Abstract: A reusable sponge or foam made of a polymer such as polyurethane is prepared containing a plurality of different enzymes or a cross-linked complex of the plurality of enzymes for detoxification of a diverse array of hazardous chemicals such as organophosphorus and/or organosulfur compounds. The plurality of enzymes include enzymes selected from acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, triesterase, pseudocholinesterase, choline oxidase, peroxidase, organophosphate hydrolase, phosphotriesterase, paraoxonase and laccase. A preferred mixture of enzymes contains organophosphate hydrolase and acetylcholinesterase or butyrylcholinesterase. The sponge or foam may additionally contain carbon, an enzyme reactivation compound and/or an indicator for measuring capacity for detoxification. The indicator can be fluorescent, chemiluminescent or visible chromogen or an electrode, and be encapsulated in a liposome or crushable packet. The sponge or foam may be color-coded to indicate specific chemical detoxified, or to indicate enzymatic concentration, activity and/or remaining shelf-life. A kit is formed containing the sponge or foam and the compound for enzyme reactivation.

Abstract: An apparatus for cooling an animal in a place such as a milking stall or feeding stall wherein an artificial climate is created. The artificial climate disclosed comprises wetting the animal with a water vapor and causing an air flow over the wetted area of the animal. Water vapor is sprayed and rubbed onto the back of the animal while shields protect areas to remain dry. During the process the animal is monitored for signs of thermal stress using a variety of methods and the wetting and cooling process are discontinued if the artificial climate adversely affects the animal.

Abstract: Poor full power engine performance in variable compression ratio engines resulting from small valve overlap periods, necessary for preventing piston-to-valve strike at high compression ratio, is prevented by phase shifting of the intake and exhaust valves with change of compression ratio. The crankshaft is rotatably mounted in eccentric main bearing supports for adjusting the position of the crankshaft rotational axis relative to the engine housing. A drive gear is mounted on the crankshaft and a first driven gear is mounted on a secondary shaft mounted in the engine housing. The secondary shaft drives the intake camshaft drive. The mesh direction between the drive gear and the first driven gear points generally away from the cylinder head of the engine. A second driven gear is mounted on a third shaft, the second driven gear being in mesh with a drive gear mounted on the crankshaft. The third shaft drives the exhaust camshaft drive. The crankshaft axis of rotation is located between the gear mesh of the second driven gear and the gear mesh of the third driven gear. At high compression ratio, valve overlap duration is short, providing good engine idling stability and preventing piston to valve strike. Rotating the eccentric main bearing supports and moving the crankshaft rotational axis away from the cylinder head of the engine lowers the compression ratio of the engine and adjusts the phase timing of the second and third driven gears relative to the crankshaft, increasing the valve overlap period of the intake and exhaust valves and providing significantly increased maximum engine power. The pitch diameter of the first and second driven gears is set to provide an optimum range of valve overlaps.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the creation of macroscopic materials and objects comprising aligned nanotube segments. The invention entails aligning single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) segments that are suspended in a fluid medium and then removing the aligned segments from suspension in a way that macroscopic, ordered assemblies of SWNT are formed. The invention is further directed to controlling the natural proclivity or nanotube segments to self assemble into or ordered structures by modifying the environment of the nanotubes and the history of that environment prior to and during the process. The materials and objects are "macroscopic" in that they are large enough to be seen without the aid of a microscope or of the dimensions of such objects. These macroscopic ordered SWNT materials and objects have the remarkable physical, electrical, and chemical properties that SWNT exhibit on the microscopic scale because they are comprised of nanotubes, each of which is aligned in the same direction and in contact with its nearest neighbors. An ordered assembly of closest SWNT also serves as a template for growth of more and larger ordered assemblies. An ordered assembly further serves as a foundation for post processing treatments that modify the assembly internally to specifically enhance selected material properties such as shear strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, toughness, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity.
