Title: The second law energy system
Inventor: BAK SIJO
IPC: F03B17/00
Filed: 2009-02-16
Abstract: The purpose of the Second Law Energy System (Fig 2) is to extract gravity and acceleration forces from steadily falling water in a series of containers. The water is pumped up to the water container located at the top of the system by the water pumps.  One by one, each water container is fully loaded with water each second and drags down the outer surface of the large cylinder causing it to rotate. This said cylinder is attached with a shaft to the pivot of the cylinder on a fixed horizontal axis.  The shaft is mounted on the tower structure with a pair of bearings which connect to the electric generator. This system is comprised of the steel cable wires that work differently from a conventional turbine system. The length of said cable wires shall be longer than two times the length of the circumference of the outer surface of the cylinder.  The said cables wires are attached to the water containers using U-shaped clamps or cramping device and hang on the top of the main cylinder, moving together without slipping and pulling down the said main cylinder and the shaft causes it to rotate by the force of gravity on the water in the water containers. This new concept is different from conventional hydro turbines and old mill type turbines. The invention of the Second Law Energy System comprises cable wires to hold water for an extended amount of time in the water containers in order to extract kinetic energy from the falling water in the water containers, allowing the full force of gravity to act on it without touching the main cylinder.

Title: Apparatus and method for measuring the fluorescence of large multi-cellular organisms
Inventor: JOHNSON PAUL E
IPC: G01N1/00
Filed: 2007-11-13
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring the fluorescence of large multi-cellular organisms in a sample (102, 804) of liquid includes a pumping mechanism, a fluorescence measuring device (104), a method of analyzing (100, 300, 508) the measurements, and optionally, a sorting mechanism (502). The pumping mechanism transfers large multi-cellular organisms from a reservoir (402, 836) through a fluorescence-measuring device (104) causing minimum physical damage and/or stress. The pressure differential driving the organisms from a sample container/reservoir through the measuring device can be derived from gravity (800), air pressure (412), or liquid pressure, or some combination of the three. The fluorescence can be measured in a cytometer using a light detector or imager (106). Generally the detection element will include a filter (114), isolating the wavelength of fluorescent emission. The illumination may be provided by a laser (112) or by an LED (302), combined with the use of dichroic mirrors to allow multiple wavelength simultaneous illumination. In addition, an LED will typically be used with a filter to isolate the optimum excitation wavelength while blocking scattered/reflected LED light from the detection element (but not the fluorescence).
