Title: Peeractive technologies and online shopping
Inventor: ROSENTHAL NICHOLAS
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2012-03-27
Abstract: The number of users viewing a given variable directly affects the rate of change and/or outcome of said variable. In the case of eCommerce, pricing of products and/or services is based upon a user through the internet accessing a website on which products and/or services are for sale. An initial price indicia associator associates initial price indicia with the products and/or services files. The initial pricing can be based upon historical indicia or the engine itself. Thereafter, a price indicia adjuster adjusts the pricing responsive to user access of the website or related website. A user interface meter shown on the website indicates to potential buyers how much interest there is in the product and/or service being sold so that peer activity is exhibited to potential buyers to encourage sales and impulsive buying behavior. Pricing is dynamic and adjusts in real-time at a rate determined by the amount of users accessing the website. The level of peer activity can be aggregated across all web sites where products and/or services are sold using the Peeractive technology.

Title: Drilling fluids and drilling fluid additives for treatment of bitumen in wellbore cuttings
Inventor: MA KUANGBIAO
IPC: C09K8/035
Filed: 2013-10-31
Abstract: Aqueous drilling fluid compositions include one or more di-functional carboxylic acids in addition to common drilling fluid constituents such as viscosifiers, fluid loss control additives, weighting materials, and other materials. In certain embodiments, the one or more di-functional carboxylic acids comprise dodecanedioic acid. Such drilling fluid compositions are particularly beneficial for use in drilling operations in bitumen-laden formations such as oil sands, where the drill cuttings will introduce significant amounts of bitumen into the drilling fluid. The inclusion of the di-functional carboxylic acids, in suitable concentrations, reduces the tendency of bitumen to adhere to metal surfaces such as drill string components, and enhances wellbore integrity and stability.

Patent CA-2838133-A1 (CA)
Inventor: POLEVOY RICHARD S
IPC: F16B12/54
Filed: 2005-05-16
Abstract: A bed frame comprising T shaped side rails provide support for a box spring and mattress. A leg assembly is affixed to the bed frame and is affixed to the side rail and to the cross rails for better strength of connection. The use of T-shaped side rails provides more resistance to twisting and bowing and thereby more resistant to damage a leg or other structural component of the bed frame from moving the bed frame across the floor. The use of the T-shaped cross section side rails enables the overall bed frame to support more weight with less deflection than the convention L-shaped side rails. There are also headboard and footboard brackets that take advantage of the greater height of the vertical flange of the side rail to have affixation means, such as rivets, that are further spaced apart to provide a more rigid connection between the brackets and the side rails.

Title: Perimeter pile anchor foundation
Inventor: HENDERSON ALLAN P
IPC: E02D7/00
Filed: 2014-02-27
Abstract: A perimeter pile anchor foundation is built by forming a plurality of individual perimeter pile anchors in a large generally circular pattern to form a perimeter wall. The individual pile anchors are contiguous, each pile overlapping the adjacent piles on either side. The overlapping pile anchors form an arch such that compression and friction between the pile anchors resist soil caving and sloughing pressure when soil inside the perimeter wall is excavated, enabling the perimeter pile foundation to be effectively constructed in weak saturated soils and/or cohesionless sands that will not allow conventional concrete foundation excavations. A concrete foundation ring is formed inside the pile perimeter wall to support a tall and/or heavy tower or other structure subject to high upset forces.

Abstract: Example insulated dividers, such as curtain-doors and temporary walls for dividing areas of a building, include features that make the dividers particularly suited for food and drug related environments that demand cleanliness and require dividers to be periodically washed down to remove microorganisms and other contaminants. Some example dividers include a touch-and-hold fastener to hold a flexible insulated pad within an internal space of a pliable hollow panel. In some examples, the insulated pad is made of polyester batting with loops of fiber to which the hook portion of the touch-and-hold fastener can engage. In some examples, both the insulated pad and the touch-and-hold fastener are completely contained within the hollow panel so that neither the pad nor the fastener provides an exposed external surface for harboring microorganisms. In some examples, the pliable panel's outer peripheral edge is hermetically sealed by thermal bonding, heat sealing, welding and/or ultrasonic joining.
