20090120415 | APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING EFFICIENCY AND EMISSIONS OF COMBUSTION - An apparatus improves the efficiency and emissions of a combustion process by producing sufficient amounts of ozone in the air flow to the combustion chamber to enable more complete and cleaner combustion of the fuel. A plurality of ozone elements for producing ozone are disposed within a housing that is placed in the air intake to a combustion chamber such as a diesel engine. The ozone elements are bonded together in a cross-shaped pattern inside the housing. The apparatus includes one or more vortex scrubbers or vanes in the housing to cause the air flow to have a vortex action to increase the amount of ozone that flows into the combustion chamber. The vortex scrubbers comprise multiple double fins that are attached inside the housing. The vortex scrubbers include holes and/or serrated edges to increase the disturbance of the air flow over the ozone elements to increase ozone production.

20120134301 | WIDE AREA VOICE ENVIRONMENT MULTI-CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and method is described for establishing a homogenized communications infrastructure that enables a variety of disparate communication devices to communicate transparently with each other over a computer data network. The system and method allow for such communications to take place by converting all communications from all participants in the form of audio, video, textual, and binary data messages into discrete data units that are carried over a computer data network. These communications are propagated to other participants by relay to their particular devices in such a way that individual participants are insulated from the type and implementation of all other participants' devices. | 05-31-2012 |

20110140706 | Particle-Based Electrostatic Sensing and Detection - An apparatus and methods for electrostatic-based sensing and detection of charges and charged materials displayed on a surface. In a general embodiment, a method for electrostatically sensing charges or charged materials by comparing the electrostatic interaction between a capture surface and a reference surface. Assays to detect binding or interactions between a capture surface and a material to be detected are also described. We also describe a sensitive and label-free electrostatic readout of DNA or RNA hybridization in a microarray format and using a microfluidic device. The electrostatic properties of the hybridized particles are measured using the positions and motions of charged microspheres. This approach enables sensitive, non-destructive electrostatic imaging. Changes in surface charge density as a result of specific molecular interaction can be detected and quantified with great sensitivity, and in the presence of a complex background. | 06-16-2011 |
