  • Patent number: 10746353
    Abstract: A remotely controlled material delivery system having at least one canister, for containing a material; a nozzle; a manifold to direct movement of the material from the canister to the nozzle; a valve mechanism to control the flow of material; a signal receiver; a power source; a mounting adapter; and a remote controller operable to generate a signal wherein the signal is transmitted from the remote controller to the signal receiver, wherein the receiver can open and close the valve in response to the remotely generated signal and wherein the signal can be transmitted through a wired connection, an optical connection, or wirelessly from the remote controller to the signal receiver.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10689591
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an additive for a multi-use oil-based flame-resistant organic fluid for safely releasing corroded joints and fasteners and other general use purposes. The oil-based organic fluid includes a flame-resistant additive such as a carboxylated aromatic compound, which has a self-extinguishing effect on an arc of flame. The inclusion of carboxylated aromatic compounds release carbon dioxide when heated, causing the material to extinguish itself during ignition to resist catching on fire.
