Abstract: A replacement duct sleeve assembly and method of use provides a duct sleeve with a pole adaptor hole on the side that can be attached to a new A/C/heater duct and “fished” into a narrow attic space to a register box, then left in place as the adaptor pole is unscrewed by the pole adaptor, and the pole adaptor is retrieved with a cord. Inside the house, a worker grabs a gripper bar that spans the interior of the duct to work the duct into place. Once in place, plastic zip ties which hold the gripper bar to two mounting braces are snipped, the gripper bar is removed, and the mounting braces are screwed to the sides of the register box, thereby permanently attaching the replacement duct to the register box. A plug is then used to seal the pole adaptor hole.

Abstract: A duct replacement device and method of use provides a duct sleeve flex connector, in three different versions, each with a flat, rigid metal bar with thin, metal bracing strips and a female-treaded pole hinge. After cutting loose the old duct from under the register box, an HVAC technician enters the attic and threads the device on a telescoping pole, depositing the device near the open register box. The technician then climbs a ladder under the register box, grabs and adjusts the device with the flat, rigid metal bar into position, then attaches it with the thin, metal bracing strips.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable water dispenser for dispensing cooling water to an overheated compressor of an ACU. The water dispenser includes a splash guard and a core that is installed inside the splash guard. The core includes a magnet that firmly but temporarily attaches the water dispenser to the outer surface with the compressor. Water flow is controlled to convert the flow exiting a water hose into a uniformly distributed curtain covering the entire outer surface of the compressor. The splash guard prevents water loss because it redirects any splashes towards the compressor.

Abstract: The present specification describes a telescopic thermometer that allows a user to measure surface or air temperature in hardly accessible places. The telescopic thermometer includes a telescopic body with a temperature sensor attached at remote end of the telescopic body and a magnet used to temporarily attach the thermometer to a place near the place of measurement for hands free operation. A display unit at user end displays the temperature readings received from the sensor. The temperature readings are transmitted to a networked device for storing and processing.

Abstract: An apparatus that forms a temporary seal to keep the sections of a drain pipe that are not clogged isolated from the regions that are clogged, is described. The temporary seal prevents high pressure applied in the drain pipe to dissipate over the unclogged sections, to maintain the pressure required to remove the clog. The apparatus includes a bladder attached to one end of a conduit. A dual valve connector is attached to the other end of the conduit. The dual valve connector allows connection of the apparatus to a source for gaseous pressure for inflation of the bladder and, retains the pressurized gas inside the bladder so that the seal is maintained during the removal of the clog.

Abstract: The invention concerns a carbon dioxide absorbent for use in anaesthesiology, in which the absorbent comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable hydroxide essentially free of sodium and/or potassium hydroxide and a carbon dioxide absorbingly effective amount of a compatible humectant. Calcium hydroxide is the preferred hydroxide. The humectant may be of inorganic or organic origin. The carbon dioxide absorbent of the invention may, additionally, include an effective amount of a setting agent, preferably calcium sulphate hemihydrate and/or a compatible agent for internal generation of hydrogen, preferably aluminium metal powder. The carbon dioxide absorbent of the invention is chemically inert to sevoflurane, as well as to the anaesthetics enflurane, isoflurane and desflurane.

Abstract: Apparatus for playing a children's game comprises a game board, game cards and a die. The game board includes respective start and finish points linked by a path formed of a chain of discrete spaces. The path includes representations of creatures and their names, portions of each representation and associated name being located in separate spaces. The game cards each carry a portion of a representation of a creature and a portion of its name corresponding to a space of the path. Players use the die to move along the path, attempting to form new or existing creatures or names with the cards in conjunction with the representations and names on the board in the spaces adjacent the space the players land upon.
