  • Patent number: 10066432
    Abstract: A door opening system includes a trailer that has a door and the door has a door handle. A tool is provided and the tool may be manipulated. The tool has a striking surface to strike an object when the tool is swung at the object. The tool has a gripper and the gripper engages the door handle thereby facilitating the door handle to be manipulated. The gripper has a functional width of at least thirty two mm. The tool has a first hook to engage a device thereby facilitating the device to be remotely manipulated. The tool has a tapered end to engage a ratchet thereby facilitating the tool to rotate the ratchet.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8173630
    Abstract: This invention provides redox-active molecules attached to polypodal (e.g., bipodal, tripodal, quadrapodal, pentapodal, etc.) tethers that can be used for attachment of the redox-active molecules to a substrate (e.g., an electrode). The tethered redox-active molecules are useful for the fabrication of memory devices.

  • Publication number: 20080236847
    Abstract: A waste water containment, filtration, and transportation system captures polluted waste water from various waste water sources including fire sprinkler systems and fire hydrants. The system includes a sight tube which connects to a female swivel connection on, for example, a Fire Department Connection (FDC). A flexible hose connects the sight tube to a mobile holding tank. The sight tube allows the observation of a waste water flow from the fire sprinkler system or fire hydrant to ensure that a complete flushing has been accomplished. A rod attached to an end of the sight tube holds a clapper in the FDC open during testing. The waste water is held in the mobile holding tank for later disposal. The containment and transportation system allows compliance with NFPA Standards, California State Fire Marshal's “Title 19 Regulations, the Federal Clean Water laws, the Federal Coastal Zone laws, as well as local city ordinances.

  • Publication number: 20070259366
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a diagnostic platform. The platform has a substrate having plurality of hydrophobic wells formed thereon. The hydrophobic wells are directly printed onto the substrate in a test pattern and are adapted to contain a biological sample for conducting a diagnostic assay to identify analytes within the biological sample. The test pattern is divided into equally sized quadrants, each containing an equal number of hydrophobic wells. The hydrophobic wells may be in a single or double well arrangement, as well as may be connected by at least one microfluidic channel.

  • Patent number: PP8864
    Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Black Beaut" plum tree in that it produces fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately simultaneously with the fruit of the "Beaut" plum tree, but from which it is distinguished by having a greater regularity of bearing, due to the production of pollen, and wherein the fruit has a more uniformly dark purple skin coloration, a more balanced flavor and a smaller pit without a tendency to fragment.
