20080208780System and method for evaluating documents - A system for evaluating documents may include a memory location for storing one or more software modules, and a processor for executing the one or more software modules. The one or more software modules may be configured to perform a method. The method may include receiving a baseline record and a potentially matching record. The method may also include identifying baseline record data, and identifying potentially matching record data. The method may further include comparing the baseline record data with the potentially matching record data using matching criteria. The method may also include calculating a score for the potentially matching record based on rank values and weight factors associated with the matching criteria. The score may be a measure of similarity between the baseline record data and the potentially matching record data. The method may further include determining whether a match exists between the baseline record and the potentially matching record based on the score.08-28-2008
20090276669Method for processing and redirecting misdirected advanced shipping notices (ASNs) - A method is disclosed for correcting misdirected Advanced Shipping Notices (ASNs). In one embodiment, the method receives, from a product supplier, a first set of data associated with an ASN, where the first set of data includes an ASN receiving facility identifier. The method also determines a Purchase Order (PO) that is associated with the ASN, where the PO includes a second set of data. The method further compares one or more fields of the first set of data with one or more fields of the second set of data. In addition, the method determines if the ASN was misdirected based on the comparison, and corrects the ASN, when it is determined that the ASN was misdirected.11-05-2009

20090323244Controlled Convection Thermal Disconnector - A surge protection device employing a controlled convection thermal disconnector in which a surge protective component, such as a metal oxide varistor, and a thermally responsive device, such as a thermal cut-off, are placed in separate, cross-ventilated chambers. An internal vent is positioned such that it prevents line-of-sight between the surge protective component and a mechanized portion of the thermally responsive device, in order to protect the thermally responsive device from hot surge protective component emissions from the surge protective component. An output vent is formed between the thermally responsive device and the exterior atmosphere to promote forced convective heat transfer from the surge protective component to the thermally responsive device during a thermal runaway condition, with the expanding gases in the surge protective component chamber providing the transfer impetus.12-31-2009

20100326917WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM - A water treatment system including a reverse osmosis module and a control valve controlling communication between a water source and the module. A feedwater biased storage tank stores permeate and its pressurization by feedwater is controlled by a feedwater control valve. Flow of signal pressure to a signal pressure chamber of the feedwater control valve is restricted to reduce the rate at which a fluid generated force is applied. A check valve in parallel with the restriction allows relatively unrestricted flow out of the signal chamber when signal pressure is terminated. A tank pressurization control valve controls the operation of the feedwater control valve and controls the pressurization of a feedwater biasing chamber in the storage tank. Per-meate is stored in an accumulator for flushing the reverse osmosis module when the storage tank reaches a predetermined limit. Cleaning substances or additives can be introduced into the system12-30-2010
