Abstract: A theater (54) can be divided into a plurality of booths (64) by booth partition walls (68). By moving the booth partition walls (68), the plurality of booths (64) are combined to form a combined theater (66). When the theater (54) is divided in the plurality of booths (64), each booth (64) provides a booth picture in which images of visitors seated in the booth (64) are incorporated as characters. The combined theater (66) provides a combined-theater picture with the use of screens (70) of all the booths (64). Each booth (64) provides a default picture when a fault occurs in the function of generating a booth picture.

Abstract: Methods and devices for improving measurements of test meter, and in particular for detecting a presence of an electrochemical sensor or strip in the test meter and a start time of an electrochemical reaction, are provided. In one exemplary embodiment of an electrochemical system includes an electrochemical sensor, a test meter, and a circuit. The circuit is configured to form an electrical connection with the electrochemical sensor such that the circuit can detect three distinct voltage ranges. The voltage ranges can be indicative of an absence of the electrochemical sensor, a presence of the sensor that is devoid of a sample, and a presence of the sensor with a sample. Test meters, methods for detecting when a sample starts to fill an electrochemical sensor for establishing when a reaction starts, and circuits for use with electrochemical strips, are also provided.

IPC: G01N33/68

Abstract: One major problem in diagnosis methods presently available for anthrax is that these methods require several days to produce a result, are rendered unusable after antibiotic use, or are not quantifiable. The only existing treatment for anthrax requires administration soon after infection at a time when patients are exhibiting only mild flu-like symptoms. Thus, by the time a diagnosis is made a patient may be days beyond the time when treatment would be effective. The present invention reduces diagnosis time to as little as four hours providing same day identification of anthrax radically increasing the odds of delivering proper treatment and patient recovery. The rapid identification of anthrax edema factor activity exhibited by the invention is also amenable to in vivo screening protocols for the discovery and development of anthrax vaccines, anti-toxins and edema factor inhibitors. The invention isolates and concentrates edema factor and edema toxin from nearly any sample. By capitalizing on the adenylate cyclase activity of edema factor the invention amplifies output signals producing reliable detection of low concentrations of edema factor previously unachievable. The invention involves novel purification and detection techniques and substrates for rapid, reproducible, and quantitative measurements of anthrax edema factor, and other adenylate cyclases in biological samples.

Abstract: Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention divulguent l'utilisation d'agents tensioactifs à valeur d'équilibre hydrophile-lipophile basse comme agents de réduction de la dérive de produits pulvérisés et des procédés d'utilisation de tels agents. De tels agents tensioactifs réduisent généralement la quantité de fines générée pendant la pulvérisation. Au contraire, d'autres agents tensioactifs augmentent usuellement la quantité de fines quand ils sont ajoutés au réservoir d'aérosol car la tension réduite rend la rupture des gouttes d'aérosol plus facile. L'invention concerne une composition de pesticides à dérive réduite des produits pulvérisés, qui comprend un ou plusieurs ingrédients actifs et un ou plusieurs agents tensioactifs à valeur d'équilibre hydrophile-lipophile (HLB) basse. Dans des modes de réalisation, ledit un ou lesdits plusieurs principes actifs peuvent être des herbicides, des insecticides, des fongicides ou leurs combinaisons. De tels herbicides peuvent être des herbicides solubles dans l'eau ou d'autres herbicides tels que les 2,4-D-esters.

Title: Method for the controlling and feeding of a power plant and power plant
Inventor: PISKORZ TOMASZ TADEUSZ
IPC: F02C6/16
Filed: 2012-09-27
Abstract: The subject of the invention is a method for the controlling and feeding of power plants, in particular coal fired power plants comprising a steam turbine connected to a turbogenerator. The method consists in that in periods of low power consumption the power is transferred from the turbine shaft to a compressor and the air compressed therein is pumped by compressors to the tanks of a compressed air terminal until a pressure close to the pressure of steam fed to turbine blades is reached. When energy demand increases, compressed air from the tanks is fed through nozzles onto the turbine blades along with superheated steam produced in a boiler. The subject of the invention is also a system for collecting compressed air and feeding it to the turbine.

Abstract: A system and method for stopping a wind turbine in a battery charging circuit includes a step to terminate battery charging by opening a first switch between an electrical generator coupled to the wind turbine and the battery. A second switch between the electrical generator output terminals is then closed in order to short the generator, create a drag on the wind turbine and ultimately stop its rotation. The signal to open the first switch is generated by a battery charge monitor which when sensing a full charge on the battery will open the first switch and close the second switch. In another embodiment, there is a wind turbine auto stop signal generator connected to the battery monitor to close the second switch upon receipt of a signal indicating full battery charge from the battery monitor. In yet another embodiment there is a remotely located control computer networked to the battery monitor and the wind turbine auto stop signal generator. In still another embodiment the computer is able to receive data inputs from a variety of sources, such as weather services, to assess conditions dangerous to wind turbine operation.
