    Abstract: A method of determining an effective atomic number, Zeff, of an object may include obtaining a plurality of radiographic images of the object. Each radiographic image can be obtained using a different independent X-ray energy level. An intensity value for each pixel in a region of interest in each radiographic image can be determined. A plurality of measured ratios, R, can be formed using attenuation coefficients from a pair of different radiographic images. At least one adjusted measured ratio, Rm, can be calculated based on the plurality of measured ratios, R, and at least one corresponding estimation coefficient, α. Zeff values can be assigned based on a comparison of the at least one adjusted measured ratio, Rm to a material attenuation database.

    Abstract: A coring rod support wheel that has a relatively large smooth outer surface and a hollow hub that is rigidly held within it. The axis of the hollow hub is parallel to the axis of the wheel but not necessarily the same as the axis of the wheel. The diameter of the hub is sufficient for a coring rod to slide freely through it. Once the coring rod has been slid through the hub, the coring rod any coring knife attached to it are supported and guided by the wheel.

    Abstract: Piping is laid horizontally underground, by horizontally entering a rod that is longer than the site, into the site, at the desired depth of the center of the piping tunnel, and then horizontally pushing that rod through the site, until its front end exits the back of the site. Then attaching three rods near the front end of the first rod, and bringing all four rods back through the site, until the first rod exits the front of the site, and the other three rods are embedded in their own paths in the site, with their front ends extending into the front of the site, and their back ends extending into the back of the site. Then, at the back of the site, attaching a push-pull type earth coring knife to the middle of the three rods, and connecting a front cutting and shielding means, between the two outer rods, so that it is situated immediately behind the front cutting portion of the coring knife. Then, placing a piece of the piping inside the back of the front cutting and shielding means so that it abuts the front cutting and shielding means and cannot be moved forward without it also moving the front cutting and shielding means forward. Then, placing a pulling and holding means over the back of the piece of pipe, so that it abuts the back of the piece of pipe, and cannot be moved forward without also moving the piece of pipe forward with it. Then attaching the pulling and holding means, between the two outer rods, near their ends. Then, by pulling the rods back through the site, pulling the coring knife, the pulling and holding means, the piece of pipe, and the front cutting and shielding means, into and through the site.

    Abstract: A push-on filler neck cap for a fill passageway of a tank. The cap is provided with a push top and a dependent housing sized to fit within the fill passageway and with a fill passageway seal that is located at the lower inserted end of the housing and wherein the can is also provided with a restraining mechanism located between the push top and the fill passageway seat for securing the cap to the passageway in a sealed manner. The restraining mechanism is defined by a plurality of lugs which: 1) engage into a recess in the fill passageway; 2) pivot outward from the housing to engage the recess in response to movement of a spring biased lever pivotedly mounted to the push top with the recess; and (3) are biased to pivot outwardly for engagement with the recess by a spring located within the housing, which spring also urges the seal into its sealing relationship within the fill passageway.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of beverage supplements. Provided by aspects of the invention are compositions for and methods of enhancing the flavor of a beverage by suspending fruit particles in the beverage just prior to consumption. Suspended fruit particles enhance the consumer's drinking experience by refreshing the flavor of the beverage with each sip. Fruit particles can be distributed in a beverage at different levels by altering the physical properties and composition of the fruit pieces. In one embodiment, the fruit pieces can be dehydrated to different levels. Alternatively, or in addition, embodiments of the present invention provide dehydrated fruit matter, which can be coated or processed with edible material to provide fruit particles of different weights such that the particles suspend at different levels when added to a beverage. As the consumer drinks the beverage, a relatively even distribution of beverage bits will be consumed.

    Abstract: An infrared (IR) scene projector device includes a light emitter and a thermal emitter. The light emitter is configured to selectably provide visible light. The thermal emitter includes a vertically aligned carbon nanotube (VACN) array. The VACN array includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes disposed proximate to a thermally conductive substrate, such that a longitudinal axis of the carbon nanotubes extends substantially perpendicular to a surface of the substrate. The thermal emitter absorbs the visible light from the light emitter and converts the visible light from the light emitter into IR radiation.
