Publication number: 20020124813Abstract: A hand held sifting device is intended for use on any size cat litter box and includes generally parallel, spaced bars, through which litter may be sifted. The width of the sifting portion of the device is sized to fit the largest common cat pans and is easily modified to fit most any smaller size cat pan. Cleaning of smaller sized pans is simplified by sliding the sifter through the soiled litter to remove the solid and clumped waste. Cleaning larger pans is simplified by placing the sifter at one end and lifting the opposite end of the box, while sliding the sifter toward the raised end permitting gravity to sift the litter through the screen. Creation of airborne dust is minimized and hidden waste adhered to the pan beneath the litter is revealed and easily removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2002Publication date: September 12, 2002Inventor: Derek James Rose

Patent number: 6427729Abstract: A method and system of pressurizing natural gas, and/or other gaseous substances, indirectly, by pressurizing a liquid-filled chamber in which a flexible bladder has been inserted which holds the gas to be pressurized. This Indirect Pressurization Facility (IPF) will take small volumes of gas, at pressures less than the pressure inside a gas sales line, boost the pressure by pumping a liquid onto the outside of the bladder which collapses the bladder and re-positions the trapped gas into a smaller confinement which results in an increase in the pressure of the gas. When the increased pressure reaches a level above the sales line pressure, the gas will be squeezed out and into the sales line. The process is then repeated until the gas supply from the well declines to a point where it is no longer economically-justified to continue operations.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2001Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Inventor: James Rose Teel

Patent number: 5946209Abstract: A system for selectively providing power from a power source to a load to operate in an area for at least one occupant comprising a processing device for controlling the opening and closing of a relay connected between the load and the power source for energizing the load, and a sensor for detecting the presence of an occupant in the area. The processing device is programmable to close the relay in response to an output signal from the sensor for a period of time that can be of fixed duration, or a duration that is dynamically and automatically determined using sensor data relating to measure time between successive, detected occupant movements. In addition to a daylight inhibit function, the system is provided with color indicators and a tone generator to indicate various operating conditions and to guide a user entering selected system parameters, among other features.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1997Date of Patent: August 31, 1999Assignee: Hubbell IncorporatedInventors: David Philip Eckel, Thomas James Batko, Mark Richard Walter, William James Rose, Brian Patrick Donlon, David Abraham Zeichner

Patent number: 4104964Abstract: A packing fixture to facilitate the shaping and contouring of a slide pack containing an inflatable aircraft escape slide or combination escape slide/lift raft is disclosed. The packing fixture includes a base plate configured for receiving a partially formed slide pack with the slide pack being held in place on the base plate by brace bars that are hinged to the base plate and securably clamped against oppositely disposed side surfaces of the slide pack by jackscrews. A top pan, positionable over the slide pack, compresses the slide pack as straps that encompass the slide pack and top pan are tightened within strap tighteners that interconnect the straps and base plate. The contour of the slide pack end and side surfaces is selectively formed by a forming bar having a pressure pad that is forced against selected regions of the slide pack when one end of the forming bar is engaged with the base plate and the other end of the forming bar is forced inwardly toward the slide pack.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 1977Date of Patent: August 8, 1978Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Peter J.
