Abstract: A system for managing orders for products, including goods and services, which dynamically creates processes for providing those products has been developed. This order management system creates the processes from pre-defined tasks when the order is received. By operating in this manner, the order management system dynamically creates processes, even for new or changed products and services, and provides a foundation for the process automation and the human workflow that may be required to provision an order. The order management system may include a database, which includes a data structure that enables the functionality of the order manager and stores information relating to products, building blocks, and tasks, including the relationships among the products, building blocks, and tasks. The data structure generally includes a task entity class, a building block entity class, and an order mapping entity class.

Abstract: A fuel saving and pollution control device is connected in the vapor conduit between the crank case and the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine wherein vapors are drawn through the unit that includes a filter and a water condensing grid. The unit passes burnable vapors but removes large particulates, resins and high molecular weight materials. Water condensate collected after engine operation is injected to the intake manifold upon restart.
