Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for three-dimensional (3D) merchandising and space planning. State-of-the-art methods providing the merchandising and space planning for store management in three-dimensional visualization is limited to a specific fixture or to a specific area of the store. However, planning the merchandising and the space for an entire store in three-dimensional hyper-realistic visualization is not yet done. The disclosed method provides three-dimensional hyper-realistic visualization for planning the merchandize and space for an entire store by integrating data analytics capturing real-time information required during planning, and the in-house libraries facilitating quicker and easier design of the layouts for the store. The method includes importing the products from the product library, receiving real-time performance analytics for the products, and creating layout by placing the products on the fixtures imported from the fixture library.

Abstract: A reformer for producing syngas from a feed gas; the reformer contains a syngas reaction container having a partial oxidation (PDX) feed gas inlet, a dry reforming (DRM) feed gas inlet, and an outlet permitting a syngas to exit the syngas reaction container. The syngas reaction container has a PDX reaction zone and a DRM reaction zone. The DRM reaction zone is positioned downstream from the PDX reaction zone. The DRM reaction zone has a DRM reactor for performing a DRM reaction. One or more heat exchangers are provided in the syngas reaction container for controlling the temperature of the feed gases and/or reactions; wherein heat from the PDX reaction is used to heat the DRM reactor zone for performing the DRM reaction. Also, disclosed is a process for producing syngas from a feed gas and a system for performing a Fischer Tropsch reaction.

Abstract: A driving event notification device is described, and comprises an accelerometer for detecting forces experienced by a vehicle, a positioning device for determining the position of the vehicle, and a camera for generating image data. A processor is provided, for detecting the occurrence of a driving event by comparing the outputs of one or both of the accelerometer and the positioning device with at least one rule. A communications port is provided, for establishing a connection with the Internet and an email handler uses an email address dedicated to the driving event notification device, for generating a reporting email containing event information concerning the detected event and image data generated by the camera at or around the time of occurrence of the detected event, and sending the reporting email over the Internet via the communications port to a destination email address.

Abstract: An interface includes a blast plate having plate structure, the plate structure being formed to substantially conform to a certain portion of an exterior margin of a hull of a certain vehicle and being semi-permanently mounted to the hull by mounting to certain mounting devices present on the exterior margin of the hull and having mounting means for supportively mounting a standardized add-on device, the mounting means being designed to facilitate the add-on device being readily mountable on and demountable from the plate structure, the plate structure having structural characteristics for acting to protect the hull from effects of a blast directed at the hull. A modular assembly and a blast plate are further included.

Abstract: An improved reactive armor system having one or more layers of matrix plates, each plate having a plurality of shallow wells with a plurality of blind holes in each well and an explosive pill in each blind hole. An explosive sheet covers each well and is in close proximity to the pills in the associated wells to insure that all the pills within a well will detonate when one pill therein is detonated. A separation plate covering and held in engagement with each matrix plate isolates each well from the other wells.
