Abstract: An electronic device may use one or more sensors to detect a user intent for content associated with a point of interest in the physical environment of the user. In response to the user intent for content, the electronic device may transmit information associated with the point of interest to an external server. The transmitted information may include depth information, color information, feature point information, location information, etc. The external server may compare the received information to a database of points of interest and identify a matching point of interest in the database. The external server then transmits additional contextual information and/or application information associated with the matching point of interest to the electronic device. The electronic device may run an application and/or present content based on the received information associated with the matching point of interest.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for developing and interpreting e-commerce metrics is disclosed. The method involves collecting pages that are commonly transmitted over a computer network (e.g., the Internet, an institutional intranet, etc.), where the pages are relevant to the business operations of an entity, collecting external data, which may or may not be available on the computer network, but that is highly relevant to the entity, processing the collected pages with additional information such as contact information, routing tables, financial information, and other data which does not need to be collected more than once, and scoring the pages based on all the information collected to determine statistics. The statistics are analyzed for business information which may be important to the operations of the entity. The method then produces a report to deliver a continuous stream of e-commerce intelligence for the entity.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for analyzing e-commerce competition is disclosed. The method involves collecting pages that are commonly transmitted over a computer network (e.g., the Internet, an institutional intranet, etc.), collecting external data, which may or may not be available on the computer network, processing the collected pages and content, and scoring the pages based on all the information collected to determine statistics. The statistics are analyzed for providing benchmarks that compare an entity's presence on the computer network and compares it to the presence of other entities.

Abstract: A rapid gravity downflow filtration system applicable to a bank of several filters in which filtered water for backwashing is stored at a relatively high level in a common washwater storage compartment serving all filters and in which the filtered water for backwashing is delivered to it's storage by gravity using the surplus operating head available at the beginning of the filter operating cycle for the purpose thereby entirely eliminating the necessity for powered motivation of backwash water flow during backwashing, or, in alternative filter systems in which the backwash water flow is motivated by displacement with compressed air, reducing the power requirement.

Abstract: Diagonal flow pattern of inclined sheet settling system achieved by elongated rows of inclined sheets adjacent to elongated, outlet weirs discharging directly into elongated outlet channels with non turbulent distribution of the incoming liquid throughout the elongated length of the inclined sheets and means to remove settled material from the elongated floor of the said system by means of a power motivated reversing rope driven floor mounted and floor spanning reciprocating trolley that is able to take up the settled material from the floor and deliver this via a flexible hose and hydrostatic head to the exterior of the unit, and that does not require floor pockets.

Abstract: A filter employing a discrete particle filter medium (3,11), such as graded sand or the like, in which the outlet passage (6) located at the bottom (1, 29,8) of a bed of filter medium is provided in which air can be employed in the backwashing process to agitate the filter medium. The filter has shallow coarser layers (9,10,28) of particulate material beneath the filter medium (11) itself and one set of outlet nozzles (14,19,27) having appropriately dimensional perforations positioned in the coarser or coarsest particle layer (9,28). In addition further finer perforated surfaces (16,23,30) communicate with the bottom of the filter medium (11) itself and the arrangement is such that when air is introduced perparatory to, or during backwashing the air emerges predominantly from the elevated finer perforated surfaces (16,23,30).

Abstract: A LSSD testable latch circuit apparatus is disclosed which has systems operational and LSSD testing operational modes. The apparatus is arranged with first and second groups of flip-flops, each group having three flip-flops. Control means allows for selective operation of the first group of flop-flops as a D-type edge triggered latch during the systems operational mode and of the first and second groups as a three-stage shift register during the LSSD testing operational mode. The control means also allows the D-type edge-triggered latch to have override asynchronously set and/or reset control.

Abstract: A sluice gate including a closure member comprising a sheet of flexible fabric reinforced polymeric material having pairs of reinforcing members extending horizontally across the sheet with one member of each pair located on the upstream side and the other on the downstream side of the sheet in use. The pairs of members are secured together with the flexible sheet between them and at least some of the members on the upstream side extend beyond the side edges of the sluice opening to be controlled and those on the downstream side are able to pass into the sluice opening. The sluice gate includes control means for drawing the lower end of the closure member upwardly and away from the opening to progressively open it and to allow the closure member to return progressively to the closed position.

Abstract: This invention relates to a backwash outlet assembly for a liquid particulate filter. The outlet is adapted to retain particles which comprise the filter medium while allowing backwash liquid together with impurities to discharge to waste. The outlet comprises an outlet weir, and a substantially non-turbulent flow zone located upstream of the weir. A particle return passage extends from the floor of the zone to the filter bed and means are included to at least restrict back flow in the passage. Filter media particles carried in suspension in the backwash liquid fall under the action of gravity to the floor of the zone and by the velocity of the backwash liquid into the entrance to the return passage. Preferably the particle return passage extends from the zone adjacent the weir and filter media particles trapped in the return passage are automatically conveyed back to the filter.
