Abstract: A method for determining the phytolithic organic carbon yield of a plant type at a location or region comprising: a) taking a sample of a plant type growing in the location or region; b) quantifying phytolithic organic carbon in the sample; c) quantifying a total biomass of the plant type growing at the location or region; and d) determining a total amount of phytolithic organic carbon for the total biomass of the plant type at the location or region.

Abstract: A method of providing data relating to carbon sequestration, including the steps of: a) taking a soil sample at a selected location where a plant type has grown or is growing; b) isolating phytoliths from the sample; c) quantifying phytolithic organic carbon in the sample from the plant type to provide data; and d) providing a projection for the data to support a carbon credit claim for the plant type growing at the location.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring the reduced inorganic sulfur content of a sample. The apparatus has a reaction chamber (12) and means (14) for introducing a reducing agent that can selectively convert the reduced inorganic sulfur of a sample in the reaction chamber (12) to hydrogen sulfide. The reducing agent can be chromous chloride. The apparatus also includes means for measuring the amount of hydrogen sulfide evolved by reaction of the reducing agent with the sample and a detector for detecting when evolution of the hydrogen sulfide has reduced or ceased. The term “reduced inorganic sulfur” refers to sulfur in a form that can undergo oxidation and includes mineral sulphides and elemental sulfur.

Abstract: A machine for positioning a tooling plate with an integrated linear actuator, a complete, integrated slide assembly which uses standard linear actuators, an integrated bearing, shafting and tooling plate system that requires no alignment or adjustments during installation and normal use, an anodized bearing body and tooling plate with multiple drilled and tapped and counter sunk through hole mounting features with dowel slip fit holes for precision mounting and alignment, a slide body with mounting features that enable to the unit to be mounted on any of four precision machined surfaces allowing for maximum flexibility for harnessing runs to the integrated drive/controller mounting system, a plane bearing and cantilevered shaft system that requires no lubrication or maintenance, an embedded proximity switch for homing with a machined cable run protecting the cable during assembly and use.
