Abstract: The invention discloses a portable luggage-sized kit and integrated hardware-software system for streamlined digital administration of production projects in the entertainment industry, said kit comprising a suite of electronic devices and a GUI-driven interface specially adapted for the unique demands of payroll, time and attendance monitoring, prop and wardrobe inventory, and administrative management of projects according to customizable settings for compliance with relevant guild, union, and project-specific rules. The kit includes handheld scanners, card and tag readers, badge and voucher printers, database architecture, web services, fillable forms and intelligent menu navigation that share data in real time across a network linking an expandable range of nodes in horizontal and vertical hierarchies of project roles.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus to provide for the safe and effective removal and neutralization of ammonia from a stream of waste oil or other liquid. The apparatus consists of a receiving tank, a treatment tank, circulation piping, associated controls, pumping and monitoring mechanisms. The primary utility for the invention is with commercial and industrial refrigeration units. The neutralizing solution in the treatment tank is circulated through the piping which includes a venturi that is used to induce a negative gauge pressure in the receiving tank by creating a suction that draws gases from the receiving tank. The negative pressure allows the receiving tank to pull the mixture of waste oil and entrained ammonia from the drain port of the refrigeration system even when the system is below atmospheric pressure. The venturi also removes ammonia gas from the receiving tank.

Abstract: A resiliently deformable insert member having a girth slightly greater than the cross section of the U-shaped channel of a rail member of an ornamental aluminum picket fence, the resiliently deformable insert member being cut to the distance between adjacent picket members and picket members and posts of the ornamental aluminum picket fence, and insertable into the U-shaped channel of the rail member of the ornamental aluminum picket fence so as to deny the U-shaped channel of the rail member of the ornamental aluminum picket fence and the post member of the ornamental aluminum picket fence as a habitat for nesting insects, such as flying, stinging insects, such as wasps.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus to provide for the safe and effective removal and neutralization of ammonia from a stream of waste oil or other liquid. The apparatus consists of a receiving tank, a treatment tank, transfer piping, associated controls, pumping and monitoring mechanisms. The primary utility for the invention is with commercial and industrial refrigeration units. The mixture of waste oil and entrained ammonia is removed from the drain port of the refrigeration system and placed into the receiving tank. The receiving tank includes aeration piping and nozzles and is in fluid communication with the treatment tank. The system provides for the introduction of an acid such as carbon dioxide as a neutralizing agent to be mixed with liberated ammonia as it is pumped into the treatment tank for recirculation.

Abstract: A removable case for covering a lug locking device to protect such locking device from adverse external conditions. The lug locking device includes a central body portion having a continuous side wall and a top wall and a bottom wall. The bottom wall is disposed in juxtaposition to a member which holds the lug. The removable case is provided for disposition over the body of such lug locking device. This removable case includes a top wall which snugly engages the top wall of the locking device and a continuous side wall which snugly engages the continuous side wall of the locking device. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the case may include a bottom wall which would extend over a portion of the bottom wall of the locking device. In one aspect of the present invention, the top wall of the cover is removable and in another aspect of the present invention, the top wall is integral with the continuous side wall.
