Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a water purification device designed to operate primarily on gravitational force. The device comprises an inlet chamber (102) for storing surface water; and a filtration chamber (104) placed beneath the inlet chamber housing: a first filter made up of a 1:3 mixture of zeolite and acid-fractionalized activated charcoal, supported on a cotton bed; a second filter (104B) consisting of powdered eggshell membrane mixed with zeolite and Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a 5:3:1 ratio; and a third filter (104C) composed of a mixture of eggshell membrane powder, zeolite, Fe3O4, and AgNO3 nanoparticles, all supported on a cotton bed in a 5:3:1:1 ratio; and an outlet (106) adjusted at a bottom section for collecting purified water. The surface water enters from a top of the filtration chamber and is subjected to gravitational force, leading it through the series of filters towards the outlet.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described which permit the state, the individual, the individual's case manager, and the individual's circle of support to have real time access to utilization data to monitor services and progress toward outcomes as part of a plan for achieving the individual's goals and maintain the individual's health and wellbeing, as well as to forecast future needs. Systems and methods for sharing billing information across at least two organizations in an integrated manner are also described. A physical node may receive a request for authorization for a user in an organization to access an individual's information in another organization. The request may be logged. The physical node may determine whether the user is authorized to access the individual's information and, if it is, provide appropriate access.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing the information of an individual under care across at least two organizations in an integrated manner are described. These include systems and methods of data collection from multiple sources relating to the individual's care, where the data collection is driven by one or more preset orders. The preset orders may be preset by a user. A physical node may receive a request for authorization for a user in an organization to access an individual's information in another organization. The request may be logged. The physical node may determine whether the user is authorized to access the individual's information and, if it is, provide appropriate access.

The physical node may determine whether the user is authorized to access the individual's information and, if it is, provide appropriate access. Also disclosed is an integrated web application and system which includes the core plan, budget, service authorizations, service documentation, claims, and communications of an individual under care and allows for calculated access and communication with external authorization and payment systems.

Abstract: This innovation is a new type of the small specimens, nun-destructive, creep testing techniques, which are used to obtain creep properties and the remaining life time of the critical high temperature engineering components; when only small amount of material is available for creep testing. The small Two bar specimen (TBS) is suitable for use to obtain both uniaxial creep strain and creep rupture life data, using small material samples. The specimen has a simple geometry and can be conveniently machined and loaded through pin-connections for testing. This innovation is also an efficient testing method to determine the material creep constants which are used in creep models. The small two bar specimen can be made from small material samples removed from the component surfaces and then creep tested. The specimen is loaded using two loading pins under high temperature until the rupture of the specimen.

Abstract: This innovation comes as development to the small specimens creep testing methods which are used to determine the material mechanical properties, creep strength and to determine the remaining life time for the critical high temperature engineering components operating at creep range. The Pin loaded small one-bar specimen can be made from small material samples removed from the component suffuses or from small material zones such as the heat effected zone (HAZ) or from the weld metal (WM) of welded joints. The specimen is loaded using four loading pins connected to flexible loading joints, under high temperature and stress levels, until the rupture of the specimen. The specimen deformation is recorded throughout the test duration and then converted to the corresponding uniaxial date using conversion relationships. The converted test results than used to obtain the creep strength and to determine the remaining life time for the components.

Abstract: A system and method for scan testing an NCDL and latches controlled by the NCDL is presented herein. Wherein the NCDL is controlled by control logic, a switch is used to control the latches by a clock signal that is not controlled by the control logic. A controllability circuit provides test vectors to, and controls, the NCDL. The outputs of the NCDL are observed by an observability circuit that captures the outputs of the NCDL.
