Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method and system for defining addresses for a networked switching system, controlling and enabling user control over the detonation of a plurality of explosive devices, and setting a plurality of charges located remotely down-hole beneath the earth's surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named ‘TRIUMPH’. This new strawberry plant named ‘TRIUMPH’ is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California, and is primarily characterized by its medium to large plant size, occasional fourth leaflet per tri-foliate, moderate to heavy petiole pubescence, medium to long fruiting trusses, and very attractive, medium-sized berry with good gloss, even red color and conical shape.

Abstract: A vertical mixing chamber with a forwardly projecting dock having a receiver in its top wall for receiving the spout of a pre-pressurized cartridge mounted from the container by a holder providing for reciprocation to engage a spout with the receiver and open a valve in the cartridge.

Abstract: A sports bottle top filter with a mounting flange, downwardly depending barrel, having a sleeve telescoped thereto and mounting on its lower extremity a filter holder configured to engage a tray mounted on the bottom of the barrel and a seal interposed between the holder and tray to seal against flow from the container through openings in the tray back into a filter held by the holder.

Abstract: Inner and outer containers, telescoped together so the outer container can receive unfiltered liquid to be forced through a filter in the inner container, the inner container including an isolation flapper to permit flow from the filter but block flow back to the filter.

Abstract: A personal bottle lid including a filter cup received in a filter holder, the cup and holder having apertures orbitable into alignment with one another for flow through the filter cup and orbitable out of alignment with one another to isolate the cup from the interior of the bottle.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named ‘MERIT’. This new strawberry plant named ‘MERIT’ is primarily adapted to the growing conditions of the central coast of California, and is primarily characterized by its small fruit size; orange red to red fruit color; uniformly shaped conical berries; and small sized plant.

Abstract: A networked electronic ordnance system and method for controlling a variety of pyrotechnic devices at different energy levels include a bus controller controlling at least one pyrotechnic device operating at a first energy level and a smart connector adapting at least one pyrotechnic device operating at a second energy level to control by the bus controller. The smart connector may also include a plurality of capacitors for firing the pyrotechnic device(s). In an embodiment, at least one pyrotechnic device operating at a first energy level and at least one pyrotechnic device operating at a second level include a logic device have a unique identifier. The smart connector may also include an energy reserve capacitor and an emitter follower circuit electrically connected to a logic device. Additionally, the smart connector may be connected to an initiator for firing at least one pyrotechnic device at the second energy level.
