20110000797 | ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LONG-TERM MEASUREMENT OF HYPOHALITES - A method and apparatus measures the presence of total residual oxidant species in aqueous environments. More specifically, the apparatus is operable to measure hypohalites (e.g., hypochlorite and hypobromite) in water containing halide salts using electrochemistry. The apparatus can be a sensor having four electrodes—a reference electrode, a working electrode, and two auxiliary electrodes. The fourth electrode, i.e., the second auxiliary electrode, can be used to generate ionized water near and in contact with the working electrode. The ionized water can clean the working electrode to minimize effects due to scaling or biofilm formation. As such, the working electrode does not need the capability to clean itself. Thus, other elements, originally believed to be unsuitable for use in saline aqueous environments, can be used for the electrodes, for example, gold. | 01-06-2011 |

20090001717 | Siphon elbow - A siphon elbow for pivotally connecting separate horizontal and vertical siphon pipes in fluid communication, comprising a horizontal body and a pivot body. The horizontal body has a first, longitudinally-extending passageway defined therethrough between opposite first and second open ends, the first open end connectable to an end of a horizontal siphon pipe. A second passageway is defined transversely through the horizontal body and intersects the first passageway. The second passageway is at least partially defined by opposite openings in the horizontal body. The pivot body has a passageway defined transversely therethrough between first and second open ends, the second open end being connectable to an end of a vertical siphon pipe. The pivot body is freely rotatably supported within the second passageway of the horizontal body so as to permit the positioning of a vertical siphon pipe connected thereto between a first position, characterized in that the vertical siphon pipe is generally longitudinally aligned with the first, longitudinally extending passageway of the horizontal body, and a second position, characterized in that the vertical siphon pipe is aligned at an angle relative to the first, longitudinally extending passageway of the horizontal body. | 01-01-2009 |

20110166986 | Banking Center First Mortgage Origination - A financial institution may determine a first mortgage opportunity for a banking center within a market from market-level data. The market-level data for a market geographical area is obtained for customers originating a first mortgage within a predetermined time period and is typically anonymous while providing a credit score and indicator whether the associated customer is a customer of the financial institution and has conducted a transaction within a predetermined time duration. The market geographical area typically contains a plurality of financial centers for the financial institution. The market-level data is then filtered in order to determine a total mortgage opportunity for the financial institution. From information about the financial centers, the total mortgage opportunity is apportioned among the financial centers in the market. Resources may then be allocated to a financial center based on the estimated mortgage opportunity for the financial center. | 07-07-2011 |
