A deformable shape retaining sheet of material is provided that can be formed around another object, such as a drinking vessel. The sheet has an absorbent layer, a shape retaining layer, and a decorative layer. The absorbent layer contacts the other object and absorbs any liquid that forms or leaks from the vessel. The shape retaining layer maintains the shape of the material to prevent it from falling away and also prevents any liquid that is present in the absorbent layer from moving to the decorative layer.

A rotary filtration apparatus is provided, of the type which includes a multiplicity of membrane packs arranged in a stack on a rotor frame, which facilitates replacement of membrane packs. A membrane pack assembly (16, FIG. 1) includes a multiplicity of membrane packs arranged in a stack between a pair of stack plates (70, 72), and held in compression by several tension members (80) spaced about the pack and coupled to the plates. The rotor frame (14) has top and bottom frame plates (50, 52) and a plurality of tying members (40) tying peripheral portions of the plates together. A sufficient number of the tying members are removable to leave an opening in the frame periphery that is large enough to allow the precompressed membrane stack assembly (16) to be moved radially into the rotor frame, at which time the removed tying members are replaced. The membrane packs can be stacked within a group of tying members (234, FIG. 10), and can be compressed by a compressor (280, FIG. 11) that includes a tension member (282) extending through center holes in the membrane packs.

A portable isolation cabinet includes a body with a sidewall, a floor, and a positioning device. The sidewall is located on an edge of the floor. The positioning device is disposed on an interior face of the sidewall for removably securing a combination amplifier. The lid is pivotally connected to the body along one of its edges lid and an edge of the sidewall. The insulation is located on the interior face of the sidewall and is operable to absorb, and prevent reflection of, sound. The body and the lid are operable to close and thereby form an enclosed interior space. A focuser reflects sound emanating from the amplifier and directs it to a microphone.

This invention provides a system, method, and software program for providing software intelligence to Radio Frequency Identity (RFID) tags. Utilizing the unique characteristics of the Service Grid, mobile software agents can relocate in close proximity to RFID tagged items. Once associated with the tag, these RFID agents migrate near where items are identified to provide local control, environmentally responsive policy, and ongoing permanent data capture & history. These RFID agents respond to events as circumstances require. They transport data and policy between supply-chain partners when the partners participate in a secure extranet. Enhanced service grids composed of distributed agents, comprising numerous services, facilitates supply-chain security and integration as virtual software service agents, including virtual RFID tags, are directed from one computer to another computer in response to changing conditions.

The systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products described herein provide the capability to convert physical debt instruments into digital representations, and to completely manage all aspects of the instruments lifecycle digitally. This allows for real-time update of debt clauses and covenants at a very low cost. Furthermore, the digital representations create immutable histories, which simplify and streamline the process of auditing, confirming legal compliance, and performing due diligence for syndication or securitization. The systems, apparatus, methods, and computer program products described herein further provide automatic updates of key metrics from disparate data sources, notarization of contractual changes, and automated disbursement of funds or creation of new asset classes.
