An arrangement and a method comprising maintaining knowledge of a number of current network connections that require performing a periodic network operation (204, 206, 208, 210), with one or more predetermined timing sequences, targeted to at least one remote entity for maintaining the connections, and adjusting the time of execution of at least two such network operations to regularly substantially coincide (212).

Computer-implemented offer redemption process including receiving notification from supported trackers, each having a different known configuration, to enable each supported tracker to pass field / s, specific to the configuration, in which an ID of a content offer is stored. The offer is defined as a quantity of a currency, to an advertiser having an account, upon app installation. Responsively to receipt of notification, offer id and / or advertiser account is validated using field / s in which offer's ID is stored. If validated, processor is used for redeeming the offer including generating and storing a voucher with unique voucher ID on computer storage medium, passing voucher ID, user / device id, app identifier, and currency and quantity to advertiser such that advertiser can enable the quantity of the currency in an app identified by the app identifier, for the user / device. Generated voucher is marked “redeemed” to prevent recurring redemption.

The invention relates to a soluble coffee beverage powder, which, upon the addition of water, is capable of forming a coffee beverage having a foamed upper surface. The soluble coffee beverage powder includes a soluble gas containing matrix comprising soluble coffee solids and a soluble filler, with the soluble filler constituting at least about 35% by weight of the dry matter of the matrix in order to increase the volume of the soluble coffee beverage powder incorporating gas. A particular preferred filler is an oligofructose that has a good solubility and which positively influences on the taste of the prepared coffee beverage. The invention also relates a soluble coffee beverage powder providing a black foamed coffee. The invention also provides a process for preparing such a soluble coffee beverage powder.

A smart pillow unit and processes for providing active noise cancellation and biofeedback.

The present invention provides a hollow cathode discharging apparatus including a hollow anode electrode, a hollow cathode electrode insulatedly fixed in the hollow anode electrode, a gas distribution pipe fixed in the hollow cathode electrode. The hollow anode electrode and the hollow cathode electrode are formed with anode openings and cathode openings respectively. Defined by the gas distribution pipe and the hollow cathode electrode and along the axis thereof is a spiral pathway winding through the cathode openings, so as to form a plurality of continuous and communicated reaction chambers. The gas distribution pipe is disposed with gas separation apertures communicated and adapted to introduce a reactive gas into the reaction chambers. The communicated reaction chambers enable uniform distribution of the reactive gas and thereby facilitate scale-up of the apparatus in axial. Accordingly, the present invention overcomes drawbacks of the prior art.

A substrate with a textured surface is disclosed. The substrate may be, for example, a light emitter comprising a light guide, for example a backlight element for use in a display device, wherein a surface of the light guide, for example a glass substrate, is configured to have a textured surface with a predetermined RMS roughness and a predetermined correlation length of the texture. A plurality of light scatter suppressing features can be provided on the textured surface. Textured surfaces disclosed herein may be effective to reduce electrostatic charging of the substrate surface. Methods of producing the textured surface are also disclosed.

A feeding fence section (1, 1′) suitable for separating a feeding area (4) for animals and a feed-holding part (5) is disclosed, where the feeding fence section (1, 1′) is provided with flexible mounting means (2), which allows the fence section (1, 1′) to be angularly displaced by said animals from a starting position (1) towards a tilted position (1′) about a substantially horizontal, longitudinal axis, wherein the mounting means (2) are biasing the fence section from said tilted position (1′) towards the starting position (1).

A method and arrangement of producing polymer comprising polymerizing in reactor having a top zone having a generally conical shape, a middle zone in direct contact with and below said top zone having a generally cylindrical shape, a bottom zone having a generally conical shape thereby polymerizing at least one olefin, in the presence of a polymerization catalyst and fluidization gas to obtain (i) a first stream comprising fluidization gas and particles of olefin polymer, (ii) a second stream comprising fluidization gas and agglomerates of olefin polymer, (iii) a third olefin polymer product stream—directing the first stream comprising fluidization gas and olefin polymer particles to a series of at least three cyclones connected to the fluidized bed reactor—separating agglomerates of olefin polymer from the second stream, withdrawing from the fluidized bed polymerization reactor the third olefin polymer product stream.

The present invention relates to a salvage or safety suit worn by a person escaping a shipwreck. The suit includes a receptacle structured to receive and enclose a person's body and a head opening for entering the receptacle. The receptacle is layered to provide flotation and thermo-insulation properties to the suit.

The invention discloses a seafood temporary-culture water circulation purification system and a seafood temporary-culture machine using the same. The system comprises culture pools, wherein the plurality of culture pools are arranged in parallel; a water inlet of each culture pool individually communicates with a corresponding refrigeration water tank, the plurality of refrigeration water tanks are arranged in parallel, and the number of the refrigeration water tanks corresponds to the number of the culture pools; and a water outlet of each culture pool individually communicates with a corresponding filtration box, the plurality of filtration boxes are arranged in parallel, and the number of the filtration boxes corresponds to the number of the culture pools. Refrigerants are introduced tothe refrigeration water tanks to cool culture waters, a plurality of cold culture waters in different temperature zones are formed, and low-temperature culture waters are respectively fed into the culture pools for seafood temporary-culture. After temporary-culture, culture waters containing impurities and proteins are sent to the filtration boxes to filter, degrade and remove proteins, and thenthe culture waters are reduced to clean waters to cyclic utilization. Water temperatures of the culture pools are constant and stable, temporary-culture time is long, seafood culture in a plurality ofdifferent temperature zones is realized, numbers of temporary-culture varieties are large, and people consumption requirements are satisfied.

In a computing machine having a processing unit, memory and a display device for playing a video game, the video game comprising at least one or more game characters, the at least one or more game character being controlled by a special purpose computing input device connected to said computer and operable by a game player, the video game further comprising character dialog between or among the at least one or more game characters, the character dialog comprising vignettes of dialog wherein movement from one vignette to another is determined by the game player introducing emotion into the dialog by means of the special purpose computing input device. The special purpose computing input device introduces emotion into the video game during a character dialog or character encounter along an axis of a joystick or other game controller element.
