Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed relate to removal of phosphorus from water using magnesium or calcium. A method of removing phosphorus from water including magnesium, calcium, or a combination thereof. The method includes forming a precipitate in the water including the phosphorus and the precipitation composition. The precipitate includes a salt that includes the phosphorus, and also includes magnesium, calcium, or a combination thereof. The method also includes removing the precipitate including the phosphorus from the water including the precipitate, to form water having a lower dissolved phosphorus concentration than the water including phosphorus that was combined with the precipitation composition. The method can include combining the water including phosphorus and a precipitation composition including a magnesium salt, a calcium salt, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The large overhead bi-fold doors of the present invention are hinged along a centerline and hung by hinges from the top of the door opening. A motor mounted inside and above the door opening is connected to one end of a cable, the other end of which passes around a pulley at the bottom of the door and then upwardly to a latching mechanism located beneath the horizontal hinge line of the doors. When the motor is activated, the cable pulls on a dog or arm connected to a shaft which also carries the hook of a latching device. The hook engages a strike attached to the frame of the building on which the door is mounted, and when the motor is activated, the cable pulls on the dog which disengages the hook from the strike and further tension on the cable by the motor raises the door to an elevated position.

Abstract: The fastening device for interconnecting two flat sheets of metal includes a generally rectangular hole in one of the sheets and a generally H-shaped hole in the other. The H-shaped hole includes a pair of inwardly-facing, tapered portions which are adapted to be bent into the rectangular hole of the other member. The dimensions of the tabs are such that when bent inwardly into the rectangular hole, the edges of the tabs are forced against the edges of the rectangular hole so as to cause the two members to be rigidly and securely interconnected without the necessity of the tabs being bent backwardly behind the rectangular opening in the other member.
