Abstract: A system is provided to monitor targeted pest populations, disease, presence of transgenic and non-transgenic plants, or targeted pest population in a transgenic crop using remote imagery to discern differences in crops along with pest infestation in all crop varieties. The system relies on the fact that plant leaves are known to change color based on stress, herbivory, and other environmental factors. The system provides a special camera that can see reflected light energy across the visible and near infrared (about 400-1000 nm) to identify these effects.

Abstract: This invention sets forth a commercially viable diesel combustion system that meets environmentally acceptable levels of NOx emissions (i.e. 0.2g/bhp-hr or lower across a full map of engine speeds and loads) without the need for use of Nox aftertreatments, and simultaneously maintains engine-out PM emissions relatively close (e.g. with smoke levels at or below 3 BSN) to environmentally acceptable PM post-aftertreatment levels. The invention achieves these results by operating within a unique combination of parameters. These parameters comprise: (1) charge-air oxygen concentration below 16% preferably between 10% and 15%, more preferably between 11.5% and 14%, and most preferably between 12% and 13.5% for virtually all engine operating conditions (but not necessarily at no-load or low load conditions), (2) fuel injection pressures at or exceeding 1800 bar, preferably exceeding 2100 bar, more preferably exceeding 2300 bar, and most preferably exceeding 2500 bar, at most engine speeds an loads, and (3) charge-air mass/fuel mass ratio between 25:1 and 45:1 for medium and high loads. Furthermore, the system is preferably run continuously slightly lean of stoichiometry, providing just enough excess oxygen to facilitate completeness of combustion and to maintain an exhaust oxygen concentration sufficient for continuous trap regeneration at a balance point in operation.

Abstract: An engine has a plurality of combustion cylinders with a first piston (3) reciprocably mounted in each of the combustion cylinders in the conventional manner. The engine head has, in communication with each of the combustion cylinders, a cylindrical recess (14) containing a reciprocably mounted second piston (17). On the side of the second piston (17) opposite the combustion chamber is a control chamber (19) with inlets and outlets for controlling movement of the second piston (17). The second piston (17) is used to increase the compression ratio without appreciably reducing the expansion ratio. Alternatively, the second piston (17) may be used as a pump to pump fluid from the control chamber (19). In yet another alternative method of operation, the second piston (17) can be driven outward within the cylindrical recess (14) to an extent which varies in accordance with power demand, thereby varying the compression ratio in accordance with the power demand.

Abstract: A 22 kD sperm protein, SP-22, correlates with fertility and predicts fertility of males. The protein can be assayed to detect decreases in fertility resulting from exposure to toxicants and polluants which are known or suspected to decrease fertility. If an antibody is generated to this protein, the antibody recognition by sperm in an epididymal sperm sample or ejaculate would reflect the fertility of the sample. This antibody can be used as a contraceptive to inactivate sperm, screen for toxicity, select animals for artificial insemination, and select men for assisted reproductive technologies. The protein itself can be inactivated by gene knockout, which is another approach to contraception, or the protein can be added to sperm from infertile men to make fertility techniques more feasible.

Abstract: Water is introduced into the flue gas effluent leaving the flame zone (12) of any type of thermal destruction device (1) (such as an incinerator, boiler, or cement, aggregate or rotary kiln) being fed any kind of waste (such as hazardous, medical, municipal, mixed (radioactive) or mixtures thereof). The water provides both atomic oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals which attack the organic molecules of the waste feed stream (2) that survive the flame environment, thereby essentially eliminating the organic products of incomplete combustion (PICs) that would otherwise result.

Abstract: A system for forming a blocking layer of water-saturated soil (38) surrounding the foundation (52) of a building (50) to be protected from ingress of radon gas or other soil gas contaminant. The system includes at least one set of parallel positive (20) and negative (10) electrodes positioned in the soil (35) adjacent and spaced from the foundation (52). Typically, the negative electrode (10) will be positioned closest to the foundation (52). A low level voltage is applied to the electrodes from a DC power source (30). One or more sets of such electrodes will be positioned in the soil (35) surrounding the foundation (52) or at least that portion of the foundation most susceptible to gas ingress.

Abstract: Microfabricated PM sensors measure concentrations of particulate matter (PM) in air. Some sensors improve the accuracy of measurements by accounting for the effect of ambient conditions (e.g., temperature or humidity) on mass-sensitive elements employed to determine a mass of the PM in a stream of air. Some sensors improve the accuracy of measurements by controlling humidity in the stream of air measured by mass-sensitive elements. Some sensors employ a plurality of mass-sensitive elements to extend the useful life of the PM sensor. Some sensors employ one or more mass-sensitive elements and heating elements to cause deposition and allow measurement of different sizes of PM. Some sensors can measure mass concentration of coarse PM in addition to fine PM in a stream of air. Some sensors control the flow rate of a stream of air measured by mass-sensitive elements. Some sensors include features to mitigate electromagnetic interference or electromagnetic signal loss.

Abstract: Embodiments for retaining the spherical ball of a piston connecting rod within a socket in a bore in a drive plate of a bent-axis pump/motor comprise swaging material at the periphery of the socket cavity toward the ball, to an outer diameter such that the swaged region is fully supported against pullout by the cylindrical, wall of the bore. Alternatively, a retention ring which is fully supported by the walls of the cylindrical bore retains the ball within the socket and is in turn retained by a snap ring extending into a groove within the bore.
