Abstract: A method includes, responsive to first input, actuating a first plurality of valves of a solar board to be in an open position to provide cold water via a first manifold mounted to the solar board to first equipment and to receive hot water from the first equipment. The method further includes, responsive to second input, actuating a second plurality of valves of the solar board to be in the open position to provide the cold water via the first manifold and a second manifold mounted to the solar board to second equipment and to receive the hot water from the second equipment.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, methods, and kits for detection of Entamoeba nucleic acids. Some embodiments relate to detection of E. histolytica but not E. dispar. Some embodiments relate to quantification of levels of E. histolytica.

Abstract: A protein-fortified frozen dessert formulation and the process for making it are described. In particular, a sweet mix of 10-20% w/w sugar, 0-10% w/w flavouring, 0-20% w/w fat, 10-15% w/w milk solids, 0-11% w/w protein and 50-65% w/w water is prepared, preheated, pasteurized, homogenized and aged. The aged sweet-mix is then blended with yogurt and optionally more protein prior to freezing. Alternatively, a mix of 10-20% w/w sugar, 0-10% w/w flavouring, 0-20% w/w fat, 10-15% w/w milk solids, 5-15% w/w protein, 5-20% yogurt and 50-65% w/w water is prepared, preheated, pasteurized, homogenize and aged and frozen to a low target overrun.

Abstract: A cryogenic fluid jet is used in an apparatus and a method for remote cooling of a cutting tool engaged in machining a workpiece under high-energy conditions, such as high-speed machining, hard-turning, cutting of difficult to machine materials, and combinations thereof. The apparatus and method use a stabilized, free-expanding cryogenic fluid jet having a pulse cycle time less than or equal to about 10 seconds. The apparatus and method increase the cleanliness of machined parts and chips and machining productivity of hard but brittle tools, including but not limited to tools which should not be cooled with conventional cooling fluids.

Abstract: An animal collar has a band with an inner layer and an outer layer. A pair of screws extend through and protrude from the outer layer for securing to a control unit that supplies an electrical signal upon the occurrence of a selected event. A pair of conductive leads extends from the screws in opposite directions between the inner and outer layers. A threaded receptacle is located at the electrode end of each lead. An electrode extends through a hole in the inner layer and engages the threaded receptacle.
