Abstract: This invention provides both a method and an apparatus for hair removal using thread. Using the concept of rotational motion, this method improves upon the ancient art of threading by using a rotational mechanism that allows for threading with only one manipulation point instead of the conventional tour manipulation points as well as one or more threads to be used as a guide lo help identity and/or isolate hair to be removed. With these enhancements, a self- threading apparatus is invented that is more precise and less unwieldy than existing sclf- threading apparatuses. It minimizes the amount of manual labour and skills required in such a way that a person not skilled in the art can easily use this apparatus to thread with precision.

Abstract: A host computer supports a virtual guest system running thereon. The host system has a firewall that prevents it from communicating directly with the Internet, except with predetermined trusted sites. The virtual guest runs on a hypervisor, and the virtual guest comprises primarily a browser program that is allowed to contact the Internet freely via an Internet access connection that is completely separate from the host computer connection, such as a dedicated network termination point with its specific Internet IP address, or by tunneling through the host machine architecture to reach the Internet without exposing the host system. The virtual guest system is separated and completely isolated by an internal firewall from the host, and the guest cannot access any of the resources of the host computer, except that the guest can initiate cut, copy and paste operations that reach the host, and the guest can also request print of documents. The host can transfer files to and from a virtual data storage area accessible by the guest by manual operator action. No other transfer of data except these user initiated actions is permitted.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the production of microalgal biomass for species of the genus Haematococcus. Using this process the rate of biomass production and the biomass astaxanthin content are increased. An embodiment of the process includes inoculating a light-exposed bioreactor with Haematococcus culture; growing the microalgae in the light exposed bioreactor; subjecting a portion of the bioreactor to a magnetic field during the course of growth; and harvesting the contents of the bioreactor. Proper application of a magnetic field is critical to increase the production rate of astaxanthin, carotenoids, carbohydrate and chlorophyll in the biomass. The biomass can then be used whole, or fractionated to varying degrees of purity of these components, which can be used in nutritional, agricultural, or aquacultural applications.

IPC: D21F5/02
Filed: 2012-10-11
Abstract: The invention embodies the application of different combinations of the monitoring and data processing aspects as a means to develop an early warning chatter alarming system. Configuring an early warning chatter alarming system can be as simple as using no alarm settings to develop an alarming strategy from different trend conditions such as overall RMS, selected vibration frequencies, slope analysis, and wavelet analysis. A higher level of alarming is provided by using a time integrated approach to account for both intensity of the alarm variable and duration. Combining these different aspects with a predictive model incorporates process-operating conditions to enhance the alarming sensitivity for earlier detection and reduce false positives. Finally, combining the different alarming aspects with a rule-based decision making approach such as fuzzy logic allows alarming based on qualitative analysis of different data streams. For example, the combination of overall RMS, frequency band, and slope analysis trend data for fuzzification to develop if-then relationships for alarm conditions. Other examples for interpretation using a combination of trend data for alarming include multivariate regression, principle components, and cluster analysis.
