Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for mixing or dissolving a particulate solid or gel in a liquid to form a solution of a substantially homogeneous concentration. In one example, the apparatus (10) comprises a vessel (18) having a cylindrical portion (20) formed integral with a large diameter end of a conical frustum portion (22). The vessel (18) includes a series of liquid inlets (24A, 24B, 24C) and a solution outlet (26). The liquid inlets (24A, 24B, 24C) are located in a wall of the cylindrical portion (20) and conical frustum portion (22), and the solution outlet (26) is formed at a small diameter end of the conical frustum portion (22).      An elbow-shaped nozzle (28A, 28B, 28C) is connected to each of the liquid inlets (24A, 24B, 24C), the nozzles (28A, 28B, 28C) designed to direct a flow of liquid parallel to an inside surface of the vessel (18). The apparatus (10) also comprises a venturi (30) located adjacent the outlet (26) so as to create a low pressure zone downstream of the venturi (30) and thus suck or draw liquid (14) or solution (16) from the vessel (18).

Title: Improved system and method and articles of manufacture for automated advisory decision and control services using improved decision support systems with model license protection
Inventor: DROBEFSKY PERRY
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1999-01-08
Abstract: A decision support system is described in which data structures (elementary models) consisting of a hierarchical arrangement of criteria and containing textual meta-data and numerical values, may be reduced to form a sub-set of criteria in which the sub-set of criteria (the aggregate model) represents a meaningful sample of the information content of the descendant criteria, tailored to the needs of a specific client. A process is described wherein one expert in the art of tailoring of a large hierarchical structure customizes said elementary model to create the aggregate model. In addition, the expert may provide a set of charts and explanatory text - called decision objects, that may be clustered into visual decision dictionaries (VDD's). Said VDD's may further be clustered into decision procedures. Said decision procedures may then be used to guide a client through systematic and thorough analysis on the tailored model data in order to reach a well-informed and often negotiated decision. Decision procedures can be stored systematically in knowledge bases, said knowledge having accrued from a research process on decision making using said aggregate models by Clients and other sources. As well, a system and method is described to protect the licensing of said tailored models. The application of the system and method using tailored models in automated decision making, automated advisory services and control processes is further assisted by utilizing the concept of hidden nodes, thereby providing summary information to human or automated controllers, and expanding said information base on an as needed basis, dependent on constraint information and restrictions for its disclosure. In addition, such methods require 'on-the'-fly' scenario and 'what-if' actions using decision objects, decision procedures and visual dictionaries as symbolic visual representations of the decision process. This current invention discloses system and method for tailoring models that then provides means for automated advisory services to determine a systematic customized process, for informed and conditional decision making. As well, said process provides the means to automate decision making procedures, allowing for use in decision and control environments, wherein it provides conditional elements to any course taken by human operators.

Title: Method of spectroscopic investigation of electromagnetic radiation by means of a fourier spectrometer
Inventor: HASCHBERGER PETER
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1999-05-28
Abstract: The correction method of the invention synthesizes a distortion-free interferogram (or spectrum) from a measured interferogram, which has been distorted by detector non-linearities, and a finite series of orthogonal functions derived therefrom. The coefficients of the series of functions are selected with a priori knowledge about the limited spectral sensitivity of the radiation detector, preferably with the method of Gaussian least squares fit of observation, such that the resulting spectrum assumes the value of zero of the distortion-free spectrum outside of the sensitivity range, and in freely-definable ranges. The method of the invention can be used to correct detector non-linearities, as occur in Fourier spectroscopy.

Title: Shelf organizing system
Inventor: THALENFELD DAVID R
IPC: A47F1/12
Filed: 2000-02-07
Abstract: A shelf organizing system for dividing flat merchandise display shelving. An extruded front rail member typically of generally L-shaped configuration is secured to the front of a shelf, providing a vertical barrier wall. A retention channel, preferably including one or more resilient retention flanges, is formed integrally with the front rail member. Divider elements, extruded in continuous lengths and cut to desired length for particular shelf width, are formed with a vertical flange and a horizontal stabilizing flange. The stabilizing flange is insertable in the retention channel, at any point along its length, and is tightly gripped therein to hold the divider element in any desired position. The divider element may be easily installed by pressing laterally into contact with merchandise to be segregated, and then moving the divider into the retention channel. Divider elements may also be formed advantageously of wire instead of plastic. The system facilitates maintenance of neat shelf displays, which has been proven to increase sales.
