The Loose Density Zone (300) covers between 20% to 40% of the bottom surface area (60). The Transition Density Zone covers between 30% to 50% of the first layer top surface area (85).

Abstract: A valve and connector assembly for interconnection with and rinsing of sewage hoses including sewage discharge hoses and connectors for Recreational Vehicles. The assembly comprises a connector for interconnection with a sewage hose having connectors compatible with a RV sewage discharge valve. The assembly has a garden hose connector to receive a garden hose hookup to direct water into the contaminated sewage hose for rinsing prior to storage of the sewage hose. A diffuser within the connector causes the water stream to spray thereby rinsing the sewage hose.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of charcoal, fuel gas, and potassium from a biomass gassifier.

Abstract: The Nut Cracker Apparatus (1) receives a nut at the top surface of an anvil. A plunger, aligned with the anvil, is moved vertically, by rack and pinion gear operation of a handle lever means, into contact with the nut thereby exerting cracking or crushing pressure on the shell or hull. The anvil is generally centrally positioned on a chamber floor which is downwardly sloping toward a tray which receives nut meat discharged from the anvil and floor into the tray.

Abstract: This is an apparatus providing access and storage for vehicles. More particularly, the invention constitutes step, stair or ladder access to the cab or sear of a tractor and utility storage for a vehicle or tractor operator. The apparatus is substantially planar and elongated extending from the vehicle to provide a step portion and a storage portion.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a vegetable delivery device for use in trimming roots and tops from bulbs such as onions. The device comprises a frame, a bottom conveyance means and a top conveyance means composed of a chain and gear system with a common synchronized drive. Concave cups are synchronously positioned in opposition to grasp and secure a vegetable as the conveyance means passes the vegetable to, through and past a cutting means. A wheel or skid means exerts a downward force against the top conveyance means proximal the cutting means as an additional manner of securing the vegetable as it passes the cutting means.

Abstract: This invention is a bird seed collector providing a suspended reservoir beneath a wild bird feeder.

Abstract: A waste liquid treatment system includes a plurality of flow control elements presenting a plurality of waste liquid flow control surfaces. A biofilm covers at least some of the waste liquid flow control surfaces. The flow control surfaces are adapted and constructed to produce alternating venturis and variable speed votices as waste liquid flows through the flow control elements. In an embodiment, each of the flow control elements comprises a series of fins and vanes forming the water flow control surfaces. Each of the flow control elements can include an inner member having a longitudinal axis, with a plurality of vanes extending radially from the longitudinal axis. A cylindrical outer member can be provided surrounding the inner member, the cylindrical outer member having an outer surface including a plurality of radially projecting longitudinal fins formed thereon. In a specific embodiment, the inner member has eight vanes, and the cylindrical outer member is provided with four fins.

Abstract: A method of producing a biological fungicide composed of milk products, namely powdered cow milk, cow milk culture or bacteria culture, and a calcium carbonate. These components can be mixed to form a mixture, stored for long-term at below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or held below 75 degrees Fahrenheit for one month. Upon application of the mixture, fulvic acid may be added to the mixture.

Abstract: An apparatus used with a range pole and survey instruments for leveling and setting elevations and a method of use of the apparatus. A frame holds a range pole, on an embed plate, without assistance of a surveyor's assistant while a surveyor communicates with an iron worker to effect elevation adjustments of the embed plate.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for storage and retrieval, at a grave site, of genealogical information.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for improved safety in operation of a crane relative to the transit of a load overhead of workmen. A initiating operator transmits a RF signal to sound a first horn alarm when a lift commences. The initiating operator transmits a second RF signal, when the transit of the load commences, to sound a second horn alarm which operates asynchronously relative to the first horn alarm. A terminating operator disengages the horn alarms when the load is placed. Workmen will hear a Doppler effect as indicative of the direction of travel and position of the load.

Abstract: This invention discloses a chin and head support device or brace enabling the head to move at will while allowing a rest at the chin and while supporting the weight of the head.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for controlling motion in machine tools, industrial robots, and motion stages over a computer serial port. From a process or listing of coordinate data points which define the path of two (or more) servo axes, a computer outputs serial port data to distributed Control Modules which regulate an analog torque or velocity command signal to control each axes' servo drive in a manner that implements a precisely interpolated tool path. A digital I/O link is utilized to synchronize the initial serial port data stream and to compensate for the drift of the individual processor clocks within the separate Control Modules, thereby eliminating the need for network determinism and also reducing hardware costs.

Abstract: A method of producing an isotope comprising directing electrons at a converting material coated with a coating material, the coating material having an atomic number of n, whereby interaction of the electrons with the converting material produces photons, and whereby the photons produced interact with the coating material to produce an isotope having an atomic number of n−1. In preferred embodiments, the converting material is Tungsten, the coating material having an atomic number of n is Radium-226, and the isotope having an atomic number of n−1 is Radium-225.
