Abstract: A system for enhancing adsorption of contaminated vapors to increase treatment capacity of a regenerable, synthetic adsorptive media. The system includes an inlet configured to receive a flow of contaminated vapors. One or more vessels are coupled to the inlet, the one or more vessels each including a regenerable, synthetic adsorptive media therein, are configured to remove contaminants from the vapors by adsorption. A vapor cooling subsystem is coupled to the inlet, and configured to cool the flow of contaminated vapors, thereby increasing the treatment capacity of the regenerable synthetic adsorptive media.

Abstract: A three point hay lift assembly includes a hay spear device for a three point hitch and a three point hay lift. The hay spear device includes at least one stabilizer mounted to a frame within about 24 inches of a hay spear mounted to the frame. This enables the hay spear device to be lowered without the stabilizers contacting a trailer platform or bed. The hay lift includes a tube configured to slide over the hay spear that is longer than the stabilizer of the hay spear device. A crossbar limits the insertion depth of the hay spear into the hay bale and at least one stabilizer is attached to the crossbar to prevent the hay bale from spinning. An ear extends from the tube to contact the frame of the hay spear device and prevent the tube from spinning about the hay spear.

Abstract: A series (e.g., string) of flashing lights can temporarily blind animals that view the lights within about 25 feet of the lights, deterring them from even approaching the series of flashing lights. The series of flashing lights is placed about the perimeter of an area to be protected. In one embodiment, the flashing lights are gas discharge bulbs connected in series and driven by an electric fence charger.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an improved horizontal beam optical comparator that includes a probe to follow the surface of a work-piece, moreover, providing a method for gathering changes in height and depth to measure, plot and delineate surface contours of work-pieces relative to a movable “X” axis stage, and depth along a moveable “Y” axis stage without presence in the objective lenses depth of field.

Abstract: An electric fence monitor is operable to provide an audible and/or visual indicator of an operating condition (i.e., falter no-fault) of an electric fence and electric fence box. The electric fence monitor is operable to remain continuously connected between the electric fence and earth ground during normal operation of the fence. The electric fence monitor includes a gas discharge lamp light source for providing the visual indicator of the operating condition of the electric fence and electric fence box.

Abstract: An electric fence monitoring system includes an electric fence monitor and an electric fence monitor mounting bracket. The electric fence monitor is operable to provide an audible and/or visual indicator of an operating condition (i.e., fault or no-fault) of an electric fence and electric fence box. The electric fence monitor is operable to remain continuously connected between the electric fence and earth ground during normal operation of the fence. The mounting bracket affixes to a standard safety post or T-post and supports the electric fence monitor. The mounting bracket connects the electric fence monitor to earth ground via the T-post. The mounting bracket slips over a top of the T-post at a first angle relative to the T-post and locks onto the T-post at a second angle relative to the T-post.

Abstract: A fuse system protects an electric fence box from lightning strikes that hit a fence connected to the electric fence box via the fuse system. The fuse system includes at least one fuse connecting an output terminal of the electric fence box to the electric fence and an optional second fuse connecting a ground terminal of the electric fence box to earth ground. Each fuse includes a filament at least 12 inches long inside a non-conductive tube (e.g., Mylar). A first lead connects a first end of the filament to the output terminal of the electric fence box, and a second lead connects a second end of the filament to the electric fence.

Abstract: A timing chip-engaging retainer device is disclosed which is structured to releasably and selectively engage a timing device or chip of the type worn by athletes in endurance races or other timed sporting activities so that the timing chip may be easily and quickly attached to the athlete's apparel, such as an athletic shoe, and easily and quickly detached from the athlete's apparel without cutting or otherwise harming the athlete's apparel, as is currently the practice in removing timing chips from athletic shoes.
