  • Publication number: 20200155409
    Abstract: The invention is directed at an intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) system that is modular in nature and allows mobility for subjects utilizing the system. In an aspect, the IPC system utilizes a mobile IPC device. The mobile IPC devices is an easy to use portable device that can be mounted onto a limb of a subject. The modular mobile IPC device includes an independent power source, allowing subjects to be mobile while the IPC device is operating. In an aspect, the mobile IPC device also ensures compliance of following the prescribed treatment.

  • Patent number: 6082613
    Abstract: An interplant bulk shipment container (10) includes a liner bag (112) of a size for form fitting inside of a tote (12) formed of planar material panels (14, 16, 18, 20) of a rigidity and compressive strength allowing stacking thereof. The liner bag (112) is formed from flexible, plastic liner material. The bottom of the liner bag (112) is formed by securement of the front and back gussets (118a, 118b, 120a, 120b) to the front and back sheets (114, 116), respectively, along gusset line securements (130a, 130b, 132a, 132b) extending at an acute angle to the interconnections of the front and back sheets (114, 116) to the side sheets (118, 120) and which interconnect with a bottom line securement (128) securing the front and back sheets (114, 116) together and extending generally perpendicular to the interconnections of the front and back sheets (114, 116) to the side sheets (118, 120). The free upper end of the liner bag (112) is free of interconnection between the sheets (114, 116, 118, 120).

  • Patent number: 4553698
    Abstract: A pneumatic pesticide duster for use in the application of pesticide dusts in structures. The apparatus comprises a dust reservoir, compressed air source, manually operated control valve and metallic discharge tube having an opening ranging in size up to about 3/4 inch capable of imparting an electrostatic charge to the expelled air/dust mixture such that dust is attracted to the walls of the structure and to insects therein. The apparatus is easily handled by one person while the amount of pesticide dispensed within the structure and the areas to which the pesticide is confined can be closely controlled.
