  • Patent number: 10310712
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of client device request data with centralized event orchestration. A computing platform may receive, from a client computing device, event definition information defining an event. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive, from a recipient computing device associated with the event, a request for a delivery selection user interface. The computing platform may send the delivery selection user interface to the recipient computing device and may receive, from the recipient computing device, delivery selection information identifying a destination for the event selected by a user of the recipient computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may generate one or more event orchestration commands directing an external event processor to execute one or more actions associated with the event, and may send the one or more event orchestration commands to the external event processor via an external event processing interface.

  • Patent number: 10216830
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of client device request data using a centralized event orchestrator and a link discovery engine. A computing platform may receive event definition information defining an event. Subsequently, the computing platform may receive a request for a recipient-selection user interface. The computing platform may mine alias data associated with a unique alias linked to a recipient computing device and may generate one or more relational user interface elements having relational content mined from the alias data. Then, the computing platform may send a delivery selection user interface having the one or more relational user interface elements to the recipient computing device. The computing platform may receive delivery selection information from the recipient computing device and may generate and send one or more event orchestration commands directing an event processor to execute one or more actions associated with the event.

  • Patent number: 7244119
    Abstract: Compact low NOx gas burner apparatus and methods for discharging fuel gas and air mixtures into furnace spaces wherein the mixture is burned in folded flame patterns and flue gases having low NOx content are formed are provided. A burner apparatus of the invention is basically comprised of a housing having a burner tile attached thereto and means for introducing air therein. The burner tile has an opening therein with a wall surrounding the opening which extends into a furnace space. The exterior sides of the wall are divided into sections by radially positioned baffles with alternate sections having the same or different heights and slanting towards the opening at the same or different angles. Primary fuel gas mixed with flue gases and air is discharged through the burner tile. Secondary fuel gas is discharged adjacent to the external slanted wall sections whereby the secondary fuel gas mixes with flue gases in the furnace space.

  • Publication number: 20070087367
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for performing light-directed reactions in spatially addressable channels within a plurality of channels. One aspect of the invention employs photoactivatable reagents in solutions disposed into spatially addressable flow streams to control the parallel synthesis of molecules immobilized within the channels. The reagents may be photoactivated within a subset of channels at the site of immobilized substrate molecules or at a light-addressable site upstream from the substrate molecules. The method and apparatus of the invention find particularly utility in the synthesis of biopolymer arrays, e.g., oligonucleotides, peptides and carbohydrates, and in the combinatorial synthesis of small molecule arrays for drug discovery.
