4. A system as in claim 3, wherein the plurality of photobioreactor units are arranged in parallel.
5. A system as in claim 4, wherein the plurality of photobioreactor units each include the same number of sections.
6. A system as in claim 1, wherein the liquid flow channel contain a liquid medium comprising phototrophic organisms.
7. A system as in claim 6, wherein the phototrophic organisms comprise algae.
8. A system as in claim 1, further comprising a gas inlet in fluid communication with the gas headspace, wherein the gas inlet is connected to a source of waste gas having an elevated concentration of CO2.
9. A system as in claim 8, wherein the waste gas comprises a flue gas.
10. A system as in claim 1, further comprising a dewatering system in fluid communication with an output of the at least one longitudinally-oriented photobioreactor unit.
11. A system as in claim 1, further comprising a mister disposed within a photobioreactor section of the plurality of photobioreactor sections and configured to spray a liquid within the gas headspace.
12. A system as in claim 11, wherein the mister is configured to spray the liquid downwardly towards the liquid flow channel.
13. A system as in claim 1, wherein the cover is supported by ribs attached to the base.
14. A system as in claim 1 further comprising two pontoon floats that extend longitudinally along a length of the photobioreactor unit and configured to support the photobioreactor unit on a body of water.
15. A system as in claim 1 wherein the base comprises a gravel bed.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of setting user-based one-touch dials in a fax machine or multi-function product (MFP) having a fax function, the method comprising setting at least one one-touch dial differently according to at least two users.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying at least one of the two users through user authentication.
3. A method of setting user-based one-touch dials in a fax machine or multi-function product (MFP) having a fax function, the method comprising:
identifying a user;
searching a storage unit storing user-based one-touch dial information for the identified user;
reading one-touch dial information corresponding to the identified user; and
matching one-touch dials with keys using the one-touch dial information read.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein at least one of the one-touch dials corresponds to at least one of a fax number, a telephone number, and an email address.
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the identifying comprises:
receiving an input ID and password from the user; and
performing user authentication using the input ID and the password.
6. The method of claim 3, further comprising:
receiving a one-touch dial and a key corresponding to the one-touch dial from the user; and
storing the one-touch dial in an area assigned to the user in the storage unit by matching the one-touch dial with the selected key.
7. The method of claim 3, further comprising:
receiving a signal in response to a key pressed by the user; and
dialing a fax or telephone number corresponding to the key.
8. The method of claim 3, further comprising displaying the user-based one-touch dial information.
9. The method of claim 3, further comprising printing the user-based one-touch dial information.
10. The method of claim 3, wherein the user-based one-touch dial information comprises editable information.
11. An apparatus for setting user-based one-touch dials in a fax machine or multi-function product (MFP) having a fax function, the apparatus comprising at least one one-touch dial configured to be differently set according to at least two users.
12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the users are identified through user authentication.
13. An apparatus for setting user-based one-touch dials in a fax machine or multi-function product (MFP) having a fax function, the apparatus comprising:
a user identification unit for identifying a user;
a storage unit for storing user-based one-touch dial information; and
a one-touch dial setting unit for searching the storage unit, reading one-touch dial information corresponding to the user identified by the user identification unit, and matching one-touch dials with keys using the one-touch dial information.
14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least one of the one-touch dials corresponds to at least one of a fax number, a telephone number, and an email address.
15. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the user identification unit performs user authentication using at least one of an ID and password of the user.
16. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the one-touch dial setting unit is configured to store a one-touch dial input by the user in an area assigned to the user in the storage unit by matching the one-touch dial input with a key selected by the user.
17. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising a display unit for displaying the user-based one-touch dial information.
18. The apparatus of claim 13, further comprising a printing unit for printing the user-based one-touch dial information.
