Abstract: Systems and methods for a pyrolytic oven for processing waste include multiple zones associated with multiple independently-controlled heating sources. The pyrolytic oven may have multiple sensors also associated with each zone. The pyrolytic oven may also include a fuel management system which adjusts a power level of each heating source for each zone independently based on a reading of the corresponding sensor.

Abstract: Devices for holding beverage containers that can be used inside a vehicle or attached to a structure. In one example, a cup holder device for use in a vehicle may include an upper portion having a bottom surface, a peripheral rim offset from the bottom surface, and a side surface connecting the peripheral rim to the bottom surface. The peripheral rim defines an opening that is configured to receive a cup in the upper portion. A lower portion is coupled to the upper portion. The lower portion is configured to fit into a gap of an interior vehicle door, the impression typically formed by at least a first inside wall, a second inside wall, and an inside bottom surface. The lower portion may include a molded form configured to fit inside the impression of an interior vehicle door, or a spring-biased connector to attach to the impression.

Abstract: A pyrolytic converter for treating waste materials has an elongated oven that has different channels. The different channels share the length of the elongated oven and divided to occupy different portions of a cross section of the oven. The pyrolytic converter also has a heating source that is configured to supply heat to a portion of the waste materials located within a channel at a specific temperature and to supply heat to another portion of the waste materials located within a different channel at a different temperature.

Abstract: A pyrolyzer has a heated inner housing that includes first and second conveyors. Preferred conveyors have independent or at least potentially independent flows of material to be pyrolyzed. All suitable conveyors are contemplated, including especially screw conveyors, or combination of screw and paddle conveyors. Both first and second conveyors can be disposed within a common lumen, with a partial divider between them. An alternative divider is also contemplated that more or less divides the inner housing into two lumens. Thus, the lumens can be entirely distinct, or can have cross-flow of gases and/or material being pyrolyzed. Heat transfer fins can be advantageously attached, extend from, or be otherwise coupled to the inner housing to assist in transfer of heat into the lumen(s) of the inner housing.

Abstract: A photo book display system is provided having customized photos. The photo book display system, comprising: an outside cover having a top flap, a bottom flap, a closing flap, and an attachment member, the top flap attached to the bottom flap in a rotatable manner, and the closing flap attached to the bottom flap or top flap, the closing flap formed to secure the top flap or bottom flap by extending over one edge of the top flap or bottom flap in the closed position; the attachment member contacting the interior of the outside cover and capable of holding a photo book within the interior of the outside cover; and a photo book comprising an inside cover, spine, and a plurality of pages having images thereon, the spine for holding the plurality of pages and inside cover, the photo book capable of being removably held within the interior of the outside cover by the attachment member.

Abstract: Active millimeter-wave imaging systems can include an antenna apparatus configured to transmit toward and receive from a subject in a subject position, electromagnetic radiation. A controller can include a transceiver configured to operate the antenna apparatus and produce an output representative of the received radiation, and a processor adapted to convert the transceiver output into image data representative of an image of the subject. The antenna apparatus may move in a partial or continuous loop around the subject, toward or away from the subject, or in an opposite direction to an associated antenna apparatus. Antenna units in the antenna apparatus may be oriented at different angular positions along an array. Antenna arrays may also be formed of a plurality of array segments, and a group of arrays may be combined to form an antenna apparatus.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the separation and recovery of an unsaturated hydrocarbon from its mixture with at least one other material by the selective and reversible complexation of the unsaturated hydrocarbon using a single cubane-type cluster of palladium, molybdenum and sulfur as a complexation agent.
