Abstract: A computer implemented system, method, and article of manufacture provide access to a drawing. A server computer has one or more server component applications. One or more drawing files are created by a first drawing application and stored on the server computer. A search server component application executes on the server computer and provides a query engine that allows queries of the one or more drawing files to locate data. A conversion server component application executes on the server computer and dynamically convert the drawing files into a drawing file format viewable by a client application executing on a client compute. The server component applications are further configured to provide the one or more drawing files that have been dynamically converted to the client computer.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes, among other things, systems, methods and program products for pre-computing image manipulations.

Abstract: A desalination system and method of desalinating liquids are provided. The desalination system includes a supercapacitor desalination unit. A first liquid source to be desalinated is provided to the supercapacitor desalination unit while the system is in a charging mode of operation. A second liquid source comprising saturated or supersaturated liquid is provided to the supercapacitor desalination unit when the system is in a discharging mode of operation.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes discharging a solute from a solute-bearing electrode into a discharge liquid stream. The discharge liquid stream has a relatively higher concentration of solute than a feed stream from which the solute-bearing electrode gained the solute. A system is provided, also.

Abstract: A filter for removing soluble and insoluble lead from water supplied by a water source includes at least one charged filter medium configured to facilitate removing at least one of soluble lead and insoluble colloidal lead from the water.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to determine a relative change relationship between modem and frame clocks are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for automating the finding and serving of CAD design data is disclosed. One or more embodiments of the invention increase the level of access and automation possible with design data. One or more embodiments of the invention provide a server comprised of various components including an information extraction component, a search component, and a conversion component. The various components provide users with enhanced access to drawing and design data. One or more embodiments of the invention also provide programmable, scriptable components that can query, filter, manipulate, merge, and translate design drawing data using the Web browser interface. Further, Web site administrators can use the present invention to dynamically index and publish design drawing data.

Abstract: An apparatus for hindering the collection of dust and particulate matter within unutilized housings or ports of hardware component chassis is provided. A port filler baffle for occupying a port within a chassis includes a panel assembly sized and dimensioned to fit within the port of the chassis. A bracket couples with the panel assembly. An aperture filler couples with the bracket. The aperture filler is disposed to hinder particulate intrusion into the unutilized port of the chassis. When the panel assembly is mounted in the chassis, the aperture filler presses against the unutilized port, substantially blocking access to the inside of the port, thus hindering particulate intrusion and keeping the port clean.
