Abstract: A method for monitoring fuel quality of a power system used in transport is provided. The method includes a controller of the power system determining that the prime mover is actively running. The method also includes the controller monitoring an output of a water-in-fuel (WIF) sensor configured to measure an amount of water accumulated in a water collection reservoir of a fuel/water separator that separates water from fuel passing there through. Also, the method includes the controller determining an amount of fuel passing through the fuel/water separator. Further, the method includes the controller calculating a fuel quality score of the fuel based on the output of the WIF sensor and the amount of fuel having passed through the fuel/water separator. The method further includes the controller triggering different alerts based on the calculated fuel quality score.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for managing mail/bills from a central online location. Mail/bills are sent/forwarded to the central online location via electronically or traditional mailing service. Once the mail are received, they are sorted, and either discarded or stored in a database for further processing. The central online location further consolidates both electronic and paper formatted bills into an easily manageable and accessible manner. The subscriber can view the bills online and take appropriate action. Further, the subscriber saves time and money in not having to review unimportant mail because they are discarded in accordance with the subscriber's instructions.

Abstract: An improved security document which protects documents from copying on color copying machines. The document has cancellation terms and background pattern in two tones. If the copier is adjusted to obscure the cancellation term on reproduced copies at one tone, the cancellation at the other tone will appear. In an alternative embodiment, the density of the cancellation term and the background pattern vary across the face of the document. In this case, the cancellation term will appear somewhere on the copy no matter what copier adjustments are made.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of detecting, analyzing, quantifying or locating a protein, antibody, antigen, hapten, hormone, metabolite, nucleic acid or steroid, in which the substance of interest is linked to a chemi-luminescent or bio-luminescent label. A luminescent reaction is then triggered by the addition of an oxidizing agent or a catalyst and the emitted light is observed in order to provide information about the substance. The invention employs a luminescent reagent which consists of antibodies labelled with a luminescent material such as luminol. The luminescent reagent can be used to quantify antigens in an immunological assay. The luminescent labelled antibodies selectively bind to the antigens and the amount of light emitted in a luminescent reaction gives an indication of the amount of antigens present. A luminescent labelled substance can also be reacted with an antibody or antigen labelled with a fluorescent material in order to carry out a homogeneous assay.
