Abstract: The invention relates to a game simulating research and development of a product. The game may comprise a central board, function cards, form cards, a player board and HR Meeple. The central board may comprise an endless outside track. The game may comprise three phases. A concept phase may involve: creating a product requirements document; recoding the product requirements document; collecting starting resources; building an initial team; and assigning initial tasking. A development phase may comprise: following turn and round rules; completing player actions; and assigning HR units to a facility. A prototyping phase wherein a final product is made.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and heaters for treating a subsurface formation are described herein. At least one method for providing power to one or more subsurface heaters is described herein. The method may include monitoring one or more operating parameters of the heaters, the intermittent power source, and a transformer coupled to the intermittent power source that transforms power from the intermittent power source to power with appropriate operating parameters for the heaters; and controlling the power output of the transformer so that a constant voltage is provided to the heaters regardless of the load of the heaters and the power output provided by the intermittent power source.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a specific ring support construction that supports containers of volatile liquids where the containers may become deformed, unstable and possibly tip over and provides a stable base for the containers and also makes the containers easier to navigate through conventional filing lines; said ring support construction comprising:

Abstract: A system for automatically sampling, monitoring and analyzing power plant steam cycle water supplied from various points in a power plant steam cycle system as a plurality of influent fluid sample streams. A continuous monitor module including continuous on-line monitors and a calibration unit provides continuous on-line monitoring of each influent fluid sample stream, and an ion chromatograph unit provides semi-continuous monitoring of a selected one of the influent fluid sample streams.
