Abstract: Powered and non-powered kits for the treatment of fluid in boiler and cooling systems, both open and closed recirculating are disclosed. The kits generally include a fluid container, a fluid connector configured to engage the fluid container, a hose configured for fluid communication with the fluid connector, a port, a fluid container suspension means, and a hose end support member. The fluid container is configured to enclose chemical agents and/or solutions. The port may be formed along the fluid container and be configured to receive the fluid connector. The hose end support member may support at least one portion of the hose at a desired height above the standing fluid to be treated. In embodiments, a metering pump is included with the kits, the metering pump configured to cause a predetermined amount of the chemical agents or solutions to be dispersed from the fluid container.

Abstract: A processor includes a time counter and issuing instruction and executing instruction at a future time which is based on the time counter. The execution times are based on fixed latency times of instructions with exception of the load instruction which is based on the data cache hit latency time. A data cache miss causes the load instruction to fetch data from the level 2 cache wherein a time tracker unit adjusts the level 2 cache latency time based on a counter.

Abstract: The device for visualizing the interior of a patient's mouth, includes a camera for taking an optical imprint of organs arranged in the mouth. The device includes augmented reality glasses having an optical glass through which a user of the glasses can see the inside of the mouth, and a visualization camera taking an image of what the user sees through the optical glass. First images corresponding to those taken by the visualization camera are correlated with second images corresponding to those taken by the camera for taking an optical imprint, whereby the second images can be projected onto the optical glass.

Abstract: Various examples of methods, systems, apparatus and devices are provided for accurately tracking of workers and assets. Aspects of the present disclosure include tracking the location and other information for workers and assets in locations where knowledge about such workers and assets is desirable. The disclosed worker and/or asset tracking is particularly suitable for locations where the structural components are added, modified or moved during a monitoring period. Such structural components can block all or part of GPS, WiFi and RFID signals, or where it may be otherwise impractical to utilize other forms of signal generation.

Abstract: Systems for increasing the power productivity of two bladed teetering hinge, yaw controlled wind turbines by varying rotor shaft restraining torque and yaw angle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing operational efficiency of wind turbines, especially offshore wind turbines. The invention discloses systems and methods for reducing the torque needed to rotate a rotor shaft axis with respect to the wind direction. Systems and methods for controlling the rotational speed of the rotor shaft axis are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to two-bladed turbine nacelles and platforms integrated into the nacelle structure. In certain embodiments, the invention provides an assembly encompassing a nacelle that houses a two-bladed turbine and a hoisting platform. The hoisting platform is integrated into the structure of the nacelle so as to form the roof of the nacelle.

Abstract: In a belt with a belt strap (4) and a buckle (1) attached to an end of the belt strap (4), the belt strap (4) on one end carries a securing element (5) to which the buckle (1) is detachably connected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for blending liquids and granular materials in which an impeller assembly is mounted for rotation within a housing at a lower end of a particles inlet and circumferentially spaced impeller vanes in outer concentric relation to a series of expeller vanes surrounding the particles inlet and which together propel the solid particles outwardly to intermix with the liquid introduced into the annulus surrounding the impeller assembly, the annulus being tapered or reduced in area in a direction counter to the direction of slurry flow in order to boost the pressure of the slurry discharged through an outlet port.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hand grenade comprising a main body (10), an actuator (14) releasably fixed to the main body (10), an actuator-ejection mechanism, and a charge to be released, which includes an automatic-identification device (34) embedded in the actuator. The invention further relates to a grenade actuator of the EOT-type (Espoleta de Ogiva de Tempo, time fuse point), which comprises an automatic-identification device (34) embedded therein. The present invention can also materialize in the form of a method of manufacturing a hand-grenade actuator, according to which it is provided a housing for an automatic-identification device in the actuator body. Indeed, the method of manufacturing the actuator further includes providing said housing with a cylindrical shape and then inserting an equally cylindrical automatic-identification device into said housing.

Abstract: A quick-action tensioning clip of a wound retractor, with at least one braceable seat for at least one holding arm and/or for a joint ball of a holding arm, is made available which can be operated safely, easily and quickly and which requires only low operating forces and at the same time safely and permanently generates high clamping forces, this being achieved by the fact that, in order to generate the tensioning force, it is equipped with a toggle catch composed of two joint levers which are connected to each other via a connecting joint and which, at their free ends, are articulated via attachment joints on component parts of the quick-action tensioning clip that can be mechanically moved away from or towards one another.
