  • Publication number: 20240087263
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method comprises obtaining a video stream of a portion of a geographic area, the video stream comprising a plurality of video frames, each of the plurality of video frames captured at a respective first time. Contextual metadata is obtained, the contextual metadata associated with one or more objects located in the portion of the geographic area at a second time, the second time being before each of the respective first times. The contextual metadata is inserted into one or more of the plurality of video frames, thereby causing the contextual metadata associated with the one or more objects to be overlaid on one or more corresponding portions of the one or more of the plurality of video frames.

  • Publication number: 20240025783
    Abstract: An algae scrubber system operates via a flow of water and a power source. The algae scrubber system does not require a bubbler. The rate of flow of the water may be variable. The algae scrubber system includes a screen that is configured to be removed from the system without shutting off the flow of water through the system and without spilling the water. The system includes a main body with a water distributor providing water to a tray. A screen hangs from the tray to and grow light(s) encourage algae growth on the screen.

  • Publication number: 20230031690
    Abstract: An insert designed for use with a protein skimmer is disclosed. The insert includes one or more tubes that define an opening with a diameter. This diameter is designed to be smaller than the protein skimmer neck's diameter. The one or more tubes are insertable and retained by the protein skimmer neck to adjust the effective diameter of the protein skimmer neck's opening.

  • Patent number: 6068843
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for detecting the presence of Serpulina hyodysenteriae in a biological sample, an oligonucleotide primer and an S. hyodysenteriae-specific oligonucleotide probe useful in that method, and an article of manufacture that contains the primers and/or probe. Also provided are an about 2.3-kb DNA fragment derived from genomic DNA of S. hyodysenteriae and encoding for an about 56 kDa polypeptide, a recombinant expression vector containing the DNA fragment, the 56 kDa polypeptide and a monoclonal antibody reactive with the peptide, and a method of assaying for antibodies reactive with the 56 kDa peptide.

  • Patent number: 4090511
    Abstract: A valve housing has a mouth port in one side and a vent opening in its opposite side, with another opening between them for connection to a carbon dioxide removing and oxygen generating canister. Around the mouth port inside the housing is a valve seat, toward which a valve member is urged by a spring to normally close the valve. Surrounding the valve member and spring is a bellows that has an open end secured to the housing around the vent opening to thereby expose the inside of the bellows to the pressure of water or other liquid in which the valve may be submerged. Connected to the outer end of the mouthport is a mouthpiece adapted to be held in the mouth of a user, and encircling the mouthpiece is a ring that is connected with the valve member for movement with it.
