Abstract: A method for classifying a document into a hierarchical taxonomy associated with a corpus of documents, the document being associated with document information, the hierarchical taxonomy comprising a plurality of levels with each level comprising one or more nodes, each node comprising a label; the method may include inputting the taxonomy and the document information into a large language model, inputting a prompt into the large language model to cause the large language model to output one or more nodes of the taxonomy for classifying the document based on the document information, and classifying the document into each of the nodes output by the large language model.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for mixing a tank containing a fluid with a gas, wherein the gas is fired with a periodic intensity and duration through the employment of a gas container containing an inverted siphon, with one end contained in the container and the other end extending into a fluid.

Abstract: A system having a hopper that receives fuel pellets and direct the pellets under gravity feed to an auger that moves the pellets into a firepot inside a cooking chamber of a grill. The system includes a door below the auger that has a closed position that retains fuel pellets in the auger such that the fuel pellets feed to the auger, and has an opened position to allows the pellets to empty from the hopper and away from the auger. A closing mechanism allows a user to selectively open or close the door.

Abstract: A methodology, system and apparatus are provided that include anoxic biofilms to perform partial denitrification and anammox (PdNA) reactions. The PdNA reactions can facilitate process intensification and carbon efficient biological nitrogen removal. The anoxic biofilms can be placed in a pre-anoxic zone or a downstream anoxic zone, where the biofilm and reactions are managed, including using storage compounds, to overcome mass transfer limitations in the biofilm. The methodology, system and apparatus can, when compared to state-of-the art technologies, improve the concentration gradient or reduce mass transfer limitations to facilitate PdNA reactions.

Abstract: A first bracket affixes to a first cooking component body and defines a first passageway therethrough. A second bracket affixes to a second cooking component body and defines a second passageway therethrough. The first and second brackets may be joined together to form a continuous passageway from the first cooking component body to the second cooking component body.

Abstract: A method of operating a gas sensor is disclosed, wherein the sensor includes a pumping electrode configuration and a measuring electrode configuration, and wherein the method includes operating the sensor in a first mode in which a first, lower pumping potential sufficient to electrochemically remove an interfering compound from the sensor without electrochemically removing the analyte from the sensor is applied across the pumping electrode configuration and a measuring potential sufficient to electrochemically remove the analyte from the sensor is applied across the measuring electrode configuration; and operating the sensor in a second mode in which a second, higher pumping potential sufficient to electrochemically remove the analyte from the sensor is applied to the pumping electrode configuration.

Abstract: A boilerless steamer apparatus is provided having a steamer cavity formed of a steam generating space and a cooking space, wherein the steam generating space is separated from the cooking space by a removable steam lid. The present boilerless steamer apparatus can provide between 7 to 10 lbs./hour (per pan) of steam. Various methods to easily clean the boilerless steamer apparatus are provided.

Abstract: A system is described using a fuel quality sensor for controlling various aspects of engine operation. In particular, an acoustic wave sensor is utilized to measure viscosity and density of gasoline fuels. This measurement is utilized to predict engine combustion quality during an engine start. Based on the prediction, the method adjusts engine operating parameters (such as fuel injection amount and ignition timing) to achieve improved vehicle driveability and engine combustion.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of processing and displaying structural plans responsive to emergency tactical situations, the method including the steps of receiving a heterogeneous array of structural plan files, establishing a common specification for displaying structural plans, transforming the heterogeneous array of structural plan files to a standardized plan according to the common specification, receiving a remote request for a structural plan relating to a tactical objective, and responsive to the remote request transmitting the standardized plan to a remote recipient.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for distributing a charge falling onto an article. The apparatus includes a baffle to present a continuous deflection surface to the falling charge, the deflection surface deflecting at least a portion of the charge radially outwardly, and a guide arranged downstream of the baffle to deflect at least a portion of the charge radially inwardly to cause the charge to fall onto the article with a required distribution. The baffle and the guide may be adjustably mounted such that the relative positions of the guide and the baffle can be adjusted to achieve a desired distribution of the charge.

Abstract: A microprocessor-based audiometer for use with children. A color visual display unit is used to display an image digitally stored in memory or on disk drive to attract the childs attention and hold its concentration during testing.The child activates a response switch upon detecting the tones produced by audiometer to the generator. Correct responses are reinforced by progressive alteration of the displayed image to increasingly desirable states.

Abstract: A vehicle has a steerable subframe articulated to the remainder of the vehicle, a set of lifting forks projecting forwardly from the subframe and supported thereon by a linkage permitting lifting, tilting and lateral movement of the forks, and a counterweight balancing a load carried by the forks across the subframe, the counterweight projecting rearwardly from the subframe beneath the remainder of the vehicle. Interchangeable units are engageable with the forks to transport thereby to a worksite, such as pallet units, a work platform, a crane and a cable dispenser.
