Abstract: A stovetop system comprising a stovetop, wound around a burner, supports a vessel to be heated. The hot gas from the burner is guided through an extended path under the vessel's bottom to improve the heating efficiency of a stove on which this standalone stovetop system is installed. Improvements in safety, vessel adaptability, and automatic temperature control of the heating process are also achieved.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and devices for providing injection ports to a vessel comprising a solution.

Abstract: A toilet flushing system comprising a cylindrical receiver into which flush water is received through a fill valve; a float operating within a float chamber that is fluidly connected to said cylindrical receiver to open and close said fill valve according to the water level in said cylindrical receiver; and a displacer rotatably attached to an axis inside said cylindrical receiver to displace any required fraction of water from said cylindrical receiver into a bowl relative to the angle of rotation.

Abstract: A solid-state anemometer mounted to an upper location of a load boom and detecting a wind speed reading at the upper location on the load boom. A wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the solid-state anemometer and obtains the wind speed reading and wirelessly transmits the same to a receiver.

Abstract: This invention eliminates the wastage of water from the toilet flushing systems and also solves the problems that commonly exist in the toilet systems today. It uses a leak trap system that shuts down incoming water in case of a leak in the flushing system. It provides a simple and cost effective solution.

Abstract: This invention relates to the art of removing snow from driveways, walkways, roads, and the like. The snow removing system removes snow from the driveway and disposes it. The system can be operated by a person or by a computer program or by remote controller. The system comprises of components that are relatively small that can be easily assembled and stowed away after use. The system is easy use and does not require manual labor other than an easy setup and dismantle operations.

Abstract: A method of removing material such as surface treatments, metal coatings, and other material layers from an edge region of a metal work piece where they could potentially contaminate a nearby weld. According to one embodiment, a scraper tool includes a body having a base portion and a tab portion, and several scraping elements attached to the base portion. During operation, the scraping elements scrape one or more surfaces of the edge region so that the depth to which the scraping element engage the metal work piece is generally affected by the amount of rotation of the scraper tool about a pivot axis.

Abstract: A value engineered latch system for latching and unlatching closures in plurality of stages namely fully open, partially open and fully closed comprising: a spring comprising of a metal rod with plurality of wound segments, bent segments and free ends; a metal striker comprising of profiled edges and slots that interact with said spring; a self presenting secondary release system actuated by the movement of the said spring; a base plate that supports the said spring and the said self presenting secondary release system.

Abstract: A filter assembly for filtering contaminants from a fluid stream. The housing of the filter assembly is preferably made of fiber reinforced plastic to prevent corrosion from the fluid stream, and can hold one or two filter elements or cartridges, each of which can hold a single filter, or multiple filters. Flow in filter housings having two elements can be unidirectional or opposed.

Abstract: An air/oil separating device for removing oil that has become entrained in blow-by gases passing through a crankcase of an internal combustion engine. The air/oil separating device includes a spiral element forming a spiral passageway and a perforated tube. As the air/oil stream passes through the spiral passageway and contacts its walls, a certain amount of the entrained oil is removed or scavenged such that it collects at the bottom of the spiral passageway. The treated air stream, now having less entrained oil, passes into the perforated tube and exits at an upper axial end, while the collected oil drains back into the crankcase via a lower axial end of the perforated tube. The air/oil separating device can be incorporated within a cap assembly also having an oil-fill cap and/or a PCV valve.
