20160107912 | SYSTEM AND MEMBRANE FOR WASTEWATER-GENERATED ENERGY AND GAS - Systems and methods for producing and extracting a gas from a wastewater fluid can include multiple sheets or layers that form a composite membrane. The composite membrane can include a sandwich structure in which a dry matrix layer is surrounded by a first layer including a first immobilized bacteria and a second layer including a second immobilized bacteria. The first immobilized bacteria and the second immobilized bacteria can be configured to produce a gas from one or more compounds in a wastewater fluid. The dry matrix layer can be configured to receive the gas from the first and second layers, and the gas can be extracted from the membrane. In an example, hydrophobic coatings can be disposed between the dry matrix layer and one or both of the first and second layers. In an example, an adhesive interface can be disposed between the dry matrix layer and one or both of the first and second layers. | 04-21-2016 |

20150369708 | CYTOLOGICAL STAINING COMPOSITIONS AND USES THEREOF - The present subject matter is directed to a composition for staining cytological material comprising a cationic dye component, a hygroscopic polyol and optionally a water-soluble solvent, water or water-miscible solvent, methods of use of the compositions. Advantageously, the present compositions do not require the use of a cover slide as is required in known staining fixatives. The compositions are able to retain cell morphology for a period of time such that a cover slide is not required. Further, the compositions do not contain hazardous levels of organic components. Preferably, the compositions consist essentially of Azure C, glycerol and optionally water. In another aspect, the present subject matter is directed to a method of characterizing a cell sample comprising contacting the cell sample with a composition comprising a dye component and a hygroscopic polyol and subjecting the sample to analysis to determine the presence or absence of abnormal cells. | 12-24-2015 |

20090017429 | Method of developing a golf grip and swing and fitting equipment to a golf swing and ball travel - Disclosed is forming a secure golf club gripping style using only the limbs of a body. A limb-only golf swing is thereafter produced using the formed grip, thus eliminating extraneous influences upon said golf swing, including but not limited to golf clubs and other golf equipment that can cause change and/or inconsistency in said swing. Also disclosed is a method of fitting equipment based on limb-only swing performance. One step comprises reproducing the limb-only golf swing as accurately as possible when any club is swung. Another step further comprises fitting the golf club to obtain any desired golf ball travel, wherein the swing performance attained in the prior fitting step is maintained as the principle priority in order to achieve the best overall swing performance and equipment fit. Hence, at least one golf club or other piece of equipment may be produced to any equipment specification(s) determined during the fitting process. | 01-15-2009 |
20090254204 | Waggle weight and other preparatory period equimpent measurements - A pre-swing waggle weight rotation point location and a waggle weight specification measurement are disclosed that are provided about a golf club. A process that may be computer implemented and may include a specialized test device establishes the waggle weight point location. A waggle weight scale with a fulcrum set to the waggle weight point may be utilized to determine the waggle weight. Disclosed is fitting the waggle weight specification to at least one golfer and producing golf clubs with the waggle weight measurement. Also disclosed is fitting other golf club specifications via a pre-swing and producing golf clubs with said specifications. Fitting equipment measurements during preparatory periods of performers in activities other than golf and producing equipment utilizing the determined measurements is additionally disclosed. | 10-08-2009 |
20140113262 | METHOD OF DEVELOPING A GOLF GRIP AND SWING AND FITTING EQUIPMENT TO A GOLF SWING AND BALL TRAVEL - Disclosed is forming a secure golf club gripping style or structure using only the limbs of one's body. A limb-only base golf swing is thereafter produced using the formed grip, thus eliminating the use of any ill-fitting or inconsistent golf clubs, external influences upon said base golf swing that can cause change and/or inconsistency in said base swing. Further disclosed is using said limb-only base golf swing as the most accurate and consistent reference base golf swing possible toward the further improvement of one's base swing and/or the fitting of golf equipment to one's base golf swing existing at the time of the equipment fitting. Disclosed is producing at least one golf club or other piece of equipment to any equipment specification value determined during the fitting process. The present invention may be applied to other activities besides golf, both athletic and non-athletic in nature. | 04-24-2014 |
