Abstract: Systems and methods to vent a tank to enhance transporting asphalt when positioned in the tank may include connecting a vapor box to a tank. The vapor box may include one or more vents apertures and a valve associated with the one or more vent apertures and positioned to provide fluid flow between the interior of the vapor box and the exterior. The systems and methods may also include communication via a selector with the valve to cause the valve to switch between an open condition and a closed condition. The selector may be located remotely from the valve, and the systems and methods may also include communication with an indicator via one or more of the valve or the selector to provide an indication of one or more of the valve in the open condition or the valve in the closed condition.

Abstract: A device for relieving foot or heel pain having of a top and bottom horizontal cylindrical members attached by flexible, adjustable cords. The first cylindrical member is placed under the affected foot while second cylindrical member is placed over the knee and held in place to provide resistance. The bottom cylindrical member is used to provide a gentle massage to the affected foot while the foot is held in the flex position.

Abstract: A hand tool includes an elongated handle suitably sized and shaped for handling HMA, and an implement attached to a distal end of the elongated handle. Such an implement includes: a non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer, and a metal core directly attached to the non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer, and a non-stick, asphalt-resistant bottom layer directly attached to the metal core. Notably, the metal core is intercalated between the non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer and the non-stick, asphalt-resistant bottom layer. Advantageously, each of the non-stick, asphalt-resistant top layer and the non-stick, asphalt-resistant bottom layer prohibits hot mix asphalt from adhering onto the implement.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for painting float glass in particular using a production line that may also be used as or is similar to a mirror line, to produce decorative glass panels. In an embodiment of the invention, painted glass tiles are cut from the glass panels after the paint has dried/cured using a typical glass panel cutter. As such, a mass production technique is provided for making painted glass tiles, particularly for residential use.

Abstract: A cellular telephone with a message recorder built into its handset for conveniently recording selected portions of a cellular telephone call. In the preferred embodiment, the message recorder is a digital type message recorder which includes control buttons located on the handset which enable the user to selectively record, play, rewind, forward, and erase messages. The message recorder is connected to the cellular telephone's earpiece so that the recorded message can be played back therethrough for greater privacy and improved hearing. An optional switch is connected between the cellular telephone circuit and the handset's microphone so that a message spoken into the microphone may be recorded.
