Publication number: 20220218865Abstract: An ultraviolet cyclonic fluid dosing system for disinfecting fluid materials is described. The dosing system includes a dosing chamber that includes a cylindrical chamber portion and a conical chamber portion. The cylindrical chamber portion has a fluid outlet and a fluid inlet that causes fluid material to enter the upper chamber and travel a helical path down through the upper chamber and into the conical chamber, from where it travels upward in exits through the fluid outlet. As the fluid material passes through the cylindrical and conical chambers, it is dosed with disinfecting ultraviolet light. The system advantageously increases the exposure time of the fluid material to the disinfecting ultraviolet light is increased as compared to non-cyclonic dosing systems having the same volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Branden Lee Doyle, Christopher Sean Doyle

Patent number: 10986045Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a single point of interaction for communicating with a first agent and a second agent. An embodiment operates by a server sending a preliminary request for a preliminary response to the first agent and the second agent and, based on the preliminary request, receiving the preliminary response from the first agent. Thereafter, the server determines that the first agent is a preferred agent based on the preliminary response and maintains a line of communication to the preferred agent. The server then sends a follow-up request for a follow-up response different from the preliminary request to the preferred agent over the line of communication and receives the follow-up response from the preferred agent over the line of communication.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Stefan Kirchfeld, Sean Doyle, Martin Steiner, Matthias Kruse
