Abstract: A unified catalog of products and services is described. In one implementation, a method may include receiving an indication of products, offered by a business, that are to be provided to a customer of the business, where the products are defined in a catalog based on a hierarchical product model. The method further includes determining pricing information relating to the products, the determination of the pricing information including: identifying, based on the catalog, a plurality of pricing formulas associated with the plurality of products, and applying the pricing formulas to determine the pricing information.

Abstract: A divider is provided for use with a container. The divider includes a body and a projection having angled edges converging toward one another as the angled edges extend away from the body. At least one of the angled edges intersects a side edge of the body.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved reaction process that allows for the achievement of excellent NF3 production yields, while minimizing the amount of unreacted fluorine exiting with the process gases and minimizing the amount of liquid melt waste (HF/NH3) produced by the process. The basic NF3 process resides in reacting F2 with an ammonium ion source, e.g., ammonium acid fluoride, under conditions for forming NF3. The improvement in the process comprises: introducing F2 and said ammonium ion source cocurrently and downflow through a packed column or monolith column at a first temperature; reacting said F2 and ammonium ion source in said column; and, removing a mixture of NF3 and byproducts from said column at a second temperature higher than said first temperature.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an improved apparatus comprised of a monolith catalytic reactor having an inlet and an outlet and a static mixer having an inlet and an outlet thereto with the outlet of said static mixer in communication with the inlet of said monolith catalytic reactor. The invention also pertains to an improvement in a process for effecting a reaction in the monolith catalytic reactor wherein a reactant gas and reactant liquid are introduced to the inlet to the monolith catalytic reactor, reacted and, then, the reaction product passed through the outlet of the monolith catalytic reactor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for facilitating the assessment of entities including persons, standards, and/or environments. Contextual information, such as that representing the assessment by a teacher for a student, can be captured by a portable ingestion device and recorded onto media for processing and mapping into rubrics. Assessments can be optionally processed for further analysis.
