  • Publication number: 20230278783
    Abstract: An in-ground apparatus includes a receptacle and a liner into which the receptacle can be placed and removed. The liner may be a molded plastic liner having a tapering body to permit stacking. The lower margin includes a set of seats for anchor fittings in the form of re-bar prongs that, when installed, extend radially outwardly from the liner. The seats, and hence the prongs, are located upwardly of the bottom edge of the liner so that they are embedded above and below when concrete is poured around the bottom of the liner. The receptacle is formed to contain liquids, such as used cooking oil and hot grease. It has a heating element wrapped around the receptacle, and insulation between the receptacle and the liner. There is an internally concealed pump-out with a swiveling access fitting.

  • Publication number: 20230045145
    Abstract: A dome inhaler system is provided. The dome inhaler system includes a transparent dome with an opening designed to be placed over a pet's head to facilitate the pet's breathing of medicine dispensed within the dome. The system also includes an inhaler flange designed to mate an inhaler with the dome's opening to dispense a dose of medicine (preferably aerosolized) into the dome. Once the medicine is dispensed into the dome, the inhaler flange may be removed, and the dome may be placed over the head of a pet for the pet to freely breathe in the medicine. The system also allows for the metered or continuous introduction of therapeutic gasses and other concentrated atmospheres to the subject while the subject's head is within the dome. The dome may then be easily removed by lifting it off of the pet's head.

  • Patent number: 10084841
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the playback of media content via a website accessed by a user computer are described. According to aspects, the methods and systems may access and retrieve various data associated with media content such as website context data, content data of the media content itself, and engagement data related to an interaction by a user with the media content playback. The methods and systems may analyze any combination of the data to identify a relevant media file that may be of interest to the user and provide the media file to the user computer for playback by the user. The analysis models may be continuously updated and used to improve media selection and streamline partnerships with third-party entities.

  • Patent number: 8997643
    Abstract: A waste containment apparatus fits within, the same physical envelope as a typical 6 cubic yard bin. The apparatus has lifting fittings to permit conventional lifting and dumping by a garbage truck. The bin has, internally, a compactor including a motor and a compaction head driven by the motor. The unit has a single point power connection. The working mechanical assemblies and the electrical control unit are mounted well above the inlet chute. The inlet chute is a front or rear access chute, such that the lifting height of the inlet chute is significantly lower than the top opening level of the bin generally. The unit has an internal refuse flow accumulation path, and internal members such as deflector plates oriented to urge the refuse to fill and compact more evenly than otherwise. The unit may have a liquid drain and collection sump. The sump may have a sump heater.
