20090280465 | SYSTEM FOR THE NORMALIZATION OF SCHOOL PERFORMANCE STATISTICS - A method and system is provided to directly compare school districts and individual schools across state lines, and the geographic areas served by those schools (counties, municipalities, zip codes, neighborhoods) based on their reported standardized test scores despite the fact that each state has prepared their own version of standardized tests to benchmark the performance of their students. While standardized tests, such as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) test, can provide a meaningful comparison between any students and schools that were administered the same test, since the tests are different state-to-state a comparison on this basis is generally inaccurate and unreliable. To normalize the local standardized test results based on the differences in tests in different localities, an additional factor is employed as a modifier of the NCLB test results resulting in a normalized comparison. | 11-12-2009 |

The first door includes a first window through which the first container can be identified. The second door encloses the second pocket and includes a second window through which the second container can be identified. The apparatus also includes a valve coupled to the housing to control flow of chemical concentrate to at least one of the first container and the second container. | 10-13-2011 |
20120247593 | TWO EDUCTOR / FOUR-WAY SELECTOR VALVE ASSEMBLY - A selector valve assembly controlling the flow of different flow paths of fluid. The assembly includes a body member having a compartment with an end wall, an outlet passage in the end wall, two ports connected to the body member and communicating with the outlet passage in the end wall, and two passages communicating with the compartment. A rotatable member is sealable positioned in the compartment and has a side wall and an end wall. A first passageway extends a distance into the rotatable member from the end wall thereof and a second passageway extends through the side wall thereof and communicates with the first passageway. Rotation of the rotatable member selectively orients the second passageway with each of the two passages to cause liquid in the two passages to pass to the first and second passageways and subsequently to the outlet passage and at least one of the ports. | 10-04-2012 |
