Abstract: An oceanic offshore system and method for generating electric power which comprises a structure positioned at an offshore location. A power generating module is mounted on the structure, the power generating module including a turbine, an electric power generator coupled to the turbine, and a generating source of power fluid for the turbine resulting from the combustion of a fossil fuel. There is a capture system connected to the generating source for transferring carbon dioxide combustion gases to a subsea location for sequestration of CO2.

Abstract: A lid is disclosed having a spring mechanism that pushes up an activator lever while also lifting up a flow stopper that keeps fluid from the mug and out through the lid. A button in the side of the lid activates the lever. This button can be locked in either the open or closed position. The open architecture allows for easy disassembly and deep cleaning of all of the parts of the lid. Due to the design of the lid, a mug can be filled without having to remove the lid. Similarly, the user does not have to touch any part of the lid from which water flows. This makes the use of this lid more sanitary.

Abstract: A wind turbine for deployment offshore. The wind turbine including: a tower-float assembly having a tower (3) for supporting a nacelle (13a) and a rotor (13b), and a float (5) arranged to maintain at least part of the tower above a surface of a body of water; a keel assembly (7) including at least one keel module (25) and at least one rod (9) connecting the keel module to the tower-float assembly, wherein the at least one rod is arranged to move relative to the tower-float assembly to deploy the keel module, and the keel module is movable relative to the tower-float assembly, in response to movement of the at least one rod, between a non-deployed position proximal the tower-float assembly and a deployed position which is distal from the tower-float assembly in a downwardly direction, thereby increasing an effective length of the wind turbine; and the at least one rod is arranged to transfer bending moments to the tower-float assembly.

Abstract: A plastic bag dispenser is disclosed. The plastic bag dispenser contains an elastic cord which has a first a first end and a second end. There is also a first spindle, which has the ability to connect to the first end of said elastic cord, and a second spindle, which has the ability to connect to the second end of the elastic cord, such that when the first spindle is connected to the first end of said elastic end and the second spindle is connected to the second end of the elastic cord, there exists the ability to hold a roll of plastic bags between the first spindle and the second spindle without the roll of plastic bags unraveling. The adjustable elastic cord secures the plastic bags to the roll on which the plastic bags are wrapped and serve to act as a pressure element to easily tear off a perforated bag.

Abstract: Systems and methods for validation of a media object may include receiving the media object and detecting, using a sensor, a damaged portion of the media object. The media object may be validated against a standard. During the validation of the media object, the damaged portion of the media object may be given less weight.

Abstract: A wave energy collector placed in ocean water a given distance from a shoreline, the wave energy collector formed by at least one parallelogram structure with an even number of mechanical actuators are positioned within the parallelogram structure. Each mechanical actuator has a respective hose with a check valve to suck ocean water in and blow ocean water out under pressure for energy conversion.

Abstract: A portable travel mug and water bowl combination which is used to retain water and dispense water for a dog to consume and thereafter enable the unconsumed water to be returned to the travel mug. The water bottle contains an upper section, a lower section and an interior recessed section which enables the bottle to be compressed to squeeze water out of the bottle through a straw into the dog bowl and at the same time provide a sufficient stiffness so that the shape of the bottle will not deform. The water bottle is designed to be fit into and retained in a standard car beverage container holder. The device is also designed to be aesthetically pleasing so that it can even be used in luxury vehicles.
