Patent number: 11766578Abstract: An active stairwell compensation system includes air injection points at different elevations in a stairwell; a fan for providing airflow to the air injection points; sensors; air injection dampers; and a controller in data communication with the fan, the sensors, and the air injection dampers. At least some of the sensors are located inside the stairwell, and at least some of the sensors are located outside the stairwell. A respective air injection damper is located between each air injection point and the fan. The controller has programming to utilize data from the sensors to adjust an amount of air provided by the fan and independently adjust the air injection dampers to maintain a desirable amount of air pressure at the air injection points. The desirable amount of air pressure is selected to prevent smoke from entering the stairwell while allowing stairwell doors to open for egress.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: RM Manifold Group, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Edward McNulty, Jon Randall Hinson

Patent number: 10443840Abstract: Reversible draft controllers and exhaust systems incorporating reversible draft controllers are disclosed. One system for controlling draft in a chimney includes a sensor for determining condition data, an axial fan blade, an electronically commutated motor (ECM), and a controller. The ECM is configured to rotate the fan blade in a first direction to increase draft in the chimney and in a second, opposite direction to decrease draft. The controller has a processor and a program of instructions executable by the processor to perform steps for controlling draft in the chimney with the fan blade. The steps include: comparing condition data from the sensor to set point data to determine if an intervention is required; addressing insufficient draft by actuating the ECM to rotate the axial fan blade in the first direction; and addressing excessive draft by actuating the ECM to rotate the fan blade in the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: RM Manifold Group, Inc.Inventor: Timothy Edward McNulty

Patent number: 8708673Abstract: Draft inducers are set forth herein. According to one embodiment, a draft inducer for use with corrosive and high temperature gas includes an inline tubular housing, an impeller inside the housing, and a motor outside the housing. A drive shaft couples the motor to the impeller to rotate the impeller with force from the motor. According to another embodiment, an inline shaft driven draft inducer includes an inline tubular housing, a rotating member, a motor, and a drive shaft. The housing has an external perimeter, and the motor is outside the housing external perimeter. The rotating member is inside the housing, and the drive shaft couples the motor to the rotating member to spin the rotating member with force from the motor.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2008Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Inventors: Timothy Edward McNulty, Thaddeus James Rohskopf

Publication number: 20130018350Abstract: An absorbent pouch for use by males suffering from mild incontinence problems includes an outer layer or sheath made from an impermeable material and an inner liner made from an absorbent material. The outer layer is defined by first and second side wall portions which are interconnected along three edges so as to establish a single opening into the pouch. The first or inner side wall portion of the pouch is also formed with an arcuate cut-out portion leading into the pouch and provided with a soft material. Extending from the second or outer side wall portion of the pouch is a support tab provided with one or more fastening elements for securing the pouch below a waist portion of a user, such as by attaching the support tab to a waist band or an undergarment of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2012Publication date: January 17, 2013Inventor: Edward McNulty

Patent number: 8267759Abstract: Sub-ducts and methods of exhausting into a generally rectangular and vertical main shaft are disclosed herein. A sub-duct of one embodiment includes hollow first and second portions. The first portion presents a generally flat attaching wall, a top side that defines an opening, and a bottom side that has an aerodynamic configuration; the second portion defines an intake opening, meets with the first portion attaching wall at approximately a ninety degree angle, and has a configuration complementary to a configuration of an exhaust duct. The first and second portions collectively define a continuous channel between the intake opening and the top side opening. The first portion may have a section of generally constant cross section extending from adjacent the second portion to the top side opening, and the second portion may have a generally constant cross section extending from the intake opening to the first portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2006Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Subduct Riser Manufacturing, Ltd.Inventors: Timothy Edward McNulty, Brian William Ryglewicz, Mark Steven Sylvia

Publication number: 20090230235Abstract: Disclosed is a profile of an end view of a base portion Vertical Take Off And Landing Craft, (VTLC) rotor-blade comprising a widened structure from leading to trailing edges. The profile further comprises straight level planes of air foil that provide the options of transforming the leading edge to the trailing edge. The rotor wing system is housed and duplicated in the craft set within said two wells which are circumnavigated by a corridor from front to aft of the craft. Two rear exits are reinforced by the connection of a triangular structure forming a tail which also affords a comprehensive view of the complete air craft perimeter from the viewpoint of a central top compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2008Publication date: September 17, 2009Inventor: Norbert Edward McNulty

Publication number: 20080179099Abstract: A golf hole cutting device includes an impact portion and a cutting portion. The impact portion preferably takes the form of a portable impact hammer, while the cutting portion includes a cutting head and a shaft having a terminal portion that connects with the portable impact portion. The cutting head includes a cylindrical, hollow main body portion having a first end portion which is adapted to penetrate soil and leads to a second end portion. With this construction, the impact portion is employed to deliver a series of rapid linear impacts to the terminal portion of the shaft to drive the cutting head down into soil of a putting green to form a golf hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2007Publication date: July 31, 2008Inventor: Edward McNulty

Publication number: 20070101584Abstract: A head cover trimming system for trimming around a ground level head cover includes a head cap and a grass trimmer assembly. The head cap is provided on the head cover and includes a centering member. The grass trimmer assembly includes a head member having a peripheral edge portion along which is mounted a cutting element. The grass trimmer assembly is driven through a drive shaft connected to a rotary tool at one end. Arranged within the head member is a retractable centering shaft. When the head member is placed over the head cover, the centering shaft is received by the centering member to center the grass trimmer about the head cover. The centering shaft retracts into the head member to allow the rotating cutting element to trim the area around the head cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2006Publication date: May 10, 2007Inventor: Edward McNulty
