Abstract: An emulsified condiment including ground, cracked, or milled mustard seeds, an acid component such as vinegar, water, and a significant amount by weight of an edible oil, provides a condiment with a thick, spreadable texture, a creamy mouthfeel, and separation stability without the inclusion of emulsion forming gums or additives. The process of making the condiment includes rough cracking mustard seeds, mixing the mustard seeds with water, an oil, an acid component, and water to obtain a mixture, soaking the mixture with moderate agitation, stone milling the mixture, and deaerating the mixture.

Abstract: A nanoparticle includes a nanocarrier encapsulating a nanoscintillator capable of emitting light upon exposure to radiation; a photosensitizer capable of absorbing the light from the nanoscintillator to generate singlet oxygen species; and optionally, one or more diagnostic agents, therapeutic agents, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage are disclosed herein that operate to implement and manage an ATM membership service across a collection of participating ATM machines. The ATM membership service provides its registered members surcharge-free access to the participating ATMs. User can register and pay a fee to become members. Once registered, their financial transactions at ATMs are monitored and allowed to occur at participating ATMs surcharge free by checking tokens generated from the swiped or inserted ATM cards.

Abstract: A process to manufacture large coated detergent particles having perpendicular dimensions x, y and z, wherein x is from 0.2 to 2 mm, y is from 2.5 to 8 mm, and z is from 2.5 to 8 mm the particles being substantially the same shape and size as one another and the uncoated core particles comprising at least 50 wt % of soluble surfactant, the process comprising the steps of suspending uncoated core particles in a fluidized bed and spraying onto the core particles an aqueous slurry of sodium carbonate in admixture with 0.6 to 3 wt % sodium carboxy methyl cellulose and drying to form the coated particles.

Abstract: A convertible chair includes a base frame, a seat connected to the base frame through first, second, and third legs, a back support connected to the seat via first and second support arms, and at least one hinge assembly interconnecting the chair components. A user can pivot the back support between an upright chair position and a lowered table position wherein an upper surface of the seat and a back side surface of the back support form an essentially planar table surface. At least one locking mechanism can be utilized to selectively lock the back support in the upright position. Additionally, the chair can be folded into an essentially flat storage position. A table leaf is also provided to fit between two adjacent convertible chairs in the table position, to produce an extended table configuration.

Abstract: A debris cleanup tool uses a movable eductor to reconfigure the flow scheme through the tool. During the debris pickup mode, pressurized fluid is delivered to through the tubing to the eductor inlet. The outlet of the eductor is into the surrounding annulus where the flow splits with most going to the surface and the rest down and into a mill making cuttings. The flow into the mill takes the cuttings to a collection volume and then screens the internal flow stream before directing it into the eductor inlet. The eductor body can be repositioned to close the eductor outlet to the annulus and open the outlet into the housing to allow reverse flow. In one embodiment a ball is dropped and pressure is built to break a shear pin to shift the eductor body and to open a bypass around the ball.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door module assembly in a motor vehicle door structure, the assembly including a module plate, a bracket, and a door handle pivotally mounted on the bracket. Coacting mounting structures are provided on the module plate and on the bracket which are operative in response to linear sliding movement of the bracket relative to the module plate to mount the bracket on the module plate while permitting a limited degree of linear play to facilitate the installation of the module assembly on the door structure. The coacting mounting structures take the form of a plurality of tabs on the module plate and a respective plurality of keyways in the bracket.

Abstract: A soluble unit dose of laundry detergent which comprises: a) a thin walled hard capsule, having a wall thickness between 0.07 and 0.3 mm and, c) within the thin walled hard capsule a detergent composition comprising at least 1 g of surfactant, which makes up at least 45% wt of the detergent composition. wherein the solubility of the capsule and the detergent composition is such that it will reach a level of 90% of eventually dissolved electrolytes in stirred demineralised water at 25° C. in less than 35 seconds. By choice of a capsule with this wall thickness the solubility is ensured while pressure caking of the contents is resisted to minimise overall dissolution time.
