Abstract: A chemical impairment detection system adaptable for use in a vehicle. The impairment detection system includes an intake adapted to receive an air sample from a source and an alcohol sensor for detecting an alcohol level in the air sample. An integrated breath chamber channels the air sample from the intake to the alcohol sensor. Source evaluator means in the breath chamber measure one or more characteristics of the received air sample for validating the sample. The source evaluator means measures the air sample characteristics as the air sample flows through the breath chamber.

Abstract: A system and method for call time warning generation that includes a telephony device that includes a processor and a memory. During initiation of a call from the device to a destination party, the device determines if a current time is within a do-not-call time and provides a warning if the call is during the do-not-call time before the call is sent.

Abstract: An Internet server allows a cellular telephone to acquire a short messaging service (SMS) address for an Internet station. A user of the cellular telephone generates a preliminary message including an Internet e-mail address for the Internet station. The preliminary message is sent to the Internet server using the SMS. The Internet server generates a reply message having the Internet station e-mail address in a sender address field. The reply message, when sent to the cellular telephone, prompts the Internet gateway to supply the SMS address for the Internet station to the cellular telephone. Further, the Internet server processes an initial message from the cellular telephone to at least one Internet station. The initial message includes a communication for an Internet station, a first line of the communication including the Internet e-mail address for the Internet station.

Abstract: A method and composition for degrading foodstuff comprising spraying said odstuff with a physiological agent comprising a purgative, an emetic, an internal vesicant, an hallucinogen and a convulsant.

Abstract: Combustible compositions comprise a higher oxide of a metal having at least two valence states, such as tungsten and molybdenum, and a reducing metal in an amount to reduce the higher oxide to a lower electrically conductive oxide. The compositions on burning form an electrically conductive ash.

Abstract: 1. A thermal battery comprising a plurality of cells, said cells comprising a metallic positive electrode and a metallic negative electrode spaced by a normally inactive electrolyte that becomes electrically active when heated, a combustible composition disposed between said cells and in contact therewith for supplying heat to the electrolyte, means for igniting said composition, said composition comprising an intimate mixture of a finely divided metal oxide and a finely divided metal capable of exothermically reacting with said metal oxide to form an electrically conductive metal oxide reaction product, thereby forming an electrically conductive ash when burned and providing an electrical connection between said cells.

Abstract: 1. A method of inducing rapid failure in a shape that is under stress and is composed of cold rolled steel comprising applying against a surface of said cold rolled steel shape a mixture composed of lithium metal, lithium chloride and potassium chloride, rapidly heating that mixture as well as the surface of the steel shape in contact therewith sufficiently to melt the mixture but below the annealing temperature of the steel, and maintaining that temperature until the steel shape cracks.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of white ash tree, characterized by a strong, sturdy, upright branching habit which forms a compact, oval to globe-shaped head.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of flowering crabapple tree, characterized by its rapid growth habit of numerous, compact, sturdy, upright branches, branching freely at the base; attractive purplish red foliage appearing resistant to scab and mildew; and sparse but pleasing purplish red flowers and dark red to deep purple fruits.
