  • Patent number: 11751313
    Abstract: A light dimming system includes one or more lights and includes a local light controller that includes a dimming controller and a processing circuit, the dimming controller configured to provide an output to the one or more light drivers. One or more electronic processors are configured to receive a dimming input value indicating a desired dimming level for the one or more lights. The processors are further configured to determine a configuration of the one or more light drivers, wherein the configuration defines whether the one or more light drivers utilize a non-linear dimming curve or a linear dimming curve, and provides the dimming controller a dimming level to output a dimming control signal to the one or more light drivers equivalent to the received dimming input value based on a non-linear or linear calculation.

  • Patent number: 9978470
    Abstract: A method for immobilizing liquid radioactive waste is provided, the method having the steps of mixing waste with polymer to form a non-liquid waste; contacting the non-liquid waste with a solidifying agent to create a mixture, heating the mixture to cause the polymer, waste, and filler to irreversibly bind in a solid phase, and compressing the solid phase into a monolith. The invention also provides a method for immobilizing liquid radioactive waste containing tritium, the method having the steps of mixing liquid waste with polymer to convert the liquid waste to a non-liquid waste, contacting the non-liquid waste with a solidifying agent to create a mixture, heating the mixture to form homogeneous, chemically stable solid phase, and compressing the chemically stable solid phase into a final waste form, wherein the polymer comprises approximately a 9:1 weight ratio mixture of styrene block co-polymers and cross linked co-polymers of acrylamides.

  • Publication number: 20140031146
    Abstract: The present invention is a golf tee and proprietary golf tee training system, and method for its use, in which modern era golf clubs are scientifically tested contacting a golf ball to determine the optimum point of contact on the face of each club in relationship to the height of a teed golf ball. Visible indicia or depth insertion indicator rings and corresponding visible indicia or club select indicators, as integral parts of a unique and proprietary golf tee training system, are used to indicate to the golfer on the shank of the tee as to the ideal depth of insertion of the golf tee to allow a teed golf ball to be at the optimum height in relationship to the optimum point on the club face for each and every golf club in a golfers bag. By using this proprietary scientific pre-set system, any golfer can choose a club, identify it by name on the Exact Tee and tee the golf ball perfectly each time with no training or experience.
