  • Publication number: 20230272914
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of a pelletized fuel delivery and combustion system are disclosed. Certain embodiments are configured to be detachably mounted to the exterior of a kettle-styled grill such as, but not limited to, a Weber® charcoal grill. When mounted to the kettle-styled grill, a firebox is external to the kettle and delivers thermal energy and smoke to the interior of the kettle by, and through, at least one damper port in the kettle. In this way, embodiments of the solution do not require significant, if any, modification to the kettle-styled grill in order for the kettle-styled grill to use a pelletized fuel source. Embodiments may also include temperature loop control and/or a thermal energy and smoke distribution plate configured to be set within the kettle of the grill.

  • Patent number: 11358853
    Abstract: A soda gun holster assembly having a holster housing with a mounting bracket operably configured to selectively couple with a countertop and a sidewall that defines a soda gun storage zone where a liquid dispensing gun can be inserted therein from the front of the holster housing. The holster housing includes a flexible U-shaped clip disposed within the soda gun storage zone that is operably configured to receive and retain the soda gun, namely the nozzle portion of the soda gun, therein. The soda gun holster assembly may also include a liquid capturing basin selectively removably coupled to the holster housing for retaining and directing errant and/or dripped liquid from the soda gun to another area.

  • Patent number: 10815046
    Abstract: A size-selective aerosol nozzle that includes an impactor body with an internal enclosed sidewall spanning in a directional longitudinally from a distal end of a distal spray end to a central sidewall terminal end and defining a central spray channel and a fluid segregation member. The segregation member may include an internal enclosed sidewall defining at least one liquid removal channel spanning laterally away from a central spray channel, defining a second aerosol discharge outlet in fluid communication with the central spray channel, and spans into the central spray channel to bifurcate the central spray channel into the liquid removal channel and an aerosol discharge channel. The fluid segregation member has an inner surface defining the liquid removal channel and is in an overlapping configuration with the internal enclosed sidewall to mechanically segregate emitted aerosol spray from the first aerosol discharge outlet of a portable hand-held aerosol spray assembly.

  • Patent number: 10521477
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing location searches using geohash codes. A common prefix for a plurality of geohash codes associated with a respective one of a plurality of bounding boxes is identified, wherein each of the plurality of bounding boxes represents a geographic area. A location identifier from another computing device is received. A geohash code based at least in part on the location identifier is identified. The geohash code is then compared with the common prefix for each of the plurality of bounding boxes. Next, a list of common prefixes that match the geohash code. A list of respective geographic areas is returned to the other computing device based at least in part on the list of common prefixes.
