  • Patent number: 11776082
    Abstract: A health and safety compliance system includes processor(s), where the processor(s) are communicatively coupled to a user interface. The user interface includes a display screen, where the display screen is capable of displaying electronic image(s) and is communicatively coupled to the processor(s). The system also includes (i) a sensor unit that is communicatively coupled to the processor(s) and is capable of detecting motion of a user, (ii) a liquid dispensing unit that is communicatively coupled to the processor(s), and (iii) a temperature detection unit that is communicatively coupled to the processor(s).

  • Publication number: 20130200079
    Abstract: An above ground liquid storage system includes a substantially impermeable liner bounding an interior for receiving a liquid. A plurality of supporting structures and a base support the liner and the liquid when the liquid is received in the interior. The liner extends from the base over a top end of the plurality of supporting structures and descends to the ground to form a cavity under the plurality of supporting structures. A first supporting structure of the plurality of supporting structures includes a leg member supporting the liner and a support member connected to the leg member and holding the leg member upright. At least one of the leg member and the support member includes a releasably attachable extension portion to allow separation of the extension portion from a remainder of at least of the leg member and support member.

A plurality of supporting structures and a base support the liner and the liquid when the liquid is received in the interior. The liner extends from the base over a top end of the plurality of supporting structures and descends to the ground to form a cavity under the plurality of supporting structures. A temperature controller in communication with the cavity controls a temperature of the cavity to control the temperature of liquid in the interior.

  • Patent number: 5595659
    Abstract: A filter material for removing chlorine from cold water used in preparing a human-consumable beverage having at least one layer of a mat of laid fibers of cellulosic fibers and synthetic textile fibers and mixtures thereof. A synthetic hydrophilic, food-grade latex binder deposited onto the fibers within the mat in an amount sufficient to so bind the fibers together within the mat that during a filtration of cold water through the mat no substantial amount of fibers are displaced therefrom and in an amount insufficient to substantially reduce a gravity flow rate of cold water through the mat to less than about 0.3 liter per minute per 100 square centimeters of the mat. A water-insoluble chlorine adsorbent or absorbent solid powder disposed on the binder such that no more than 65% of the total outside surface area of the powder is substantially contacted by the binder.
