Abstract: A vehicle advertising system comprises a processor configured to perform operations in response to instructions from a predefined instruction set, a memory, and an advertisement module comprising instructions selected from the instruction set. The instructions when executed on the processor are operable to receive identification and financing information regarding a specific vehicle for sale, to generate a first advertisement formatted for presentation in a search engine result listing based on at least the received identification information and the received financing information, to generate a second advertisement formatted for presentation on a vehicle dealer website landing page associated with the first advertisement and based on at least the received identification information and the received financing information, and to provide a predicted effectiveness score on at least one of the first advertisement and the second advertisement before publication of the at least one advertisement.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for supplying solid-ink pellets from a container to an image-forming device. The system includes a delivery tube within the container, with one or more openings to receive solid-ink pellets from the container. An agitating structure coupled to the delivery tube disturbs the solid ink pellets. The movement of the delivery tube moves the agitating structure, resulting in disturbing the solid-ink pellets and maintaining flowability of the pellets to the image-forming device.

Abstract: A carbonation beverage cap which has a generally cylindrical shaped bottle adapter having a top middle portion and a raised perimeter aperture disposed on the top middle portion of the bottle adapter. A threaded adapter is coupled to a top portion of the bottle adapter, the threaded adapter having a top centered aperture disposed on a top middle portion of the threaded adapter. A bottom nipple is disposed on a bottom portion of the carbonation beverage cap that a gas hose or a carbonation stone can be coupled to to disperse carbon dioxide gas or other carbonation into a first beverage contained in a beverage bottle.

Abstract: A novel multiple stage separator (MSS) vessel is disclosed wherein the vessel includes at least first and second stages or decks of separation cyclones, the stages arranged for operation in series. Each stage or deck includes an upper and lower tube sheet on which a plurality of cyclones are installed, solid particles in the gas stream being separated from the stream and dispensed between the tube sheets as the stream passes through each stage. The vessel has an inlet to receive a gas stream containing the particulates, and the flow travels typically downwardly, first passing through the first stage, then passing through at least a second stage. When implemented downstream of a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit, the MSS has been found to remove a surprisingly increased amount of particulates over a conventional third stage separator (TSS), which contains a single stage separator.

Abstract: A method of using toner concentration (TC) as an active actuator in the tonal reproduction curve (TRC) controller, so that not only will the TRC controller maintain the TRC of the output, but also all the electrostatic actuators will not diverge, and the toner concentration will be within the latitude range of the xerographic system. The process ensures that the target of the toner concentration (TC) sensor will be changed properly in direction (up/down) and amplitude to compensate the TRC output of the print engine based on either reflective reactance readings and/or the level of the electrostatic actuators.

Abstract: A method by which the target of a toner concentration (TC) sensor can be set up based on the equivalent developability concept without using an expensive patch generator. First, use a black toner area coverage (BTAC) sensor to measure the relative reflectance (RR) of a 100% area coverage developed patch (ROS generated) at a series of development levels (Vem or Vdev) to generate a pseudo development curve and estimate VdO in real-time (VdO is the Vdev level that starts to develop toner onto the photoreceptor belt.) Then, add a nominal delta Vdev to VdO to get the development level (Vdev) needed to generate 100% area coverage gray patch. Finally, using a BTAC sensor to measure the RR level of a 100% area coverage (AC) gray patch, move the target of the TC sensor, and converge the sensor's reading to the sensor's target continuously until the RR level of the gray patch hits the RR target (predefined) within the tolerance range. Thus, the target of the TC sensor is set for the xerographic system automatically.

Abstract: In a hybrid jumping (HJD) or hybrid scavengeless (HSD) development station used in xerography, a control system avoids arcing conditions in a gap between a donor member and an image receptor. In a set-up operation, a series of test patches are produced while incrementing the AC amplitude in the gap. A change in reflectivity of the patches as a function of the AC amplitude in the gap is measured and the actual width of the gap is thus estimated. An accurate estimate of the gap width can then be used in a control algorithm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a monobloc 10.

Abstract: The invention provides oligonucleotides (A): and (B): and their derivatives. These oligos may be used as a pair of primers for the detection of HPV16 (SEQ ID NO:3) DNA in a sample, without false positives arising due to the presence of other HPV strains. Kits containing the primers and the use of the primers to screen populations are provided.
