Abstract: An air flow control device, such as an air diffuser (21) with a differential pressure sensing assembly. The diffuser (21) has a housing (29) formed for mounting to a supply air conduit (22) for discharge of supply air (54) into a room (56). The differential pressure sensing assembly includes a diffuser-mounted portion (41) and a detachable sensor portion (40). The diffuser mounted portion (41) is provided by a pressure tube (42) having at least one opening (43) therein mounted to the housing (29) with the opening (43) positioned proximate an area of known cross section to communicate pressure at the opening (43) to an open distal end (46) of the tube (42). The distal end (46) is secured in a position accessible from a room side (51) of the housing (29).

Abstract: An energy management system is provided for managing the generation and distribution of energy from an energy source to a building. The building has a desired building environment and a total energy profile including a thermal energy requirement and an electrical energy requirement. The energy management system comprises an energy generator arranged to convert energy from the energy source to thermal energy and electrical energy, a heat recovery unit arranged to recover byproduct heat from the energy generator, a cooling unit arranged to use a first portion of the thermal energy to drive a refrigeration unit, a heating unit arranged to use a second portion of the thermal energy to drive a heating unit, a heat storage unit arranged to store excess heat, and an energy optimizing controller.

Abstract: A bookmark and pocket assembly for books, where a pocket allows a bookmark to be releasbly secured to the book by slidably inserting it into the pocket. The assembly is generally rectangular in shape and has the bookmark detachably joined on one side to the pocket by a bookmark tear line, and a binding panel detachably joined on another side by a binding tear line. The bookmark has an area defined for an advertisement or aesthetic design and the pocket has a front panel foldably joined to a rear panel. The front panel has an adhesive pattern so that when the rear panel is folded on to the front panel, a recess is formed in generally the same shape and size of the bookmark. The rear panel has a rear adhesive pattern on a back surface for attachment to a book surface and a backing sheet covering the adhesive over its extremities. The binding panel serves and an interface for binding the assembly as an insert to a spine of the book, where the book will then be shipped for resale.

Abstract: The invention discloses certain antitumor pyrrolo[4,3,2-de]quinolin-8(1H)-ones isolated from the Fijian marine sponge Z. cf. marsailis and structurally modified compounds thereof and pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: A tire pressure indicator for visual observation of tire pressure including a screw-on cartridge containing a spring-biased piston with a movable shield which covers a central indicator pilot when tire pressure is up to requirements. When pressure is below what it should be, the piston retracts to allow the shield to expose the indicator pilot to the view of an observer, thus serving as a warning that inflation is required. The cartridge is composed of three elements: a screw on base, intermediate element and a transparent sealed top cap. A cup-shaped vessel is movable in the intermediate and top cap sections in response to a subjacent diaphragm and pressure in the tire.

Abstract: A method of and system for identification and verification of TV and/or radio broadcasted program segments involving use of subaudible codes which are mixed with the conventional audio in the program segments. Individual program segments, which may include commercial message segments, have at the beginning thereof a preamble code (such as a predetermined number of cycles of 40 Hz.), a program segment identification code (which may consist of a series of alphanumeric characters) and a postamble code (such as a given number of cycles of 40 Hz.). The program segment codes may consist of a series of mark and space signals (such as presence and absence of 40 Hz. signals). A plurality of radio/television broadcast stations are monitored, the codes recovered and data sets defined, stored and later sent to a central location for reconciliation and/or compilation.

Abstract: An apparatus for regasifying liquified products such as natural gas includes an outer pressure vessel, an inner vessel for receiving liquified gas and a plurality of individually controllable heating assemblies stacked within the inner vessel. Each of the heating assemblies includes a plurality of sets of heating coils constructed for promoting the flow of liquified gas therethrough in a manner for enhancing the efficiency of the heating and regasifying operation.

Abstract: A method of accurately measuring volume of gas flowing through a conduit as a result of differential pressure of the gas within the conduit is disclosed. The method comprises determining flow of the gas through the conduit, and terminating flow of the gas through the conduit when the differential pressure is a preselected value. The gas flow and the resulting determination of gas volume are preferably referenced to standard temperature and pressure. Also disclosed is an apparatus for effecting the method.
