Abstract: The subject invention provides methods for producing homogenous organic base fertilizer for plant nutrition and soil fertility. Also provided by the subject invention are value added fertilizer products for plant nutrition and soil fertility and concentrated liquid formulations/nutrient supplements that provide the value added nutrients to fertilizer products. Methods according to the invention involve the application of concentrated liquid(s) and/or dry formulation(s) comprising a mixture of one or more plant nutrient(s), one or more additional organic compound(s), one or more penetrate(s), and one or more optional supplement(s) into one or more organic base material(s). These organic base materials include, and are not limited to, biosolids, activated sludge, municipal compost, animal manures (e.g., horse, cow, chicken, pig, and sheep), and composted organic byproducts.

Abstract: A machine tool comprises a base with an upstanding column, a vertical spindle axis tool driving unit symmetrically located and vertically movable on the front of the column, a frontwards oriented horizontal spindle axis tool driving unit symmetrically located and vertically movable extending through the column, and a pair of guiding rails to extend vertically thereon and horizontally spaced apart from each other for guiding the upward and downward movement of the tool driving units. Symmetrically disposed counterbalance weights for both tool driving units are located within the column. Independent leadscrew driving means provide vertical upward and downward movement of the tool driving units.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the voltage applied to an induction motor is taught. Load sensing is incorporated by monitoring the current through the motor, and combining that signal with a signal derived from the AC line voltage and AC voltage across the motor. This composite signal is averaged, with the resulting averaged signal being utilized to control a device for modulating voltage applied to the motor such as a phase control integrated circuit device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the voltage applied to a load is taught. The method includes receiving an AC line voltage, generating an operating AC voltage from the AC line voltage and applying this operating AC voltage across the load. A measured signal which is a function of the magnitude of the operating AC voltage is generated, and then averaged to generate an average signal representative of the average value of the measured signal. The operating AC voltage is continually readjusted in response to changes in the average signal. The apparatus implementing this method includes terminal means for receiving an AC line voltage, means for generating an operating AC voltage from the AC line voltage, connector means for applying the operating AC voltage across the load, and voltage detection means for generating a measured signal which is a function of the magnitude of said operating AC voltage.
