Abstract: A plugin modular, transportable ammonia producing machine is developed that can conveniently produce ammonia from electricity, air and water. The invention includes ammonia synthesis through a plugin modular device. FIG. 5 depicts the overall process flow of the system. Water at state 1 enters the system at room temperature in the water storage tank. Next, at state 2, the water in the storage tank is sent to the circulation pump that delivers water to the air compressor. This is done for two main purposes. Firstly, the circulating water cools the compressor during operation. Secondly, as the circulating water rises in temperature while leaving the air compressor, its temperature increases. This results in an increased inlet water temperature to the proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser that leads to higher water electrolysis performance.

Abstract: A highly efficient wind turbine is used to generate electricity from wind. The highly efficient wind turbine includes a cowling, a turbine wheel, a support shaft, and an electricity-generating unit. The cowling is mounted around the support shaft and is used to protect the turbine wheel and channel wind. The turbine wheel is mounted to the support shaft and generates rotational energy from wind. The electricity-generating unit is coupled to the turbine wheel and converts rotational energy from the turbine wheel into electricity. A front wind-channeling cone and a back wind-channeling cone are mounted on either side of the turbine wheel. The front wind-channeling cone directs wind towards the outside of the turbine wheel to maximize leverage. The back wind-channeling cone is used to reduce drag. A wind accelerator is mounted around the cowling and is used to optimize the efficiency of the turbine by accelerating airflow.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antimicrobial sanitizing compositions for use as air sanitizers and deodorisers. The sanitizing compositions comprise a combination of an alkoxy silyl ammonium compound, a benzalknonium chloride or benzethonium chloride and a polymeric biguanide in a glycol carrier. Methods of use of the compositions are also described.

Abstract: Avoiding failure repetition in data processing includes storing a sequence of circumstances leading up to a previous failure, monitoring circumstances in a current process, matching a sequence of circumstances in the current process to a stored sequence of circumstances, and applying rules to determine if the current process should proceed.

Abstract: A system for producing ammonia includes sources of hydrogen and nitrogen gas, a hydrogen gas booster for producing produce pressurized hydrogen gas, a nitrogen gas booster for producing pressurized nitrogen gas, and a synthesis reactor that receives a mixture of the pressurized hydrogen and nitrogen gases. The synthesis reactor includes an inlet for receiving the pressurized gas mixture, a heating zone adjacent the inlet for heating the gas mixture, a catalyst zone downstream from the heating zone for catalyzing a reaction of the mixture to form ammonia and a by-product, and a cooling zone downstream from the catalyst zone for cooling the ammonia and the by-product. The system has a separator for separating the ammonia from the by-product, an ammonia storage tank for collecting the ammonia, and a recycle loop for re-circulating the by-product back to the synthesis reactor.

Abstract: A golf club head cleaning device having a manual driven and/or motor-driven round cleaning brush removabally mounted inside a bucket on one end of a telescope brush shaft which has the other end extends through the side wall of a bucket of which top open area having at least one groove to accommodate golf club shaft heads for cleaning therein, and a handle removably mounted on the other end of the shaft outside the bucket for manually actuation by hand or by an electric motor to rotate the brush for cleaning the club surface therein. The cleaning device may further have an axle assembly to prevent shaft from wobbling when turning handle to rotate the brush, and a bucket lid to prevent water from splashing to the user. The device is easy to manufacture, ergonomic to operate, efficient in cleaning, less expensive in respect of maintenance and manufacturing.

Abstract: There is provided a cryptographic round dater and its method of use. By capturing customer profile information and encoding the information on a label affixed to the customer's submitted mailpiece, fraudulent or criminal use of the mail may be deterred by providing traceability to the source of the mail piece. The information attached to the mailpiece may be both human readable and machine readable, said machine readable portion being optionally encrypted to protect the privacy and security of the encoded information. Further benefit is provided by allowing the handling of a mailpiece to be traced, allowing for effective remediation or investigation in the event of an unauthorized use of mail.
