Abstract: A system for moving cargo is disclosed. The system includes a cart, which, in turn, includes a body with a battery compartment and a platform. The cart also includes wheels and a motor for driving the wheels. A battery is housed in the battery compartment for powering the motor. The system also includes a cargo carrier mounted on the platform. The cargo carrier includes a base, two side walls, and two end walls. At least one end wall or side wall is adapted to be moved between different positions to change the shape and/or size of the compartment.

Abstract: Methods for electrochemically oxidizing aromatic aldehydes, such as furfural and furfural derivatives, to carboxylic acids in acidic solutions are provided. Also provided are electrochemical cells for carrying out the oxidation reactions. The electrochemical oxidations may be conducted in aqueous media at ambient pressure and mild temperatures.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for a magnetically and releaseably attachable trigger for an instrument is provided. Additionally, the trigger provides for an increased sensitivity of sound by being in direct physical contact with the surface on which it is attached.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments include an agile non-contact biometric sensor apparatus, having a sensor that monitors a field of view for a user, an imaging system that captures one or more pieces of biometric information from the user, and a pan-tilt device that orients the imaging system to a location of the user in the field of view detected by the sensor.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting gamma ray (GR) radiation having a plurality of detector cells arranged in an array is disclosed. Each cell includes a housing having an aperture, the housing comprising a GR absorbing material, and a GR detector disposed within the housing such that external gamma rays are received at the GR detector via the aperture. The apertures of each cell are aligned.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and machine-readable medium for evaluating an earth formation having a fluid mixture including oil and water therein. The earth formation is irradiated with a source and radiation resulting from interaction of the radiation with nuclei is measured at at least two detectors. A fluid zone parameter (FZP) indicative of oil saturation is determined and values of the FZP are established for at least two different values of oil saturation. A value of the oil saturation is estimated using the determined value of the FZP and established values of the FZP. The process may be repeated at a plurality of depths and the determined value of the FZP is displayed at the plurality of depths.
