The present inventive subject matter relates to an automated, consumer-driven, pre-production, seasonal vaccine reservation system for facilitating the efficient production, distribution, and/or administration of health-critical, long-production-lead-time seasonal vaccines, or other pharmacological agents, whereby use of such a consumer-driven vaccine reservation system provides a highly effective means for substantially ensuring or guaranteeing that consumer demand for seasonal vaccine can be fully and consistently met, but without subjecting the producers of vaccine and/or other cognizant parties associated with the healthcare industry to undue financial risk. In addition to the physical elements comprising such a consumer-driven vaccine reservation system, the present invention also represents various unique operational methods for accurately matching seasonal vaccine supply with seasonal consumer demand, thereby substantially facilitating production, distribution, and/or timely administration of vaccine.

A precipitation (e.g., rain, snow, sleet, etc.) harvesting apparatus comprising a basic storage chamber or cistern which comprises an open vessel (such as a children's inflatable pool) and an optional primary catchment membrane which is placed over and attached to the open vessel to form the storage chamber An optional extended membrane is shown extending upward and away from vessel and is shown optionally supported by optionally inflatable or collapsible support tubes which are in turn fastened to the ground or other surface on which the apparatus is resting using tie lines, cables, strings and/or the like which are attached to ground stakes A liquid dispensing conduit is shown connected to and leading away from the storage vessel for draining harvested rainwater or other liquid contained within the storage chamber. The apparatus also includes a filter located, for example, in proximity to the center of the catchment membrane wherein the membrane has an opening or port optionally located in proximity to the center of the membrane

A multi-function, field-deployable resource harnessing apparatus having, in its embodiments, an inflatable reflector apparatus comprising a least one manufactured parabolic mirror made from a pressure-deformable reflective covering of an inflatable ring for focusing electromagnetic energy from radio frequency radiation (RF) through the ultraviolet (UV) radiation including solar energy for (1) heating and cooking, (2) electrical power generation, (3) enhancing the transmission and reception of radio signals, (4) enhancing vision in low-light environments, and/or (5) projection of optical signals or images. The device also has non-electromagnetic uses, such as the collection and storage of water, harnessing of energy from a fluid stream, and/or harnessing wave energy. A first main embodiment of the inflatable reflector apparatus generally utilizes two pressure-deformable membranes, at least one of which is reflective. A second main embodiment utilizes a reflective membrane and a transparent membrane. In addition to the reflector apparatus the modular apparatus typically further includes modular assemblies to increase versatility, facilitate use, and/or enhance safety such as, for example, a modular support and orienting assembly , a separate support ring , a safety shield or cage , a focal point support assembly , a safety cover , a safety net or mesh , and a stabilizing assembly . Portability is enhanced by complete collapsing of the inflatable device.

An inflatable, multifunction, multipurpose, parabolic reflector apparatus having a plurality of manufactured parabolic mirrors made from a pressure-deformable reflective covering of an inflatable ring for focusing electromagnetic energy from radio frequency radiation (RF) through the ultraviolet radiation (UV) and solar energy for (1) heating and cooking, for (2) electrical power generation, for (3) enhancing the transmission and reception of radio signals, for (4) enhancing vision in low-light environments, and for (5) projection of optical signals or images. The device also has non-electromagnetic uses, such as the collection of water. A first main embodiment utilizes two membranes, where at least one is reflective to electromagnetic radiation. A second main embodiment utilizes a reflective membrane and a transparent membrane. Portability is enhanced by complete collapsing of the inflatable device.
