Abstract:
Landfills and their methods of operation are disclosed. Through the controlled introduction of septage into solid municipal waste, refuse decomposes faster to achieve additional landfill space. A business method of operating the landfill is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention described herein is an apparatus for accessing an information repository, including computer readable program code stored on computer readable media, where the computer readable program code includes code for organizing information stored in the information repository into a hierarchy. The hierarchy is a hierarchy of a number of derived containers that are generated in conformance with an information model which is a hierarchy of container definition nodes. Each of the derived containers corresponds to a different one of the container definition nodes, represents a category of information in the information repository, and has contents which can be other derived containers and/or information extracted from the information repository.
Abstract:
A point of sale computer system that allows a customer to select and consummate a sale himself. The system may include graphics storage media configured to store two- and three-dimensional graphics data relating to the sale, as well as business rules storage media, configured to store business rules that specify the graphics that should be displayed during the selection and consummation process based on input received from the customer. The technology allows a presentation to be made to the customer that is entertaining and that maintains the attention of the customer throughout the sale selection and consummation process.

Abstract:
A bed check device having a force sensing resistor; a resistor divider; a microprocessor; an analog to digital converter; a power supply; a wireless transmitter; and an antenna wherein the force sensing resistor is in mechanical contact with a bed, such that a change in force to the bed corresponds to a change in its resistance and voltage, which is analyzed and acted upon by the resistor divider, microprocessor, analog to digital converter, power supply, wireless transmitter, and antenna.

Abstract:
A contamination barrier for protecting heat exchanger units, for example, condensers of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The contamination barrier includes a filtration media which allows particles small enough to pass through a condenser assembly to pass through the contamination barrier, while preventing larger particles from passing therethrough. The contamination barrier inhibits the buildup of debris and other contamination within the condenser assembly while reducing or eliminating the need to clean the barrier, and without significantly reducing airflow through the condenser assembly, thereby promoting the ability of the condenser assembly to maintain operational efficiency. The contamination barrier is adaptable to be applied to a variety of heat exchanger units.
