Publication number: 20200072694Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for monitoring a building pressurization without penetrating an envelope of a building. The system includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data comprising program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the system to receive at least one interior pressure signal from at least one interior pressure sensor and at least one exterior pressure signal from at least one exterior pressure sensor, where at least one of the at least one interior pressure signal and the at least one exterior pressure signal are received wirelessly. The system determines an interior pressure value based on the at least one interior pressure signal and an exterior pressure value based on the at least one exterior pressure signal. The system calculates the building pressurization based on a difference between the interior pressure value and the exterior pressure value.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Steve Melink, Bryan Miller, Bryan Evenson, Evan Risley

Patent number: 10470372Abstract: A suspension mechanism for a rotary rake implement incorporates elastomeric shock absorbing members in the corners of a tubular member situated in between the corners of a square rod formed as part of the wheel assembly and received within the tubular member such that the corners of the square rod assert a pre-load spring force on the tubular member when the implement is in an extended operating configuration. The movement of the implement into a folded transport configuration with the weight of the implement supported on the transport wheel assemblies causes a deflection of the square rod that compresses the elastomeric shock absorbing members within the corners of the tubular member to provide maximum suspension for the implement when in transport, while providing minimum suspension when the implement is in operation. An end cap on the square rod engages a stop formed on the tubular member to control rotation.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Pequea Machine, Inc.Inventors: James Westlake, Isaac Glick, Bryan Miller

Patent number: 10405669Abstract: A device and method for maintaining a user's legs in an elevated position. In particular, a base plate, a plurality of retractable leg members, a plurality of hinges, an attachment means. The base plate is adaptable to attach with the user's leg or footwear. The plurality of retractable leg members is adaptable to operate in a deployed configuration and/or in a stored configuration, and a locking mechanism is presented. In use, the device allows the user's leg to rest such that the foot is tilted inward or outward from the body. Finally, in the stored configuration, the plurality of retractable leg members becomes parallel with the rear surface of the base plate, thereby allowing the user to perform body movements without removing the leg support device.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Inventor: Bryan Miller
