Abstract: The present invention relates to a breath tester. The breath tester includes a sensor for sensing a mind-altering substance in breath from a blower (i.e. person blowing an providing a sample). A breath guide is provided for guiding the breath so that it is not returned to the blower. Advantageously, the guide guides the breath so that it is not returned to the blower to thereby minimise the likelihood of spread of infectious disease.

Abstract: Provided are methods, processes and systems for treating a soapstock. In alternative embodiments, provided are systems and methods for treating a soapstock to generate free fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives, e.g. fatty acid alkyl esters. In alternative embodiments, provided are systems and methods for realizing the full fatty acid yield of a soapstock by first converting substantially all of the saponifiable material in a soapstock to salts of fatty acids (soaps) and acidulating the soaps to generate free fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives, e.g. fatty acid alkyl esters, wherein the soapstock comprises soaps and saponifiable lipids, e.g. glycerides and/or phospholipids, and the generating of free fatty acids and/or fatty acid is achieved.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention relate to a polymerization reactor where the agitator mixing performance is optimized for use with a high activity catalyst and methods for developing the same.

Abstract: Various embodiments include gas turbine seals and methods of forming such seals. In some cases, a turbine includes: a first arcuate component adjacent to a second arcuate component, each arcuate component including one or more slots located in an end face, each of the one or more slots having a plurality of axial surfaces and radially facing surfaces extending from opposite ends of the axial surfaces and a seal assembly disposed in the slot. The seal assembly including a backup intersegment seal disposed in the slot on a high-pressure side of the slot and a shim seal disposed in the slot over the backup intersegment seal and covering the backup intersegment seal on a low-pressure side of the slot. The shim seal including one or more shim seal segments and having a gap formed between each of the one or more shim seal segments.

Abstract: A substance testing method, a substance testing system, and a sensor module for a portable substance testing system is disclosed. The sensor module includes: a light source, configured to illuminate a lateral flow test strip of the portable substance testing system; a filter, comprising a plurality of apertures, configured to filter out light from the lateral flow test strip; and a sensor, for sensing the filtered light, and providing one or more signals indicative of an output of the test strip.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mind-altering substance testing unit. The unit includes a display module for displaying an indication of a drug or alcohol. A sensor module is releasably fastened to the display module and includes sensors for sensing the drug and alcohol. The unit also includes a sample cartridge for receiving a sample and for releasably fastening to the sensor module so that the sensor module can sense the drug. Advantageously, the same testing unit can be used to sense alcohol and the drug avoiding the need for separate testing units.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating three-dimensional models with correlated three-dimensional and two dimensional imagery data are provided. In particular, imagery data can be captured in two dimensions and three dimensions. Imagery data can be transformed into models. Two-dimensional data and three-dimensional data can be correlated within models. Two-dimensional data can be selected for display within a three-dimensional model. Modifications can be made to the three-dimensional model and can be displayed within a three-dimensional model or within two-dimensional data. Models can transition between two dimensional imagery data and three dimensional imagery data.

Abstract: A constant-velocity joint includes an outer race, inner race, end cap, and seal. The outer race defines a cavity, an opening to the cavity, and a through hole configured to receive a fastener. The inner race is disposed within the cavity and is rotatably connected to the outer race via a plurality of ball bearings. The end cap is secured to the outer race and covers the opening. The seal is disposed between the outer race and the end cap. The seal defines a channel that is in fluid communication with the cavity and the through hole. The channel is configured to vent air between the cavity and through hole.

Abstract: The oligomerization of ethylene using a chromium catalyst having a heteroatomic ligand may be used to provide oligomerization products that are selective towards hexene and/or octene. However, such processes also typically produce some polymer as an undesirable by product. The present invention is directed towards improvements in the selective oligomerization of ethylene.
