Abstract: A method for identification of application interdependency. The method includes receiving dependency data in a Application Interdependency Identification Tool (AIIT) system, and identifying a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data by a dependency engine. The method also includes displaying the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships. There is also an AIIT system including a dependency engine and a dependency database. The AIIT system is configured to receive dependency data. The dependency engine is configured to identify a plurality of applications and dependency relationships corresponding to the dependency data and display the dependency data according to the identified applications and dependency relationships.

Abstract: A ventilation system includes one or more exhaust fans and one or more make up air fans. Each fan has is driven by a motor operating at a constant speed. Each fan and motor are coupled by a torque converter, so that the torque applied to the fan is constant. Exhaust fan speed varies according to the ideal gas law, whereby the fan speed automatically varies in response to changes in system conditions, such as temperature and the associated changes in air density and resistance to the fan.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for composing documents such as bank checks with a picture of an account holder on each check comprising the steps of a) capturing a real time video image of the account holder at a bank site; b) converting the image to a digital image file in a personal computer; c) composing a picture check as a graphics image file in the personal computer; d) merging the digital image file and graphics image file to form a picture check; and e) printing one or more picture checks at the bank site and delivering the picture checks to the customer.

Abstract: A process for producing an injection molded product includes the step of introducing an amount of a molten thermoplastic sufficient for the preparation of the injection molded product into a mold cavity. A quantity of heated gas is introduced into the mold cavity, the molten thermoplastic in the mold cavity thereby forming a gas cavity in the molten thermoplastic. The heated gas is then vented from the gas cavity and a cooling gas is introduced into the gas cavity. The injection molded product is cooled and then the cooling gas is vented from the gas cavity.

Abstract: A thermowell assembly consists of an elongated tube member including a channel and having a plurality of arm members disposed at diverse lengths and extending into the channel of the tube member. Thermocouple guide tubes including passageways for receiving a thermocouple are disposed in the channel of the elongated tube member with a terminal end portion of each thermocouple guide tube being mounted to respective arm members.

Abstract: Apparatus for effecting the function conventionally performed by the distributor plate in static, packed, or fluidized beds wherein the bed particles are supported or stabilized by an electric field imposed by an external source of electric potential.
