Abstract: The present application provides a process and plant for the microbial production of hydrogen from the site of hydrocarbonaceous deposit, the process comprising modifying the composition of the deposit through the introduction into or into the vicinity of the deposit of at least one hydrogen producing microorganism, wherein the at least one hydrogen producing microorganism is provided on site by means of a transportable microbiological incubator, the plant comprising means in the form of a transportable microbiological incubator for generating at least one hydrogen producing microorganism; and means for supplying the at least one at least one hydrogen producing microorganism into the hydrocarbonaceous deposit.

Abstract: The invention concerns process and plant for the microbial production of hydrogen from the site of hydrocarbonaceous deposit, the process comprising modifying the composition of the deposit through the introduction into or into the vicinity of the deposit of at least one hydrogen producing microorganism, wherein the at least one hydrogen producing microorganism or at least one microbiological condition conducive to the thriving of the microorganism is selected, or its selection is aided, by means of continuous flow methodology, the plant comprising means in the form of continuous flow methodology apparatus for selecting at least one hydrogen producing microorganism and/or for selecting at least one microbiological condition conducive to the thriving of the microorganism; and means for supplying the at least one hydrogen producing microorganism into the hydrocarbonaceous deposit.

Abstract: A water pressure and quality sensing system for use in a municipal water supply. The system includes a pressure transducer in fluid communication with the municipal water supply, the pressure transducer configured to convert fluid pressure to an analog electrical signal. A network modem including firmware configured to interpret the analog electrical signal is provided, the network modem is in electrical communication with the pressure transducer. The network modem configured to communicate wirelessly with a device remote manager. The device remote manager having an application programming interface (API) and a geographic information system (GIS) software platform configured for analyzing incoming data with a geoviewer functionality, wherein the geoviewer functionality is configured for generating pipeline leak alerts.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for providing temporary support to a structure such as a formwork member. The invention includes a support device (1) for supporting a formwork member (16) adjacent to formwork surface. A securing means (12) is associated with the structure being operable for securing the support device to the formwork surface. A switching means (3) is provided for switching the securing means (12) between an operating condition whereby the securing means (12) secures the support device to the formwork surface, and a non operating condition whereby the securing means (12) is not securing the support device to the formwork surface. Advantageously, the support device (1) can be easily and predictably activated and de-activated.

Abstract: A convertible wheeled vehicle which is capable of assembly into any one of a plurality of different vehicles includes a front wheel frame assembly. A wheel is mounted to the front wheel frame assembly. A chassis assembly has at least one wheel. A pair of vertically spaced plates extends from the front wheel assembly and a tubular connector associated with the chassis assembly is disposed therebetween. A pin extends between the plates and through the tubular connector for securing the chassis in any one of a plurality of orientations.
