  • Drywall repair kit
    Patent number: 8991128
    Abstract: The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, is a portable drywall/plaster repair kit comprised of at least one pencil like structure comprised of a first end and a second end; a sharpener for sharpening at least one of said first end and said second end; and a cutting device for scoring or cutting the sharpened first or second end. The drywall/plaster repair kit eliminates the waiting time typically associated with other drywall/plaster repair methods and devices, and enables a user to repair a hole in drywall and/or plaster with a single application, thereby saving time.

  • Analytical apparatus
    Patent number: 4201643
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring low concentrations of certain ions present in a flowing fluid is described in which an isokinetic sample is passed through an electro-separative cell wherein, under the influence of an applied electrical field microgram quantities of the ionic species are quantitatively transferred through a microporous filter membrane. The membrane has a pore size related to cell efficiency.
