Patent number: 10934227Abstract: A compost bin module for aerobic decomposition of organic matter. The module is in the form of a container comprising a free-standing portable structural frame for placement on or above the ground. It further comprises removable sidewalls, and an open top and open bottom. Each of said removable side walls insertable into the structural frame and laterally restrained thereby. The structural frame comprises at least three spaced-apart posts, at least an equal number of structural members spanning between and interconnecting the posts, each of the structural members spanning between two adjacent posts at or near their base.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2016Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: NEW ZEALAND BOX LIMITEDInventors: Anthony Bruce Wallis, Richard Wallis, Grant Stevens

Publication number: 20070294872Abstract: A toot for servicing pneumatic brake systems and the like includes a primary structural member, and a pair of mounting members or plates. The tool can be readily secured in a vise or the like, and a pneumatic valve to be replaced can be secured to a first one of the mounting plates. A replacement pneumatic valve is secured to the other of the two mounting plates, preferably in the same orientation as the pneumatic valve being replaced. The air lines can be readily disconnected from the ports of the pneumatic valve being replaced, and reattached to the new pneumatic valve in a one-by-one manner. The tool rigidly secures the pneumatic valves to facilitate disconnection and attachments of the air lines by a technician using a wrench or the like, and the placement of the two pneumatic valves in a side-by-side configuration in the same orientation permits the air lines to be readily reattached to the correct ports of the new pneumatic valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2007Publication date: December 27, 2007Inventors: Richard Wallis, Robert O'Neil

Publication number: 20070184935Abstract: The “u-turn” signal would be a safety device that would be standard in all motorized vehicles as a normal safety feature such as windshield wipers, headlights, turning signals etc. It would be best to be incorporated as part of the turning signal apparatus but can also be just a button such as the emergency flashers are. Presently when a vehicle is making a u-turn they are only truly able to show that intention by a hand signal which is rarely done . This invention will prevent rear end accidents and also accidents between the vehicle making the u-turn and a vehicle which is entering the same roadway via a right turn on red.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2006Publication date: August 9, 2007Inventors: Richard Wallis, Maria Wallis

Patent number: 7068184Abstract: An electric power meter (102) includes a temperature sensor (114) and a controller (112). The controller (112) is operable, based on the temperature reported from the temperature sensor (114), to generate alarm(s) when the temperature exceeds certain alarm threshold(s) (307, 507, 508) and to activate a power disconnect switch (104), thereby shutting off power to a customer premises, when the temperature exceeds a shut off threshold (309, 509). The controller (112) is operable to activate the power disconnect switch (104) for non-payment of electricity cost, subject to secondary criteria based on regulatory requirements. A customer terminal (103) may be used to notify a customer of an alarm condition, to provide information regarding electrical power usage or to provide information regarding disconnection of electrical power.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2004Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: David Moon Yee, Philip John Zucarelli, Theodore Woolley Keller, David Richard Wallis

Patent number: 6771212Abstract: A method of recalibrating a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver includes applying a first control signal to an oscillator for generation of an oscillator signal having an initial frequency and determining if an indicator of correct oscillator output frequency is present at the initial frequency. If an indicator of correct oscillator output frequency is not present, then iterative steps are followed until an indicator of correct oscillator output frequency is found. The iterative steps include: applying a new adjusted control signal to the oscillator for generation of a new frequency; determining whether an indicator of correct oscillator frequency is present; and if an indicator of correct oscillator output frequency is present with the oscillator having the new frequency, storing said adjusted control signal. If an indicator of correct oscillator frequency is present with the oscillator output signal having said initial frequency, then storing said initial control signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2003Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: General Dynamcis CorporationInventors: David Moon Yee, Clinton Charles Hepner, Jeffrey Dean York, Mark Chester Stange, Howard George Varner, Jr., Dave Richard Wallis

Patent number: 5017200Abstract: A baghouse chamber divided into an inlet for receiving a gas stream containing particulates, an outlet for exiting said gas stream after filtering, a main chamber and an auxiliary chamber. At least one filter bag is housed within the main chamber for filtering said gas stream. The filter bag has an extension portion extending through a connection into the baghouse chamber. The connection prevents particulate from bypassing the outlet of the baghouse chamber and allows for pulling a replacement filter bag attached to the extension portion into the main chamber. A removal means is attached to the baghouse for transporting the at least one operable filter bag to the auxiliary chamber and for pulling the replacement filter bag into the main chamber.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1990Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: Inco LimitedInventors: Thomas L. Price, Richard A. Walli, Peter G. Phipps
