An improved mortar less masonry structure comprising a plurality of concrete masonry units connected to each other by metal bars and metal threaded fasteners thereby forming a reinforcing skeletal system for a post tensioned structure. The improved system has been developed for use in constructing various types of masonry structures. The improvements of the system feature masonry units with recessed channels, pocket channels, or fully embedded bars as anchors. The bolt acts as the tendon for the post tensioning system which traverse the hollow cavities as ducts. Other new features teach a strong and durable full plate anchor and high strength tendons for defensive and anti-terrorism structures. This is an improved building system that demountably couples each individual masonry unit by a bar and bolt system. This coupling results in stronger, faster, and cheaper construction of masonry structures.

A mortar less masonry structure comprising a plurality of regular masonry blocks and / or bricks connected to each other by a plurality of metal bars and a plurality of standard metal threaded fasteners thereby forming a post tensioned structure. Preferably, the blocks are operatively connected to each other as a structure by simple mechanical tools. Each interconnection results in a unitized post tensioned member that, when interconnected to the adjacent members, forms a comparatively higher strength structure than systems made of mortar and reinforced mortar. The method used to create this structure is a simple, waterless, mortar less interconnection process that is completed by a series of simple individual steps of fastening the blocks and bars into a strong and durable structure. Once connected the structure is strong and durable. If desired, the structure may be disassembled and the components be re-used.

This invention discloses a Chinese input method using Pinyin plus a new tone notation on a Western keyboard or keypad to input Chinese characters, characterized in that the user can input a Chinese compound word (polysyllabic word) containing several syllables and tones by just keying in a series of letters representing the syllables and tones of the word, and the letters are all joined together without causing any confusion. This feature is attributed to the new tone input method of this invention, which is characterized in that the three letters j, q and x are used to input three of the four tones of Putonghua (Mandarin), and “no entry” is used to input the remaining tone. There is a detailed logical reasoning in the specification of this patent application explaining how this method can achieve the feature of “syllables with tones are joined together without causing confusion”. Input of these syllables with tones via just a Western keyboard, together with the important feature of “the syllables with tones are joined together without causing confusion”, will have a major impact on the technical field of Chinese input method.

Methods and devices for decontaminating agricultural material, which agricultural material may comprise carboxylic acids are disclosed. The methods involve contacting the agricultural material with a sufficient amount of ethylene oxide, at a temperature of between around 15 and 30° C., for a sufficient time so as to disinfect the products. Ethylene oxide sterilization conducted at these temperatures is sufficient to remove microbial contamination, but not sufficient to cause a sufficient quantity of carboxylic acid groups to react with ethylene oxide and form esters. Representative devices include sterilization bags, optionally stored in sterilization cabinets, sealed drums, and pallet-loaded disinfecting chambers, all adapted to safely purge ethylene oxide from the agricultural material after the sterilization. Representative agricultural materials include, but not limited to hemp and marijuana.
