Abstract: A single space parking meter assembly for retrofitting onto an existing coin vault assembly includes a number of parking meter components enclosed within a protective outer covering that is rotatably or slidably engageable with the coin vault assembly when a bottom surface of the protective outer covering is positioned against or adjacent to an upper surface of the coin vault assembly. A locking mechanism secures the protective outer covering to the coin vault assembly when the protective outer covering is engaged with the coin vault assembly.

Abstract: A parking meter may have a housing that is formed at least significantly of an impact resistant material. In particular, the impact resistant material may comprise one of a polycarbonate copolymer or polycarbonate blended resin, a nylon-based copolymer, or a nylon-based polymer that includes long glass fiber or Kevlar fiber. The housing encloses the parking meter components to provide protection for the parking meter components against an external environment and vandalism attacks.

The plurality of data inputs comprises one or more functional parameters of wound therapy, one or more modalities for wound therapy, and one or more factors impacting wound therapy. A unique identifier code is assigned by the monitoring device to specifically link the plurality of data inputs to each subject. Each of the plurality of data inputs is time stamped and based on the specific consent of the subjects, the data inputs are communicated to the user devices and the digital platform.

Abstract: Compounds that are inhibitors of retinoic acid inducible P450 (CYP26) enzymes. The compounds have retinoid activity, are resistant to CYP26-mediated catabolism, act as inhibitors of CYP26B1, and are used for treating diseases that are responsive to retinoids.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a thermal storage system for storing energy in a graphite thermal storage structure and a thermal shutter assembly configured to control the transmission of heat from the graphite thermal storage structure to a thermal energy receiver, such as a heat exchanger or material processing crucible. A thermal storage block, which may be made of graphite, may be isolated by insulation except for the thermal shutter assembly. Energy may be stored in the graphite thermal storage block by applying energy to the block to raise its temperature to maximum operation temperature. Stored energy may then be harvested in a controlled manner by a control system actuating the thermal shutter to expose the thermal energy receiver to thermal radiation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for injecting particulate material into a liquid metal bath wherein the liquid metal bath contains species to be oxidized, wherein the particulate material is carried to the liquid bath by means of a first gas stream. The solids injection rate is controlled such that the liquid bath temperature and/or the evolution of the liquid bath temperature is maintained within a pre-defined temperature range and the penetration depth of the first gas stream into the liquid bath is controlled by adjusting the flow of the first gas stream. At least one second gas stream is injected into the liquid, wherein the first and the second gas streams are an oxidizing gas, in particular oxygen, and the sum of the gas flows of the first and the second gas streams is determined based on the mass of the species to be oxidized and on the desired time for oxidizing the mass of the species.

Abstract: A pressure sensing clip (1) and a system including a bandage (19) for detecting and displaying the pressure applied by a (compression) bandage (19) to a human or animal body in which the pressure sensing clip (1) has an inner bandage penetrating arm (2) and an outer arm (3) hingedly attached to the inner arm (2) at a hinge (4) so that the outer arm (3) is movable between a hingedly closed position with respect to the inner arm (2) and a hingedly open position. The device can be operatively attached to an applied compression bandage, or it can be placed beneath or between the bandage during bandage application so that the bandage covers the sensing part of the device. In the latter application, the ability of the arms of the device to adapt an open configuration allows the bandage to be applied over the inner arm leaving the outer arm to close once the bandage has been applied. The device can receive, store and transmit data to a user.

Abstract: A method of reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) during system startup of a power generating system may include igniting a combustion turbine thereby generating exhaust, supplying the exhaust to a catalyst bed comprising a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, injecting an initial pulse of ammonia into the exhaust during a storage period such that the NOx reacts with the ammonia and is stored in the catalyst bed as ammonium nitrate (AN) during the storage period; and injecting a scheduled amount of ammonia into the exhaust during a transition period such that the stored AN is decomposed as temperatures increase and NOx is converted via standard and fast SCR reactions during the transition period.
