  • Patent number: 11673627
    Abstract: A boat wind and spray protection device which includes at least one panel joined to a coupler-hinge-actuator that is capable of being fixed in relation to a boat. For center console boats, a set of two panels, located on either side of the console of the boat, are designed to open from a position generally parallel and adjacent to the console sides, to an angle and distance sufficient to provide improved passenger protection from wind and spray. The panels may be powered electronically by control buttons that operate electronic actuators, that in turn power the movement of the panels between generally closed to generally open positions, as well as intermediate positions.

  • Patent number: 9440174
    Abstract: A filter used to reduce the emission of silica particles used in hydraulic fracturing. The silica reduction cover is a custom fit filter installed onto vent hatches of proppant storage trailers. Proppant storage trailers, or “frac sanders,” have a series of vent hatches that release air and fine particles into the atmosphere during material transfer operations. The silica reduction cover is comprised of filter material and permits the controlled release of high pressure air at each vent hatch while reducing sand particle loss. The silica reduction cover maintains proppant sand product in the trailer for production use while significantly reducing the emission of airborne sand particles in the immediate work and adjoining site areas. The silica reduction cover incorporates a viewing window so that workers may monitor proppant levels in the storage trailer while the silica reduction cover is installed.
