Abstract: A pyrolysis apparatus and method for pyrolyzing plastic wastes to form a fuel and generating energy is described.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods of using the apparatus are described to decompose plastic to form a fuel for use in generating energy such as electricity.

Abstract: Methods for treating a neurologic disorder by neurostimulation. The stimulation may be applied using electromagnetic energy. In certain embodiments, distributed electrical stimulation is applied to a target site of the brain in an ongoing fashion. A microelectrode array may be used to provide the distributed electrical stimulation. The method may also comprise the detection of electrophysiologic signals from the brain. These detected signals may be analyzed and used for closed-loop feedback of the neurostimulation. Also provided are systems for neurostimulation and software for operating such systems.

Abstract: A process for supporting the roof of a mine shaft includes drilling a hole into the roof and then inserting a multi-stranded cable into the hole. The cable has a duct therein to allow the exit of air during its insertion. During the insertion, the cable is rotated and a bonding agent is introduced into the annulus between it and the surface of the hole.

Abstract: A fiber-reinforced product or article and a method and apparatus for producing same are provided. For producing the product, a mold of the size and shape of the desired product has reinforcing fibers positioned therein, substantially in a form in which they will exist in the final product. Means are also located in the mold for forming channels in communication with the fibers to facilitate the flow of resin through the length of the mold and into the fibers. The channels greatly increase the rate of penetration of the resin into spaces between the fibers, particularly for elongate products of substantial length and limited transverse cross section. The channels also facilitate evacuation of air from the mold and aid in the escape of air dissolved in the resin which precedes the resin as the resin flows into the mold.
