Abstract: A T-post extension is disclosed for extending the effective length of an existing T-post to increase the height of a fence. The T-post extension has a plurality of engagement members that slidably engage a top portion of a T-post at opposing surfaces of the T-post to provide steadfast coupling of the T-post extension with the existing T-post. The T-post extension includes a body section generally matching the cross section of the T-post and a plurality of tines extending outward from an end of the body section. The tines are configured to slide over and engage an end of the T-post to extend the length of the T-post. The tines may be configured to engage one or more internal corners of the T-post so that existing wire running at the top of the T-post is uninterrupted.

Abstract: A process for treating animal and plant waste includes chemical treatment to deodorize the waste and kill bacteria, to obtain a desired nutritional balance, and to ensure desired product properties. The treated waste is also treated to inactivate seeds, and hammermilled for physical and chemical consistency. The material is sized and formed into a final product that can be further treated or used as such. The material can also be treated with microbial agents, sterilized by thermophilic anaerobial and thermal means. Configuration of the process steps can be varied over a considerable range.

Abstract: A gas/liquid contact media for use in an evaporative cooler has a fibrous material structure impregnated with a polymer-based continuous phase designed to have solubility and interfacial tension properties that promote intimate wetting with in service water while inhibiting scale deposition, and an overall cationic charge on the polymer to repel positively charged particles or ions in the water in order to further prevent scale build-up on the media.
