摘要:
A method is disclosed in which the shape is selected and the soil composition is adjusted on a sloped treatment cell so that downward migration of moisture during the treatment of contaminated soil is minimized. The need to use a plastic liner is thus avoided.

A valve assembly is provided for controlling the flow of liquid accumulated in a closed vessel through a drain port in the bottom wall of the vessel. The assembly includes a body member having a first section disposed within the drain port. The body member has a second section extending outwardly from the first section. The first and second sections are provided with a first passage for air venting the vessel interior, a second passage for controlled draining of the accumulated liquid from the vessel interior, and a common opening, the latter having an exposed end. Adjustably mounted on the body member is a valve member having a first segment adjustably disposed with respect to the opening of the body member and a second segment projecting outwardly from the first segment and subtending the body member second section. The valve member second segment is provided with first and second passages corresponding with the first and second passages of the body member. Seal elements are provided on the body member second section and in encompassing relation with ends of the first and second passages formed in the body member. When the valve member is in one position of adjustment, the corresponding first and second passages communicate with one another thereby effecting drainage of the accumulated liquid. When in a second position of adjustment, at least the corresponding first passages are not in communication whereby no drainage occurs.

摘要:
Apparatus and method whereby ultra low frequency dielectric measurements allow a determination to be made of the parameters (dielectric constant, thickness and conductivity) characterizing electrically distinct layers with membranes such as bimolecular lipid or protein membranes (i.e. the major components of the membranes of living cells).The location and effect of chemicals such as anaesthetics, tranquilizers, hormones and other substances of pharmacological and general biological interest which are adsorbed into these or other membranes can be determined. The effects of these chemicals can be quantitatively specified in terms of this effect of the substructural dielectric parameters.
摘要:
A split multipiece flanged journal bearing for use as an engine crankshaft thrust-journal bearing or the like wherein the thrust flanges and journal bearing shells are semi-cylindrical and have interlocking means to prevent rotational motion of the thrust flange relative to the respective bearing shell and with potential replacement interchangeability so that any worn or damaged parts may be replaced without changing the whole bearing and so that any one or all thrust flanges may be replaced without removing the crankshaft from the engine and wherein the notch and interlocking lug at one end of a particular combination of thrust flange and bearing shell is of greater arc length than those at the other end to provide a fail-safe feature to assure correct assembly.
摘要:
A septic tank system includes a multiple compartmented (or chambered) supplemental tank. The supplemental tank has a cover/lid with a plurality of strategically situated access holes (both small and large ports) for servicing the various chambers from above ground.
摘要:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product code for temporal, event-based video fingerprinting. In one embodiment, events in video content are detected. The video content comprises a plurality of video frames. An event represents discrete points of interest in the video content. A set of temporal, event-based segments are generated using the events. Each temporal, event-based segment is a segment of the video content covering a set of events. A time series signal is derived from each temporal, event-based segment using temporal tracking of content-based features of a set of frames associated with the each temporal, event-based segment. A temporal segment based fingerprint is extracted based on the time series signal for the each temporal, event-based segment to form a set of temporal segment based fingerprints associated with the video content.
摘要:
Interoperability is enabled between participants in a network by determining values associated with a value metric defined for at least a portion of the network. Information flow is directed between two or more of the participants based at least in part on semantic models corresponding to the participants and on the values associated with the value metric. The semantic models may define interactions between the participants and define at least a portion of information produced or consumed by the participants. The determination of the values and the direction of the information flow may be performed multiple times in order to modify the one or more value metrics. The direction of information flow may allow participants to be deleted from the network, may allow participants to be added to the network, or may allow behavior of the participants to be modified.
摘要:
A computer program product includes machine readable instructions for managing data items, the instructions stored on machine readable media, the product including instructions for: initializing a plurality of base models; minimizing a joint loss function to select models from the plurality for a plurality of labels associated with the data items; and at least one of sharing and combining the selected base models to formulate a composite classifier for each label. A computer system and additional computer program product are provided.
摘要:
Wastewater treatment systems, methods and apparatus for polishing a wastewater stream comprising a plurality of contaminants are provided. One system includes a vessel containing a plurality of natural media filtration agents selected to remove selected ones of the plurality of contaminants from the wastewater stream. In one embodiment, the vessel includes a bed of bauxite residue and at least one other natural media filtration agent. In another embodiment, the vessel includes a bed of compost and at least one other natural media filtration agent. The vessel includes a wastewater inlet that is in fluid communication with one or more of the natural media filtration agents. The vessel includes a wastewater outlet that is in fluid communication with one or more of the natural media filtration agents.
