Patent number: 8978226Abstract: A tool for the removal of connectors from pipes is disclosed that, in one embodiment, enables the removal of connectors from large pipes and in another embodiment from a size range of pipes. Movable and stationary gripping and pushing elements are affixed to handles to enable a pipe to be firmly gripped between a movable gripping jaw and a stationary gripping jaw and the connector prevented from movement by the movable pusher jaw and the stationary pusher jaw. The handles can compress around a pivot point or slide on a bar. In another embodiment the movable and stationary gripping and pushing elements are removable from the body of the tool.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Direct Source International, LLCInventors: Darren Kady, David Lee Showalter

Patent number: 8963681Abstract: The operating control system can be use on electronic equipment, such as cell phones, computers, engine analyzers, etc. An input device, programming a single or multiple devices, enables the input of user access data by a primary user for multiple modes. Through use of a black list, blocked numbers can be stored or immediately deleted with notification going to the user as well as the owner of the blocked number. A temporary shut down feature enables the ring tone on the device to be shut down for a programmed period of time and reactivated at the end of that time.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Direct Source International, LLCInventor: Darren Kady

Patent number: 8289132Abstract: The operating control system can be use on electronic equipment, such as cell phones, computers, engine analyzers, etc. An input device, programming a single or multiple devices, enables the input of user access data by a primary user for multiple modes. Access for secondary users can be controlled and monitored by the primary user. The system requires password entry upon the total loss of power, shutting down the system if the password is not obtained. In another embodiment the system differentiates between power outages, removal of power, loss due to water and normal loss of power due to use. A further embodiment tracks usage of the device by units, enabling primary user refill of the units.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2008Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Direct Source International, Inc.Inventor: Darren Kady

Patent number: 7394347Abstract: The operating control system can be use on electronic equipment, such as cell phones, computers, engine analyzers, etc. An input device enables the input of user access data and a readout panel monitors the equipment status. A programmable feature selection member enables the user to select at least one programmable feature and respective activation time period. An internal member controls operation of the equipment by controlling access to one or more said programmable features based upon user selection, to enable full or partial activation of the device. A user is able to program specific events, such as TV shows, to be activated at specific times with controlled access by secondary access codes.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2003Date of Patent: July 1, 2008Assignee: World Wide Innovations, LLCInventor: Darren Kady
