Abstract: Dynamically updating a filter set includes: obtaining a first message from a first user; evaluating the obtained first message using a filter set; determining that the first message has training potential; updating the filter set in response to training triggered by the first message having been determined to have training potential; obtaining a second message from a second user; and evaluating the obtained second message using the updated filter set.

Abstract: A device which can increase the rates of interfacial reactions including heterogeneous electron transfer reactions, the device comprising at least one sono(electro)chemical cell adapted to hold a thin layer of condensed fluid which is optionally adapted to participate in a heterogeneous electron transfer reaction, wherein the cell is further adapted to provide an ultrasonic transducer face to propagate sound waves into the thin layer of condensed fluid, and wherein the cell is still further adapted with an opening to provide the thin layer of condensed fluid with at least one interface which provides for reflection of the sound waves from the interface back into the thin layer of condensed fluid. The cells are configured to provide for a thin layer operation as opposed to a bulk operation. In method embodiments, ultrasound is applied to the thin layer of condensed fluid. The application of ultrasound is carried out both without cooling of the cell and without pressurization of the cell.

Abstract: A scalable visualization system includes a plurality of scalable tiles (10) that each comprise a display portion (18) and a processing portion (20). Each of the display portions (18) define a portion of a physical display space. Each of the processing sections defines a processing node in the parallel processing system. The parallel processing system operating on a single node or a plurality of nodes. A message fabric (36) is provided to connect CPU nodes (34) and each of the tiles (10) together. The tiles (10) are scaled by interconnecting them to form the desired display space with each of the display elements (18). As each tile (10) is added to the overall display space, an additional CPU node (34) is also added, such that not only is the display space scaled up from a physical coordinant standpoint, but the processing power is also scaled up. In addition, each of the CPU nodes (34) is operable to update an associated display list (28) that defines the parameters of the display element (18 ).

Abstract: A shrouded type fluid coupling is provided with a valve in the shroud for permitting fluid flow through the shroud in one direction and for preventing fluid flow through the shroud in the opposite direction.
