International Classification:

G02B006/00

US Classification:

385/123000

Abstract:

An optical path for voice, video, and data transmission, and methods for manufacturing optical cables for use in optical transmission systems. The optical path or sub-paths have linearly and or non-linearly length dependant parameters which may have mutual relationships, for which local selection criteria allows a minimally restrictive local selection.

Brian J. Gallagher - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

C12M 1/00

A01G 33/00
B01F 13/00

Abstract:

A lateral circulator for generating agitation or circulation in a cultivation pond is disclosed. The circulator comprises at least a drive pulley and a secondary pulley, both oriented vertically and placed in the pond separated from one another along the length of the pond. The drive pulley is coupled to a motor, or to a drive train that is itself coupled to the motor. An endless belt is trained over the drive pulley and the secondary pulley. A plurality of cleats is provided along the exterior of the belt. The cleats are typically angled and serve to drive water as the belt rotates through the water. Typically, the belt would extend over much of the length of the cultivation pond, providing agitation and circulation over an extensive, continuous area of the cultivation pond.
