  • Publication number: 20240127318
    Abstract: A food ordering and delivering system is disclosed to facilitate delivery of food and beverages at a beach. The system provides a software application communicatively coupled to a server system, a user can select a restaurant and cuisine, and then order food items. A delivery partner is automatically selected by the system for delivering the ordered food to a kiosk placed at the remote location or beach wherein the kiosk includes a plurality of lockers. In some embodiments, the locker is secured and is accessible using a passcode for accessing the food stored by the delivery partner. The application displays nearby restaurants, and the system eliminates the need to bring food to the remote location or to leave the remote location to go to a restaurant.

  • Patent number: 9495299
    Abstract: Part of a plurality of ways are selected from among the ways according to a value of select data created based on tag address information which is part of address information, and cache tags are read. Further, when performing cache fill, the cache memory performs the cache fill on a cache entry selected from part of the ways according to the value of the select data. For select data used for selecting a way, e.g. parity data in connection with tag address information is used. A way to read a cache tag from is selected based on a value of parity data and further, the way of a cache entry to perform cache fill on is selected.

  • Patent number: 5147512
    Abstract: The higher boiling ketone isomers are difficult to separate one from another by conventional distillation or rectification because of the close proximity of their boiling points. Ketone isomers can be readily separated from each other by extractive distillation. Typical examples of effective agents are: for 3-pentanone from 2-pentanone, dipropylene glycol; 3-hexanone from 2-hexanone, butoxypropanol; 3-heptanone from 2-heptanone, 50% ethylene glycol--50% butoxypropanol; 3-octanone from 2-octanone, ethylene glycol diacetate.
