Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for subterranean energy storage. The systems and methods involve a higher-pressured subterranean rock formation in fluid communication with a lower-pressured subterranean rock formation via a controllable fluid channel intersecting both formations. Potential energy is converted to electrical energy by allowing fluid to flow from the higher-pressured formation to the lower-pressured formation through a turbine in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The system is recharged by pumping fluid from the lower-pressured subterranean rock formation to the higher-pressured subterranean rock formation using a pump in fluid communication with the fluid channel.

Abstract: A recruiting service is disclosed that generates profiles of software developers having specific skills. Public code repositories are examined to identify projects of software developers. The projects are analyzed to estimate the number of years of experience a software developer has with an individual language and determine a score with respect to other developers. Social media information and a messaging link may also be provided with each profile. A graphical user interface for displaying the information is disclosed.

Abstract: An incontinence system is provided including a reusable undergarment with a first couple attached thereto. Associated therewith is a disposable incontinence diaper with a second couple attached thereto. The incontinence diaper may be removably positioned within the undergarment and the couples may be releasably coupled to maintain fixed relative positioning of the diaper and undergarment.

Abstract: A parabolic reflector having support structure, mounted upon a rotatable track, for supporting a parabolic dish framework to which is mounted one or more support panels to which, in turn, are pivotally mounted a plurality of reflectors for focusing rays on a linear collector. The support panels include a plurality of concave recesses operable to receive bowl-shaped reflectors provided with polygonal rims so that the sides of adjacent reflectors will be in registry with one another. The support panels are provided with bolts, outwardly extending from the base of each recess, the bolts being received in slotted apertures in each reflector bowl for pivoting and fastening the reflector in a pre-selected position for focusing solar rays upon the collector. The collector includes a heat exchange media operable to conduct heat at extremely high temperatures for production of steam. A novel tracking system is also provided.

Abstract: A parabolic reflector having support structure, preferably mounted on wheels for rotation, for supporting a dish framework to which is mounted a multiplicity of adjacently placed reflector members for focusing solar rays on a linear collector. The reflector members are in the form of sheets having the shape of funnel sections, i.e., infundibuliform, to provide a reflective concave surface. Each of the reflector members define slots which are aligned with and adjacent like slots of adjacently placed reflector members for receiving bendable tabs of clip fasteners.The clip fasteners, besides serving to securely connect adjacent reflector members, also include apertures for receiving rivets or other fasteners for attachment to the underlying parabolic framework. The clips include a reflective surface for maximizing reflector efficiency.The linear collector includes a cylindrical, elongated shell for receiving focused solar rays.
