A mower sprayer attachment apparatus for simultaneous mowing and spraying includes a tank mount comprising a plurality of support arms configured to couple to a deck of a mower and a platform coupled to the plurality of support arms. A storage tank is coupled to the tank mount. A pump is coupled to the deck of the mower and has an intake port, a discharge port, and a drive wheel. The intake port is linked to the storage tank by an intake hose. The drive wheel powers the pump to draw a liquid, pressurize said liquid and expel it through the discharge port. A belt is coupled to the drive wheel and is configured to couple to a drive shaft of the mower to rotate the drive wheel. A spray apparatus is coupled to the discharge port and releases the liquid on each side of the mower.

The present invention is directed to a magnetic vestibular stimulation (MVS) system for rehabilitation of subjects with vestibular and balance disorders. The magnetic vestibular stimulation system includes a magnet and a cooling system. In some embodiments, the subject wears video goggles in order to stimulate the subject to orient to a virtual reality. The subject can lie, sit or stand in or near a strong magnetic field generated by the system. The magnetic field generated by the system stimulates the vestibular system to counteract the inherent imbalance created by a naturally-occurring vestibular disorder. Particularly important, the direction and amplitude of vestibular stimulation can be easily manipulated by altering the orientation and distance of the head relative to the magnetic field vector. Thus, MVS can be precisely tailored to a patient's specific pattern of vestibular disturbance.

Device for magnetic stimulation of the vestibular system

A method and system for real-time, in-line calculations of opto-electronic properties and thickness of the layers of multi-layered transparent conductive oxide stacks of photovoltaic devices is provided. The method and system include taking measurements of each layer of the stack during deposition thereof. The measurements are then used to calculate the opto-electronic properties and thicknesses of the layers in real-time.

Infrared detection is used to monitor the temperature within a vapor transport deposition processing chamber. Changes in temperature that occur when a substrate passes an infrared detector are detected and used to precisely locate a position of the substrate within the chamber. Position correction of the substrate can also be implemented.
