Patent number: 9403197Abstract: A system for breaking down medical waste for safe disposal includes a novel disposal solution for dissolving and dispersing the medical waste, as well as a hardening agent that solidifies the disposal solution to prevent it from contaminating the environment after disposal. The novel disposal solution includes a dispersion agent that dissolves the medical waste in addition to a neutralizer, which binds to the dissolved medical waste to render it inert. The disposal solution can optionally include defoaming, preservation and/or anti-freeze agents. The system may also include a vessel with a vented cap for storing the disposal solution prior to and during use. The vessel may also be used to discard the disposal solution and broken-down medical waste after the disposal solution solidifies.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Inventors: Milton Dallas, Russ Robers, Edward Hermann

Publication number: 20150231673Abstract: A system for safely neutralizing medication and venting gases produced by the neutralization process includes a container holding a quantity of disposal formula, sealed with a bottle liner, a closure with a pressure relief aperture, and an amount of hardener that may be added to the disposal formula. In some embodiments, a breathable, liquid-impermeable liner within the closure prevents liquids and solids from leaking through the pressure relief aperture. Other embodiments utilize a variable pressure relief valve within the closure to prevent leakage.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2014Publication date: August 20, 2015Inventors: Milton Dallas, Russ Robers

Patent number: 8800317Abstract: The present invention is a geometrically optimized beverage cooler, which positions fluid-filled containers (bottles, cans, vials, syringes, etc.) in an angled, upright, and evenly spaced position for serving and display. The device uniformly distributes ice and cold water around each bottle to maximize the effective cooling capacity of a given quantity of ice, thus reducing the amount of ice needed and the weight of the device during transport. Various embodiments of the apparatus include an ergonomically and structurally reinforced handle and an insulating lid having complementary contours.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2010Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Inventors: Milton Dallas, Russell Robers

Patent number: 8519883Abstract: A motion detector system includes the ability to detect motion through the use of a Doppler radar sensor or a combination of PIR sensors and a Doppler radar sensor. The system includes an outdoor light fixture having one or more lamps and a housing coupled to the outdoor light fixture. The housing includes a Doppler radar sensor and a microprocessor for analyzing the signals received by the Doppler radar sensor. Alternatively, the housing includes a combination of PIR sensors and a Doppler radar sensor and a microprocessor for analyzing the signals received from these sensors. The lamps in the light fixture are activated when either the PIR sensor or the Doppler radar sensor generates a signal indicating motion within the monitored area. Alternatively, the lamps can be activated when either the PIR sensor or the Doppler radar sensor senses predetermined number of motion activities over a limited time period.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2012Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Cooper Technologies CompanyInventors: George Michael Drake, Ryan Crist, Tyler Fleig, Milton Dallas, Scott Kroeger, Norm Siegel, Charlie Ketelhohn

Patent number: 7721643Abstract: An apparatus, method, and system of popping popcorn. In one aspect of the invention, an apparatus comprises a popcorn popper, a popped popcorn hopper and a dispensing mechanism in communication with the hopper. By actuation, the dispensing mechanism dispenses one or more servings from the hopper. In another aspect of the invention, the apparatus further comprises a dosing mechanism to provide sequential doses of unpopped corn to the popper to make a plurality of batches of popped popcorn. In another aspect of the invention, a sensor sensing when popped popcorn in the hopper exceeds a pre-determined level or amount and instigates a signal to actuate the dosing mechanism to fill the hopper. In a system according to the invention, a self-contained cabinet includes the popper, hopper, dispensing mechanism and dosing mechanism, as well as a control circuit and actuators to operate the dosing mechanism and dispensing mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Paragon International, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Berger, Duane Bulanek, Bruce Nemec, Jason Rohr, Tad Upah, Ryan Crist, Milton Dallas, Rizaldy Mata
