Abstract: An apparatus for generating electrical power, comprising: a generator for generating electrical power; a handle having a first end that is rotatably coupled to the generator, and a second end that is rotatable 360 degrees about the generator in a substantially vertical plane from a top dead centre (TDC) position, through a bottom dead centre (BDC) position, and back to the top dead centre (TDC) position; a weight that is moveable along the handle between a first position, a piston arranged to move the weight between first and second positions. The piston being operable to move the weight along the handle from the first position to the second position, such that the weight provides a mechanical advantage as the handle rotates from TDC to BDC due to gravity acting on it, whereby rotation of the handle drives the generator thereby to generate electrical power. A corresponding method is also provided.

Abstract: The dual microbial preparation contains the microscopic oomycete Pythium oligandrum and components of a physiological microbiome. The microscopic oomycete Pythium oligandrum and the physiological microbiome component are present in the dual preparation in a form which facilitates their germination, subsequent propagation and colonization of the target tissues. The microscopic oomycete Pythium oligandrum is incorporated in a quantity of 103 to 107 CFU (colony forming units), with 104 to 105 CFU per one cycle of application preferably. The physiological microbiome component contains 5×106 to 5×1010 CFU, with 5×107 to 5×109 per one cycle of application preferably. The fermented substrate found in the Pythium oligandrum oomycete is the source of nutrients for both microbial components.

Abstract: The antifungal mixture is designed for fighting human diseases and animal diseases of fungal, bacterial or other origin and for violation of bio-films on heterogeneous materials used both in human and veterinary medicine and for elimination of microflora from various objects coming in contact with humans or animals. The antifungal mixture uses the active component of the fungal organism Pythium oligandrum in the mixture with inert components; the said antifungal mixture contains 0.001 to 25 weight portions of the fungal organism Pythium oligandrum and 75 to 99.999 weight portions of inert components. The activity of the fungal organism Pythium oligandrum in the mixture arises at the moment when this organism gets in touch with humidity.

Abstract: This golf course includes a fairway (11), tees (17), greens (1), holes (3) and bunkers (4), and other customary obstacles (6). As a particular feature, it has a special lighting arrangement, such that it also allows golf to be played during hours of darkness. To this end, at least the tees (17), the greens (1), the bunkers (4) and obstacles (6) are each equipped with a series of discrete or continuous light sources (12, 15, 18, 20, 36), preferably in the form of ground-installed LEDs or of OLEDs or LEDs. These lights extend along the edges of the objects in question and are installed flush with the ground. The holes (3) are illuminated internally by means of a light source, and the flagpoles (24) are designed as removable illuminating poles, such that the hole (3) remains lit even after removal of the flagpole. On a golf course equipped in this manner, the game of golf is played with an illuminating golf ball.

Abstract: A user submits an unstructured query that is analyzed to determine a mapping from attributes to attribute values. One or more matching items from a structured data set are determined based on the attribute values of attributes associated with the items. The matching items are displayed. One or more refinement attributes are displayed, each with one or more attribute values. The attribute values in the refinements that correspond to the attribute values of the query are shown as selected. If the user selects any of the refinement attributes, the query is revised to incorporate the attribute values of the selected refinements. New matching items are determined using the revised structured query. The revised structured query and the new matching items are displayed. This process can be iterated, by modification of the query or the refinements. The matching items, the selected refinement attribute values and the query are synchronized.
