    摘要: A weather resistant modular sensor and computing platform reduces costs and enhances versatility of sensor systems. Rapidly evolving electronic technology results in hyper-obsolescence wherein sensor systems that are state of the art technology when designed, fall behind the art quickly as new transducers, batteries and components are developed. A cylindrical shaped modular system provides an architecture for up-grading sensors, batteries, special modules, communications, and control. A modular architecture extends the life cycle of a system and avoids hyper-obsolescence and the requirement to design a complete new system to incorporate new technology. Modularity and low cost manufacturing methods enable the practical definition of a cylindrical computer. The cylinder shaped enclosures have on their ends a common connection interface to which modules may be added. This provides a long system life cycle and wide ranging versatility. The size of the platform is not restricted. Larger systems are capable of supporting more sophisticated processing. A scaled up version of the modular platform provides an outdoor weather resistant community computing server.

    摘要: A reflected color simulator is disclosed which utilizes a plurality of color discs positioned adjacent to one another wherein each disc includes several individual sections which are interleaved with respect to the other color discs such that rotational movement of the discs with respect to one another will vary the percentage of color from each disc which contributes to the color displayed when the discs are spun together. The entire group of discs, which could be of any number but preferably 6 or 7, are rotated by a main drive device to mix the colors so exposed to form the desired color by reflected simulation. An observer when viewing the spinning group of color discs will see a reflected color which is determined by the exposed percentages of each color disc. Each of the color discs preferably is of a different color and individual control of rotation of each disc is achieved in a remote fashion in order to allow independent rotation of the discs even during simultaneous rotation of all the discs to simulate the reflected colors. This remote control is achieved by including a plurality of drums oriented concentrically about the main drive shaft wherein each drum is fixedly secured at the forward end to one of the color discs such that rotation of one of the drums causes a relative rotation of one of the color discs with respect to the others.

    摘要: A process for extracting a fat from a feedstock (e.g., chocolate liquor), includes mixing the feedstock with a liquefied gas solvent (e.g., butane), filtering, washing the retentate with additional solvent, refiltering, drying, granulating, aerating the granulate, and separating the fat from the solvent in the original filtrate. The mixing, filtering, washing, refiltering, drying, and granulating are conducted under an atmosphere consisting essentially of the solvent vapor. An improved solvent extraction process includes repeatedly loading and unloading an extractor with solvent and feedstock to extract fat from the feedstock, wherein throughout loading, extracting, unloading and repeating: (a) a pressure in the extractor is continuously maintained above atmospheric pressure; (b) the extractor is continuously maintained under an oxygen-free atmosphere; and/or (c) the extractor is continuously maintained under an atmosphere consisting essentially of a vapor of the solvent.

    摘要: A data processing security device, attached to computing equipment, inserts labels into a data stream that indicate security controls for the data. The security device may also be configured to detect security labels within a data stream and inhibit the flow of data. It also may replace data within a data stream if it detects labeled fields which indicate that privacy should be imposed.

    摘要: An automatic choke system for automatically adjusting the amount of choke applied to a series of shots discharged from shotgun. The automatic choke system includes a tube assembly with a plurality of longitudinal slits within the distal end thereof, a collar unit attached about the tube assembly, and a swedge assembly slidably positioned between the tube assembly and the collar unit. A latch unit attached to the collar unit selectively allows the swedge assembly to move forwardly one position after each shot fired. The latch unit is operated by gas flow from the interior of the barrel of the shotgun during a shot.

    摘要: An apparatus configured to provide standing water at convenient locations for the use of mosquitoes to lay eggs. After eggs are deposited in the development cycle of the egg, the larva, pupa, adult life stage are interrupted by denying the proper environment to sustain their development. Also disclosed is an apparatus to abate mosquito populations which provides a convenient and attractive reservoir of liquid situated to encourage use by mosquitoes for egg laying. At intervals the liquid in the reservoir is flushed or filtered eliminating mosquito biomass developing in the liquid. The bio-matter is substantially removed and aborts the development of the bio-matter into adult insects.
