Abstract: A system and method for implementing an electronic data entry and processing system useful to influence and advance the practices of community police officers (CPOs) engaged in community policing. The system may be implemented on a standalone personal computer or on a hand-held computer unit, and it may be used in standalone mode or as part of a system. The system includes a variety of tools, enacted from a main menu screen, that are utilized by the CPO in implementing the community policing philosophy. Each of the tools are logically grouped according to a function practiced by the CPO, such as documentation; investigation; resources; or miscellaneous use. The tools are cross-linked with one another at various points to logically interrelate the tools as they would be used by the CPO in practice.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine system including an engine, timer/distributor device and a compliant electromagnetic device is disclosed. The engine may have one or more cylinders and includes an anode positioned above a cathodic piston whereby the anode delivers high intense short bursts of electrical energy through the combustion chamber and ignites fuel delivered by an injector. Each engine cylinder is connected to a distributor which sequences and delivers the high energy impulses from the compliant electromagnetic device to an individual cylinder when the piston is at or near top dead center. The compliant electromagnetic device includes an inductor, a power source and a field of material, i.e., the air/fuel mixture within the combustion chamber. The summed equivalence of the electromagnetic fields within the combustion chamber at any instant in time controls the intensity of the pulses and the quantity of pulses that are discharged by the anode.

Abstract: A controlled temperature process for stabilizing aloe vera gel and the resulting gel which exhibits improved shelf life. The process including the steps of heating the aloe vera gel to a temperature in the range of from about 35.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C., admixing therewith stabilizing ingredients, cooling the admixed gel to ambient temperature in less than an hour.

Abstract: A pipe of fiber reinforced thermoplastic material is provided wherein the wall consists of at least one layer having two coaxial cylindrical shells between which a corrugated layer is disposed. The outwardly facing wave peaks of the corrugated layer are anchored to the inside of the outer shell and the inwardly facing wave peaks are anchored to the outside of the inner shell. The spaces between the corrugated layer and the outer layer and inner shell, respectively, are filled with a suitable material, preferably foam plastic material.
