  • Patent number: 7780816
    Abstract: A fibrous insulation has insulation fibers (104) with a fungicide in a dispersed additive affixed to the fibers (104), and a method of making a fibrous insulation by dispersing a fungicide and a dispersed additive on the fibers (104) followed by affixing the dispersed additive on the fibers (104). The method produces thermal, acoustic, duct liner or board insulation either as loose fill insulation or as an insulation mat.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6732960
    Abstract: A system for blowing loose-fill insulation includes a loose-fill blowing machine including a discharge hose. An ionizer is disposed in the flow path of the insulation through the discharge hose, wherein the ionizer reduces the static charge developed on the insulation prior to discharge thereof. A method of reducing static charge developed on loose-fill insulation during blowing is also provided and includes the step of ionizing the insulation in the flow path of the insulation while the insulation is being discharged to reduce the static charge.

  • Patent number: 4843463
    Abstract: An easy to use audio-visual video tape recording system mounted in or on a land vehicle. The system is automatically activated when the ignition is turned `ON` to record events forward and rearward simultaneously. In addition the following are recorded simultaneously as they occur: left turn signal, right turn signal, velocity in miles or kilometers per hour, brakes applied, safety belt fastened, date, time (24 hour clock), and vehicle identification. All the previously mentioned events would be shown on a television screen during a replay of the video tape. Certain modes of recordation would not apply to a mounting on a water-borne vehicle. This invention will be of great value toward settling insurance claims, contesting the issuance of unfair/unfounded traffic citations . . . etc. It will be an important tool for delivery companies in that they can show where the delivery vehicle was at any time.
