Publication number: 20240049658Abstract: A synthetic soil substrate system has a plurality of synthetic soil substrate layers that are individually designed to promote plant growth as the roots grow into the layer and as a function of the growth stage. The synthetic soil substrate layers may be planar or may be concentrically arranged with a first synthetic soil substrate ring layer being configured inside of a second synthetic soil substrate ring layer. A synthetic soil substrate has pores that are configured for plant growth and retention and/or deliver of water and growth additives. The average pore size of a first synthetic soil substrate layer may be substantially different from the average pore size of an adjacent synthetic soil substrate layer. Also, the pore structure or shape of the pores may be different between synthetic soil substrate layers, The synthetic soil substrate may have an integral growth additive retained in the pores.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventor: Jay Daniel Sexton

Patent number: 9587760Abstract: A portable apparatus for operatively coupling a source of rotary torque to the rim of a valve handwheel comprises a coupling hub, to which three attachment arms are connected by hinge-type joints. The three attachments arms are equidistantly distributed around the perimeter of the coupling hub and extend radially downward and outward from the hub at an acute extension angle to the hub's central axis. The distal end of each attachment arm comprises a clamp, which is releasably attachable to the rim of the valve handwheel. A coupling stem extends upward from the coupling hub in alignment with the hub's central axis. The coupling stem is configured to connect to the source of rotary torque, so as to transmit the torque through the attachment arms to the rim of the valve handwheel. The length of the extension arms and/or their extension angle can be adjusted for various sizes of valve handwheels to be engaged.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Inventor: Daniel Sexton
