Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for processing ultramafic material. The system may comprise a reactor for accelerating weathering of said ultramafic material. The reactor may comprise one or more chambers comprising one or more microbes, biological medicators, or enzymatic accelerants to facilitate the weathering of the ultramafic material.

Abstract: A light source with multiple parallel beams is combined with a pair of opposing mirrors mounted on a rotating fixture and with a fixed aperture to produce a single output beam. Through the motion of the rotating fixture, the pair of mirrors shifts the location of the output of each input beam passing through the device so as to sequentially channel each beam into the optical path defined by the aperture. Thus, the input source corresponding to the output beam may be quickly switched by rotating the pair of mirrors to the position that produces the appropriate shift of the beam selected from the light source. In another embodiment of the invention, the pair of opposing mirrors is replaced by a transparent block similarly mounted on a rotating fixture.

Abstract: An optical mount, including a first plate, a second plate, an adjustment screw, and a locking screw. The second plate may include an adjustment bore having an adjustment bore thread and a slit separating a second plate flange from a second plate body and extends into the adjustment bore. The adjustment screw may engage the first plate for adjusting relative position of the first plate in relation to second plate. The locking screw may engage the second plate flange and the second plate body to press at least a portion of the adjustment bore thread into the adjustment screw thread for securing the adjustment screw. An attachment bore may be included for receiving an attachment. A method for using the optical mount is also disclosed.
