Abstract: A portable foam brush assembly having a base having a soap supply, a water supply, and an electrical supply. A foam brush wand is detachably dockable to the base and in electrical and fluid communication with the foam brush wand having battery pack, a peristaltic pump, a reservoir chamber, a foaming chamber, an air pump, a brush and a momentary release switch. The base water supply and the base soap supply, when activated, are configured to travel by a water supply hose and a soap supply hose to a tee in the base where they are combined in a combined hose to a base quick coupler that is connectable to a reciprocal foam brush wand quick coupler, which has a foam brush wand hose to deliver the water soap mixture to bladder in the foam brush wand.

Abstract: Assemblies to cut a hollow piling are provided, which may have a pressurized hydraulic fluid supply configured to supply enough force to cut through up to the circumference of a piling having a housing having a cavity to receive the hydraulic fluid, the housing having at least one cylinder wall; at least one piston assembly slidably disposed within the at least one cylinder wall configured to extend from the at least one cylinder wall in response to the introduction of pressurized hydraulic fluid into the housing cavity; and a blade attached at a radially distal end of the piston assembly, whereby as the blade extends through the cylinder wall, a cutting force is applied to an encountered piling wall.

Abstract: A cutting tool for truncating elongated structural members has a frame with a pair of parallel siderails connected at a first end by a support plate and at a second end by a removable end gate, the frame having an open center adapted to receive the structural member therethrough. The truncating is performed by a fixed penetrating cutting edge on an end gate and a driven penetrating blade slidably disposed within the frame to advance towards the end gate. The end gate has two integral penetrating cutting edges pointing in opposite directions. The driven penetrating blade and the fixed penetrating cutting edge may have concave cutting edges relative to one another and configured to be adjacent to one another along the travel of the driven penetrating blade. Alternately, an end gate second cutting edge may be directed to the opening within the frame and have a piercing V-shaped cutting edge.

Abstract: A portable foam brush includes a soap reservoir, such as optionally in a base or in a wand, a foaming chamber, and an air compressor, such as optionally battery-operated air compressor. The compressor is configured for supplying air to act upon the soap from the reservoir to cause dispensing of soap to the foaming chamber. In some embodiments, the compressor may also supply air to the foaming chamber. In use, the soap and the air in the foaming chamber combine to form an air and soap foam. The brush includes a brush end configured for receiving foam from the foaming chamber and dispensing the foam.

The truncating is performed by a fixed penetrating blade mounted on and end gate open and a driven penetrating blade slidably disposed within the frame. Thus, the end gate has at least two penetrating blades pointing in opposite directions wherein the driven penetrating blade and the fixed penetrating blade have concave cutting edges relative to one another and configured to be adjacent to one another along the travel of the driven penetrating blade.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a fuel injector that is controlled by an engine control unit. According to one embodiment a device receives from a temperature sensor information corresponding to the temperature of the engine. The device transmits substitute temperature information to the engine control unit when the temperature of the engine is within a predetermined range of temperatures. The substitute temperature information corresponds to a temperature that is different than the actual temperature of the ICE. The engine control unit controls the fuel injector so that it operates in response to the substitute temperature information.
