  • Patent number: 8784632
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing electrodialysis at pressures greater than or equal to the ambient pressure is described. The apparatus includes an electrodialysis membrane stack and housing. The electrodialysis membrane stack includes at least one electrodialysis cell. The electrodialysis apparatus includes electrodes that apply voltage across the electrodialysis stack. The housing pressurizes the electrodialysis stack at a stack pressure. The housing includes a cell chamber that receives the electrodialysis stack, the cell chamber including at least one pressurization port communicating with the cell chamber such that a portion of electrode solution is transmittable into a region of the cell chamber outside the electrodialysis stack.

  • Publication number: 20130032135
    Abstract: An apparatus for capturing solar energy can include a solar energy capture device having an orientation plane and a sensor configured to determine a direction of gravity relative to a sensor plane. The solar energy capture device is configured to rotate about a pitch axis and a roll axis. The sensor plane can have an orientation that is fixed relative to the solar energy capture device. The orientation plane can he offset from the roll axis.

  • Patent number: 7576753
    Abstract: An image analysis and conversion method and system. Bitmapped ink images are converted to structured object representations of the bitmapped images, which may be read and edited by a structured text/graphics editor. The structured object representations correlate to perceptually salient areas of the bitmapped images. The structured object representations are editable by the structured text/graphics editor to allow a user to generate alternative interpretations of the bitmapped images.

  • Publication number: 20060112396
    Abstract: Various implementations provide for a task as the method that describes a spatial computing application by providing an abstract task graph (ATaG) wherein the abstract task graph specifies the behavior of the application without reference to the number, placement and connectivity of the nodes performing the application and the tasks are automatically mapped to the network. The ATaG specifies a set of tasks, a set of data objects and a set channels, including various constraints and preferences on where in the network tasks may be performed, how data is moved between locations and the data required at various locations. Moreover, various implementations provide for a task assignment system which maps the abstract tasks and channels to specific nodes and communication links, either at the time of the construction of the system or throughout the time of its operation.
