Abstract: A sprinkler head cover including an end wall and a side wall extending from and around the end wall to form a cavity therebetween. The cavity is sized for receiving a deflector and arms of a sprinkler head. The side wall is adapted for engaging the sprinkler head to thereby releasably mount the cover to the sprinkler head.

Abstract: A method and system for the creation and maintenance of one or more funds by first creating at least one fund by acquiring insured, non-transferable, FASB qualified commercial paper from at least one provider. The acquired paper is pooled into one or more funds and blocks are created for investment purposes. The blocks are then offered for investment to at least one investor such that each block remains below the statutory insurable limit. Using a computer, reports are generated under an algorithm that calculates all necessary information, including, without limitation, dates of maturity, principal amounts, early withdrawals, dividends, payouts and the like for each investor. The investors are paid, at times by liquidating before maturity. Such liquidity is heretofore unheard of in the industry.

Abstract: A sprinkler assembly includes a body, a support, which extends from the body, and a closure device that releasably closes the discharge opening of the body. The sprinkler assembly further includes a trigger that releasably holds the closure device at the discharge opening. The support is adapted to allow the fluid flowing from the discharge opening, when the closure device is released, to pass through the support substantially unimpeded by the support and, further, is adapted to reshape the flow of fluid as it flows through the support.

Abstract: A fast response residential sprinkler assembly includes a sprinkler body having a base and a frame extending from the base. The base has a passage extending therethrough defining an inlet and an outlet. A deflector is mounted to the frame and spaced from the outlet, which is configured to deflect fluid flowing from the outlet in a radial pattern. A trigger assembly extends between the frame and the base and is adapted to seal the outlet and release the seal when a temperature associated with a fire condition is detected. In addition, the sprinkler body is configured such that a ratio of the flow in gallons per minute from the outlet divided by the square root of the pressure in pounds per square inch gauge of the fluid supplied to the inlet is in a range of 4 to 6.
