Abstract: An experimentation apparatus tests for heat produced by cavitation. The experimentation apparatus includes a heating chamber, a quantity of heavy water, a piezo-disk antenna, a target foil, a transmission line, a signal generator, a control unit, and at least one sensor. The heavy water is retained within the heating chamber and is agitated by the piezo-disk antenna to form cavitation bubbles. These cavitation bubbles impact the target foil in order to potentially produce deuteron combination events that could consequently produce heat. The signal generator sends an electrical signal along a transmission line to the piezo-disk antenna in order to dictate how the piezo-disk antenna vibrates within the heavy water. The control unit is used to manage the operational functionalities of the experimentation apparatus such as instructing the signal generator to adjust the frequency of the electrical signal. The at least one sensor collects experimentation data within the heating chamber.

Abstract: A display box for displaying a small product such as a small desk lamp is provided, and a method of making that display box is described and claimed. The box is substantially L-shaped, and includes a base portion, a back portion and a front portion. The front portion and a base portion can define cutouts or recesses which are and adapted to receive respective portions of the product to be displayed in and on the box.

Abstract: An audible tone is generated and attenuated over a wide frequency range, such as throughout the human audible range, the tone selectively being of short duration. During a tone period a digital representation of the sine of a requested tone frequency and amplitude is generated. During an attenuation period a digital representation of a moderately disturbed but continuous sine of decreasing amplitude is generated. During a decay period a digital representation of a continuous function which decays to zero from the zero approach point of the sine half wave is generated.

Abstract: A nasal lavage device having a reservoir configured to hold a quantity of lavage solution. A spout is coupled to the reservoir operates to conduct the lavage solution from the reservoir to a spout end. The lavage system comprises alone or in combination an interchangeable tip assembly and a check valve mechanism. The tip assembly detachably couples to the spout end and is configured to fit in contact with a user's nose so as to enable lavage solution to be conducted from the reservoir, through the spout, through the tip to the user's nose. The check valve is located between the reservoir and the tip and operable to inhibit fluid backflow from the tip to the reservoir.

Abstract: A method of designing the clocking circuitry of an integrated circuit chip. The load sinks are assigned to clock nets, each clock net having less then a maximum load. The first step is selecting a pair of clock nets for improvement. Next, a subset of the load sinks of the pair of clock nets are assigned to each clock net. Thereafter, the unassigned load sinks are assigned in all possible combinations to each of the pair of clock nets. A penalty function for each load sink assignment, and the assignment having the best penalty function is kept.
