Abstract: Industrial gas customer station components comprising a plurality of cryogenic storage tanks each having top and bottom nozzles in flow communication with first and second tank piping connection points, respectively, disposed at a defined distance apart, thereby providing standardized first and second tank piping connection points, and a plurality of piping skids each comprising first and second pipe sections having first and second ends, the first ends thereof defining first and second piping skid connection points disposed at a defined distance apart, thereby providing standardized first and second piping skid connection points. The defined distances between the respective first and second piping skid connection points and the first and second tank piping connection points are essentially equal.

Abstract: Method of designing a customer station adapted to receive a cryogenic liquid, store the cryogenic liquid, discharge the cryogenic liquid after storage, and either provide the cryogenic liquid as a liquid product to a user or vaporize the cryogenic liquid to provide a gas product to a user. The method comprises selecting design parameters including product type, range of product flow rates, and required pipe diameters and piping types. Standardized piping skids are designed for one or more of the combinations of product type, pipe size, and pipe type. The product requirements of a user are defined, the type of cryogenic liquid storage tank is determined, and a piping skid design for the required service is selected from the standardized piping skid designs. The customer station then is designed using the selected standardized piping skid design and the selected type of cryogenic storage tank.

Abstract: A device for cleaning vehicular lug nuts or lug nut covers and the surfaces of lug nut or lug nut cover receiving receptacles of hub caps or rims. The device includes scouring fingers pivotably mounted on a base member and defining a socket for receiving the outer sections of lug nuts or the entirety of lug nut covers. The inner surfaces of the scouring fingers engage for cleaning the lug nut or lug nut cover. A scouring pad is mounted on the inner end of a reciprocating shaft supported by the base member. The scouring pad engages for cleaning the end surfaces of a lug nut or lug nut cover, and is shaped to selectively engage the inner surfaces of the scouring fingers to urge them radially into cleaning engagement with the receptacle surface when the shaft is moved axially into the socket formed by the scouring fingers. Reciprocating or rotating this device will serve to scour the lug nut or lug nut cover and receptacle surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus for treatment of a nose bleed, in its preferred form having a pair of laterally spaced elongated arms pivotably connected to be selectively moved toward and away from each other like scissors or the like. A compression spring engages the arms to urge them into a desired position with respect to each other. Removable absorbent sponges are disposed on the upper ends of the arms and are arranged to engage both the septum of a nostril where typical nose bleeds would occur and the non-bleeding septum. The arms are squeezed to separate them and to insert the sponges into the nostrils and released to apply pressure on the bleeding and non-bleeding septums. The sponge engaging the bleeding area may be saturated with a vasoconstrictive agent to control the bleeding. That sponge may be removed and replaced with a sponge saturated with a local antiseptic and applied to formerly bleeding area in anticipation of cauterizing the same area using a sponge saturated with a cauterizing agent.
