Abstract: A low pH wipe is produced having no other buffering or modifying agents, using water only. The water has been modified by means of a reactor to produce an excess of hydronium ions to lower the pH.

Abstract: The invention provides an improved method for creating at least two flows of water from a reactor, derived from substantially pH7 water, for various applications and having widely divergent pH readings between 2 and 14 without need for chemicals. In addition, the reactor generates said divergent flows without need of an RF or A/C generator.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in a computer system coupled to a network for altering information in said network by the computer system. A process is inserted between two lower layers of the ISO/OSI model. The process then receives a packet from a first layer of the ISO/OSI model, and determines whether a criteria comprising a set of conditions has been determined in the packet. If any of the set of criteria is present in the packet then the packet is transformed into a modified packet according to a predefined action. Then, the modified packet is transmitted to a second layer of the ISO/OSI model. In different embodiments the layers may be either higher or lower relative to one another in order that incoming or outgoing packets be modified. The method may also be performed under control of a user-generated script, or by remote control from another node. The method may also employ user-generated processes for condition (criteria) checking and/or modifications.

Abstract: A detector comprising an elongated strip of semiconductor material which is photoconductive by the generation of electron and hole photocarriers when an image is moved along the strip. The strip includes an active region and a readout region. A first bias current is applied through the active region of the strip thereby producing an ambipolar drift of photocarriers in the strip whose velocity substantially matches the velocity of the movement of the image along said strip. A second bias current is applied to the readout region of the strip so that the drift of the photocarriers in the readout region has a velocity which is greater than the velocity of the drift of the photocarriers in the active region of the strip, thereby decreasing the time for readout.

Abstract: A peak detector employing an integrator, a D.C. tracking circuit and a zero-crossing detection circuit produces a logic signal indicating the occurrence of a peak of an input voltage signal. Hysteresis in the zero-crossing detection circuit and integration of the input voltage signal improves the noise rejection of the peak detector.
