20120119130 | DIAPHRAGM VALVE WITH IMPROVED SEALING PERFORMANCE AND LEAK DETECTION - Diaphragm valve with internal leak detection and improved external leak sealing performance. In diaphragm valves comprising diaphragms that have shields and backings, a rigid seal plate interposed between the shield and backing prevents peripheral regions of the shield from cold-flowing into the backing, despite the compression forces produced by tightening the fasteners that secure the diaphragm to the valve's bonnet assembly and body. An access port passing through the seal plate provides an interface between a void located between the shield and the backing and a breach detector. The breach detector is configured to detect pressure, volume, moisture or mass deviations in fluid disposed in the void, and the deviations indicate whether there's a rupture in the shield or the backing. The breach detector can be connected to an alarming device or signaling system to provide warnings and alerts to valve operators, process control panels or data communication networks. | 05-17-2012 |

20100100415 | COMMON TAG FORMAT FOR AD SERVING AND INFORMATION TRACKING IN INTERNET ADVERTISING - Systems, methods, and computer programs for implementing a common tag format in an Internet advertising and tracking system are provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an ad delivery system, a beacon system, and a management system. The ad delivery system serves ads to a browser visiting a publisher's web page. The beacon system collects usage data on the publisher's web site. The management system receives a service request, checks the request type of the service request, and then forwards the request to the ad delivery system, or to the beacon system, or to both, according to the request type. The service request is originated by a common tag embedded in the publisher's web page when loaded by a browser. The same common tag format is used for ad and tracking requests, thereby simplifying the management of the publisher's website and simplifying the migration process to change from just tracking a website to serving ads, merely by changing a parameter in the tag embedded in the publisher's page. | 04-22-2010 |
