Patent number: 10821623Abstract: A wall hole punch device is provided. The punch device has a wall-engaging surface, a floor-engaging surface, and a punch. The punch has a punching end, which generally has an angled face for pushing the chad downwardly and away from the hole. The bottom of the punching end is high enough to clear typical base plates when the punching device is used as intended. The top of the punching end is low enough so that the hole can be covered by baseboards of conventional height. A method of punching holes in walls and a method of drying walls using the device are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2015Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Restoration Tools, LLCInventors: Charles W.

Publication number: 20200011778Abstract: Osmolality and osmolality sensors and methods utilizing electrochemical impedance to detect changes in impedance to varying salinity concentrations. By way of example, the impedance reported at the specified frequency varies logarithmically with the concentration of sodium chloride subject to the sensor surface. Measurements obtained by the sensors and methods herein are utilized, for example, to differentiate between the clinical stages of dry eye disease (290-316 mOsm/L) to complement the current diagnostic procedures. Blood serum, urinalysis, and saliva also may be tested and the corresponding osmolarity or osmolality level evaluated for indications of a disease or condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2018Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Mackenzie Honikel, Chi Lin, Andrew Penman, Brittney Cardinell, Jeffrey LaBelle, Pierce Youngbar, Marcus Smith

Publication number: 20180225713Abstract: A computer system locates objects and content by navigating an aerial or satellite image map of a geographic region. The system determines a search region corresponding to the geographic region by use of geospatial information associated with the geographic region. Once the search region is determined, the system searches a database for objects and content that are associated with the search region and that satisfy certain predetermined criteria and characteristics. Relevant ads are then shown to the user within an interactive mapping experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2017Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventors: David Eraker, Marcus Smith, Savan Kong, Josh Horton
