reduction potential than hydrogen from an aqeuous solution. The process includes the steps of contacting the aqueous solution containing metal value in a reactor with a metal catalyst consisting essentially of Pt or Pd metal dispersed on an inert catalyst support in the presence of a stoichiometric excess of hydrogen substantially dissolved in the aqueous solution to reduce the metal value and deposit free metal on the catalyst, and separating recovered metal value from the catalyst.The catalyst support may comprise electrically conductive particles. In the preferred embodiments, the catalyst consists essentially of about 0.02 to 1 Wt % Pt on a porous carbon support and the aqueous solution contains gold or copper values.

Abstract: A process for preparing a catalyst that has improved activity and efficiency for conversion of hydrocarbons is disclosed. The catalyst is prepared by applying sulfito complexes have the emperical formula M.sub.6 (x) (SO.sub.3).sub.4 where M is H+ NA+, K+ or NH.sub.4 + and x is platinum, palladium or mixtures thereof. In addition, the compounds M.sub.2 (x) (SO.sub.3).sub.2 and M.sub.2 (x) (SO.sub.3).sub.2 also have utility in our process. The complex salt is impregnated onto a support and activated by calcination in air or heating in a reducing atmosphere.
