Abstract: A heat exchanger module (1) has a supply pipe portion (4) and a return pipe portion (6) that are connected fluidically to a heat exchanger chamber (2) of the heat exchanger module (1). The supply pipe portions (4) of a plurality of heat exchanger modules (1) can be interconnected fluidically to form a supply pipe (24), and the return pipe portions (6) of a plurality of heat exchanger modules (1) can be interconnected fluidically to form a return pipe portion (26). A feed pipe (12) is arranged inside the supply pipe portion (4), and a heat exchange fluid can be fed via the feed pipe (12) to the supply pipe portion (4).

Abstract: Heat exchanger element for installation in sewage pipelines, the top side of which heat exchanger element has a heat-conducting exchange surface with heat exchanger chambers arranged on it, the heat exchanger element has in cross section a run-in gutter and run-off surfaces contiguous to the latter on both sides, and, in the region of the run-in gutter and the run-off surfaces, lines for the forward run, return run and distribution of a heat exchanger medium are arranged, the floor point of the run-in gutter, the lower region of the lines and/or the free margins of the run-off surfaces being designed as bearings for arranging the heat exchanger element in the sewage pipeline.

Abstract: The invention relates to a heat exchanger device to be introduced, along a longitudinal direction L, into a sewage pipeline extending along the longitudinal direction L, with a heat exchanger wall, comprising:—a first wall portion designed to make contact with sewage,—a second wall portion, spaced from the first wall portion, which is designed to make contact with the sewage pipeline, wherein the first wall portion and the second wall portion are arranged in a manner spaced from each other at least in some part(s) such that a heat exchanger chamber is formed between the first wall portion and the second wall portion, and—a third wall portion connecting the first wall portion and the second wall portion, the third wall portion at least in some part(s) forming a first supply line that can be flown through by a heat exchange medium, wherein the heat exchanger chamber is hydraulically connected to the first supply line via a first connection region,—a fourth wall portion connecting the first wall portion and the

Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly to be introduced into a sewage pipeline includes: at least one first heat exchanger adapted to thermally contact a heat source with sewage and at least one second heat exchanger adapted to thermally contact the sewage with a heat sink. The at least one second heat exchanger is arranged along the sewage flowing direction in the sewage pipeline and spaced from the at least one first heat exchanger, as well as to a method for transporting thermal energy.

Abstract: An exemplary media distribution reporting system is couplable through a network to a plurality of media players. The exemplary system comprises a memory storing a database having media usage data; and a second media reporting server, the second media reporting server coupled to the memory and adapted to receive from each media player, of the plurality of media players, corresponding data comprising a user identification, an identification of first media, an identification of a plurality of second media inserted into the first media, a date, a time, any user payment amount for the first media; the second media reporting server further adapted to combine the corresponding data from the plurality of media players to generate the media usage data; and the second media reporting server further adapted to generate a plurality of media usage reports for allocation of revenue and payment among a plurality of users, first media providers, and second media providers. Exemplary methods and software are also disclosed.

Abstract: Exemplary apparatus, system, methods, and software are disclosed for media playing. An exemplary media player comprises a user control input; a memory storing a view pointer; a player buffer; a user preference controller adapted to receive input from the user control input and to locate first media; and a second media controller adapted to identify a plurality of second media locations within a first media and to insert selected second media into corresponding locations of the first media for playback. The second media controller is further adapted to insert another selected second media into the first media upon detection of a fast-forward playback discontinuity. The exemplary media player also tracks and reports user identification, an identification of the inserted plurality of second media, an identification of the first media, a date, a time, and any user payment amount for the first media.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide for media delivery and reporting. Modules are defined using a an extendable mark up language for first media, second media, and system users. A first module includes characteristics and requirements for first media and second media locations within the first media. A second module includes a second media description and requirements. A third module for each user includes second media preferences and strategies. Corresponding second media is determined for a selected user by searching and matching the second media preferences and strategies with the characteristics and requirements of the first and second modules. Selected first media and the corresponding second media are transmitted in the form of either at least two separate media packet streams, or as a combined first and second media packet stream with the corresponding second media embedded in the first media at least some of the determined second media locations.

Abstract: A method for analyzing and planning an inventory according to a business objective using computer software is provided, wherein the inventory has related inventory data stored in a computer memory. The method includes the steps of analyzing the inventory data to identity a characteristic of the data configuring via a user interface a plurality of rules for generating a stocking plan in accordance with the business objective and the characteristic, generating the stocking plan, and evaluating the stocking plan in relation to the business objective.
