Abstract: A method is for recycling a roll of artificial turf. The method includes the steps of processing the roll of artificial turf to yield a mixture of a quantity of infill and a quantity of synthetic fibers, the quantity of infill having rubber, sand, and debris, passing the mixture through one or more screens to extract a percentage of the quantity of synthetic fibers from the mixture and yield a first remaining mixture, and substantially separating the first remaining mixture into pieces of rubber of a first volume, pieces of rubber of a second volume greater than the first volume, sand, debris, and the remaining percentage of the quantity of synthetic fibers.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and recording methane emissions from a source of methane. In some aspects, apparatus and methods are provided for converting the emitted methane to a different compound such as carbon dioxide.

Abstract: An emission enhanced sputtering magnetron apparatus includes an elongated rod or bar like cathode jacketed by a target material. An electron emission enhancement device positioned around the end of the elongated cathode creates a thin, highly uniform plasma sheath along the remainder of the cathode, thereby enhancing the sputtering rate along the entire length of the cathode target material. A low voltage, high current AC or DC magnet supply connected across the elongated cathode generates a plasma-confining magnetic field circumferentially around the entire length of the cathode. In an alternate embodiment, a single elongated tube or bar of the target material can be conformed into the cathode, the electron emission enhancing device, and a working end portion that can be formed into nearly any shape to conform to the shape of the surface being coated with the target material.
