  • Publication number: 20230021866
    Abstract: A system coupled to a pipeline includes a first portion and a second portion coupled to the first portion by an over-center latch and a secondary adjustment mechanism such that a diameter of the system can be adjusted independently by either the over-center latch or the secondary adjustment mechanism. The first portion may be coupled to the second portion by a ratchet mechanism. The system may include a service saddle or a tapping sleeve. The system may be coupled to a water main.

  • Patent number: 10849400
    Abstract: The invention relates to hair dryers. Various techniques for improving air flow in hair dryers are described, including a hair dryer providing laminar flow air. In another variant a hair dryer has a two air flow channels: one a hot air channel the other a cool air channel, with the cool air channel circumscribing the hot air channel. The nozzle end of the hair dryer is arranged such that the cool air channel extends forward of the hot air channel outlet. This allows a hair dryer to be placed close to, or on, a person's hair/head without and risk of burning the person's head. A hair dryer with external power supply is also described which reduces the weight of the housing held by a user.

  • Patent number: 9097010
    Abstract: A simple, one-piece mechanical tie allows quick and secure connection between rebar, mesh and form. A single piece of tie wire can secure the tie to the mesh and rebar, making the installation process much quicker than conventional processes. Unlike other devices that have multiple pieces where, if one piece is lost, the tie is unusable, the current device is designed as a single piece making installation and use quick and simple.

  • Patent number: 8973317
    Abstract: A relatively thin flat panel of thermal insulating material is provided with an array of holes or apertures, each coaxially aligned or coextensive with a reinforcement bar emanating from a concrete slab forming an interior floor within a structure consistent with the design of a structural engineer of record. Rebar couplers (nipples) are arranged within each of the holes or apertures of the insulating panel having axial lengths greater than the thickness of the panel to extend beyond the panel on both sides thereof. The couplers are threaded both internally and externally. Nuts or threaded washers are threaded and tightened on both sides of each coupler to secure the coupler in place in relation to the panel. Alternatively, fiberglass rebars can be used extending through the insulating panel.

  • Patent number: 8377678
    Abstract: A method to propagate, enumerate and quantify bacteriophage(s) in a water sample or other aqueous sample was designed which contains ingredients to stimulate the growth of select bacterial species which are susceptible to infection by specific bacteriophage(s), in which interfering background organisms are either inhibited or inconsequential. Important features of the medium include oxidation-reduction compounds producing colored and/or fluorescent products, chromogenic and/or fluorogenic enzyme substrates, and temperature-independent gelling agent(s). A preferred combination is the growth medium containing 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride, 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-B-D-galactoside, and appropriate gelling agents, which (when properly used) produces a dark red bacterial lawn containing teal blue-green, irregularly circular spots representing individual phage plaque, all discernible to the eye in visible light.

  • Publication number: 20120055738
    Abstract: A safety hanger system for attachment to horizontal members of stringers or other support members forming a subfloor include a plurality of safety hanger straps each of which is provided with closed loop ends. Rigid retaining members such as D-rings are linked through one of said loop ends at one end of each of the straps. Snap hooks are supported on the retaining members. The safety hangers are attachable in spaced relationship to the stringers with at least one snap-hook positioned to engage a safety net below the adjacent stringers to catch a worker that slips through a subfloor under which the net is placed, whereby workers have freedom of movement above the subfloor without the need to be tethered by lanyards to any given fixed point. A method is disclosed for attaching the safety hanger straps to the stringers and for securing safety net(s) to the snap hooks.
