Abstract: This catalyst system simultaneously removes ammonia and enhances net NOx conversion by placing an NH3—SCR catalyst formulation downstream of a lean NOx trap. By doing so, the NH3—SCR catalyst adsorbs the ammonia from the upstream lean NOx trap generated during the rich pulses. The stored ammonia then reacts with the NOx emitted from the upstream lean NOx trap—enhancing the net NOx conversion rate significantly, while depleting the stored ammonia. By combining the lean NOx trap with the NH3—SCR catalyst, the system allows for the reduction or elimination of NH3 and NOx slip, reduction in NOx spikes and thus an improved net NOx conversion during lean and rich operation.

Abstract: A metered dosage inhaler device having a first member for receiving and dispensing inhalation medication which is hollow, and has an aerosol medication container insertion end and having a nozzle end for spraying medication into a mouth of a user, wherein the nozzle end has a defined length and has an orifice with a defined cross-sectional area outlet surfaces, inner surfaces and a defined outer perimeter at its termination. There is a second member, the second member which is a spacer fitted on the nozzle and adapted to move outwardly and inwardly relatively to the nozzle, the spacer being hollow and being located about either outer surfaces or within the inner surfaces of the nozzle, the spacer having a total length about equal to or less than the nozzle so as to preserve significant compactness when the spacer is moved inwardly relative to the nozzle. The spacer includes a plurality of movable segments such as telescopic ring segments.

Abstract: A squeegee with squeegee handle and remote spraying device, includes a squeegee section having an enclosed container for holding liquid, a sprayer head, which is in connection with the squeegee section, and a surface extending in a lengthwise direction. The enclosed container has a threaded neck. The sprayer head has a threaded cap adapted for engaging the threaded neck, as well as a dispensing means for dispensing the liquid. The dispensing means includes a trigger being in connection with a conduit, a nozzle at an end of the sprayer head, and pressure inducing means for inducing a pressure change in the conduit so as to draw spraying agent into the conduit and out of the nozzle. The conduit extends through the threaded cap and into the enclosed container. There is also a squeegee blade attached to the sprayer head and being nearly perpendicular to the surface of said enclosed container.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a metered dosage inhaler device having a main housing member for receiving and dispensing inhalation medication that is hollow, and has an aerosol medication container insertion end and a nozzle portion, wherein the nozzle has a defined length and has an orifice with a defined cross-sectional area outlet surfaces and inner surfaces. There is a spacer member, fitted on the nozzle and adapted to move outwardly and inwardly relatively to the nozzle, the spacer being hollow and being located about either outer surfaces or within the inner surfaces of the nozzle, the spacer having a total length about equal to or less than the nozzle when on the outside, or at least half of its length within the device when on the inside, so as to preserve significant compactness. The spacer member includes a plurality of movable segments such as telescopic rings, bellows segments or popoid segments.

Abstract: The present invention is a automatically tightening pedal strap, which has a front member sized and shaped for placing a user's front of a foot in a shoe into the device. The front member has a top portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion includes a strap tightening driver moving mechanism for moving connecting device forwardly wherein the strap tightening driver moving mechanism moves in response to insertion of one's foot in a shoe into the device. There is also connecting device connecting the strap tightening driver moving mechanism and a strap member in which, when the strap tightening driver moving mechanism is moved forward within the front member, the strap member automatically tightens by movement of the connecting device on the strap member in response to the forward movement of the strap tightening driver moving mechanism. The strap tightening driver moving mechanism may be a slider or an end string attachment.

Abstract: An extended squeegee and fluid delivery system for cleaning in places that are of high elevation. A squeegee is used in connection with an extended handle. The spray system has a pump that delivers a cleaning agent through a conduit in connection with the squeegee. There is a trigger in connection with the spray bottle and near the end of the handle where the user is holding the handle. The user may then deliver cleaning agent out the nozzle by squeezing on a trigger or pull cord in connection with the handle. The handle of the squeegee may be made hollow in order to deliver the cleaning agent from the source of the agent to the nozzle in connection with the squeegee.
