Abstract: Remote control devices to interface with audience measurement meters are disclosed. An example remote control device to interface with an audience measurement meter includes an audience management controller to, responsive to a gender value input via a user interface of the remote control device, store the gender value, responsive to an age value input via the user interface of the remote control device, store the age value, generate a message including the gender value and age value, and a transmitter to transmit the message to the audience measurement meter, the message including a sequence of infrared codes.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein provide for a form engine communicatively coupled to a storage system to retrieve a plurality of graphical control elements from a first of the source systems. The form engine generates a template that controls placement of the graphical control elements into the electronic document based on user-selectable cartesian coordinates, and persists the template in the storage system according to the compartmentalized portion of the first source system. The form engine may then authenticate a first user of the first source system, import an electronic file at the direction of the user, retrieve the template from the storage system, and format placement of the graphical control elements in the electronic file according to the cartesian coordinates of the template and a scale of the electronic file to generate an electronic form for the first source system.

Abstract: A light scattering method and apparatus are disclosed whereby the presence of the COVID-19 virus in a designated volume of ambient air may be confirmed within a few hours from the analysis of its contents. By such means, the near real-time presence of viral constituents within airborne regions of meetings, gatherings, presentations, and even the ICUs of hospitals themselves, may be confirmed and often quantified. The present invention provides such means to find, separate, and identify specifically such fractions: an important early warning of their presence and the current dangers they pose. The same methods described may be applied also for the detection of airborne bacteria.

Abstract: A snow moving tool that has a handle and a curved lower shovel portion permanently affixed to an upper shovel portion so that as snow is scooped by the lower shovel portion, it is also pushed down by the upper shovel portion so that deep snow does not simply move over the top of the lower shovel portion.

Abstract: A searching procedure based on the detection and separation by specific multiangle scattered light properties of a small set of particles sought from a sample containing far greater concentrations of irrelevant particles is presented whereby all the particulate content of a volumetric fraction of the air of a targeted facility is captured and the particles of potential importance are separated therefrom. The unique size ranges, multiangle light scattering characteristics, and physical properties associated with specific particulates sought (such as bacteria or spores from spore-forming bacteria or asbestos particles, for example), once extracted from the total populations collected, are then processed for further study/classification/actions, as required. For the case of airborne bacteria, such processes could be expected to reduce the incidence of hospital acquired infections, by providing an early warning of their presence and capturing specific exemplars thereof for future analyses.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved snow shovel and roof rake including a curved lower shovel portion permanently affixed to an upper shovel portion so that as snow is scooped by the lower shovel portion, it is also pushed down by the upper shovel portion so that deep snow does not simply move over the top of the lower shovel portion.
