Abstract: A method for seasoning food to reduce dietary sodium intakes includes seasoning the food product with sodium chloride having a mean distribution curve size of not more than approximately 20 microns. The amount of sodium chloride included in the seasoned food product to produce the desired flavor intensity takes into account that the sodium chloride exhibits a salt intensity that is greater than a salt intensity of an equal amount of sodium chloride having a mean distribution curve particle size greater than approximately 20 microns.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of open-ended wrenches, and more specifically to a dual pawl assembly which can be used within an open-ended ratchet wrench to facilitate a bi-directional ratcheting motion.

Abstract: The present invention is an equestrian light device comprised of a plurality of lighting elements which can be secured to the bridle, saddle, stirrups and other pieces of tack, and which provides a rider with the ability to view a path before the turning of a horse to go down the path, in addition to illuminating a zone of safety to provide a rider with adequate visibility to discern obstacles that may impede the progress of a horse on a path, or which may startle or injure the animal or rider.

Abstract: A barrel placement device for a skid steer loader is comprised of an attachment plate which attaches to the front of a skid steer loader; tubular support members; and a plurality of barrel pincers with gears that allow the barrel pincers to move in unison with the use of a single hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder has hydraulic lines which connect to the auxiliary controls of a skid steer loader allowing the barrel pincers to be controlled to grasp and release traffic barrels from the interior of the skid steer loader.

Abstract: The present invention is a highly-efficient barrel placement device comprised of an attachment plate which attaches to the front of a skid steer loader; tubular support members; and a plurality of barrel pincers with gears that allow the barrel pincers to move in unison with the use of a single hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder has hydraulic lines which connect to the auxiliary controls of a skid steer loader allowing the barrel pincers to be controlled to grasp and release traffic barrels from the interior of the skid steer loader.

Abstract: A seasoning for food that provides taste enhancement and flavor potentiation is disclosed. The seasoning can be used for reducing dietary sodium intake. The portion of seasoning has a mean particle size of less than or equal to 20 microns. In one embodiment, the invention is a seasoning comprising a first seasoning component including a salt and a second seasoning component selected for at least one of complementing and reducing the amount of the first seasoning component required for flavoring a food product.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus for an infrared heating device comprising a platform attached to a frame of an infrared heating chamber, at least one telescoping member affixed to said platform, and at least one attachment component which fixedly attaches said at least one telescoping members to said truck frame and allows said support bar to be moved along a horizontal axis at varying positions from the back of a vehicle.

Abstract: A central vacuum cleaner system for an automobile which comprises one or more portals located inside the passenger compartment of an automobile and/or in the space optimized canister located in the trunk or rear of the automobile Transitory tubing connects the one or more portals to the space optimized canister wherein debris is collected and stored. Debris can be placed directly in the portal or a hose and/or additional attachments may be attached to the portal. A portal cover covers the one or more portals blocking the portal when debris is not being placed directly in the portal or when no hose is attached. The central vacuum cleaner system may be powered using the automobile's battery or an external battery.

Abstract: A pickup loading hoist for loading and unloading heavy cargo to and from a bed of a pickup without requiring physical exertion by the user and which can be easily disassembled into a compact storage position. The inventive device includes a front frame and a rear frame vertically aligned parallel to one another and removably attachable to the bed of the pickup, an I-beam secured traversely to the front and rear frames and extending a finite distance beyond the rear frame, a sliding member attached to the I-beam, and a winch for manipulating a chain with a hook.
