A method of manufacturing a plurality of test strips is described where a web is formed containing conductive and base layers. A plurality of test strips are formed on the web by electrically isolating a first group of conductive components. Subsequently, a second group of conductive components are electrically isolated on the web by a different process. A test card for quality control analysis is...

Systems and methods for synchronising bookmarks between communications devices are provided. Bookmarks refer to user-defined and nicknamed URLs as local parameters in Browser software, also sometimes known as "Favourites". Real-time synchronisation of bookmarks is accomplished through an application of "push technology". Upon identifying a change in the set of bookmarks of a communications device,...

A storage rack apparatus incorporating a sliding frame apparatus. The frame apparatus is adjusted in a generally vertical direction by the application of vertical force and secured in position by the removal of such vertical force.

The invention relates to an electricity-producing steam power plant (100). The steam power plant (100) is an outwards closed hermetic structure which is supported on a pipe (23). It comprises inside a shell (23) of an electric generator (15) a stator (15a) of the electric generator and a rotating rotor (15b) on a shaft (16). In the structure, there is on the same shaft (16) a rotating steam turbin...

The system has a pump device for pumping a fuel from a low pressure region of the system to a high pressure region. A pressure storage system (13) is connected with injectors by a high pressure fuel line (10). The high pressure fuel line connects the pump device with the pressure storage system, where the high pressure fuel line stays permanently under high pressure. A casing (15) is attached to t...

A method of manufacturing a vapor-sensing device, including placing an aqueo us dispersion of colloidal spheres on a substrate, drying the aqueous dispersio n of colloidal spheres to obtain a colloidal crystal, filling the voids among the colloidal crystal with a vapor-expandable matrix composition, curing the vapor- expandable matrix composition, and peeling away any excess vapor-expandable matri...

The system integrates dissolved air flotation (DAF) with a biologically acti ve filter (or biofilter) to produce a treatment system. The DAF provides for effective removal of most particulates, whereas the biofilter enhances the removal of very fine particulate not efficiently removed by the DAF. The biofilter relies on the growth and proliferation of biofilm (attached colonies of micro-organisms)...

An optical radiation processing unit directs different wavelengths of the optical radiation emitted by an optical source to an object being measured from a direction that differs from the normal of a surface being measured so that the different wavelengths focus on different heights in the direction of the normal of the surface. A possible polarizer polarizes the reflected radiation in a direction...

A method of storage of an e-mail includes either receiving the e-mail at a portable electronic device or sending the e-mail from the portable electronic device. The e-mail is marked for saving at the portable electronic device and transmitted by radio communication for receipt by a server and for storage of the e-mail in a backup database.

This invention relates to the harnessing of the wind, this can be done many different ways, but what is unique about my invention is that it has a vertical frame structure that rotates and has vertical luovers on one side of each arm of the windmill, they are free to move 180 degrees or less to minimize wind resistance when the luovers go against the wind, an d when they rotate to the other side t...

A system and method for providing debug information in messages exchanged between two user agents in a session established in accordance with a sessio n initiation protocol (SIP). In an exemplary embodiment, a SIP request that comprises an additional debug header is generated by a user agent client, fo r transmission to a user agent server. The additional debug header can be used to provide inform...
