IPC: H04L12/16
Filed: 2013-09-03
Abstract: A social networking and fundraising method supports charitable causes. An author creates a story related to the charitable cause by way of a life experience of the author. A  sponsor maintains a website, a central computer, and a database. The story and the author identity are stored on the database. A bracelet is created which is associated with each author.  The author identity and a link to the sponsor website is reproduced on the bracelet. The author creates a self-handprint, which is reproduced on the bracelet. The sponsor sells the bracelets to purchasers, who learn about the charities and stories. A portion of the sales proceeds from the bracelets go to the charitable cause with which the author is connected. The purchaser has access to the author's story on the sponsor central computer database. The purchaser can connect with other purchasers of bracelets associated with the same author.

Title: Process for purifying absorbents comprising polyethylene glycol dimethyl ethers
Inventor: PARISI PAUL
IPC: B01J20/34
Filed: 2012-04-10
Abstract: A process for purifying polyethylene glycol dimethyl ethers (PGDE) based absorbent (known as Selexol®) having acidic contaminants and salts thereof, this process being particularly useful in an acid gas removal loop process (known as Selexol® process). A base, such as ammonium hydroxide (NH3OH), is added to the absorbent to partly of fully convert the acid into simple salts. The salts are removed in an electrodialysis cell. The base can be added directly to the absorbent either from a fresh chemical feed or as base contained in the regenerator's reflux stream. Alternatively the base can be added directly into the electrodialysis unit. The solution is diluted before electrodialysis. The absorbent can be simultaneously diluted and neutralized using reflux from the regeneration section that contains dissolved ammonia. The purified solution can be used again to remove carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, sulfur dioxide, mercaptans and other acid gases from a gas stream.

Abstract: A rotating rotor in a turbine has blades attached. At least one blade is a reference blade of which a reference position is determined by a Once-Per-Rotation sensor. A camera positioned at a viewing port takes a sequence of images of all the blades during a rotation at a trigger moment determined by a controller. The controller receives a signal indicating that the reference blade passes its reference point. The controller is provided with data about the number of blades, the position of the camera and a desired dwell of an image related to the blade. The controller calculates the trigger moments and generates trigger signals to the camera. The trigger moment is adjusted for changing rotor speed by extracting a blade feature from blade images. The camera records images that are labeled and stored as image data on a storage device.
