Abstract: The planter system using waste materials repurpose waste materials to construct a self-irrigating planter that promotes plant growth in a protective environment. The planter system includes a water reservoir constructed from scrap tire defining a hollow interior serving as water storage, the reservoir being buried in soil. A condensation funnel having a sloped condensation skirt extends into the center opening of the scrap tire to direct condensate into the water reservoir. A root ball cover made from scrap newspaper covers the root system of a plant, and the plant is buried in the center opening of the scrap tire. A soil protection cover is placed atop the root ball cover to protect the soil of the root ball, and a support tube extends therefrom to protect the stem of the plant from environmental conditions. A valve regulates delivery of water to the reservoir. Most components are made from scrap plastic.

Abstract: The electrical outlet safety device is placed between an electrical plug and the corresponding electrical outlet or receptacle to which the plug is connected. The safety device includes a thin body portion formed of a material adapted to expand rapidly if exposed to a predetermined temperature. A series of thin, electrically and thermally conductive blades extends from the body, with the blades being captured between the prongs of the plug and the internal contacts of the receptacle when installed therewith. If excessively high electrical resistance and correspondingly high temperature are produced in one or more of the electrical connections between the plug and the outlet, the blades of the safety device transmit the excessive temperature to the body, whereupon the body is transformed to an expansive electrically insulating foam that expels the plug from the receptacle. Springs may be included within the body to provide additional expansive force.

Abstract: The rotary mechanism with articulating rotor may be adapted as a pump or compressor when external power is applied to its shaft, as a motor when differential pressure is applied to its inlet and outlet ports, or as an internal combustion engine when provided with fuel, air, and ignition source. The mechanism includes an internal chamber having major and minor diameters. An articulating rotor having four linked segments rotates therein. The segments allow the rotor to articulate between square and rhomboid shapes as it rotates within the chamber, the rotor segments forming variable volume chamber portions as they rotate. The rotor segments are linked to the central shaft either by a transverse arm rotationally affixed to the central shaft and to diametrically opposed rotor segments, or by telescoping rods connecting the linked ends of the rotor segments to the central shaft.

Abstract: The method of controlling tomato plant viruses involves inoculation of an uninfected plant with a combination of a cucumber mosaic virus (CMV-KU1) associated with a naturally occurring benign viral satellite RNA with a mixture of two plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains, namely, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas rhizophilia, in order to protect plants from the virulent CMV virus while promoting plant growth, yield and fruit quality of the tomato that is lost due to the viral infection. The healthy plant leaves are inoculated with the CMV-KU1 virus at the dicotyledonary stage. Simultaneously, the roots of the tomato plants are inoculated with the PGPR mixture. The satellite RNA component of the combination protects plants against a virulent virus (CMV-16), while the PGPR component compensates for growth, yield, and quality loss of tomato seen in the presence of both CMV-KU1 and CMV-16, in addition to strengthening the protection of plants.

Abstract: A mooring device, mechanism, system and method for automatic boat docking. The automated boat docking system has a mooring device installed at a marina or at a boat ramp. The mooring device will have a rod installed, with a suction valve at the end of an arm connected to the rod. The suction valve is used to hold the boat in place. Once the suction valve is connected to the boat, the rod will move, and the arm will rotate the boat to where the boat will be docked or lifted safely.
