Configuring of a communications environment is facilitated. A mapping tool is provided that aids in the configuring of various components of a communications environment, such as an input/output (I/O) subsystem of the environment. Data generated from an order process and a logical configuration definition are used as input to the mapping tool. The tool performs mapping and generates as output a physical configuration definition, and optionally, one or more reports. The mapping tool has a manual function, as well as an automatic function.

A method and system for providing a radiation treatment to a patient utilizing a radiation treatment unit is disclosed. The method and system comprises relevant identifying information about the patient to a server and determining the disease of the patient to be treated. The method and system further includes providing the radiation treatment protocol based upon the patient information and the disease from the server to the treatment unit. Accordingly, through the present invention a treatment plan is provided based upon information in a database within the server. In addition, the database can be updated on a regular basis through access to the Internet, intranet, or other types of input to insure that the particular treatment plan provided is the most up-to-date treatment plan for the disease to be treated. In so doing, a system is provided that can be used in settings where experts are not available.

The instant invention is directed to a method for the treatment of emesis comprising administering the compound [R,S]-[2-(1H-Indol-3-yl)-1-methyl-1-(1-phenyl-ethylcarbamoly)-ethyl]-carbamic acid benzofuran-2ylmethyl ester.
摘要:
An animal litter including an extruded smectite clay that forms stronger clumps, when wetted with animal urine, due to the extrusion process. In a preferred embodiment, the extruded smectite clay is mixed, before or after extrusion, with a small percentage, preferably at least about 0.025% to less than 0.1%, based on the dry weight of the smectite clay, of a water-soluble adhesive that forms improved, stronger, more cohesive clumps that can be essentially completely removed from a litter box leaving the remaining litter box contents odor-free.

A composition and method of absorbing animal dross. In one embodiment, the composition comprises discrete particles (about 50 microns to about 3350 microns, preferably about 600 microns to about 3350 microns in size) of a non-compacted water-swellable bentonite clay that effectively absorbs animal dross and simultaneously agglomerates into a sufficiently large and stable mass, thereby permitting physical separation of the soiled and wetted water-swellable bentonite clay particles from discrete particles of the unsoiled and unwetted water-swellable bentonite clay even after partial drying of about 1 to about 24 hours at room temperature, without substantial sticking to animal paws and fur. In another embodiment, the composition comprises discrete particles of a combination of non-compacted water-swellable sodium bentonite clay and calcium bentonite clay that effectively absorbs animal dross and simultaneously agglomerates into a water-dispersible but physically stable mass, thereby permitting physical separation of the soiled and wetted bentonite clay particles from discrete particles of the unsoiled and unwetted water-swellable bentonite clay, and has sufficient water-dispersibility for disposal through a household plumbing or sewer conduit without clogging.
摘要:
A method of treating a water-swellable clay after the clay has been mined and dried. After the common initial drying of the clay to a moisture content of 12% or less, the clay is re-wetted to a moisture content of more than 12% by weight, preferably at least about 15% or more, based on the dry weight of the clay, then redried to a moisture content of 12% by weight or less, based on the dry weight of the clay. This re-wetting and re-drying processing of a dried clay unexpectedly improves the water absorbency, and viscosity properties; increases the effectiveness of the clays as binders in sand molds and iron ore pelletizing; unexpectedly increases the rheology properties of the clays for oilwell drilling fluids, and lost circulation fluids, and as a suspending agent in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries; improves the binding characteristics of the clays to act as a binder for iron ores, such as taconite, and sand molding (foundry industry); and provides unexpectedly increased water absorption in forming water-swellable clay-based water barriers.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for making brick from shale or a mixture of clay and shale by adding to the shale or shale mixture an additive containing sodium bentonite, a water soluble anionic polyelectrolyte polymer, and, preferably, a water soluble dispersant. The additive increases the plasticity and the green strength of the shale or shale mixture so that high quality bricks can be produced from such raw material.

Presentation of a video clip is made to persons having a high probability of viewing the clip. A database containing viewers of previously offered video clips is analyzed to determine similarities of preferences among viewers. When a new video clip has been watched by one or more viewers in the database, those viewers who have watched the new clip with positive results are compared with others in the database who have not yet seen it. Prospective viewers with similar preferences are identified as high likelihood candidates to watch the new clip when presented. Bids to offer the clip are based on the degree of likelihood. For one embodiment, a data collection agent (DCA) is loaded to a player and/or to a web page to collect viewing and behavior information to determine viewer preferences. Viewer behavior may be monitored passively by different disclosed methods.
摘要:
Cover means (10) for a wineglass or like container (24) are made from a flat sheet (10), and comprise means (20, 521) adapted to be bent from the sheet (10) and used to inhibit the cover means (10) from slipping off the container, which inhibiting means (20) comprise an inhibiting element (20), e.g. a tab (20), adapted to be bent from the sheet at one or more bends (22, 50, 54) inwards of the periphery (18) of the cover means (10), whereby the whole of said element (22) is located inwards of and spaced from the periphery (18) or at least one said bend (22) extends inwards from said periphery (18). Two, three or more of said elements (20) may be adapted to be inside and/or outside the rim (26) of the container (24). Such an element (20) may point radially or circumferentially, and may be cut from the sheet (10) (or have a line 12 of weakening for ready separation from the sheet 10) apart from at said bend (22). Said elements (20) may be spaced apart around the cover means (10) and/or at different distances from a center to suit the diameters of respective said containers (24). A non-tab form said element (521) may have a cross-section of V-shape in a circumferential direction. The cover means (10) may be formed into a conical shape, e.g. by interlocking means (322, 342), e.g. comprising hook means (322, 342), or be held in conical shape by bending alone; and/or may be adapted to be such that the action of using a finger to apply pressure downwards at one portion of the outer edge of the cover (10) will lever the cover (10) up at the opposite side of the container (24).
摘要:
A straddle packer tool for setting against a constraining wall includes: a drag assembly with a locking mechanism for locking a position of the drag assembly relative to the constraining wall; a mandrel installed in and axially moveable through an inner bore of the drag assembly; and a packing element housing including a first annular packing element and a second annular packing element spaced from the first annular packing element, the packing element housing positioned between a stop shoulder on the mandrel and the drag assembly, the packing element being settable to expand the first annular packing element and the second annular packing element by compression between the drag assembly and the stop shoulder. A valve sub including a pressure actuated piston is also described and may be operated to open using the straddle packer tool.
