  • Patent number: 11414234
    Abstract: A reusable shipping box system and methods are provided. The reusable shipping box system includes a shipping box including a rectangular sheet of material including a first planer surface and a second planer surface. The first planer surface can include a first herringbone pattern of half cut and full cut incisions and the second planer surface can include a second herringbone pattern which is different from the first herringbone pattern. The rectangular sheet of material can be capable of collapsing into an elongated shaped parcel by way of the first and second herringbone patterns of half cut and full cut incisions. A shipping sleeve can define a cross-sectional shape and sized to be capable of sliding over the collapsed shipping box and securely hold the shipping box in the collapsed shape.

  • Patent number: 9950334
    Abstract: An over spray gun assembly that prevents over spraying of atomized paint or vanish particles and droplets into the air and onto unwanted surfaces during a spraying operation, such as painting or staining a surface. More specifically, the over spray guard includes first shroud and a second shroud, wherein the second shroud is positioned within the first shroud thereby defining an open interior space for vacuuming unwanted or over sprayed airborne fluid droplets dispensed from a nozzle of the spray gun. In addition, an elongated sleeve or extension can be connected to the first shroud, thereby allowing a user to comfortably support, hold, position, and aim the over spray gun assembly.

  • Patent number: 8720364
    Abstract: A portable machine and process is described for covering all sides of an elongated object with a liquid without the use of brushes. The machine is particularly useful with manufactured building products such as a fence picket, trim, molding, or any other type of board. The machine generally has four stations, an entry station that drives the object down a track, a liquid application station where the object is covered by liquid that is poured over the object, a blower station where the fluid is spread evenly over the object and excess fluid is blown off, and an exit station that continues to pull the object down the track and directs the object as the object leaves the exit station. Finally, the object may enter a releasably attached drop track.

  • Publication number: 20050143234
    Abstract: A resistance training device including a conformable base and one or more resistance arms affixed to the conformable base. The conformable base is malleable such that it may conform to the contour of a user's body as the user gets into position and executes an exercise. The conformable base may support the weight of a user. A plurality of resistance training exercises are executable. One or more resistance arms may provide multiple levels of resistance for each resistance training exercise. Multiple levels of resistance may be achieved by employing multiple resistance arms of varying strengths.

  • Publication number: 20010026537
    Abstract: The present invention relates to satellite Internet backbone technology to support high-throughput with minimum latency. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for an intelligent routing and switching scheme designed to interoperate with international standards for satellite uplink and downlink equipment and various terrestrial Internet Protocol (“IP”) networks. In addition, a novel network management system is disclosed which permits remote management of the entire network from either a network node or via the Internet. Such management provides for complete management of bandwidth allocation as well as permitting Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) to enter into peering agreements.
