The remediation treatment creates environmentally neutral species from hydrocarbon contaminants. A catalyst is injected into the site and is permitted to diffuse through the site. An oxidizing agent is then introduced into the site to release a free radical in a Fenton-type reaction. The compounds react to release a free radical, which acts upon the contaminants to form environmentally neutral species. Diffusion of both compounds is aided by turbulence induced in the groundwater. Reaction vapors are collected above ground, filtered, and vented to the atmosphere.

A garbage container includes an air conduit directed within the container coextensively of a side wall thereof extending into the container cavity, such that the air conduit includes side walls having side wall openings to effect vacuum release when a plastic liner is positioned within the garbage can.

A display system including a programmable video graphic controller allows for continuous smooth panning through memory which is larger than the system's video memory. The video memory is continuously updated with new image data so as to form two duplicate images within video memory. When an edge of video memory is reached, the displayed image may be shifted from one of the duplicate images to the other within video memory to allow continuous panning without the need to stop and refresh the image data every time an edge of video memory is reached.

Programmable video graphic controller for smooth panning

A circuit for interpolating discrete data points or horizontal line segments of a single valued function in one direction into a continuous line display. So that only one value need be produced from a memory for each display position along one axis of an x,y coordinate system display, the circuit generates lines parallel to the other axis which connect the display at adjacent positions along the first axis. The circuit receives and displays a line of data; delays the line of data by one clock pulse and displays the delayed line; compares the line and delayed line to determine the ends of data in the line; stores the position of the ends of data in a shift register; displays the output of the shift register; and returns the output of the shift register to the input of the shift register for each end position until data is received in a position adjacent the end position.

Connecting line generator

A capacitive gauging apparatus in which a single central processing unit is connected to a plurality of gauging heads each gauging head having a further plurality of gauging probes. The system then multiplexes the probes and heads to enable the central processing unit to receive serially the output from each of the heads and produce an analog or digital signal which indicates distance between each of the probes and the work piece. A central microprocessor transforms these signals into an output for visual display or calculates the difference between these signals and an ideal master work piece. Further, a highly temperature stable, low capacitance, high impedance amplifier is used in conjunction with each of the probes so that the output signal from each of the probes is stable and accurate over a wide range of conditions.
