  • Publication number: 20230159288
    Abstract: Loading dock signal light change indicator apparatuses and systems including light sensors that detect a change from illumination of a red signal light to illumination of a green signal light from a loading dock signal light assembly, and that generate one or more detection signals in response to that detected change. The apparatuses and systems may additionally include one or more transmitters that transmits one or more wireless signals in response to the one or more light sensor signals, and a receiver that receives the one or more wireless signals from the transmitter(s). The receiver may be a mobile device, such as a smart phone. The receiver may then emit an audio, visual, an/or tactile signal in response to receiving the one or more wireless signals.

  • Publication number: 20210245327
    Abstract: A storage shield for a disc of an angle grinder is provided according to the present invention. The storage shield includes a first shield member and a second shield member. Each of the first and second shield members includes a front face, an opposing rear face positioned parallel to and a distance apart from the front face, an end wall that joins an upper edge of the front face to an upper edge of the rear face, and a front face opening between a lower edge of the front face and a lower edge of the rear face, and an opening in a center area of the front face at the lower edge thereof. A pivot hinge assembly pivotally connects a first end of the first shield member to a first end of the second shield member. Fastening means for affixing the storage shield and stored angle grinder to a worksite surface are affixed to the rear face of one of the first shield member or second shield member. A method of protecting a disc of an angle grinder when not in use is also provided. First, the storage shield is opened.

  • Patent number: 10550644
    Abstract: A bit for drilling a wellbore includes: a shank having a coupling formed at an upper end thereof; a body mounted to a lower end of the shank; and a cutting face forming a lower end of the bit. The cutting face includes: a blade protruding from the body; a leading cutter including: a substrate mounted in a pocket formed in a leading edge of the blade; and a cutting table made from a superhard material, mounted to the substrate, and having a non-planar working face with a cutting feature; and a backup cutter mounted in a lower face of the blade at a position trailing the leading cutter and made from a composite material including a ceramic or cermet matrix impregnated with a superhard material.

  • Publication number: 20130045152
    Abstract: The quest for making pure boron has been continuing for over 200 years. Most common method has been by hydrogen reduction of boron halides on a hot filament, and this has not been an economical approach. Other techniques using magnesiothermic reduction or electrolysis of oxide compounds of boron produced impure boron. Present invention describes techniques of making pure boron in the amorphous as well as crystalline form—applying thermochemical principles in an efficient manner. The present invention shows that boron halides can be reduced by alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, aluminum or silicon, as well as by alkaline earth borides, aluminum borides, silicon borides into pure elemental boron.

  • Patent number: 6575436
    Abstract: An evaporative cooler (10) includes a housing having aligned upper and base panels (40, 50), and one or more air pervious side panels (70) peripherally disposed therebetween. An air inlet (52) is formed in the upper panel and the base panel collects excess water. An air pervious evaporative pad (80) formed of a fibrous material is enclosed within the housing and has a recess (82) formed therein which opens toward the air inlet. A fan (30) secured to the top panel delivers air ambient the fan into the housing and through the evaporative pad where it is cooled by an evaporative process, and the cooled air is discharged through the air outlets. A conduit and flow control system (21, 26, 27, 28, 29) is provided to supply evaporation water (25) to the evaporative pad at a rate substantially equal to the rate at which the water evaporates from the pad.
