Abstract: Fuel Saving Vehicle (FSV) is designed to eliminate or minimize fuel consumption of different kinds of vehicle. This idea can also be applicable to industrial plants or residential areas where it applies.   Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Alternator combination is called the generator which produces electricity. Generators are commonly used at residential areas, small offices, and small establishments. Small generators are used as a substitute power if power interruption happens.   Small generator has an important role in Fuel Saving Vehicle (FSV) principle.  It generates electricity used to charged batteries and to back up power to a vehicle.   Electric cars will last to a certain period of time and needs to be charged with an electric outlet if batteries are discharged. Fuel Saving Vehicle (FSV) is similar to it with an enhance feature. The unique feature of Fuel Saving Vehicle (FSV) is that the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not the primary power of the vehicle. The role of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and the alternator is to charge the batteries alternately and to obtain continues power when vehicle is running. ICE is also coupled with compressor for the air conditioning system.   Comparing to Hybrid vehicle, Fuel Saving Vehicle (FSV) is more economical and the features are can easily built. Hybrid vehicle is still dependent on Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to run a vehicle; While Fuel Saving Vehicle (FSV) is 100% dependent on electricity to accelerate a vehicle.

Filed: 2008-09-10
Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and devices for detection of hospital acquired infections. Disclosed methods may be utilized for continuous in vivo monitoring of a potential infection site or for periodic in vitro monitoring of tissue or fluid from a patient and may be utilized to alert patients and/or health care providers to the presence of a pathogen at an early stage of infection.  Disclosed methods utilize fluorophore pairs that optically interact with one another according to Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) or bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) mechanism. One member of the pair or a cofactor that interacts with an enzyme to form a member of the pair may be tethered to a device by a substrate that is specific for an enzyme expressed by a targeted pathogen. Upon interaction of the enzyme with the substrate, an optically detectable signal may be altered or initiated, detection of which may then provide information as to the existence of the pathogen at the site.

Filed: 2010-07-30
Abstract: A working tool adapted for use with an oscillating tool includes a hole defining a longitudinal axis and has a plurality of bulges which depart from the longitudinal axis by a radial distance. Each of the bulges has two flanks that extend inwardly towards the longitudinal axis and which are connected with each other at a recess portion that is formed between every adjacent two of the bulges. An arc portion of one of the bulges has a length which is unequal to a length of an arc portion of the other one of the bulges. By arranging bulges with unequal arc lengths in the hole of the working tool, the working tool can be mounted to different oscillating tools at multiple angles and, by decreasing the number of the bulges, contact between the bulges and an output shaft of the oscillating tool reduces wear and increases the service life of the output shaft.
