In a biological wastewater treatment system, the addition of an intermittently aerated second bioreactor to accomplish ammonium oxidation to predominately nitrite and then to achieve denitrification by introducing the effluent, containing nitrite, from the second bioreactor into the influent collection system or the head works of a wastewater treatment plant. Denitrification from nitrite occurs in the collection pipe using the influent organics as a carbon source.

A waste treatment process comprised of an ammonification system to convert soluble organic nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen, followed by a physico-chemical process to remove a substantial amount of the ammonia as a recovered ammonium sulfate fertilizer or ammonium hydroxide (“aqua ammonia”), and followed by an ammonia oxidation process to oxidize the remaining ammonia from the physico-chemical process. The process reduces ammonia and carbonaceous organic matter to less than 10 mg/l and recovers ammonia in the form of either ammonium sulfate or ammonium hydroxide.

Pyrolysis methods for disassociating an organic mass, or coating from an article, by placing the article in an air tight processing chamber, circulating a gaseous mixture of ambient air and at least 40% water vapor from an opening, through the processing chamber and out of an exhaust port, and maintaining the processing chamber at a temperature above 650 degrees Fahrenheit for a sufficient time to disassociate the organic material. A batch oven and a continuous processing oven including entrance and exit air closures that utilize the pyrolysis methods are described.

The present invention provides an OLED panel and the package method thereof. The OLED panel comprises: a substrate 40, multiple OLED devices 42 formed on the substrate 40, a package cover 20 attached oppositely to the substrate 40 and multiple sealed plastic frame 60 provided between the substrate 40 and the package cover 20 and corresponding to the OLED device 42. The package cover 20 is provided with multiple protrusions 42 corresponding to the multiple OLED devices 22. A groove 24 is formed around the protrusion 22. The sealed plastic frame 60 is located in the groove 24. The lower surface of the protrusion 22 is close to the upper surface of the OLED device 42.

A process of forming a thin film photoactive layer of an optoelectronic device comprising: providing a substrate having a surface comprising or coated with a metal M selected from at least one of Pb, Sn, Ge, Si, Ti, Bi, or In; and converting the metal surface or metal coating of the substrate to a perovskite layer.

Methods and systems are provided for operating a split exhaust engine system that provides blowthrough air and exhaust gas recirculation to an intake passage via a first exhaust manifold and exhaust gas to an exhaust passage via a second exhaust manifold. In one example, one or more valves of a set of first exhaust valves coupled to the second exhaust manifold may be deactivated in response to select engine operating conditions, while maintaining active all valves of a set of second exhaust valves coupled to the first exhaust manifold. The select engine operating conditions may include one or more of a deceleration fuel shut-off condition, a part throttle condition, and a cold start condition.

An emergency oxygen system is provided for aircraft passengers. The system includes at least one oxygen mask (2), with a sensor (4) for detecting at least one breathing characteristic value of a passenger using this oxygen mask (2). A control unit (10) individually determines the oxygen requirement of the passenger on account of the detected breathing characteristic value. A dosing device (8) is actuated by the control unit (10). The dosing device (8) supplies an oxygen quantity corresponding to the determined oxygen requirement, to the oxygen mask (2).

An inexpensive, easily manufactured aquaculture apparatus featuring a water temperature control feature, useful for studying the effect of water temperature changes on the viability of aquatic species. The apparatus is useful to, for example, study the potential effect of global warming and rising ocean water temperatures on various aquatic species.

The invention discloses a stimulation device comprising: a belt (10) containing at least two vibration modules (5, 7, 9), wherein each of the at least two vibration modules (5, 7, 9) comprises: a pod (4) with a casing (6, 26) and a vibration pad (24) arranged within the casing (6, 26), and a vibration motor (20) with a flywheel (28) within the housing (6, 26), a control panel (15) operating said vibration motors (20) of the at least two vibration modules (5, 7, 9); wherein the vibration motors (20) are mounted to the vibration pad (24) via at least one elastic motor housing (22). The invention further discloses the use of such a device for treating hypoventilation and respiratory depression and a method of treating hypoventilation and respiratory depression by fastening a belt (10) to the abdomen of a user and operating the belt (10), wherein the at least two vibration modules are externally applied to an abdominal region of a user to stimulate the diaphragm, to enhance pulmonary function.

A cap arranged to interact with a spout has a top portion, a sidewall portion depending from the top portion and formed in one piece therewith. The sidewall portion has an interior threading arranged to interact with exterior threading of the neck during an opening operation and during a closing operation. The cap further has a tamper evidence, which is removably attached to the sidewall portion having cutting elements with a first end hingedly attached to the sidewall portion and a free end portion arranged to interact with a membrane portion of the spout. The hinged attachment allows for the cutting element to pivot in an axial direction. Further, the free end portion has a blunt tip and a comparatively sharper cutting edge on a lateral side of the free end portion.

The present invention provides a novel process for synthesis of a copper-alloy particle with improved grain boundary properties. The process comprises the steps of: forming a solution from an alcoholic agent and a branched dispersing agent; forming a reaction mixture with the solution and a copper precursor and optionally a nickel precursor; heating the reaction mixture; cooling the reaction mixture; adding an additional amount of copper precursor and at least one precursor selected from the group consisting of: nickel, zinc, and bismuth; heating the reaction mixture; and maintaining the reaction mixture for a time sufficient to reduce the reaction mixture to copper-alloy particles.

Provided are a concrete manufacturing method capable of preventing neutralization of concrete and oxidation of a reinforcing rod in reinforced concrete, and a method for manufacturing a reinforced concrete structure using the same. The concrete manufacturing method uses nitrogen dissolved water and is characterized by including: a step of generating nitrogen dissolved water by injecting nitrogen gas into water to replace oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in the water with nitrogen; and a step of generating a ready-mixed concrete by kneading the nitrogen dissolved water, cement, an aggregate, and an admixture. The method for manufacturing a reinforced concrete structure is characterized by forming a reinforced concrete structure using a ready-mixed concrete manufactured by a concrete manufacturing method using nitrogen dissolved water.
