  • Patent number: 8807156
    Abstract: A gas vent valve has a valve body having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall having a generally constant inner diameter from the first end to a normal operating liquid level. A spacer is positioned within the valve body and has an aperture formed therethrough. A control float is positioned within the valve body and has an outer diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter of the valve body and larger than the inner diameter of the spacer. A top float is positioned within the valve body, above the control float, and has an outer diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter of the spacer. A side port can extend from the sidewall and be positioned below the spacer and generally adjacent the top float with the valve in the open condition.

  • Patent number: 7665251
    Abstract: Steel frames formed of rolled steel I-beams are connected by steel framed wall panels spanned by steel studs, and covered by steel framed roof panels spanned by steel purlins, making a structural frame completely formed of steel components bolted together. All components are precut and predrilled before transport to a construction site. A crane is used to raise steel frames and steel framed roof panels into position for bolted assembly, reducing construction times to absolute minimums. Entire structure is virtually lightning-proof, wind-proof, and earthquake resistant.

  • Patent number: 7611117
    Abstract: The laptop computer document holder is an unobtrusive plastic sheath with two plastic telescopic arms for moving in and out of the sheath. One of the telescopic arms has a top with a document clipper for clipping the document to the top when the telescopic arms are extended. This clipper secures the document at eye level above a screen or monitor of the laptop computer. The plastic sheath has a flat face with adhesive tape affixed for permanently attaching the plastic sheath to the laptop computer. Once the document holder is attached to the laptop computer, the holder cannot be misplaced or lost. Thus, the laptop computer holder is readily available and accessible when needed to hold a document at eye level above the laptop computer.

  • Patent number: 7389859
    Abstract: A golf car having a hydraulic fluid brake system. The hydraulic fluid brake system is implemented as a disk brake system which is responsive to hydraulic fluid pressure generated from a master cylinder. A brake pedal and associated linkage provides input to a master cylinder to generate a hydraulic fluid pressure to control a brake caliper assembly. The brake pedal has a range of travel, where a first portion of the range defines a service mode of operation and a second portion of the range defines a parking mode of operation. In the parking mode of operation, the brake pedal and linkage engages a detent to maintain application of the brake to provide a parking mode of operation. An accumulator in the brake system provides an input force to maintain hydraulic fluid pressure sufficient to retain a parking mode of operation.
