Abstract: A brush retrofit for mounting behind a snow plow blade of a snow removal vehicle is disclosed. The brush retrofit includes a base frame, a stationary brush assembly, a retrofit mount, a brush elevation actuator, and a retrofit mount. The stationary brush assembly is movably mounted to the base frame. The retrofit mount is configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade. The brush elevation actuator when activated, moves the stationary brush assembly relative to the base frame between a raised storage position and a lowered in-use position. The retrofit mount is configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade.

Abstract: A system for alerting a driver of the presence of wildlife on the road ahead. The system logically deciphers between animal heat and the heat of an oncoming vehicle by way of a combination of infrared (IR) and photo sensors and an AND/NOT logic. At night—when wildlife is not easily visible—the infrared sensor can detect the presence of wildlife and alert the driver both visually and audibly, and if an oncoming vehicle is present with its lights turned on, the alarm is ignored. If wildlife is present and no lighted vehicle is present, then the visual and audible alarm sounds.

Abstract: A roof cooling system having quick-erect properties comprising: a high-flow manifold, a plurality of flex hoses, fascia brackets, and sprinkler wands. Fascia brackets are securedly and permanently attached to a building's fascia board. Each of the many sprinkler wands and flex hoses are all assembled to a high-flow manifold, ready for quick connection to a pressurized water supply. Therefore, when needed, the wands are simply engaged to the fascia brackets, the manifold connected to a water source and the system is operational, in mere minutes. When not in use, the system quickly disassembles for storage without hindering the building's aesthetics.

Abstract: A containment pond comprising: an impermeable membrane having a bottom, and continuous sides forming an open-top container. Each side is adapted with a loop of same impermeable membrane so as to form a sleeve longitudinal to all sides. Each side sleeve is adapted with primary and secondary forming members slidably engaged within each said sleeve. The two primary forming members facing each other have a length equal to its mating sleeve, and the two secondary forming members perpendicular to the primary members are each in two sections, divided at the center of their length. When the secondary forming members are pulled apart slightly from each other, the containment pond can be collapsed into a much smaller package by gathering the secondary center portion toward each other. Conversely, said pond can be erected in mere seconds by reversing the above.

Abstract: A canning jar strainer incorporating both food hold-down means, straining means, and strainer removal means. The present invention comprises: a planar disk-shaped semi-resilient sheet material having a plurality of small incisions located circumferentially around the disk, crescent cutouts and integral pull tabs. Said tabs, when folded toward each other, form a handle, which serve to pull out the strainer and provides distance maintenance between a jar lid and the disk. Therefore, inserting the disk of the present invention into the neck of a conventional canning jar provide means of holding food goods below the liquid line thus preventing oxygenation of said food goods, while also serving as a strainer, which can be easily removed.
