摘要:
A smart water timer which includes a water timer, a receiving unit connected to the water timer, and a moisture sensing unit which is in wireless communication with the receiving unit. The smart water timer can sense when the moisture level in the soil is too moist (based on a user setting) and turn off a water supply to a sprinkler as a result A soil moisture sensing unit is placed in the soil in the area to be watered. The soil moisture sensing unit uses a moisture sensing probe and wirelessly transmits a data signal to the receiver, which is connected to the water timer, indicating whether or not the water timer should be permitted to open a water valve.
摘要:
The octane requirement increase phenomenon in a spark ignition internal combustion engine is controlled by introducing with the combustion charge a fuel composition containing an octane requirement increase-inhibiting amount of a combination of compounds, the combination comprising (1) a gasoline soluble amide and (2) a gasoline soluble ketone. Usually the two compounds are each added to the fuel in a concentration between about 0.001 and 3 weight percent of the fuel. In particular, the combination of N,N-dibutyl formamide and either benzophenone or methylcyclohexanone provides an effective octane requirement increase-inhibiting additive for unleaded gasoline.

摘要:
A prostatic treatment system is provided for applying a transurethral therapy to an organ of a living body with a pressure-pulse-massage via a treatment fluid. The treatment system includes a treatment device to apply therapeutic treatment through pressure-pulse variables including at least one of fluid pressure pulse, pulse amplitude, pulse shape, and pulse frequency. A treatment set is operably coupled to the treatment device to deliver treatment fluid to the treatment device. A flow restrictor is associated with the treatment set for creating a positive pressure in the treatment device. A a control unit independently controls at least one of the pressure-pulse variables.
摘要:
The control of the octane requirement increase phenomenon in an internal combustion engine is achieved by introducing into an internal combustion engine, having manifold and/or combustion surfaces which inhibit the formation of engine deposits, along with the combustion charge, a fuel composition containing an octane requirement increase-inhibiting amount of (a) an oil-soluble iron compound and (b) carboxylic acids and/or ester derivatives thereof. In particular the esters of a tertiary alcohol and an unsubstituted, mono-carboxylic acid having at least two carbon atoms, e.g., t-butylacetate, in combination with dicyclopentadienyl iron provides an effective octane requirement increase-inhibiting additive for said internal combustion engine. Preferably the manifold and combustion surfaces of said internal combustion engine are coated with a low density alumina or zirconia coating. More preferably said alumina or zirconia coating further comprises a carbon gasification catalyst, e.g. a nickel, cobalt and manganese-containing catalyst or an iron, copper and cerium-containing catalyst, dispersed therein.
