Abstract: The application discloses a truncated cone filter comprising a mesh material, an upper hole with a diameter slightly larger than a power transfer pipe, and a lower hole slightly larger than a diameter of a duct. In one embodiment, the duct is modified by drilling holes into a duct side surface to provide supplemental area for supplemental inlet air flow.

Abstract: The invention provides a mobile application, system, interface and method for monitoring, encouraging and rewarding user compliance with a blood glucose level monitoring regimen. It combines a server-client based application enabling scheduling of tasks, input of data, reminders, notifications, permission based sharing of data, synchronous messaging, rewards based on compliance, and community support cross-language and cross-platform. The client application is a mobile web application (such as an iphone application) installed on a network connected mobile or desktop device. The client application may also be a web site that is stored on a server and accessed through a network such as the internet. The server and mobile applications exchange data with one another through the network using standard networking and wireless protocols. The application defines and exchanges information according to permission based rules which can be monitored and modified remotely by a parent or guardian.

Abstract: A panel made of concrete-retaining mesh or lath is covered with concrete to form a fault-line defining the boundaries of a foundation break block.

Abstract: A single-unit mount is provided for attaching a nitrous oxide bottle to a vehicle. The mount includes a bivalve clamp assembly mounted on legs to hold the bottle at an angle of declination approximating 23.5°.

Abstract: A brace used for retaining concrete forms contains a pair of elongate members pivotally coupled for selective adjustment by actuation of a turnbuckle assembly. This adjustment is used to place the concrete forms in a disposition that is perpendicular to horizontal no matter what may be the pitch of the ground or other flooring material upon which the brace resides.

The method can include receiving (702) a search request from a user, constructing (703) a configuration query from a configuration table based on an identity of the user, and executing (704) a single fetch into a content table using the configuration query to retrieve content from the content table.

Abstract: Methods for processing substrate through a head that is configured to be placed in close non-contact proximity to a surface of a substrate are provided. One method includes applying a first fluid onto the surface of the substrate from conduits in the head when the head is in close proximity to the surface of the substrate and removing the first fluid from the surface of the substrate. The removing is processed just as first fluid is applied to the surface of the substrate, and the removing ensures that the applied first fluid is contained between a surface of the head and the surface of the substrate and the first fluid being applied and removed defines a controlled meniscus. The method further includes moving the controlled meniscus over different regions of the surface of the substrate when movement of the head or the substrate is dictated. The moving of the controlled meniscus enables processing of part or all of the surface of the substrate using the first fluid.

Abstract: A system and apparatus for cleaning a substrate is provided. The system includes a first head configured as a bar shape that extends approximately a diameter of the substrate. The first head is configured for placement on a first side of the substrate. A second head is also provided, and is configured as a bar shape that extends approximately the diameter of the wafer, and the second head is configured for placement on a second side of the substrate, such that the second side is opposite the first side. In this example, each of the first head and the second head have conduits formed therein along the diameter of the substrate for delivering and removing fluids so that a meniscus is capable of being contained between each of the first head and a substrate surface of the first side of the substrate and the second head and a substrate surface of the second side of the substrate.
