A control arrangement for a vehicle includes an infotainment console having a user interface with a plurality of pushbuttons. A communication device is communicatively coupled to the infotainment console and relays signals between the infotainment console and a portable computing device. The infotainment console reconfigures the user interface to enable the user to control the portable computing device via the user interface. Each of the pushbuttons is actuatable to cause operation of the portable computing device to proceed to a respective application within the portable computing device.

The invention is a centralized server-based system containing a database with relevant information regarding features, parameters, and characteristics of a particular irrigation system, which utilizes proprietary irrigation software to control a plurality of field modules, at one or more remote locations, via a network bridge adapter. An irrigation system may comprise a single server, or multiple servers that may be configured so that control of the entire system is centralized, and control of one or multiple irrigation locations may be accomplished remotely by wirelessly accessing, monitoring and controlling a location's field module matrix.

The present invention provides users with cloud-based high throughput computing system for integrative analyses of next generation sequencing genomic data, such that human cancer biomarkers and drug targets can be accurately and quickly identified.

The present invention relates to an exercise device, which includes a vacuum cylinder and a flywheel. The flywheel provides an inertial component to the load, which is particularly well suited for use in space as it simulates exercising under normal gravity conditions. Also, the present invention relates to an exercise device, which has a vacuum cylinder and a load adjusting armbase assembly.

A duct and ventilation system for livestock production buildings. The building comprises a plurality of containment rooms for livestock, a pit beneath the room, an attic above the rooms, a ventilation duct for each room and a ventilation house coupled to the pit. The containment rooms have slatted floors. The attic includes a vent. Each ventilation duct includes a manually actuable air flow control valve. The ventilation house includes an exhaust fan and is adapted to draw air through the vent and through the attic to one of the ventilation ducts and into one of the rooms through the slatted floor and out via the ventilation house. The building may include a manifold area adjacent the rooms and in fluid communication with the attic. Ventilation ducts comprise a laminar polymer sheet having a generally rectangular shape and forming a corner generally parallel to first and second side edges, a second laminar and planar polymer sheet having a first edge and a second edge, and a plurality of brackets. The first edge of the second sheet attaches to the first sheet such that the second sheet is substantially parallel to the corner. The brackets position the first sheet and the second sheet in the room.

A system of aerodynamic skirt fairings designed to minimize aerodynamic drag and maintain smoother air flow over highway-operated long-haul tractor-trailer vehicles.

A combined electric motor and submersible pump apparatus intended for installation in line with the well tubing has a hollow drive shaft the down stream end of which is secured to the rotor of the motor and mounted for rotation in axial alignment with the axis of the tubing, the pump impellers being mounted on the upstream end of the hollow shaft, the shaft also having inlet and discharge ports and a check valve mounted on the interior of the drive shaft that is closed when the pump is activated. When the check valve is in the open position, a wire line tool or the like can be passed through the hollow drive shaft to a position below the apparatus.

A multi-sensory height warning system for informing a driver of a motor vehicle of the proximity of an overhead obstruction in the path of the vehicle that will contact the vehicle that has:

(a) a stationary height measuring device that is activatable by a passing vehicle that exceeds a predetermined height

(b) a signal generator connected to the stationary height measuring device that is activated by the stationary height measuring means when a passing vehicle exceeds a predetermined height and subsequently activates a warning sound generator and lights; and

(c) an overhead physical barrier that is spaced across the roadway a distance after the position of the plurality of lights.

A spectrometer is designed capable of effectively covering the full desired spectral range using an array of multiple diffraction gratings arranged in gradually differentiated angles to diffract certain sub-range of photon wavelengths to the target detectors without relying on mechanically changing gratings or use of any moving parts. The optically subdivided spectral analysis results are then electronically integrated to accurately yield the desired full range spectral measurement at a speed compatible to the limit of optical and digital analyzers' speed of the measuring system without manual adjustment and/or mechanical movement delays.

Internal combustion engines operate by igniting a mixture of liquid fuel and air inside its combustion chamber. The energy from the ignition is converted to mechanical energy that is used to power a vehicle. Research indicates that adding hydrogen gas into the combustion chamber improves the efficiency of the engine. The present invention is an electrolysis system that produces hydrogen and oxygen gases and injects them into the fuel line of the engine to create a mixture of the gases and the liquid fuel that is subsequently introduced into the combustion chamber for ignition. The operating temperature of the engine is lower if the gases are injected into the fuel line rather than directly into the combustion chamber.

A device and method for the filtration and purification of suspended solids from high turbidity wastewater or other fluids using a slow circulating fluid stream flow inside a vessel of fluid containing a mixture of coagulant and suspended solids. By determining and using a calculated velocity of the flow of the fluid in the vessel, suspended solids are caused to separate from the fluid in which they are suspended by natural actions of gravity and pressure differentials in the vessel ceasing the rise of the suspended solids. The suspended solids are filtered from the water or other fluid by a filter layer of the suspended solids themselves which form a filter element for the fluid at a determined level in the vessel wherein suspended solids are separated and drain back though a return orifice leaving cleansed fluid to rise through a secondary filtration system of buoyant balls floating at a higher lever. Additional filtration of fluid and condensation of solids into sludge is achieved using an optional second return conduit to leach additional fluid from solids drained into the return orifice from the first filtration layer of suspended solids.
