Abstract: A device for purifying water by solar power is described. The device has bottom and top sections, each being half-cylinders contacting one another along a flat edge to provide an elongated cylinder. The bottom section has an evacuated area with an optically transparent bottom surface that light can pass through to heat a liquid tray in the top section. A side-gutter directs water that condenses on an interior surface of the top section to an output port for collection.

Abstract: A behavior sets system facilitates the dynamic generation of field and rule behavior sets for an insurance policy and claims processing computer system. The behavior sets system includes various modules and graphical user interfaces that provide a streamlined mechanism for creating new behavior sets of field and rule behaviors for the insurance processing architecture. The behavior sets system may include various levels of usability that distinguish between an advanced user of the behavior sets system and basic user that uses the generated field and rule behavior sets. The behavior sets system may also include graphical user interfaces directed to adding, editing, removing, or maintaining the behavior of fields and rules for the insurance policy and claims processing computer system.

Abstract: This presented invention describes and relates to a o system including a plurality of parts and features comprising the inventive new system allowing the user to creatively and accurately operate a router to be able to cut several different cuts and create new designs on a piece of wood. This inventive new system includes a clampable on board adjustable miter gauge including an elongated slotted plate device suitably attached to a protractor device on the miter gauge, which guide means may be swung to allow angular adjustments to the right or left through an arcuate slot through which a threaded attachable detachable attachment passes through and into a suitable opening in said slotted plate of miter gauge thus allowing the setting of angles and tightening and loosening for adjustment.

Abstract: An underwater pool surface cleaning apparatus is provided comprising a suction head, a driving component spaced apart from the suction head, the driving component being arranged to move the apparatus underwater along a surface, and a first flexible hose to connect the suction head and the driving component together. In an example embodiment, a second flexible hose may be fitted to the driving component so as to join the driving component to a swimming pool filtration system. According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a driving component for an underwater cleaning apparatus. The driving component may comprise a body defining a chamber, a first end and a second end, with a valve arrangement being housed within the body. The valve arrangement is arranged to close and open so as to cause the apparatus to move.

Abstract: A production unit for purifying water is provided. The production unit has a fluid intake and a heating basin fluidly connected to the fluid intake by a connector such that a layer of water with a depth of less than about 30 mm is provided. A transparent dome is mounted to the top surface of the base that defines an interior perimeter. A trough in the base is contiguous with an interior surface of the transparent dome. A fluid output is fluidly connected to the trough and extends away from the base. A plurality of lenses is configured to focus sunlight onto a corresponding plurality of focal points located on the layer of water.
