Abstract: A device and method for producing energy from a dilute VOC gas stream. The device includes a concentrator that concentrates a dilute VOC gas stream into a concentrated VOC fuel. The concentrated VOC fuel is supplied to the fuel intake of an engine. The device is operated by adsorbing the dilute VOC onto an adsorbing media within a concentrator. The concentrator increases the concentration of VOC per unit volume. The adsorbed VOC are then desorbed to form a concentrated VOC fuel stream. The concentrated VOC fuel stream may be either liquefied VOC or a more concentrated VOC gas stream. The concentrated VOC fuel stream is then directed to an engine to produce kinetic or electrical energy.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing device comprising a body defining a cavity and a dispensing nozzle. A fluid discharging device is housed in the cavity. The fluid discharging device has a hollow casing defining a reservoir for containing a volume of fluid and a plunger slidingly engaged within the hollow casing. The plunger has a tubular portion which is arranged to extend from a first end of the hollow casing for co-operation with the dispensing nozzle. A biasing means is interposed between a second end of the hollow casing and an end wall of the cavity to bias the hollow casing towards the dispensing nozzle. A locking means holds the biasing means in a compressed state. Upon release of the locking means, the force stored in the biasing means is applied to the hollow casing thereby causing fluid to be ejected from the reservoir into the dispensing nozzle.

Abstract: In response to a file request from a host 3a, a server 7 retrieves the file from a content provider 2. A group comprising the host 3a is defined and the file sent to the group as a sequence of data packets A-G. Any further hosts 3b, 3c in the same locational area as host 3a that submit a request for the same file during the transmission of the data packet sequence are added to the group and receive the remaining packets in the sequence. At the end of the sequence, the server 7 re-transmits the data packet sequence to hosts 3b, 3c so that they receive the data packets dropped or missed in the original transmission. A host 3b that moves to another location during the transmission submits a NACK message, which is treated by a server 7′ associated with the second locational area as a file request.

Abstract: [Problem] With respect to powdery toner for forming a circuit described in Patent Document 1, it is complex to control a reaction system for coating a conductive material with a resin, and the condition of the resin coating significantly varies depending on the condition of the metal surface. With respect to metal toner for forming a conductive pattern described in Patent Document 2, a gaseous monomer is added while metal particles provided with a polymerization catalyst are dispersed in a gas phase to allow the polymerization to proceed on the surfaces of the particles. Therefore, large-scale facilities are required, and a reaction system is required to be highly controlled. 
[Solving Means] A process for producing resin-coated metal particles, the process includes the steps of coating surfaces of copper particles with silica; allowing a polymerizable group to adsorb onto the surfaces of the silica-coated copper particles by the use of a silane coupling agent; and coating the surfaces of the silica-coated copper particles with a polymeric resin by mixing the copper particles to which the polymerizable groups adsorb, a polymerizable monomer, a polymerization initiator, and a dispersant to polymerize the polymerizable monomer and the polymerizable groups.
