Abstract: A pump system for selectively extracting nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) from groundwater includes a fuel pump with current monitoring and a control assembly. The system utilizes a conductive probe within a probe body to detect a fluid interface, distinguishing NAPLs from water by measuring conductivity. The control assembly monitors the pump's current draw and adjusts operation to avoid water intake, thereby protecting the pump from damage. The probe body features an insulated shell to ensure accurate readings, and the control assembly uses real-time data to activate or deactivate the pump based on fluid type. The system is further configurable to calibrate for various contaminant conditions, optimizing efficient NAPL extraction from contaminated environments.

Abstract: The integrated workstation comprises an ovoid recliner chair rotatably mounted on a star-shaped steel base. This chair features a padded bi-fold leg rest, a headrest maintaining a fixed spatial relationship with the user's head during reclination, and a reinforcing steel support member. An adjustable semi-circular support bracket is attached to the chair, connecting to a pivotable ring structure. This structure houses a gaming-optimized contoured display module, audio output devices, an extendable camera assembly with a 45-degree beamsplitter mirror, LED panels, a retractable green screen, and acoustic foam. Accompanying is a crescent-shaped table with a control dial for multiple functions, pivot-mounted to the bracket. The workstation is powered via a chair's base cable. For video conferencing, the chair's headrest remains obscured from the camera perspective.

Abstract: Improved mechanisms for collecting information from a diverse suite of sensors and systems, calculating the current precipitation, atmospheric water vapor, atmospheric liquid water content, or precipitable water and other atmospheric-based phenomena, for example presence and intensity of fog, based upon these sensor readings, predicting future precipitation and atmospheric-based phenomena, and estimating effects of the atmospheric-based phenomena on visibility, for example by calculating runway visible range (RVR) estimates and forecasts based on the atmospheric-based phenomena.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for effectuating payment for consumable content. An example method includes receiving a request for payment associated with a content source device and identifying a first user device associated with a first user accessing consumable content of the content source device. The method further includes transmitting an actionable payment notification to the first user device. In an instance in which the computing device receives responsive authorization from the first user device, the method includes transmitting a first real-time payment to the content source device. In an instance in which the computing device fails to receive responsive authorization from the first user device, the method includes causing access of the consumable content to the first user device to halt.

Abstract: A remote cinching actuator, which includes an integral motor wherein its rotation will drive the two stage drive gears system, that are coupled to a cable lever. This cable lever is mechanically attached to a cinch lever within the side door latch by the cable. The lever will rotate on its pivot and move the cinch drive link. A bearing attached to the cinch drive link will move during the cinching operation, traveling through a canal of a cinch override lever, to maintain the traveling course of the cinch drive link and, thereby, allowing the interaction between the cinch drive link and a claw to rotate the claw to its closed/primary position.
