Abstract: A base with a supply connection for connecting the base to a water supply. A distributor head is revolvubly mounted to the base for rotating with respect to the base. There are at least two jet arms rotatably combined to the distributor head. Each of the jet arms comprises of at least one jet nozzle in fluid communication with the supply connection for disbursing water from the water supply. The jet arms are each rotatable to change the area of coverage of the sprinkler.

Abstract: Packaging comprising of a display structure for displaying the hand tool. A retaining structure is combined to the display structure for engaging the working end of the ratchet tool with friction to prevent rotation of the working end. A securement structure is combined to the display structure and is configured to secure a portion of the ratchet tool in a manner that permits rotation of the handle of the ratchet tool relative to the working end while preventing the ratchet tool from being separated from the securement structure.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for prioritizing packets at an Ethernet interface of a network device based on the destination MAC address in the packets. The Ethernet interface has a MAC table that lists the MAC addresses that can be accepted by the Ethernet interface. The MAC table can include one or more MAC addresses associated with low priority packets and one or more MAC addresses associated with high priority packets. When conditions at the network device exceed a threshold, the MAC table can be updated to disable or delete the MAC addresses associated with the low priority packets. By disabling the MAC addresses for low priority packets, only the MAC addresses associated with high priority packets remain in the MAC table, thereby enabling only high priority packets to be recognized and passed by the Ethernet interface to the CPU.

Abstract: In a method of treating a particulate landscaping material, the material is fed into a mixing chamber and an additive mixture including a functional additive and a carrier is delivered to spray nozzles within the mixing chamber. At least one of the spray nozzles is operated to direct an atomized spray into the mixing chamber. The material is agitated within the mixing chamber during and/or after directing the atomized spray into the mixing chamber. The material is then conveyed with the additive mixture applied thereto to a mixing chamber outlet. During these steps, a volumetric flow rate of the particulate landscape material through the mixing chamber is intermittently determined. The determined volumetric flow rate is intermittently compared to a predetermined target flow rate of the particulate landscape material. Based on this comparison, the volumetric flow rate of the particulate landscape material through the mixing chamber is adjusted.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a broadcast spreader includes a gate adjustment dial mounted on, and generally coaxial with, a handle portion of a handle assembly of the spreader. Rotation of the gate adjustment dial in a first direction causes an increase in a current maximum discharge rate of the spreader and rotation of the gate adjustment dial in a second direction causes a decrease in the current maximum discharge rate of the spreader.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are defined for coating a particulate material. The apparatus includes a mixer having a mixing chamber. A quantity of particulate material is fed into an inlet of the mixing chamber. An agitator is provided for mixing and conveying the particulate material. A feed system is also provided for delivery of a coating into the mixing chamber. The coating is delivered as an atomized spray directed at the mixing particulate material within the mixing chamber. A controller is provided for adjusting the flow of the coating into the mixing chamber based on the volumetric feed rate of the particulate material.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a flywheel, a first pivotable caliper, a first magnet supported by the first caliper opposite the flywheel, a second pivotable caliper and a second magnet supported by the second caliper opposite the flywheel. In one implementation, the apparatus further includes a first cam follower coupled to the first caliper, a second cam follower coupled to the second caliper and at least one cam member including a first cam surface against which the first cam follower moves and a second cam surface against which the second cam follower moves, wherein movement of the at least one cam member pivots the first caliper and the second caliper to move the first magnet and the second magnet relative to the flywheel. In another implementation, the apparatus further includes a strain gauge carried by the first caliper to output signals indicating braking torque.
