20100180333 | Communication Abuse Prevention - Communication abuse prevention techniques are described. In an implementation, a reputation level for a communication is determined based on relation information for a sender and an intended recipient of the communication. A challenged is invoked that is to be completed by the sender before the communication is sent. The challenge is selected based on the reputation level for the communication. | 07-15-2010 |
20100192211 | Revocable Object Access - Techniques are described to provide revocable object access. In an implementation, a user may provide content and an object (e.g., a picture) to be published with the content. The object is uploaded to a storage location, and a uniform resource locator (URL) that includes a token is generated for the object. The token is registered in an access control list (ACL), and token permission settings in the ACL are utilized to control access to the object. The URL may be embedded in the content. When a viewer requests the content, the object may be retrieved from the storage location using the URL. The user may revoke access to the object by changing the token permission settings in the ACL. | 07-29-2010 |
20120240202 | Communication Abuse Prevention - Communication abuse prevention techniques are described. In an implementation, a reputation level for a communication is determined based on relation information for a sender and an intended recipient of the communication. A challenge is invoked that is to be completed by the sender before the communication is sent. The challenge is selected based on the reputation level for the communication. The communication is caused to be available for access based on successful completion of the challenge. Access to the communication is inhibited in response to a subsequent determination of the reputation level that indicates that the reputation level for the communication has changed to a new reputation level prior to the communication being accessed by the intended recipient. The subsequent determination is based on additional information associated with the sender of the communication | 09-20-2012 |

20140083541 | FLUID END OF A HIGH PRESSURE PUMP HAVING A GROOVE ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A SPRING RETAINER OF A SUCTION VALVE - A fluid end of a high-pressure pump having a bore, a discharge bore, a suction bore, a valve cover bore, and a cross-bore intersection formed in portions of the fluid end. The bore, discharge bore, valve cover bore, and suction bore each having an opening which opens into the cross-bore intersection with the suction and discharge bores substantially orthogonal to the bore. A groove is formed in a wall of the fluid end within in the cross-bore intersection. The groove traverses a curvilinear path around an open space. The groove has a first section and a second section, each section having a first end and a second end. The first and second sections are separated by a gap proximate the bore and valve cover bore. A spring retainer is received into the groove and secured therein for pump operation. | 03-27-2014 |
20140086774 | FLUID END OF A HIGH PRESSURE PLUNGER PUMP HAVING A GROOVE ADAPTED TO RECEIVE A SPRING RETAINER OF A SUCTION VALVE - A fluid end of a plunger pump has a plunger bore, a discharge bore, a suction bore, a valve cover bore, and a cross-bore intersection formed in portions of the fluid end. The plunger bore, discharge bore, valve cover bore, and suction bore each having an opening which opens into the cross-bore intersection. A valve cover bore axis extends through the opening of the plunger bore which opens into the cross-bore intersection. A groove is formed in the fluid end. The groove traverses a curvilinear path around an open space. Long axes of the discharge bore and suction bore extend into said open space The groove has a first section and a second section. The first section has a first end with a first opening and a second end. The second section has a first end and a second end with an opening. A gap is between said first ends of said first and second sections of said groove. A gap is between said second ends of said first and second sections of said groove. A spring retainer is in the groove. | 03-27-2014 |

20090250653 | Hydroxycarboxylic Acids and Salts - Compositions which inhibit corrosion and alter the physical properties of concrete (admixtures) are prepared from salt mixtures of hydroxycarboxylic acids, carboxylic acids, and nitric acid. The salt mixtures are prepared by neutralizing acid product mixtures from the oxidation of polyols using nitric acid and oxygen as the oxidizing agents. Nitric acid is removed from the hydroxycarboxylic acids by evaporation and diffusion dialysis. | 10-08-2009 |

20110162550 | FRANGIBLE, CERAMIC-METAL COMPOSITE OBJECTS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - In making frangible objects, including lead-free bullets and other projectiles, powdered metal primary and powdered ceramic secondary phases are mixed and densified at an elevated temperature such that the ceramic phase forms a brittle network. Any combination of metal and ceramic phases may be used to achieve desired chemical and physical properties. Any appropriate mixing, forming, and/or thermal processing methods and equipment may be used. Degrees of frangibility, strength, and toughness can be adjusted to suit a given application by precursor selection, degree of mixing, relative amounts of metal and ceramic phases, forming method, and thermal and mechanical processing parameters. | 07-07-2011 |

20150107480 | LEAD-FREE PROJECTILES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - To produce lead-free projectiles, iron and copper are melted at a predetermined ratio and rapidly quenched to yield a fine-grained microstructure with uniformly distributed copper and iron phases. The iron-copper alloy may be made into a powder through atomization, with the iron-copper molten metal being dispersed using a rapidly moving gas, liquid stream, or via mechanical dispersion. The step of forming the bullet may include uniaxially pressing and solid-state sintering of the atomized powder, including heating at a temperature below 1083° C., the melting point of copper. Alternatively, the step of shaping the mixture into a bullet-shaped form may include casting the molten mixture into a mold. A ceramic powder may be added to the copper-iron mixture prior to forming to produce a frangible projectile. The method may further include the step of adding another elemental powder to enhance strength, toughness, density, or hardness. | 04-23-2015 |
