Abstract: Waves are amplified by the gradual decrease of the depth, and when
the waves reach to a vertical wall 10 of a reef 2, the breaking waves are
generated by sudden decrease of the water depth. As the breaking waves
rush into the upper portion of the reef 2 and pass through the slant slits 14,
and wave energy are absorbed by the reef 2 and the seat water returns back to
the ocean through an opening 11. The sand brought into a reef 2 with the
waves are washed away by the return flow 11 so that the sand is not deposited
within the reef 2 and the space in the reef 2 is always clear. 
     The return flow promotes generation of the breaking waves. The breaking
waves are introduced into the slit, the beach erosion is prevented, and also the
calm sea area utilized for the marine leisure is created. The seawater in the
reef with sufficient air flows to the sea area behind the breakwater through the
paths 19. The sea water containing sufficient oxygen is supplied to the
bottom layer behind the breakwater without disturbing the surface so that the
oxygen is supplied to the seawater behind the breakwater.

Abstract: An automated consumer rewards/incentive program that accepts a registration of a
consumer. The registration entitles the consumer to receive the benefits of the incentive
program. To track the fulfillment of reward earning criteria established by member businesses,
the registration includes information indicative of a credit card of the consumer. The system
uses the credit card information to determine when member customers perform a transaction at a
member business. When a member customer performs a transaction at a member business using
the registered credit card, the system and method examines the credit card transactional
information to determine if the consumer fulfilled the requirements of the incentive program for
the member business. If the transactional information indicates that the consumer fulfilled the
criteria of the rewards program of the member business, the consumer is rewarded in accordance
with the benefits of the incentive program.

Abstract: A thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) for operation across a range of flow rates wherein during low pressure operation water enters the TVM (100) into chamber (157) around the circumference of the valve member (150) and cold valve seat (140) and hot water enters into chamber (158), the hot and cold water entering chamber (235) and becoming thoroughly mixed.
