Abstract: A system for recording the wasting of fluids includes a waste disposal unit and a sensor system, having a sensor. The sensor can have one or more sensor elements in fluid communication with a fluid as it is wasted from a container into the waste disposal unit. The sensor system is configured to identify one or more drugs within the fluid and record the identity of the one or more drugs in a computer-readable medium electrically coupled to the sensor system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring the use of a fluid over the lifecycle of the fluid, said systems including a plurality of fluid identification stations, each station having one or more sensors to detect and identify a parameter of a fluid, wherein a each station is operably interconnected thereby permitting each station to access and verify the identity of a fluid as determined by each independent fluid identification station.

Abstract: An attachment device for identifying one or more constituents within a fluid includes a first end configured to selectively attach to an opening of a container holding a fluid, and a sensor coupled to the attachment body. The sensor further includes one or more sensor elements positioned to detect and analyze a fluid within the container. The sensor is further configured to perform one or more tests on the fluid, wherein the one or more tests are useful in identifying one or more constituents within the fluid.

Abstract: A device and method of measuring the speed of an object such as a foot is provided which can accurately determine lateral or other movements. The device employs optical sensor circuits which determine object impact on a pair of separate, spaced pads. Electrical circuitry includes a microcontroller which directs signals to an LCD display and a speaker for audio interpretation for the test subject.

Abstract: A landscape sprinkler system employs a first fixed vertical riser, typically attached to an inverted T-coupling, extending from a buried water supply pipe array. A second vertical riser having a sprinkler head connected to its top end and being of smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the first riser is telescopically movable up and down within the first riser to an infinite number of positions relative to the first riser. An annular nut and seal surround the second riser and the nut is threaded on the top of the first riser to seal and hold the second riser thereto. When adjacent shrubbery or landscaping grows to a height above the sprinkler head so as to interfere with the exiting sprinkler stream pattern, the nut is loosenable to adjust the height of the second riser and its connected sprinkler head above the height of the shrubbery and the nut retightened at that new position.

Abstract: A three stage rocket vehicle (11) having a large forward propellant tank (12) and a small aft propellant tank (13) axially aligned. Secured to the rear end of the aft propellant tank (13) is an engine mount structure (14) carrying rocket engines (15). Offset and secured to the propellant tanks (12,13) is a payload structure (18). The propellants from the large forward tank (12) are fed into the aft propellant tank (13) and the rocket engines (15) are fed propellants from the aft propellant tank (13). This arrangement enables the vehicle to parallel stage its use of engines and components.
