Publication number: 20120012046Abstract: The invention relates to a bed bug detection device (10) comprising a refuge (16) which elicits a taxis response from bed bugs and a non-trapping indicator surface (18), on which the bed bugs may leave indicators of their presence, such as faecal matter or cast skins. The refuge is positioned in close proximity to said non-trapping indicator surface such that the bed bugs can leave an indicator of their presence as they travel across the indicator surface on their way to or from the refuge. Preferably the non-trapping indicator surface takes the form of a skirt which surrounds a refuge made of corrugated paper. The invention also provides a passive method of detecting the presence of bed bugs without their capture by detecting the presence of indicators rather than the bed bugs per se.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2010Publication date: January 19, 2012Inventor: David Cain

Patent number: 7992840Abstract: The disclosure provides an efficient design for a pressure rated oil field gate valve that meets the challenges of providing a quality product with minimal increase in price due to the design. It minimizes weight increase in the valve body over valves not meeting strict pressure specifications, due to strengthening ribs at strategic places without having to increase the overall body size as in commonplace in the industry. It provides redundancy of seals with minimal costs and no change in seat pockets over valves not capable of meeting the higher standards. It provides multiple shear points along a valve stem that can still allow a user to operate the valve from external to the valve bonnet. It further provides for additional sealing of the valve bonnet to the valve body by using elasticity in metal over long lengths to maintain a compression seal between the bonnet and the body.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2008Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: T-3 Property Holdings, Inc.Inventors: David Earl Cain, Jeremy David Cain

Publication number: 20090182216Abstract: Moisture may build up inside an alcohol monitor that is securely attached to a human subject due to the inlet air from the subject's skin surface which constantly emits water vapor in the form of insensible skin perspiration. As the warm moist air which has very high humidity flows along the air flow path through decreasing temperatures within the alcohol monitor, moisture will be removed from the air through condensation. The condensation problem is solved by lowering the humidity level in the air sample by mixing the very humid air sample from the body with less humid ambient air, which increases the dew point for condensation. Increasing the dew point in the air sample means that there must be a greater change in temperature along the air flow path of the air sample in order to cause the moisture in the air sample to condense and become water.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Inventors: William James Roushey, III, Jeffrey Scott Hawthorne, Mark Henry Wojcik, David Cain Collins, Steven Keith McGee

Publication number: 20080009693Abstract: Moisture buildup inside an alcohol monitor that is securely attached to a human subject is due to the inlet air from the subject's skin surface, which constantly emits water vapor in the form of insensible skin perspiration. As the warm moist air flows along the air flow path through decreasing temperatures within the alcohol monitor, moisture will be removed from the air through condensation. The present invention solves this condensation problem by first simplifying the air flow path, eliminating barriers that can trap water. Second, additional changes to the air flow path take advantage of gravity, allowing water to drain out of the alcohol monitor. Third, by better balancing the volume of air sample between the sample collection chamber and the fuel cell sample chamber, the total volume of air taken in is reduced, resulting in an overall reduction in the volume of potential moisture introduced into the alcohol monitor.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2006Publication date: January 10, 2008Inventors: Jeffrey Scott Hawthorne, Mark Henry Wojcik, William James Roushey, David Cain Collins
