Abstract: A system for a multi-chambered electrochemical cell for carbon dioxide removal includes an electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell includes an anodic chamber at a first end of the electrochemical cell, which includes an anode. The electrochemical cell includes an acid swing chamber adjacent to the anodic chamber and separated by a cation exchange membrane. The electrochemical cell includes a desalination chamber separated from the acid swing chamber by a anion exchange membrane. The electrochemical cell includes a base swing chamber in fluid communication with the acid swing chamber and the desalination chamber. The base swing chamber is adjacent to the desalination chamber and separated by a cation exchange membrane. The electrochemical cell includes a cathodic chamber at a second end of the electrochemical cell, the cathodic chamber comprising a cathode, wherein the cathodic chamber is adjacent to the base swing chamber and separated by a second anion exchange membrane.

Abstract: A versatile ambidextrous pouch worn on the front central abdominal waist of user. provides quick access to handheld accessories for automotive detailing and other interchangeable tool uses, regardless of whether the user is right-handed or left-handed. The tool pouch enables both right-handed workers and left-handed workers to choose a primary, frequently used tool for the dominant hand of the worker and a secondary less used tool for the less dominant hand interchangeably, so that the primary tool can be advanced directly forward from the front central abdominal waist of the user, without awkwardly reaching across the abdomen to grasp a tool and move it angulary across the user's abdomen toward a work surface. Multiple other accessory tools are attached in and out of the pouch.

Abstract: A Raman spectroscopy based system and method for examination and interrogation provides a method for rapid and cost effective screening of various protein-based compounds such as bacteria, virus, drugs, and tissue abnormalities. A hand-held spectroscope includes a laser and optical train for generating a Raman-shifting sample signal, signal processing and identification algorithms for signal conditioning and target detection with combinations of ultra-high resolution micro-filters and an imaging detector array to provide specific analysis of target spectral peaks within discrete spectral bands associated with a target pathogen.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve and director plate assembly including a circular beveled valve seat, a valve ball for forming a circular sealing line against the seat, and a perforated director plate. The improved valve seat is substantially thicker than a prior art seat to provide greater mass of seat material and hence reduced vulnerability of the seat to thermal distortion from welding. To obviate an increase in residual fuel volume that would result from displacing the director plate from the valve by the added thickness of the seat, the central portion of an improved director plate is made concave such that the actual fuel-directing portion of the director plate is to the valve ball in the prior art relationship, thus preserving the desirably small prior art volume of residual fuel after valve closing.
