Abstract: An agricultural vehicle that includes a removable energy module configured to provide energy to power operations of the agricultural vehicle and a connection interface. The connection interface is configured to autonomous mechanically and electrically couple and decouple the removable energy module to the agricultural vehicle.

Abstract: A new and improved hydrocyclone roping and wear management system and method for its use are provided. The system includes one or more wireless electronic roping sensors and/or one or more wireless electronic wear sensors disposed in communication with one or more hydrocyclones, along with a wireless electronic controller. The system is capable of wirelessly detecting roping and/or wear conditions within one or more hydrocyclone separators during their operation, communicating electronic data corresponding to the roping and/or wear conditions to an associated hydrocyclone control system, and causing adjustments in controlling operational parameters for the hydrocyclones. The associated method includes steps for wirelessly acquiring roping and/or wear condition data using the wireless electronic controller and delivering the data to the hydrocyclone control system.

Abstract: A new and improved hydrocyclone wear maintenance control system for managing wear maintenance among a plurality of hydrocyclone separators and method for its use are provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a denture adhesive article comprising: a) a safe and effective adhesive amount of a homogeneous, bioerodible mixture of a denture adhesive component and a safe and effective amount of a water insoluble (e.g. thermoplastic) component; and b) at least one non-adhesive self supporting substrate.

Abstract: A system for forming a communication link between a first communications device and a second communications device includes a server configured to receive a call request from the first communications device. A virtual agent operating on the server is configured to (a) initiate a first outbound call to the first communications device in response to receiving the call request; (b) initiate a second outbound call to the second communications device; (c) form a first communications channel between the virtual agent and the first communications device; (d) form a second communications channel between the virtual agent and the second communications device; and (e) link the first communications channel to the second communications channel. An NLP engine and/or a learning engine are connected to the virtual agent. A method for forming a communication link between the first communications device and the second communications device utilizing the system is also disclosed.
