Abstract: A nozzle for use in dispensing a fluid, such as water or a foaming agent to extinguish a fire, comprises a longitudinal body that comprises a plurality of helical shaped cam paths. The cam paths allow the operator of the nozzle to adjust a flow setting for the nozzle by moving a flow adjustment mechanism that is operatively associated with the cam paths.

Abstract: A method and a corresponding system for obtaining information and approval to market to a certain person, include: storing in a database, by a platform server, at least an identifier; and sending an incentive to the certain person in response to receiving verification from a communication device of the certain person using the identifier and approval for receiving marketing from a merchant. The certain person can be the recipient of a gift or a card, or a customer receiving a self-bought package. The identifier can be a unique identifier such that the incentive can include a custom message or other personalization. The recipient of a gift or a card can send a “thank you” and/or a custom message to the respective gift giver or the card sender. The platform server does not share contact information between the giver and the recipient.

Abstract: An adjustable nozzle comprising a nozzle body with an inlet, an outlet and a flow chamber having a smooth bore extending between the inlet and the outlet. An elastic water impervious material is in fluid communication with the inlet and is tapered and is able to expand due to its elasticity. An adjustable non-rusting member connected to the nozzle body expands or constricts to either increase or decrease the inner diameter of the nozzle body to adjust the flow rate through the nozzle.

Abstract: A device and method are provided for regulating two types of flow from a nozzle. The first flow is a deluge stream and the second flow is a fog spray. The deluge stream is controlled by the nozzle operator using a first flow control valve, such as a ball valve. The fog spray is controlled by the nozzle operator using a second flow control valve. The nozzle permits the nozzle operator to manually control the flow of the nozzle, thereby permitting quick regulation and adjustment of flow types and amounts to accommodate then existing fluid pressure and supply conditions to address fluid application needs.

Abstract: A ball glove such as a baseball or softball glove is provided. The ball glove includes digit stalls extending outwardly from a palm portion of the ball glove. The digit stalls include linkages therein which are adapted to couple with the digits of the human hand. The linkages extend from the digits of the human hand to the ends of the digit stalls. The linkages are operative to provide the digits of a human hand with increased sensitivity to the impact of balls contacting the ends of the ball glove. The ball glove may further include high friction grip portions adjacent the palm side surfaces of the digit stalls for assisting in maintaining a grip on a ball. The ball glove may further include a heel bumper for deflecting a ball traveling outwardly of the glove toward the heel portion of the glove.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for pressing tortilla dough into a tortilla product in a continuous operation including: an extruder for compressing tortilla dough through a nozzle; a knife for slicing the extruded dough into a series of dough pucks; a conveyor press assembly which sandwiches the dough puck between a pair of belts to carry the puck between a pairs of platens to gradually press the puck into its final tortilla form; and a conveyor oven which sandwiches the tortilla between a pair of belts to carry the tortilla between pairs of heated platens to cook the tortilla. The system is particularly well suited to automation and, in one embodiment, includes measuring equipment which provides feedback to produce tortillas of consistent size, shape, and quality.

Abstract: An apparatus (100) for selectively discharging a stream of liquid has a body (102) adapted for connection to a source of liquid under pressure, a throttle valve assembly (120) for maintaining a constant output flow throughout changes in supply pressure, a smooth bore barrel (140) for providing a deluge stream, a fog tip (160) for providing an aspirated fog spray and a shut off valve (180). The fog spray pattern is variable from a straight stream parallel to the axis of the apparatus to a wide spray at an angle to the axis of the apparatus. The deluge stream and the fog spray are selectable separately or in combination.
