Abstract: Systems and methods inhibit locomotion of a human or animal target in a denial zone. Acquiring the target includes forming a prediction of at least two locations of impact on the target and testing the prediction according to criteria that may include whether the locations are within a boundary corresponding to the target and whether the locations are separated by a minimum physical and/or electrical distance.

Abstract: A method is performed by an electronic weapon system. The electronic weapon system is aimed in a first direction toward a target. The method includes, deploying an electrode of the system in a second direction different from the first direction, to compensate for drag of a tether wire deployed with the electrode. For example, a tether wire deployed from a tether wire store located adjacent to a cavity from which the electrode is propelled may exert a drag force causing inaccuracies of the propelled electrode. Compensation is accomplished, for example, by virtue of shaping the cavity. Compensation improves accuracy of the electrode striking the target.

Abstract: A method of simultaneously sanitizing and deodorizing an area from a single container which includes the steps of selecting a spray dispenser and a fluid sanitizing agent. Thereafter, placing a predetermined amount, by volume, of the fluid sanitizing agent selected into the spray dispenser selected. Further, the method includes selecting a fluid deodorizing agent placing a predetermined amount, by volume, of the fluid deodorizing agent selected into such spray dispenser, thereby forming a mixture of such fluid sanitizing agent and the fluid deodorizing agent and finally dispensing the mixture of such fluid sanitizing agent and such fluid deodorizing agent formed into an area to be both sanitized and deodorized at the same time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dispensing prepackaged medication packages includes an apparatus having a body with an internal cavity and an opening. A central processing unit operably communicates with an actuator and at least one sensor within the cavity to regulate and monitor the dispensation of the packages, while the actuator operably communicates with a feed mechanism within the cavity to dispense the packages.

Abstract: Systems and methods for representing, editing, and operating on multi-dimensional data efficiently, compactly, and in real-time with an intuitive graphical user interface without requiring extensive user training are provided. The multi-dimensional data consist of data pertaining to the allocation of labor, equipment, and material to project cost centers in business, educational, non-profit, and governmental organizations. The multi-dimensional data are stored in a multi-dimensional database that is accessed by the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface enables users to manipulate a large amount of data in a limited display area.

Abstract: A process of obtaining a co-granulate of zinc and ammonium phosphate having a N/P ratio of 0.6-1.9 which includes initially feeding ammonium phosphate in finely divided form with a zinc source such as zinc oxide or zinc sulphate into a granulator wherein ammonia may also be fed into the granulator to increase the N/P ratio. The co-granulate is then obtained after drying.

Abstract: Semiconductor crystals for use, for example, in the manufacture of integrated circuits are required to be inspected for crystal lattice perfection before any subsequent circuit processing. This can be done by X-ray diffraction in which the crystal is curved so that a divergent beam irradiates all points of the crystal surface at the same angle and simultaneously. The difficulty is however, in holding the crystal in the appropriately curved form while at the same time not obstructing the passage of X-rays from the front or back of the crystal and so enable topographs to be obtained by both reflection and transmission. According to the invention, in such a system the crystal is attached to a flat, X-ray transparent plate by pneumatic X-ray transparent means, and the plate is deformed to the required curvature, carrying the crystal with it.
