Abstract: A device for purifying water by solar power is described. The device has bottom and top sections, each being half-cylinders contacting one another along a flat edge to provide an elongated cylinder. The bottom section has an evacuated area with an optically transparent bottom surface that light can pass through to heat a liquid tray in the top section. A side-gutter directs water that condenses on an interior surface of the top section to an output port for collection.

Abstract: Systems and methods to detect if the viewer of an advertisement is constantly watching the advertisement till it finished. The invention utilizes the principle that the only foolproof way to make sure that user has watched an advertisement fully is by asking him/her to perform some simple, user-experience-friendly but unpredictable actions while the content is being played without distracting the user away from the content. It can be random actions, or fixed actions occurring at a random place or both. The interval can be fixed or random too. According to the user response, the further actions can be customized, like pausing or replaying the advertisement if the user response was wrong. Also the complete user response data can be captured and analyzed.

Abstract: A behavior sets system facilitates the dynamic generation of field and rule behavior sets for an insurance policy and claims processing computer system. The behavior sets system includes various modules and graphical user interfaces that provide a streamlined mechanism for creating new behavior sets of field and rule behaviors for the insurance processing architecture. The behavior sets system may include various levels of usability that distinguish between an advanced user of the behavior sets system and basic user that uses the generated field and rule behavior sets. The behavior sets system may also include graphical user interfaces directed to adding, editing, removing, or maintaining the behavior of fields and rules for the insurance policy and claims processing computer system.

Abstract: This presented invention describes and relates to a o system including a plurality of parts and features comprising the inventive new system allowing the user to creatively and accurately operate a router to be able to cut several different cuts and create new designs on a piece of wood. This inventive new system includes a clampable on board adjustable miter gauge including an elongated slotted plate device suitably attached to a protractor device on the miter gauge, which guide means may be swung to allow angular adjustments to the right or left through an arcuate slot through which a threaded attachable detachable attachment passes through and into a suitable opening in said slotted plate of miter gauge thus allowing the setting of angles and tightening and loosening for adjustment.

Abstract: An underwater pool surface cleaning apparatus is provided comprising a suction head, a driving component spaced apart from the suction head, the driving component being arranged to move the apparatus underwater along a surface, and a first flexible hose to connect the suction head and the driving component together.
