  • Publication number: 20240092128
    Abstract: An articulating tire valve install-removal tool and related methods for use. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool has a body comprising an outer perimeter, an inner recess, a threaded member, a linkage, and a contact member. The articulating tire valve install-removal tool components are connected to each other and secured within the body so one or more components can rotate around one or more axes. Together these components facilitate in the valve being installed and removed perpendicular or generally perpendicular to the valve hole on the wheel. The articulating tire valve stem tool includes a linkage assembly that is attached to the body to facilitate in ensuring the valve is installed and removed with the valve perpendicular to the valve hole in the wheel rim.

  • Publication number: 20220274894
    Abstract: A method of producing compost from animal waste may include placing animal waste in a waste pit. The method may include removing liquid from a top layer of the waste pit. The waste pit may include a bottom layer disposed at a bottom of the waste pit and adjacent the top layer. The bottom layer may be composed primarily of solids. The top layer may be composed primarily of liquid. After removing the liquid from the top layer of the waste pit, the method may include agitating the waste pit to mix the top layer and the bottom layer and create sludge.
