Abstract: A carrying case and system for personal protective equipment. The carrying case includes a housing having a base pivotally secured to a door forming an interior volume, wherein the interior volume of the housing can receive a personal protective equipment, such as a facemask. The base can magnetically fasten to a personal device, such as a smartphone or other mobile electronic device. The door provides access to the interior volume of the housing and is moveable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A software application is in operable communication with the personal protective equipment and the housing, wherein the software application can send alerts to a user regarding whether the housing contains the personal protective equipment, or the housing is separated from the personal protective equipment after the user has left a home location. The alert system prevents a user from being without the personal protective equipment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of generating combustible gas from organic feedstock, such as the organic components of municipal waste, and a reactor therefor. The feedstock is processed through a plurality of reaction zones within the reactor, wherein the environment of each of the zones facilitates physical or chemical reactions that work to transform the organic feedstock into one or more combustible gases that can be burned for energy production.
