    摘要: Systems and methods of management of electronic office equipment through automated monitoring and reporting of usage and status are disclosed. A monitoring agent monitors electronic office equipment on a network and collects usage and status information to send to a control system. The control system can use the usage and status information to compile various reports responsive to the received information. The system allows for the automatic assessment, monitoring, re-supply, maintenance, and billing of networks of printing devices from a variety of different manufacturers. In some embodiments, the system enables a pay per use lease arrangement.

    摘要: A desalination system that is deployable in a body of water having a surface and a seafloor and which includes a vessel structure that is capable of travel in water, a reverse osmosis system disposed within an internal space of the vessel structure and a tank connected to the reverse osmosis system, the tank configured to receive filtered water from the reverse osmosis system. A positioning system is provided for controlling the travel of the vessel structure, and a ballast system is configured to control the buoyancy of the vessel structure. A controller is operably associated with the positioning system and the ballast system to control the position of the vessel below the surface of the body of water.

    摘要: A swim fin having articulating wing members articulated by means of clock washers or the like with respect to a foot pocket to provide, among other things, adjustment of pitch and tension of such wing members or other fin blade. A swim fin with articulating wing members may have a foot pocket with a forked end. Articulating wing members may then be attached to the fork stubs, there being right and left articulating wing members. Clock washers or the like may serve to provide stable and adjustable means by which the disposition of the individual articulating wing members may be selectably disposed with respect to the foot pocket. The wing members may provide more efficient propulsion for both short bursts and long range swimming. The swim fin of the present invention allows the swim kick to concentrate its energy in a more propulsive direction. An alternative embodiment of the present invention has individual webbed rails generally connected at their common base, but may be separated, or split, near their end. The rails are generally attached to the foot pocket in the manner similar to that for the articulating wing members. Other embodiments of the present invention also allow articulation about the clock washers, adjustably altering the pitch, tension, and/or geometry of the attached swim fin blade or blades.

    摘要: A uniquely configured fin (2) that has an open instep (60) and which is secured to the foot of the wearer by padded securement means (52) so as to accommodate a plurality of foot sizes and wherein the fin (2) is made in a two part single mold process. Protuberances (70) may be placed on selected drag surfaces of the fin (2) to act as vacuum breakers to reduce drag of the fin (2) as it propels a swimmer through the water.

    摘要: A swim fin having manually articulable water-channeling vanes. A swim fin attachable to a human extremity such as a foot has a front portion through which a plurality of holes are present. Circumscribing these holes are corresponding clock washers that provide intermittent stops when engaged by a complementing clock washer. Such a complementing clock washer is present in a water channeling vane that is affixed over the clock washers of the swim fin by a bolt that passes into a bore (which may be threaded) within the vane. Upon full threading of the vane upon the bolt, the complementing and opposing clock washers come into close contact with one another whereby the ridge of one clock washer fits into a corresponding furrow of the other. The vane is then temporarily locked into place with respect to the swim fin, however this temporary lock is overcome by rotational pressure generally available from a human hand. An alternative embodiment, the swim fins may be retrofitted for affixation of such water channeling vanes by means of a template in which holes are present that correspond to the appropriate position for holes in the swim fin. Clock washers may be attached as by adhesive to the swim fin, or may contact the swim fin through mutually roughened or knurled surfaces to increase the friction therebetween. In use, the vane can be adjusted in any direction by turning the vane with respect to the swim fin.
