The invention relates to an arrangement for inducing a state of anaesthesia in a living creature and maintaining the creature in that state by administering to the said creature an infused volume of liquid anaesthesia-inducing medication per unit of time, preferably during the use of one or more lung ventilation unit(s)s and one or more infusion unit(s).The arrangement comprises a basic unit (102) with control function software (600a′–600r′) and one or more modular unit(s) (30′, 30, 30″) containing hardware for the control functions. When a modular unit (30′) co-acts with the basic unit (102), it (30′) activates the control functions stored in the basic unit (102).

A pet toy that produces sounds or lights when a sensor disposed in the pet toy detects motion or vibration. The sensor is highly sensitive such that the toy will produce sound or lights when the sensor senses that the toy housing has moved, even over a very short distance. The highly sensitive pet toy reacts more like a live creature than prior art pet toys, thereby creating a more interesting toy for pets.

The invention relates to the application field of the high-level oxidation technique and the water treating technique, and provides a method using the high-level oxidation technique that produces vitriol free radical for treating organic contamination in water. persulfate or single peroxide hydrosulfate is used for producing vitriol free radical through pyrogenation, ultraviolet light photolysis, Gama radial eradiation decomposition or metal ion catalyze manner, having high oxidation active vitriol free radical that can react with the organic contamination in the water so as to degradate and mineralize the organic contamination and kill the living creatures in the water and reach the aim of purifying the water quality. The invention has the advantages that the method can be operated under the condition of neutral or alkalescent pH compared with the Fenton reagent; the method is friendly environment without producing secondary pollution; the method has high treating efficiency and rapid reaction speed so as to be suitable for treating water with big fluid; the method can be used for drinking water disinfection and industrial and life sewage treatment, thereby not only degradating the organic contamination in the water, but also killing the harmful living creatures in the water at the same time.

Laser lines at 635 nm or longer (ideally 647 nm) are preferred for red, giving energy-efficient, bright, rapid-motion images with rich, full film-comparable colors. Green and blue lines are used too—and cyan retained for best color mixing, an extra light-power boost, and aid in speckle suppression. Speckle is suppressed through beam-path displacement—by deflecting the beam during projection, thereby avoiding both absorption and diffusion of the beam while preserving pseudocollimation (noncrossing rays). The latter in turn is important to infinite sharpness. Path displacement is achieved by scanning the beam on the liquid-crystal valves (LCLVs), which also provides several enhancements—in energy efficiency, brightness, contrast, beam uniformity (by suppressing both laser-mode ripple and artifacts), and convenient beam-turning to transfer the beam between apparatus tiers. Preferably deflection is performed by a mirror mounted on a galvanometer or motor for rotary oscillation; images are written incrementally on successive portions of the LCLV control stage (either optical or electronic) while the laser “reading beam” is synchronized on the output stage. The beam is shaped, with very little energy loss to masking, into a shallow cross-section which is shifted on the viewing screen as well as the LCLVs. Beam-splitter / analyzer cubes are preferred over polarizing sheets. Spatial modulation provided by an LCLV and maintained by pseudocollimation enables imaging on irregular projection media with portions at distinctly differing distances from the projector—including domes, sculptures, monuments, buildings; waterfalls, sprays, fog, clouds, ice; scrims and other stage structures; trees and other foliage; land and rock surfaces; and even assemblages of living creatures including people.

A robotic life form simulates a live creature responsive to a changing environment sensed by the robot, and has a robotic body that is articulated for motion around an upright axis and supported by at least two legs, each having at least two joints. The neck of the body terminates in a head provided with eyes and a mouth, and, in the illustrated creature, has a tail. Internal and external input sensors are located on the robotic body and responsive to touch, sound and lighting conditions, motion, food, temperature, voice commands, time of day, and obstacles and hazards, and include a head touch sensor, a plurality of touch sensors extending along a torso of the body, and a plurality of touch sensors on the feet. Actuators responsive to the input sensors control the eyes of the robot, opening and closing of its mouth, movement of the head, movement of the neck relative to the torso, and relative movements of the front and rear sections of the torso to cause the torso to pivot and twist and thereby provide lifelike responses to the sensed conditions. Drive index levels in accordance with priority criteria selected from a plurality of animation groups determine the drive index levels, and servo actuators associated with the body are responsive to dominant drive indexes causing the robot to execute animations resulting therefrom.
