  • Patent number: 8764527
    Abstract: At least one aspect of the invention is directed to a ventilation device. The ventilation device includes a frame configured to be mounted to a barrier, and a plurality of air moving devices configured to be coupled to the frame and configured to draw air from a first side of the barrier to a second side of the barrier. The ventilation unit further includes a control device coupled to the plurality of air moving devices and configured to detect an out of tolerance condition of one of the plurality of air moving devices and control another one of the plurality of air moving devices to increase airflow though the another one of the plurality of air moving devices in response to the out of tolerance condition.

  • Patent number: 8403736
    Abstract: An enclosure is provided for housing electronic equipment that accommodates the different cooling and ventilating requirements of different types of equipment. The enclosure is constructed and arranged to support cooling airflow in a front-to-back configuration through the enclosure and in a side-to-side configuration from one side to an opposite side of the enclosure. The enclosure can thereby provide within a single enclosure means cooling air for components using front-to-back airflow for cooling, such as information technology (IT) equipment, and for components using side-to-side airflow, such as certain types of telecommunications equipment. The enclosure can thereby support a mix of IT and telecommunications equipment, providing flexibility and adaptability in network room and data center configuration. The enclosure is further configured to separate intake air used by equipment for cooling from exhaust air vented by equipment into its interior during operation.

  • Patent number: 5110013
    Abstract: A container and method for changing liquid cleaning compounds into a dispensing apparatus employs a blow molded plastic container that includes a filling inlet and a discharge outlet. The discharge outlet is a fitting adapted to snap onto a quick connect coupling and includes a tube that extends to the bottom of the container. The tube is inserted into the container while it is still hot. As the container cools, it shrinks forming a tight seal around the tube. The coupling snaps onto the outlet and sealingly engages it. The opposite end of the coupling is attached to the dispenser which acts to evacuate the cleaning compound from the container. Upon depletion of the cleaning compound within the container, the coupling is separated from the container. Since the coupling includes a one-way valve, cleaning compound within the tube is not released. This provides a closed system for dispensing cleaning compounds deterring misuse.

  • Patent number: 4544365
    Abstract: A puppet constructed from a hamburger container having a hinged lid.Finger-receiving means are provided as holes in the container or as cylindrical portions to be attached to it. Face portions may be drawn or constructed and attached to the container. A string may be attached to the lower portion, passed out through the upper portion and attached to a wall by means of tape to hang the puppet. An attachment may be attached to the container as a puppet body. Movable arms on the body may be made to move by means of string running from the arms to the lid. The attachments may be provided as cutout portions on a placemat.
