Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for recovering at least one product from a fermentation broth. The invention relates to the use of a vacuum distillation vessel to recover products, such as ethanol, from a fermentation broth, where the fermentation broth comprises viable microbial biomass, and where the recovery of the product is completed in such a manner to ensure the viability of the microbial biomass. The invention provides for product recovery at an effective rate so as to prevent the accumulation of product in the fermentation broth. To ensure the viability of the microbial biomass, the invention is designed to reduce the amount of stress on the microbial biomass. By ensuring the viability of the microbial biomass, the microbial biomass may be recycled and reused in the fermentation process, which may result in an increased efficiency of the fermentation process.

Abstract: A high-density sub-surface columbarium system includes a storage apparatus with a row of cylindrical containers embedded within a burial plot. Each cylindrical container has a longitudinal axis positioned vertically. A cap is mounted on each cylindrical container at a top surface of the burial plot. The system uses new and existing cemetery plots and incurs no additional above-ground perpetual maintenance cost.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an information technology security system, method and apparatus that differentiates advanced attackers from unsophisticated attackers by querying a proprietary Threat Intelligence database that houses known attack and attacker information. Advanced attackers are proxied, or filtered, into a virtual honeypot where their tools, methods, and attack procedures can be recorded and studied. Context and back story are implemented into the honeypot to make it appear as real as possible by using a hardware “host” device located at the customer site that transparently forwards all traffic it receives into the virtual honeypot where the customer's network environment is re-created. Advanced attackers are filtered into this virtual honeypot where the tools and attack strategies that they otherwise would keep secret can be logged, examined, and researched.

Abstract: A method and system for enforcing compliance with a policy on a client computer in communication with a network is disclosed. The method involves receiving a data transmission from the client computer on the network. The data transmission includes status information associated with the client computer. The data transmission is permitted to continue when the status information meets a criterion.

Abstract: A rotary cutting tool for forming a heat plate has a plurality of cutting blades arranged about a cutting tool body. The cutting edge profile of the rotary cutting tool has a lower radius portion and a middle convex portion. The lower radius portion has its center on the axis of the rotary cutting tool and the middle convex portion is defined by an inverse square curve of form Y=1/X2 with the vertical axis of the origin of the inverse square curve offset from the axis of the rotary cutting tool. X has values between 0.25 units and 4 units.

Abstract: A routing device that provides redundancy for a node is envisioned. The routing device has a dynamic routing module operable to start functioning at a particular time. A configuration manager is provided. The configuration manager is coupled to a second routing device and stores configuration information associated with operational characteristics of a dynamic routing module associated with the second routing device. A network information module stores routing information from the second routing device. The dynamic routing module is executed upon an indication that the second dynamic routing device is no longer operating, and the configuration device configures the dynamic routing module according to the stored configuration information.

Abstract: Alzheimer victims often get lost when they're out and about. They usually end up being brought back home by the police; I propose a GPS ((global positioning system) unit with only one function: POINTING HOME.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises at least one first fluid passage contiguous with at least one second fluid passage. The first fluid passage is separated from the second fluid passage by a common boundary, the boundary having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is described by a plurality of curvilinear surfaces joined at the ends thereof into a sinuous curvilinear surface and the second surface is described by a plurality of curvilinear surfaces joined at the ends thereof into a sinuous curvilinear surface. The curvilinear surfaces of the first and the second curvilinear surfaces are defined by a portion of an inverse square curve.

Abstract: A new sound board construction for the stringed musical instrument is provided. The sound board comprises 12 wedge shaped, flat wooden pieces joined at the center and along the edges between adjacent pieces. Bracing is provided behind the joints between the wedge pieces. The grain of the wood in each of the wedge pieces is arranged to extend from the joining point or apex to the outer edge of the wedge piece.

Abstract: A system for multi-level e-marketing and automatic nurturing leads comprises an application for defining the parameters of a marketing program, an application for automatically sending online offers to a selected list of leads, an application for extracting score factors from responses, an application for scheduling follow-up nurturing communications, and at least one database for storing rules and leads' scores and other information.

Abstract: A method of making wet rolls includes providing a web of material, applying a wetting solution to the web to produce a wet web, and winding the wet web into a roll.
