Abstract: This invention shows a method for operating a voice communications network that comprises dynamically associating a private number with at least one public number of a circuit-switched voice communication network, authenticating a user of a private number without reliance on a static reproducible data code, receiving an incoming call to the public number and routing the incoming call from a caller to the private number. The method also shows the generation of an outgoing call from the private number and passing the outgoing call through the public number while generating calling party information to a target which preserves the privacy of the caller, and altering an associating of the private number and at least one public number. The system therefore acts as a proxy with authentication by means of dynamic code security. The caller and the user of the private number share seamless round-trip telephone communications while preserving the anonymity of the user of the private number.

Abstract: The disclosed invention improves on self-priming centrifugal pumps. The improvements facilitate ease of maintenance by allowing the vacuum pulley belt to be changed without the need to disassemble the centrifugal pump to access the vacuum pulley belt. Additionally, issues with float valves becoming restricted leading to loss of prime conditions can be corrected with a disclosed invention.

Abstract: A ninhydrin reagent for use in a method for analyzing nitrogen-containing compounds, in particular visualizing nitrogen-containing compounds by a color forming reaction, is provided. The ninhydrin reagent contains ninhydrin; an aqueous buffer; and a temperature-dependent reducing agent, which agent is inactive in the reduction of ninhydrin at a first temperature and active in reducing ninhydrin to hydrindantin at a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature. The reagent is particularly useful in the analysis of amino acids.

Abstract: A method for analyzing one or more nitrogen-containing compounds, in which the one or more nitrogen-containing compounds are contacted with hydrindantin at an elevated temperature in a contact zone is provided. In the method ninhydrin is contacted with one or more reducing agents in a heating zone at a first elevated temperature to produce a hydrindantin-containing mixture. The hydrindantin-containing mixture is introduced into the contact zone and contacted with the nitrogen-containing compounds at a second elevated temperature. The method is particularly suitable for the analysis by visualization of amino acids.

Abstract: A universal reporting solution system for a dimensional data associated with a worksite management system is provided. The universal reporting solution system includes a receiving module coupled to a categorization module. The categorization module is configured to form independent metrics and derives additional metrics. The categorization module buckets the dimensional data within independent metrics and combines the bucketed dimensional data to obtain reporting information. The reporting information is further utilized to generate reports independent of an entity with which the reporting information is associated.

Abstract: A package for the safe storage and transportation of munitions comprising at least one insert provided with a recess to receive each munition separately such that in use the munitions are separated by the insert material and one or more labyrinthine paths exist between the munitions. The moulds may be made of blast mitigating material for the effective dissipation of energy on unintentional detonation of a munition.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a memory device with a self-aligned trap layer which is optimized for scaling is disclosed. In the present invention, a non-conformal film is deposited over the charge trapping layer to form a thick film on top of the core source/drain region and a pinch off and a void or a narrow channel at the top of the STI trench. An etch is performed on the non-conformal film to open pinch-off or widen the narrow channel in the non-conformal. The trapping layer is then completely or partially etched between the core cells. The non-conformal film is removed. And a top oxide is formed. The top oxide converts the remaining trap layer to oxide if the trapping layer is partially etched and thus isolate the trap layer.

Abstract: Training and rehabilitation systems and methods involving providing a training system having buttons arranged within a span of at least 36 inches, each of the buttons associated with a light configured to indicate its button to a user. A light is illuminated, thereby indicating to the user a designated button desired for depressing. The depression of one or more of the buttons by the user is determined. A relationship may be determined between the designated buttons and the depression of the buttons. A training regimen may be based on the determined relationship between the designated buttons and the depression of the buttons. The determined training regimen may be implemented using the training system.

Abstract: A universally fitting apparatus to hang onto an aquarium or sump and automatically regulate replacement of evaporated water in real time. Further, while maintaining the fluid level and salinity of the total body of water, a normally closed solenoid, actuated by a float switch, will act redundantly with a float valve to meter incoming fluid. Said solenoid will act to close the water source in the event that the float valve fails to operate or in the event of power failure to shut off the incoming water. For additional safety, the power supply may be plugged into an electronic programmable timer to further minimize the likelihood of an overflow.

Abstract: A board game of chance and skill using a game board, a pair of dice, and tokens. The player throwing the highest initial roll begins game play. Rolling one six or two sixes allows movement of one token or two tokens, respectively, from a home base space marked with a country name to a starting space marked “GATE” and along a clockwise path of movement to a finish space marked “PARADISE”. A token is returned to home base space if another player's token lands on the same game space. A blockade, which may not be passed by other players' tokens until such blockade is broken, is created when two tokens of one player are placed on the same game space. An exact roll is required to enter a finish space. The first player with all tokens in his finish space is the winner.

Abstract: A networked system collects, aggregates, and distributes the collective wisdom of consumers. An aggregation module obtains, from each of a plurality of reviewing consumers: i) a file comprising a motion video clip depicting a video product review of a product; and ii) the reviewing consumer's indication of at least one categorization data element identifying the product. A motion video clip database stores each motion video clip. A search database stores, for each motion video clip, the at least one product categorization data element identifying the product depicted in the motion video clip. A search module receives a search term from a searching consumer and identifies a selected group of video product reviews. The selected group of video product reviews comprises those video product reviews that are a relevant video product review. A relevant video product review comprises a video product review that is associated with a product categorization data element corresponding to the search term.

Abstract: A high K layer, such as aluminum oxide or hafnium oxide, may be formed with a deposition process that uses an ion implantation to damage portions of the high K material that are to be later etched. More particularly, in one implementation, a semiconductor device is manufactured by forming a first dielectric over a substrate, forming a charge storage element over the first dielectric, forming a second dielectric above the charge storage element, implantation ions into select portions of the second dielectric, and etching the ion implanted select portions of the second dielectric.
