Abstract: Non-triazole compounds are provided that can be effective to inhibit corrosion of a corrodible metal surface in an aqueous system. The non-triazole compounds show comparable or better corrosion inhibition as compared to conventional triazole corrosion inhibitors, and have low toxicity and good stability in the presence of halogens such as halogen-containing biocides or free chlorine.

Abstract: A computer-implement method for forming a flow insert for an ultrasonic flow meter. The method includes positioning one or more reflectors in a flow insert cavity configured to receive plastic by injection molding and configured to define an ultrasonic signal path based on machined surfaces of the mold and fixing the one or more reflectors in position along the ultrasonic signal path extending into the flow insert cavity. The method further includes forming a flow insert body by injection molding and configured to define an ultrasonic signal path within a flow conduit that includes one or more reflectors integrated within the flow insert body during the injection molding and providing ultrasonic signal reflection along the ultrasonic signal path.

Abstract: A garment hanger mechanism and system are provided for a multi-panel, foldable travel bag. The mechanism comprises a garment hanger member with spaced recesses for receiving clothes hangers. The member is attached to or integrated with a panel of the travel bag, and resides on the inside of the bag when folded. A removable securing means ensures hangers remain within the member recesses during travel. By using hanging means for both the bag and mechanism when the travel bag is unfolded, hanging garments can be efficiently unpacked and accessed from the travel bag without removing hangers from the member recesses. In this manner, the travel bag may be converted into a temporary travel closet within an existing closet. The bag can also be hung using just the bag hanging means from a door or in a closet.

Abstract: The present invention provides a removable optical imaging device cap for use with a near infrared (NIR) light optical imaging device for detecting intracranial hematoma.

Abstract: An incident survey system. The incident survey system includes a site loss prevention system and a RF survey system. The RF survey system includes (i) at least one device for receiving RF signals from remote devices having a unique MAC address, (ii) an interface for connecting the site loss prevention system to the RF survey network and (iii) a data logger adapted for storing information received by the device. An interface connects the site loss prevention system to the RF survey network. In addition, a monitoring service may be used for responding to a triggering event reported by the site loss prevention system.

Abstract: A vertical docking apparatus (VDA) includes a back panel assembly with at least a first device docking hook (DDH) and a first panel mounting cavity. The first panel mounting cavity is located on a back surface of the back panel assembly and configured to allow the back panel assembly to be mounted to a vertical surface. Additionally, the VDA includes a front panel assembly that is attached to the back panel assembly, a first DDH cavity that is adapted to receive the first DDH, and a transmission connector.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and cluster for vertically docking interactive devices. The apparatus includes a pair of device docking hooks (DDHs), which temporarily couple to and secure an interactive device onto a vertical surface. In addition to the apparatus, the system may include one or more device locking mount(s) (DLMs) coupled to the interactive device, which further secures the interactive device to a static vertical surface. The coupling between each of the one or more DLM(s) and the interactive device may take the form of, for example, a magnetic attachment, a hook and loop fabric attachment, a spring loaded hook, a simple gravity induced friction attachment (e.g., a resting pad), etc. Alternatively, in addition to the apparatus, the system may include a device locking apparatus (DLA), which when engaged may further secure the interactive device to an articulating vertical surface.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of autonomously landing an aerial vehicle is disclosed herein. In a non-limiting embodiment, the apparatus is a landing pad controller that includes a plurality of receiving antennae, each of which is configured to receive an instance/version of a localization signal from the aerial vehicle. A localization calculation processor determines a precise position of the aerial vehicle based upon a comparison of the localization signal received by each of the plurality of receiving antennae. The landing pad controller also includes a transmitter that sends at least one course direction adjustment to the aerial vehicle, which can be used to direct the aerial vehicle from the precise position to a target landing area.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of systems and methods for high-speed business method switching that increases the likelihood that a transaction will occur between a plurality of participants by extrapolating, evaluating, and executing business methods on a per transaction basis. The present invention relates to the fields of business management, economics, computer science, information science, and software engineering.

Abstract: A system and methods for managing relationships between business entities and the entities that represent them in a business network.

Abstract: A computerized system and methods that permit an entity to capture the details of a business opportunity and then share the business opportunity to another entity and track the performance of all entities with regard to the business opportunity.

Abstract: A system and methods for electronic communication between businesses, business representatives and people.

Abstract: Using a feed backbone computer network, enables connection of counterparty customers in disparate Financial Information Exchange (FIX) networks, across IP network boundaries. The feed backbone network links consumer, database, management, and proxy computer systems with a FIX backbone computer network in turn connected to trading extranets via access centers. Proxy computer systems balance their shared message processing load, log message traffic, manage operational sessions, and collect and present aggregated feed information to client users, whether connected locally or to the trading extranets. A software proxy acts as a “middleman” between the two customer endpoints. Copies selected FIX messages to a multicast backbone for aggregation in a standard format. The entire network is centrally configurable and supports realtime operational status.
