Abstract: A tire dressing system for efficiently and accurately applying tire dressing to vehicle tires. The tire dressing system generally includes a support unit, a spray unit movably positioned within the support unit, an actuator unit connected to the spray unit, a tire sensor to determine the size of a vehicle tire, and a tire position sensor to determine the location of the vehicle tire. The spray unit includes a hollow cone nozzle telescopically supported within the spray unit to adjust the spray pattern applied to the sidewall of the vehicle tire depending upon the size of the vehicle tire. After the size of the vehicle tire is determined, the proximity of the hollow cone nozzle is adjusted to apply the desired spray pattern to the sidewall. The hollow cone nozzle then applies the dressing to the sidewall of the vehicle tire as the vehicle moves by the spray unit.
Abstract: A gun bore cleaning system for efficiently cleaning a bore of a gun. The gun bore cleaning system includes a cord having a plurality of receiver openings for removably receiving a corresponding plurality of swabs. The cord is extendable into the bore of a gun for cleaning the bore in a reciprocating manner. A brush may also be removably attached to the cord, wherein the brush has a plurality of radially extending bristles. The swabs and the brush may also be non-removably attached to the cord.
Abstract: A spray cooling system for extreme environments for providing a desired enclosed environment for electronic devices regardless of external environmental conditions. The spray cooling system for extreme environments includes an enclosure that isolates the electronic components from the external environment, a spray unit within the enclosure for thermally managing one or more electronic devices, a pump unit fluidly connected to the spray unit, a heat exchanger unit fluidly connected to the pump, and a control valve fluidly connected between the heat exchanger unit and the pump. An independent chamber preferably houses a heater unit, a first power supply and a control unit, whereby the heater unit initially heats the coolant within the independent chamber to a minimum operating temperature prior to operation of the electronic components.

Abstract: A liquid thermal management socket system for thermally managing an electronic device in a socket. The liquid thermal management socket system includes a thermal management unit having a chamber for receiving one or more electronic devices, a plurality of first connectors within the thermal management unit for electrically coupling with the electronic device, and a plurality of second connectors electrically coupled to the first connectors, wherein the second connectors extend from the thermal management unit for electrically coupling within a socket unit on a board. The thermal management unit may have a cap member attachable to a base portion in a sealed manner. The chamber within the thermal management unit may thermally manage an electronic device within via spray cooling, liquid immersion or other liquid cooling method.

Abstract: A plastic bag holder system for allowing an individual to reuse a plastic grocery bag as a garbage bag or storage bag. The plastic bag holder system includes a loop member, a first arm attached to the loop member on one side, a second arm attached to the loop member opposite of the first arm, and a plurality of brackets attached to the arms for securing to a vertical structure with conventional fasteners. The arms each have an angled member that is angled upwardly toward a rear section thereof for catchably receiving the handles of the plastic bag.
Abstract: A new Lever Mounted Deer Stand for offering a quick and easy attachment of a tree stand to a tree. The inventive device includes a tree stand, a tension clamp means, and a penetrating means. In use, the present invention is a method comprising the steps of tranporting the device to a desired location, leaning the device up against a tree, climbing a ladder of the device, wrapping the tree with a chain, hooking a tension lever means with the chain, clamping the tree with the tension lever means, forcing a penetrating means into the tree, rehooking the tension lever means with the chain, and repeating said clamping, forcing, and rehooking steps until the penetrating means is fully inserted into the tree and the chain is tight.
