Abstract: An Internet infrastructure delivery platform (e.g., operated by a service provider) provides an overlay network (a server infrastructure) that is used to facilitate “second screen” end user media experiences. In this approach, first media content, which is typically either live on-demand, is being rendered on a first content device (e.g., a television, Blu-Ray disk or another source). That first media content may be delivered by servers in the overlay network. One or multiple end user second content devices are then adapted to be associated with the first content source, preferably, via the overlay network, to facilitate second screen end user experiences (on the second content devices).

Abstract: A fuse includes a body, a first conductive terminal coupled with a first end of the body, and a second conductive terminal coupled with a second end of the body. The body, the first conductive terminal, and the second conductive terminal define an exterior of the fuse. The fuse also includes an interruption assembly including a fusible element. The fusible element includes carbon fiber, is disposed on a conductive path between the first conductive terminal and the second conductive terminal, and is configured to break when a current through the fusible element exceeds a predetermined current.

Abstract: Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) has applications in all electrochemical processes and in a few that are not totally electrochemical in nature. By magnetizing the electrodes or the current collectors through the electrodes so that the vertical, closely and appropriately spaced magnetized electrodes produce a uniform, low magnetic field between them, north pole to south pole, the Lorentz force enhances the natural or forced convection where it is the greatest, very near the electrodes. Because the main internal resistance of an electrochemical process resides in the electrolyte, increasing the speed of transport of charged particles from one electrode to the other greatly reduces this internal resistance. Other treatments such as adding an indifferent paramagnetic ion, an indifferent free radical, completing the magnetic circuit, using a spacer which does not obscure the electrode surface, further reduce the internal resistance, lowering the wasted energy which usually appears as heat in the electrolyte.

Abstract: A system and method provides electronic transaction verification using multiple different units. A first unit initiates an electronic transaction in response to user authentication affirmation by, for example, a server (such as a web server). After the user has been authenticated, another unit, such as a mobile device, receives a transaction confirmation request for the electronic transaction that is ongoing via the first unit. In addition, the second unit also receives from, for example, the server, transaction information based on the electronic transaction. The second device through a user interface and without requiring a user to enter transaction information, provides the received transaction information from the server for evaluation by a user of the second unit. The second unit requests from the user, in response to the transaction confirmation request, confirmation of the transaction.

Abstract: A fuse mounting assembly includes an epoxy-bonded glass-fiber core that is surrounded by a resilient sleeve having a number of radially extending members. Attached to an end of the core is a first mounting bracket and attached to another end of the core is another mounting bracket. Each of the mounting brackets is connected to a fuse which is structured to protect a power circuit.

Abstract: Stirred acid resistant shallow cylindrical reactors are used to produce both nitric and sulfuric acid from a feed gas stream arranged to contain both sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides passed over or through the mixed acids. The homogeneous catalytic mixture of sulfuric and nitric acids uses the highly oxidizing nitrosyl ion to further oxidize the gaseous oxide stream to sulfuric and nitric acids. Oxygen or air then oxidizes the nitrosyl ion reduction products back to nitrosyl ion for further reaction. The acids are separated by distillation, and concentrated using heat from the burner and the reaction heat. The modified sulfur burner used operates at temperatures to oxidize some of the nitrogen in the air. The temperature required may be obtained by increasing the oxygen of the air by pure oxygen. More nitrogen oxides may be produced by a glow discharge into the burner air or burning of ammonia. Any heavy metals such as mercury will be first oxidized then precipitated as sulfates.

Abstract: A dual tank spray system includes a deck having wheels and an engine, first and second tanks mounted on the deck and configured to hold first and second liquid materials, respectively, and first and second sets of one or more liquid-spray nozzles mounted on the deck. A fluid distribution system provides fluid communication between the first and second tanks and the first and second sets of nozzles. The fluid distribution system transmits the first and second liquid materials from the first and second tanks to the first and second sets of nozzles, such that the first and second sets of nozzles can selectively spray the first liquid, the second liquid and a combination thereof.

Abstract: A water-free process for converting initially non-larvicidal evaporation suppressant powder into a larvicidal variant possessing utility both for abatement of use by mosquitoes of an open water catchment as a successful breeding site, and for conserving water by suppressing the evaporation of water from the same catchment. Lauryl alcohol is used as a blending agent to facilitate even distribution of mosquito-specific entomopathogens, eg., spores of Bacillus thuringiensis variety Israelensis or Bacillus sphaericus, into the initially non-larvicidal evaporation suppressant powder. Cetyl alcohol and/or stearyl alcohol are the preferred monolayer-formers upon which effective evaporation suppression relies. For a variant larvicidal powder that lacks an effective evaporation suppression property, the same preferred monolayer-formers may be omitted from a blend of mosquito-specific pathogens, lauryl alcohol, and hydrated lime or, alternatively, acidified gypsum.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a liquid evaporation retardant product that combines isopropanol-water azeotrope with up to 5% octadecanol by weight of the total solution, and upon which improved capability to remain precipitate free in the event of colder temperatures than normal is conferred by adding n-butanol at 10% by weight of the pre-made basic product.
