IPC: G02B5/12
Filed: 2008-06-16
Abstract: Longitudinally adjacent plane mirrors (106~114) are pivotally interconnected in a columnar array (56) by non-stretching linkages (120) which constrain movement of the mirrors such that their normal vectors (115) remain parallel. Pivotable couplings (122, 124) in two mirrors permit movement of the mirrors with respect to mutually perpendicular axes (x, y) and prevent movement of the mirrors with respect to a third axis (z). Two actuators (117A, 117B) coupled to one of the pivotable couplings controllably move a selected mirror with respect to the mutually perpendicular axes (x, y). A first frame (116) couples the mirror columns together so that movement of the selected mirror moves all the mirrors in unison. The actuators controllably move the mirrors to orient the normal vectors such that the mirrors specularly reflect incident light in a preselected direction.

IPC: A61Q11/00
Filed: 2008-04-30
Abstract: A capsule comprising a core and a shell surrounding and enclosing the core, the shell comprising at least one first polymer having a first water solubility parameter, and at least one second polymer having a water solubility parameter higher than the first water solubility parameter, wherein the second polymer is crosslinked, and/or all of the at least one second polymer is present in an amount that is less than all of the at least one first polymer. Upon exposure to an aqueous medium, the first polymer begins to swell, and water begins to leak into the capsule. Also, the second polymer is attracted to the entering water. As the second polymer absorbs water and swells, the mean free space in the shell decreases and the tortuous pathway for materials crossing the boundary of the wall increases. As a result, leakage rates across the capsule wall decrease.

Title: Biofuels containing nitrile moieties
Inventor: IRVING NICHOLAS M
IPC: C07C253/00
Filed: 2008-05-23
Abstract: A novel method to prepare high-enthalpy biofuels has been developed based on a new chemical pattern which has never been used before in the synthesis of renewable fuels. These biofuels are based on natural oleaginous feedstock, rendering low viscosity liquids with broad liquid range and enthalpy levels much superior to those found in common biodiesel, meaning ethyl or methyl fatty esters. As in the case of biodiesel, these new biofuels contain zero sulfur, causing none of the major pollution associated with commercial diesel. High enthalpy biofuels are aliphatic nitrile compounds, containing a single nitrogen substituent, are chemically aprotic, even though their high degree of polarity is reflected in its high cetane index and solubility parameter. The present invention includes fuels associated with diesel, as well as other high-enthalpy fractions, which according to their boiling point, correspond to naphtha in the lower scale, and bunker in the upper scale.

Abstract: A pond receives a flow of contaminated water into the pond substantially tangential to a volume of clarified water which is stored in the pond and which is largely quiescent. The tangential inflow overcomes a large rotational inertia in the stored volume of clarified water and establishes a slow spiral flow path about the periphery of the pond and inwards to a central outlet. The clarified stored water is discharged ahead of the inflowing contaminated water increasing the residence time of the contaminated water in the pond and permitting contaminants to receive at least partial treatment, such as settling of sediment, in the pond.
