Abstract: A mooring pole line attachment device is disclosed comprised of a buoyant base, cylindrical sleeve and at least one line engagement means. The buoyant base includes an outer cover, inner coil and is filled with a buoyant material. The base also includes a central bore therethrough having a diameter sufficient to receive the cylindrical sleeve therewithin and to allow the base to be affixed to the sleeve so that inferior termini of both base and sleeve align. The cylindrical sleeve is a tubular structure having a central bore of a sufficient diameter to allow placement of the device upon a mooring pole and to allow for sliding thereupon. The sleeve includes parallel, circumferential rings and grooves utilized as attachment points for mooring ropes. The device is placed upon a mooring pole and, due to its buoyancy, floats and thereby adjusts its position upon the pole in accordance with changes in water level.  The device thus provides a point of mooring line attachment for a boat that moves up and down with changing tides while additionally providing protection for both boat and mooring pole from collision therebetween.

Title: Automated transaction processing system and approach with currency conversion
Inventor: BAILEY WILLIAM H
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2005-10-04
Abstract: Transaction management for contract and contract-related approaches is facilitated. A transaction management system (200) automatically sets contract terms including currency conversion terms (212, 234, 235) for a transaction based on business rules previously established between parties to a transaction. In one implementation, the transaction management node (210) automatically derives a contract term (233) including a pricing-related term for a transaction between a buyer and seller using contract information therefor. The pricing-related term is used to set a price for the transaction, and a currency conversion term is used to convert the set price (or a portion of the set price corresponding to a particular transaction party) into a different currency.

Abstract: Effective use of dispersants in wallboard containing foam results from a method where stucco is mixed with a first dispersant and a first quantity of water to form a gypsum slurry. A soap is blended with a second dispersant and a second quantity of water to make a foam. Subsequently, the foam is combined with the slurry. Choice of different first and second dispersants and their relative amounts allows control of the size distribution of the foam bubbles in the slurry and the resulting voids in the gypsum core. Use of the same dispersant in both the mixer and the foam water provides a boost in efficacy of the dispersant.
