  • Patent number: 7112247
    Abstract: In a method and system for removing particles from a surface, a portable, compressed gas can is provided containing a particle removal gas. An air ionizer unit is connected to the gas can. A high voltage potential is selectively actuated at a time when a nozzle of the gas can is depressed, the high voltage potential being positioned in the gas stream to create air ions in the gas stream which facilitate removal of the particles.

  • Patent number: 6935538
    Abstract: An anti-clog shaker system and method utilizes a shaker container and a cap attached to the shaker container. The cap has a surface with a plurality of apertures through which particles contained within the container will pass when the shaker container is inverted and shook. An agitator is provided comprising a shank having at least one protruding element. As the agitator is rotated, the agitator breaks up particles in the container. A winder is connected to the agitator. A wiper element is also connected to the agitator so that as the winder is rotated to rotate the agitator, the wiper element also wipes away particles which may adhere in a region at the apertures of the shaker cap.

  • Patent number: 4497420
    Abstract: A label dispenser which utilizes an infrared radiator and sensor which is phased and modulated so as to discriminate from ambient light and which has a movable peel bar which can be adjusted for labels of different lengths such that as the labels are removed the machine will automatically advance the next label. The machine is capable of taking labels of varying widths.

  • Patent number: 4362145
    Abstract: A practice device which allows the simulation of firing of a weapon such as a light antitank weapon wherein the weapon can be fired in an armory for practice by soldiers without requiring the actual tactical missile to be fired which requires a large firing range with extreme protection of personnel. The invention comprises attaching a gas powered pellet gun within the barrel of the missile launcher and loading such pellet gun with a round of ammunition after which the gun is cocked and the weapon is sighted toward a target provided therefore and the pellet gun is fired with a suitable trigger for simulating and practicing actual use of the weapon. When the trigger is depressed it causes a solenoid to be momentarily energized, which draws a sear away from a firing cylinder causing actuation of a valve to fire the pellet gun.
