Abstract: A process of receiving, through a virtual assistant application, a request made by a user to transfer funds from a user account. The process may involve requesting, through the virtual assistant application, that the user identify a user account from which to transfer the funds and identify a receiving account to which the funds are transferred. The process may further involve attempting to transfer the funds from the user account to the receiving account and reporting, through the virtual assistant application, a result of an attempted transfer of the funds.

Abstract: The present technology relates to tamper evident films, systems and methods for detecting tamper events in films or film packages. The present technology is especially useful in applications for detecting tamper events with individually packaged goods, as well as with bulk packaging or wrapped pallets in circumstances where visual inspection is hampered or prevented. In one or more preferred systems, films and methods of the present technology utilize a conductive pattern, a sensor and/or alarm circuit, and a wrapping film, such as a stretch film, shrink wrap, bagging or stretchhooder. In at least one particularly preferred embodiment, films of the present technology are stretch films having conductive ink patterns applied thereto that remain conductive when the films are stretched to a percent stretch of about 1% or greater. In other embodiments, a conductive material can be separately wrapped and/or cowrapped in conjunction with a film.

Abstract: A laundry cleaning delivery system that dispenses cleaning liquid into laundry machines is disclosed. A cleaning solution is impregnated into a sheet that has a fabric substrate sufficient to contain the correct amount of cleaning solution to clean a particular load of laundry. The fabric substrate comprises hydraulically entangled nonwoven fibrous material periodically perforated to create sheets of a desired size and roll count and wound into rolls that are placed into resealable containers. The active ingredients of the cleaning solution comprise amyl acetate and alcohol etoxylate. Also, methods of using and manufacturing a laundry cleaning delivery system are disclosed herein.

Abstract: The fluid delivery system generally includes a source of injection fluid, a pump device a fluid path set disposed between the source of injection fluid and the pump device, and a fluid control device. The fluid path set includes a multi-position valve. The fluid control device is operatively associated with the fluid path set and includes a valve actuator adapted to operate the multi-position valve. The valve actuator is adapted to close the multi-position valve to isolate the pump device from a patient and stop flow of the injection fluid to the patient at substantially any pressure or flow rate generated by the pump device for delivering a sharp bolus of the injection fluid to the patient. The valve actuator is generally adapted to selectively place the pump device in fluid communication with the source of injection fluid for supplying the injection fluid to the pump device and the patient.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for the policy driven provisioning of a Web conference. A Web conference provisioning system can include a policy manager coupled to at least two different Web conferencing platforms over a computer communications network. The policy manager can have a configuration for processing a request for a Web conferencing from a communicatively linked end user to select one of the Web conferencing platforms to host the Web conference. Preferably, two of the different Web conferencing platforms can include a CPE based platform and a hosted platform.

Abstract: A display apparatus having a base portion and a display support portion extending vertically from the base portion. At least one display feature bearing at least one graphic presentation is connected to the display apparatus. More specifically, the display apparatus includes elongate pontoons, a plurality of column members extending from each of the pontoons, an elongate transverse member with each of the column members connecting thereto, and a plurality of cross-members extending between the pontoons. The pontoons, the column members, the transverse member and the cross-members each comprise an independently inflatable compartment. The display apparatus further comprises a ballast system including elongate ballasts mounted to the pontoons, and display features removably affixed to the column members which extend between the transverse member and the pontoons.

Abstract: An inflatable display apparatus including at least one inflatable platform having a plurality of walls surrounding a base portion, and at least one inflatable display attached to the platform. The inflatable display is configured to extend from the platform when inflated and be generally contained within the walls of the platform when deflated. A method is included comprising providing inflatable display apparatus, inflating an inflatable display on the basis of a preselected criteria, and deflating the inflatable display after inflating the inflatable display such that the inflatable display is generally contained within the walls of the platform when deflated.

Abstract: A transfer printing medium comprising a substrate supporting a thermal transfer dye and a radiation absorber positioned to provide thermal energy to the transfer dye when subjected to radiation within a predetermined absorption waveband, has a radiation absorber which is an infra-red absorbing poly(substituted)phthalocyanine compound in which each of at least five of the peripheral carbon atoms in the 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13 or 16 positions (the "3,6-positions") of the phthalocyanine nucleus, as shown in Formula I, is linked by an atom from Group VB or Group VIB of the Periodic Table, other than oxygen, to a carbon atom of an organic radical. In preferred compounds each of the eight 3,6-positions is linked by an atom from Group VB or Group VIB, especially sulphur, selenium or nitrogen, to an organic radical.

Abstract: A barrier for confining an area of monomolecular film on a Langmuir trough comprises a first barrier portion consisting of a transverse part and a longitudinal part and a second barrier portion connected at its ends to the ends of the first barrier portion and having two further longitudinal parts, one close to the first longitudinal part and the other further away. By altering the position of another transverse part joining the two further longitudinal parts the area enclosed is varied by changing the length of the longitudinal part close to the first longitudinal part and altering the length of the longitudinal part further away by an amount such that the sum of the two altered lengths remains constant.

Abstract: An anchorage for elastic lingoes 11 of a loom harness comprises a plurality of rail members 12 each extending across the loom and arranged adjacent and parallel to one another in to a support so as to be separately removable and replaceable with their lingoes 11 still attached. The loom is easier to clean than conventional looms.

Abstract: Electrophoresis of a colloidal suspension of a semiconducting sulphide, sulphoselenide, selenide or telluride in an aqueous medium produces a thin pin-hole-free film on a surface of a substrate. The film may be employed in solar cells.

Abstract: Application of heat preferentially to one surface of a film of a semiconducting sulphide, sulphoselenide, selenide or telluride to establish a temperature differential between the surfaces of the film improves the electrical and photochemical properties of the film. The film may be employed in solar cells. Preferably the film is prepared by electrophoresis of a colloidal suspension of the semiconductor in an aqueous medium.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of gloves comprising: pre-coating a light-weight textile fabric substrate on one side only when a foamed dispersion consisting of a synthetic rubber and polyvinyl chloride; curing the dispersion; superposing two plies of the pre-coated fabric with their pre-coated surfaces in contact; welding together the two pieces of fabric along a welding zone in the shape of the outline of a hand; cutting out the shape thus defined using a shaped knife through the welding zone; turning the so-formed glove-shell inside out to bring the pre-coating to the outside; placing the inverted glove-shell onto a form in the shape of a hand; and dipping the form and the precoated outer surface of the glove shell mounted on the form into a liquid plastics material to provide an impervious outer coating, such outer coating being prevented from striking through into the fabric due to the pre-coating of the fabric.
