Abstract: A portable, sustainable, and efficient system and apparatus for breaking down processed solid plastic waste and other polymer-based feedstock into fuel oil, sustainable energy, carbon char, and other useful products. With minor modifications, biomass can also be treated. Distributed microwave heating sources and mechanical mixing effectively mix heat in a highly insulated reactor that protects the microwave components, makes fast pyrolysis possible, and thereby enables scaling down to compact and highly portable systems. Products include diesel, gasoline, propane, butane, and char. Product materials are distributed using tight temperature control and mechanical routing.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device may receive carbon emissions acquisition data indicative of an allowance of carbon emissions. The computing device may generate token data based on the received carbon emissions acquisition data, wherein the token data is associated with a portion of the allowance of carbon emissions and includes a use indicator and an ownership indicator. The computing device may store the token data to a distributed transaction ledger, wherein a redemption transaction that updates the distributed transaction ledger is configured to alter the use indicator of the token data.

Abstract: A virtual environment program, method and system are provided that allow avatars representing users to interact in different ways within the virtual environment. A medical consultation environment is provided. A simulated environment with different virtual rooms, and different interactive functionality associated with different rooms is provided. Additionally, verbal communications between participants are determined based on physical separation of avatars and other location information.

Abstract: A mower deck includes a blower to lift blades of grass or vegetation for cutting. The blower may be mounted above and to the rear of the mower deck, and may rotate on a vertical axis spaced from the axes of the cutter blades. A passage or duct extends from the cutting chambers under the mower deck to the blower. Cutter blades may be used having essentially flat or planar surfaces to reduce noise, or the mower deck may be used with conventional blades. The mower deck may be configured with several alternative discharge modes, so that clippings and debris may be collected in a container, or may be dispersed to the rear or side of the mower.

Abstract: A method and apparatus include processing for providing reliable internetworking services that begins by determining whether identified internetworking resources and identified intranetworking resources provide a reliable intranetworking service. For example, the internetworking service may be a communication, data transfer, file share, etc., between two or more users affiliated with different networks. The identified intranetworking resources are those links within each network to support the communication (i.e., the internetworking service) and the identified internetworking resources are those that couple the networks. The processing continues by determining whether the reliable internetworking service cannot be provided due to a failure of one of the identified intranetworking resource. When this occurs, the identified internetworking resources that are associated with the failed intranetworking resource are flagged.

Abstract: A dart football game with a singular, circuit dart board, in which the object is to pierce the center area of the said board, whereas a plurality of darts piercing a donut shaped area, called the completion zone, directly surrounding the centermost area, add to equal at least one point, although any single dart that pierces said centermost area, each score a point; additionally said game has four other circular, instant point areas, other than said centermost area, barely within said board parameters, located at twelve, three, six, and nine O'clock, all being open targets at to which each, individual player throws a multitude of at least eight(8) or more darts at a time, for four rounds or quarters, whereby each quarter or round has a player total as the game progresses, as said game can be played by one to numerous people.
