Abstract: A device for creating reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species comprising: a plasma generator comprising at least one electrode positioned within an open-ended chamber and a centrifugal mixing chamber in fluid communication with the plasma generator, said centrifugal mixing chamber comprising a mixing chamber side wall and a blade, said blade oriented to allow passage of air in a circular motion around a central post of said centrifugal mixing chamber, and an exit nozzle on an opposing end of said centrifugal mixing chamber.

Abstract: A PV system may be used in case of emergencies. Each individual photovoltaic module receives a signal to determine if it is allowed to be operational or must shut down. Modules by default are shut off and safe to handle, absent the signal and in the presence of light.

Abstract: A door mounted support apparatus for a punching bag having two main components: (1) a main support bracket; and (2) a punching bag support bracket. The main support bracket includes a first horizontal bar and a second opposite side horizontal bar. The first and second horizontal bars are connected via two parallel curved arms. The main support bracket is mounted to a door frame by extending the first horizontal bar in front of the side door jambs and hooking the second horizontal bar behind the top door jamb. Adjustable clamps on the curved arms and on the first horizontal bar are used to tighten and secure the main support bracket to the door frame. The punching bag support bracket is then inserted into slots on the first horizontal bar and locked into position with locking pins. A punching bag is suspended from the punching bag support bracket.

Abstract: The multiple taco shaping and frying apparatus allows for five to ten tortillas to be pressed and formed into the perfect “V” shaped form and submerged into a standard home use deep fryer or pot.

Abstract: Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) variable capacitor apparatuses, system and related methods are provided. According to one embodiment, a MEMS variable capacitor is provided. The variable capacitor can include first and second actuation electrodes being spaced apart, and at least one of the actuation electrodes being movable when a voltage is applied across the first and second actuation electrodes. Further, the variable capacitor can include a first capacitive electrode attached to the first actuation electrode. The variable capacitor can also include a second capacitive electrode attached to the second actuation electrode and spaced from the first capacitive electrode for movement of at least one of the capacitive electrodes with respect to the other capacitive electrode upon application of voltage across the first and second actuation electrodes to change the capacitance between the first and second capacitive electrodes.

Abstract: Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) variable capacitor apparatuses, system and related methods are provided. According to one embodiment, a method for varying the capacitance of two conductive plates is provided. The method can include providing a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) variable capacitor. The variable capacitor can include first and second actuation electrodes wherein one of the actuation electrodes is movable with respect to the other actuation electrode when a voltage is applied across the first and second actuation electrodes. Further, the variable capacitor can include first and second capacitive electrodes. The method can include applying a voltage to the first and second actuation electrodes for movement of at least one of the capacitive electrodes in a substantially straight direction with respect to the other capacitive electrode upon application of voltage across the first and second actuation electrodes to change the capacitance between the first and second capacitive electrodes.

Abstract: The Pallet-Pull presents a method for moving and pulling shipping pallets. Such pallets can be made of many different materials and sizes. The device can be attached to any forklift or any thing capable of pulling, such as but not limited to front end loaders, forklifts, farm tractors, and any machine capable of pulling laterally. The device is designed to work in conjunction with a steel chain. Said chain is attached to the device. The chain can be attached or extended by other chains or cables to form the needed length to extract or move pallet. This chain by its very nature allows attachment to a wide Variety of equipment. The device is placed inside the frame work of the pallet, and is held in place by lateral pressure from pulling equipment. The device applies friction to 2 places on the pallet creating a firm hold for lateral pulling. Pallet is then pulled to desired placement, and the device can easily be removed.

Abstract: The Bucket-Razor presents a method for removing various items from hard surfaces. Such surfaces can be Asphalt and concrete, but not limited to these. The device can be attached to any front-end loader piece of equipment, such as, but not limited to skid steer tractors, backhoes, farm tractors, any front-end loader. The unit is designed to fit a large range of different size and thickness buckets. It can, by use of setscrews, be held in place. Once unit is attached to the bucket, a cutting blade is inserted into unit. This blade also is held in place by countersunk setscrews. This blade being mainly spring steel and of such a thickness and hardness to allow it to get under and cut objects stuck to hard surfaces. Several blade widths are possible up to 16″. The unit itself can be positioned at any point on the bottom plate of the bucket from one side to other side. Removing is accomplished, by the spring steel being forced under the object, by the forward motion of the front-end loader.
