  • Publication number: 20150373935
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a grow board may include an outer member that may be engaged with an inner member such that a grow media may be positioned therebetween, secured, and/or tightened by the engagement between the inner and outer members. The outer member may have one or more slots formed therein to allow a plant to grow from the grow media through the slots, wherein the root of the plant may be positioned adjacent the inner member. The inner member may be configured with risers along the periphery and interior to provide a sufficient gap between stacked grow boards to allow for improved penetration of light and air into the seeded and stacked grow boards to aid in seed germination.

  • Patent number: 7201166
    Abstract: An injection system for the delivery of a gaseous substance to a patient respiratory system is described herein. The injection system includes a control unit and a valve assembly including a valve and a valve actuator allowing partial opening of the valve and controlled by the control unit. The control unit is supplied with gas flow data and controls the valve assembly so that the opening of the valve is a function to the gas flow to thereby enable the control over the concentration of the gaseous substance delivered to the patient.

  • Patent number: 6513437
    Abstract: A detonator device and assembly for the initiating a plurality of signal transmission lines with a pressure impulse. The detonator device comprising a detonator casing having a signal receiving end and a firing end. The firing end of the detonator device being substantially shaped to conform with the pressure impulse initiation therein. The firing end having a contact wall of substantially uniform thickness for contacting a plurality of signal transmission lines in a compatible connector element and transmitting a pressure impulse thereto.

  • Patent number: 5293821
    Abstract: A novel initiator (blasting cap) for explosives is provided. The initiator, which may be electric or non-electric, comprises a principal tubular metal shell containing a base charge, a delay charge, a priming charge and an ignition means, wherein the base charge and priming charge are housed within a reduced diameter tubular metal shell, which reduced diameter shell is located within but separated from the principal shell by a void space. The construction results in a markedly improved resistance against shock initiation.

  • Patent number: 4821646
    Abstract: A novel initiator (blasting cap) for explosives is provided. The initiator, which may be electric or non-electric, comprises a tubular metal shell having within a base charge, a delay train, a priming charge and an ignition means. Interposed between the delay train and the priming charge is an annular collar or ring of resilient material in contact with the inner wall of the metal shell. The construction results in a markedly improved resistance against shock initiation.
