A method and system for distributing printed advertising. Printed advertising may be pre-printed on printable paper sheets and leaving a printable field free of printed advertising on each of the plurality of sheets. The partially-printed paper is distributed to a plurality of users. Users access a website to confirm acquisition of the partially-printed paper. The website records usage of the partially-printed paper and increases a credit account associated with the user based on usage of the partially-printed paper. In an alternate method, the printed advertisement is formatted for marginal printing on printable paper sheets by a user's printer when a registered user downloads printed information via the Internet. A website records printing of the advertising information formatted for marginal printing and increases a credit account associated with the user based on printing of the advertising information formatted for marginal printing.

The method further including displaying on a display information regarding productivity and utilization for the individual based on the direct tasks, the direct times and the number of units that are present in the database.

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die mounted over the carrier. An encapsulant is deposited over the carrier and semiconductor die. The carrier is removed. A first interconnect structure is formed over the encapsulant and a first surface of the die. A second interconnect structure is formed over the encapsulant and a second surface of the die. A first protective layer is formed over the first interconnect structure and second protective layer is formed over the second interconnect structure prior to forming the vias. A plurality of vias is formed through the second interconnect structure, encapsulant, and first interconnect structure. A first conductive layer is formed in the vias to electrically connect the first interconnect structure and second interconnect structure. An insulating layer is formed over the first interconnect structure and second interconnect structure and into the vias. A discrete semiconductor component can be mounted to the first interconnect structure.

Each of the plurality of process plants includes internet-enabled field devices, internet-enabled field device interfaces, and/or internet-enabled data concentration nodes that send information to and receive information from the data processing facility via the Internet.

A semiconductor wafer regenerating system is capable of easily and efficiently removing fabricating patterns formed on a semiconductor wafer to enable reuse of the semiconductor wafer. The system, which removes patterns of the semiconductor wafer in a dry manner by using blasting grit, includes a mesh conveyor, a grit blaster, a swinging element, a collecting element, a separating element, and a dust collector. The mesh conveyor transports the semiconductor wafer so that the patterns face upward. The grit blaster is installed above the mesh conveyor and has at least one blasting nozzle for blasting grits toward the semiconductor wafer to remove the patterns from the semiconductor wafer. The swinging element swings the blasting nozzle in a plane perpendicular to a transporting path of the semiconductor wafer along the mesh conveyor. The collecting element underneath the mesh conveyor collects pulverulent bodies including grits, chips, and dusts falling from the mesh conveyor. The separating element is connected to the collecting element to separate the grits and chips from the dusts. The dust collector is connected to the separating element to collect the dusts separated by the separating element.

A system, method, and apparatus for desalinating water, such as seawater. The system, method, and/or apparatus includes an electrodialysis cell that can separate monovalent ionic species from multivalent ionic species, so they may be separately treated. Each separate treatment may include precipitation of salt via the use of an organic solvent, followed by processing of precipitated salts and membrane treatment of water to remove solvent and remaining salts.

A rotary machine type shock wave reactor suitable for thermal cracking of hydrocarbon-containing materials includes a casing, a rotor whose periphery contains an axial-flow blade cascade, and a directing rim, provided with at least two stationary vane cascades, adjoining an axial-flow rotor cascade, wherein the casing substantially encloses the periphery of the rotor and the directing rim. The cascades are configured to direct feedstock containing process stream to repeatedly pass the cascades in a helical trajectory while propagating within the duct between the inlet and exit and to generate stationary shock-waves to heat the feedstock. The axial-flow rotor cascade is configured to provide kinetic energy and add velocity to feedstock containing process stream, and the stationary vanes located downstream the rotor cascade are configured to reduce the velocity of the stream and convert kinetic energy into heat. The reactor may also process carbohydrate- and glyceride-based feedstock, and gaseous biomass matter.

The present invention relates to a commercially viable process for in vitro mass culture of Jatropha curcas. The process for in vitro mass culture of Jatropha curcas is simple, faster, and suitable for production of disease-free root tubers of uniform quality and employs media with a reduced concentration of phytohormones.

A process for manufacturing milk chocolate products containing a higher than normal water content by preparing a dark chocolate containing up to 30% by weight of water, adding a milk powder suspension optionally together with seed crystals of cocoa butter or cocoa butter equivalent, and mixing under low shear. The invention also relates to high water content milk chocolate products, methods of preparing a chocolate coated ice cream article with such products and to the resulting chocolate coated ice cream articles.

Biomass is pretreated using an organic solvent solution under alkaline conditions in the presence of one or more alkylamine and optionally one or more additional nucleophile to fragment and extract lignin. Pretreated biomass is further hydrolyzed with a saccharification enzyme consortium. Fermentable sugars released by saccharification may be utilized for the production of target chemicals by fermentation.
