Abstract:
A device for processing of frozen and/or semi-frozen material may resemble an autonomous vehicle having a container structure with at least one internal compartment, where the internal compartment is capable of heating the frozen and/or semi-frozen material, a mechanism that directs the frozen and/or semi-frozen material into at the internal compartment, and a transport mechanism that enables transfer of processed materials from the at least one internal compartment, and a dispersal system, where the dispersal system dispenses the processed material. The device may be programmed to traverse a preset or customized route. As the device travels through the route it collects snow, ice, slush, and the like, and processes the material. This reduces the presence of snow, slush, ice, and the like in an efficient and expeditious manner.
Abstract:
A computerized tire heating system is provided for. The system features a carcass with a tread, a sidewall and a bead, an inner tube having an inner volume, a first layer of thermal insulation, connected to said bead, a second later of thermal insulation, connected to said tread, a power source, and a heating system having more than one heating coil located in between the first layer of thermal insulation and the second layer of thermal insulation, where the heating system is connected to said power source. The computerized tire heating system may also have a heating gel located in the inner volume of the inner tube.
Abstract:

The gutter features a pipe having a first opening, second opening, and a wall with an integrated heater and a number of vents located closed to the first opening, a water receiving opening and a water expelling opening where the water receiving opening and the water expelling opening are the first and second openings; a thermal storage system located within the wall and below the number of vents; and an evaporating steam vent placed on the wall and below the thermal storage system. The present invention can also have vacuum mechanism with an included shredding mechanism and compost dispensary for the shredded components.
Abstract:
A law enforcement drone system is provided. The system features an unmanned aerial vehicle, having a wireless transceiver, an airframe, a propulsion system, a navigation mechanism, a processor, a memory, a power source, and at least one fuel tank. The system also features a control system having a wireless transceiver, an input device, capable of receiving a user's input and converting the user's input to electrical signals, a processor, and a memory. The control system is in wireless communication with the vehicle such that the control system is capable of utilizing the propulsion system in substantially real-time.
Abstract:
A method is provided of operating a cryogenic cooling system, in which a target region for receiving a sample is cooled by a dilution refrigerator containing an operational fluid. Firstly any operational fluid is removed from the dilution refrigerator. Target apparatus comprising the sample is loaded from a high temperature location to the target region. The target apparatus is then pre-cooled in the target region to a first temperature using a mechanical refrigerator. The operational fluid is then supplied to the dilution refrigerator and the dilution refrigerator operated so as to cool the target apparatus in the target location to a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature. A suitable system for performing the method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A composter for various organic debris is designed to remove such debris, namely yard waste and other organic materials, and promote an effective composting process. The composter may have a device mounted thereon to collect leaves, grasses, soil, and the like. A liquid treatment may be applied to the ground organic material to enhance the decomposition process. A heat treatment may also be applied to the organic matter. Other treatments may also be necessary depending on the intended results and the type of organic matter being processed. The composter may further then be capable of spreading the compost over a desired area either immediately or once sufficiently decomposed. The composter may be controlled via an application or via a built in interface.
Abstract:
A method of patterning a functional material (150) onto a substrate (100) comprises the steps of (a) applying a layer of protective material (130), soluble in a solvent in which the functional material is insoluble, to at least one major surface of said substrate; (b) removing areas of said layer (130) to gain access to the substrate in well-defined regions; (c) depositing the functional material (150) at least onto the substrate in the well-defined regions; and (d) removing the remaining layer of protective material from the substrate by dissolution in said solvent.
