  • Publication number: 20220061363
    Abstract: The invention is a pouch made of all-natural fabric, which contains loose plant-based absorbant capable of absorbing grease through the confines of the bag. The bag is sealed to keep the loose absorbant contained and insertable into a cooking food. Attached to the main body of the bag, a draw string tether connects the small paper tag with the invention's name printed and allows opening and closing the bag for replacing the absorbant therein. The whole product is biodegradable and can suitably be disposed of after use. The disclosed absorbant pouch is made of a material including hemp fiber having a predefined molecular porosity. The organic absorbant in the pouch molecularly bonds with a grease molecule entering through the molecular porosity of the pouch, wherein a combined size of the grease molecule bonded with the organic absorbant is larger than the molecular porosity of the pouch material.

  • Publication number: 20210295349
    Abstract: Examples provide a system and method for handling non-damage related errors in received freight. A front-end error handling application applies a set of user-configurable rules to obtain information associated with a detected error in a received item. The error handling application creates a ticket, including a predetermined number of images of the received item, for uploading to a vendor correction of errors (VCOE) backend for resolving the error tickets. The VCOE component determines when to deny or close error tickets and sends notifications requesting appropriate remedies to resolve error tickets to one or more providers associated with the non-compliant received item. The provider can include a vendor, carrier, or distribution center. Aggregated data from a plurality of error tickets is provided via a dashboard for user review.

  • Publication number: 20200386644
    Abstract: A device and method for the visual inspection of the existence of pressure within a branch line of pipe is described. A mechanical tee includes a collar portion configured to extend around a pipe. The collar portion defines an axis and includes one or more fasteners to secure the tee to the pipe. A neck portion is coupled to the collar portion. The channel of the neck portion is in fluid communication with the interior of the pipe. A seal is used to prevent leakage between the pipe and the mechanical tee. A pressure indicating device is in fluid communication with the channel of the neck portion and configured to provide a visual indication of the pressure level in the channel. The pressure indicating device may optionally include electrical contacts to communicate with a monitoring system to discern and track the pressure levels in the channel.

  • Publication number: 20140336764
    Abstract: A device, system, and method for performing a spinal procedure. The device includes first and second shape-memory outer platforms, the outer platforms expanding at a temperature greater than the transformative temperature, a core member having first and second expansion bodies and first and second wedge members, the first expansion body being coupled to the first outer platform and the second expansion body being coupled to the second outer platform, and a screw rotatably disposed within the core member, the screw passing through at least a portion of each of the first and second wedge members. Rotation of the screw causes the first and second wedge members to move toward each other and the first and second expansion bodies to move away from each other. Thus, reaching a transformation temperature and rotating the screw expands the device to come in contact with and anchored against both of the adjacent vertebrae.
