Abstract: A method for stimulation of gas hydrocarbon production via imbibition by utilization of surfactants. The method includes use of fuzzy logic and neural network architecture constructs to determine surfactant use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and for enhancing productivity of ruminant animals. Particularly, a method comprising determining particular corn hybrids of specific endosperm type and NDF content for use as silage and/or a grain supplement and combining other diet components to form a feed ration that optimizes the site of starch digestion, and a feed made using the method of the invention.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for modulating light emitted by an at least one LEDs using a pulse skip modulation technique (PSM). The apparatus having an at least one first LED adapted to output at least first radiation having a first spectrum, an at least one second LED adapted to output second radiation having a second spectrum different than the first spectrum, and at least one controller coupled to the at least one first LED and the at least one second LED and configured to communicate with an at least one controller, the at least one controller further configured to independently control at least a first intensity of the first radiation and a second intensity of the second radiation, wherein the at least one controller is configured to implement a pulse skip modulation (PSM) technique to control at least the first intensity of the first radiation and the second intensity of the second radiation.

Abstract: A control system for a heating, ventilating or air conditioning HVAC system includes a remote command receiver for receiving HVAC system instructions for the HVAC system; and conditioning HVAC system, including a remote command receiver for receiving HVAC system instructions for the HVAC system; and a control module, including (i) a speech receiving member for receiving speech commands; and (ii) a converter for converting the speech commands to HVAC system instructions; wherein the module is communicated with the receiver for conveying the HVAC system instructions from the module to the receiver.

Abstract: A method and for mounting a flat printing plate on a cantilevered plate cylinder of a printing press, particularly in a lithographic web-fed rotary printing press. The printing plate is bent into an essentially cylindrical shape and inserted into a hollow tube. The tube and plate are slid from the side over a mandrel mounted on the plate cylinder. The mandrel expands the printing plate to a condition where the mandrel has an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the tube and which is larger than the outer diameter of the plate cylinder. The tube and printing plate are slid down the length of the plate cylinder, and the ends of the plate are then locked using a lock-up device. The tube is then removed from the plate cylinder. Air bearings may be used on the mandrel or the plate cylinder, and the mandrel may be expandable.
