  • Patent number: 11737563
    Abstract: A foldable seat comprises a vertically extending support arrangement, a seat member and a pivot assembly. The vertically extending support arrangement has a vertical axis and a horizontal plane and comprises opposite top and bottom ends along the vertical axis, and a geometric outer perimeter in the horizontal plane having a perimeter size. The seat member is mounted to the top end of the vertically extending support arrangement. The pivot assembly is mounted to the vertically extending support arrangement for pivoting about a pivot axis parallel to the vertical axis. Pivoting the pivot assembly provides for moving the vertically extending support arrangement between folded and unfolded positions respectively decreasing and increasing the perimeter size.

  • Publication number: 20050241417
    Abstract: Air sampler with integrated airflow sensing. The air sampler according to at least some embodiments includes an air mover that is operable to move air over a sampling media. An integrated airflow sensor is in fluid communication with the air mover. The air mover operating speed can be adjusted, in example embodiments, by either a feedback control mechanism that is connected to the air mover and the integrated airflow sensor, by user input, or by a combination of the two. The feedback control mechanism adjusts the operating speed of the air mover in response to signaling from the integrated airflow sensor in order to maintain an actual airflow in accordance with a stored, target value. The feedback can, in at least some embodiments, compensate for obstructions, environmental variables, variations in the power supplied to the air mover, and the like.

  • Patent number: 4188409
    Abstract: A granular product to be used for brewing a high yield, coffee tasting beverage, formed of coffee flavored extract from pulverized roast and ground coffee impregnated into and coated onto edible nut shell particles, utilizing only a fraction of roast and ground coffee of that normally necessary to produce comparable beverage yields. A process to make such product by mixing an aqueous pulverized roast and ground coffee into and onto nut shell particles and drying such, effecting a stable granular material with the appearance of conventional roast and ground coffee and with the capacity for brewing a coffee tasting beverage while at least doubling the cup yield per unit weight of roast and ground coffee used.
