Publication number: 20240043774Abstract: The invention includes a solid rinse aid that is particularly designed for extrusion solid formation and which is effective for creating spotless surfaces after rinsing. According to the invention, application has identified the critical combination of solid surfactants, coupling agents, hydrotrope, and hardening agents that is acceptable in the extrusion process to create a solid. The hydrotrope includes one or more short-chain alkylbenzene and/or alkyl naphthalene sulfonates. The composition hardens quickly but not so quick as to negatively impact the extrusion process. The compositions may also be used to form pressed or cast solids.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Janel Marie Kieffer, Katherine Molinaro, Gary Becker, Tobias Foster, Karina Labusga

Publication number: 20230225263Abstract: An improved apparatus for growing cannabis indoors with an improved vertical lighting system, raised horizontally disposed planters and vertical plant training wires. The cannabis plants are grown in horizontally disposed planters that are installed at a set raised height for easy access. A series of horizontally strung plant training wires are installed vertically above each row of plants. The lighting system is mounted to a powered vertical hanging system such that it can easily be raised and lowered into the space between the rows of plants In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the planter rows are mounted on bearings such that they can be adjusted along the horizontal (x) axis. This allows for denser plant arrangement while still allowing for easy access between rows for plant training and maintenance.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Gary Becker

Publication number: 20070203570Abstract: An expandable intraluminal endoprosthesis including a tubular member (1) a first diameter which permits intraluminal delivery of the member into a lumen of a body passageway, particularly a blood vessel. The tubular member (1) is capable of acquiring a second, expanded and deformed diameter upon the application from the interior of the tubular member of a radially outwardly extending force, which second diameter is variable and dependent on the amount of the force applied to the tubular member. Such a tubular member may be expanded and deformed to expand the lumen of the body passageway. The wall of the tubular member includes a substantially continuous structure (2) of mutually staggered undulations. This structure has been separated from a tube wall and exhibits at lest one pattern which advances substantially helically along a longitudinal axis of the tubular member. Connection elements within the structure connect adjacent undulations to each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2006Publication date: August 30, 2007Inventor: Gary Becker
