Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for tag and thread assembly for tagged infusion packets. Spaced tags from a strip of tags and a length of thread are laid over each other on the periphery of a first assembly wheel and the thread is drawn out in loops between successive tags. The spaced tags and looped thread are transferred to a second assembly wheel where they are connected to a web of sheet material that is to form the infusion packets. The web is subsequently formed into a series of compartments in which infusion material is contained. The compartments are severed from the web for forming the individual packets and the thread is simultaneously severed between the packets.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides novel ways to modify/functionalize, including crosslink, ligands in the surface coating or molecules in other coatings on a nanoparticle, by using radical addition reactions to add a reactant group onto a ligand/molecule of a nanoparticle. Examples include using a functionalized benzophenone that can be attached or crosslinked to a ligand in the surface coating of a nanocrystal by photochemically-initiated radical addition.
Abstract:
A system is described having a network, a bus and an interface coupling the network to the bus. A host is coupled to the network and executes software to generate packets for communication on the network. A bus device is coupled to the bus. The interface and host coordinate to transport bus device packets between the host and the bus device via tunneling over the network.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for making an alcoholic beverage. In particular, the invention relates to methods for making an alcoholic beverage comprising distilling a first portion of an alcoholic mixture to provide a first distillate; distilling a second portion of the alcoholic mixture under conditions sufficient to provide a second distillate having a composition different from the first distillate; and admixing at least a portion of the first distillate and at least a portion of the second distillate to make a first blend. The first blend may optionally be aged, proof-adjusted, sparged with gas, and/or filtered to provide an alcoholic beverage. In one embodiment, the alcoholic beverage is tequila.
Abstract:
A tagged packet carries a tag which is attached to the main body of the packet by a thread. The thread comprises polypropylene so as to be attachable by heat sealing to the body. The body is made up of layers of sheet material also comprising thermoplastic material to allow the body to be closed by heat seals. The thread is secured to the face of the body at one edge at the same time as that edge is heat sealed and the heating for the thread seal is applied from the opposite face of the body whereas the adjacent regions of edge seal spaced from the thread has the heating applied through the first face. This arrangement gives closer control of the different conditions required for securing the thread and for sealing together only the sheet material of the body.

Abstract:
Shaped articles are cut from a web by correspondingly shaped cutters on a drum cooperating with an anvil drum. The web is engaged by conveyor bands which pass around the cutter and anvil drums and form a continuing conveying path for the web away from the drums. The conveyor bands are clear of the article shapes cut in the web which can thus be positively separated from the web by pusher means to be drawn away from the web by their own conveying means.
Abstract:
A wind turbine assembly for covering wind energy into electrical energy includes a housing that is positioned adjacent to a roadway. An intake chute is integrated into the housing and the intake chute is oriented to face oncoming traffic on the roadway thereby facilitating the intake chute to direct wind produced by the oncoming traffic into the housing. A wind turbine is rotatably disposed within the intake chute such that the wind turbine is rotated by the wind produced by the oncoming traffic. A generator is positioned in the housing and the generator is in mechanical communication with the wind turbine. The generator is rotated when the wind turbine rotates to convert wind energy into electrical energy.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing dynamic content processing in a reverse proxy server. The reverse proxy server may include modules for handling dynamic links, invalid or incorrect HTML code, and the like, in HTTP data. The reverse proxy server may further accept user- or administrator-defined specific modules for handling HTTP data. Upon receiving the HTTP data from the host server in response to a request from a client, the reverse proxy server determines whether pre-patching module(s) or post-patching module(s) are to be executed. Depending on the determination specific modules are executed before, after, or before and after generic patching. In one embodiment, the modules may include tags for automatic starting of an application tunnel, when an application requiring an application tunnel is to be launched at a host server.
