  • Patent number: 11980840
    Abstract: A system for enhancing adsorption of contaminated vapors to increase treatment capacity of a regenerable, synthetic adsorptive media. The system includes an inlet configured to receive a flow of contaminated vapors. One or more vessels are coupled to the inlet, the one or more vessels each including a regenerable, synthetic adsorptive media therein, are configured to remove contaminants from the vapors by adsorption. A vapor cooling subsystem is coupled to the inlet, and configured to cool the flow of contaminated vapors, thereby increasing the treatment capacity of the regenerable synthetic adsorptive media.

  • Patent number: 4850150
    Abstract: A drill bit sharpener in combination with a hand held electric power drill having a chuck, an electric motor and a drive shaft powering the chuck. The sharpener includes an abrasive wheel supported within the hand held housing of the electric power drill for rotation about a central axis. The abrasive wheel has a cupped concave angled grinding face disposed facing the hand held housing. The housing has a single passageway parallel to and off set from the central axis. An aperture is disposed within the housing normal to and communicating with the single passageway. A first stationary pin is engaged within the aperture extending outwardly into the single passageway for engaging a first flute on a drill bit inserted through the single passageway. A second reciprocal pin extends outwardly into the single passageway, opposing the first pin, for engaging a second flute of the drill bit to secure the drill bit against rotation.

  • Patent number: 4726584
    Abstract: A luring scent releasing arrow includes a hollow tubular metal shaft having a pad of absorbent material located within the shaft adjacent a group of openings through the wall of the shaft. A sleeve is mounted on the shaft for sliding movement forwardly of the shaft from a position in which the sleeve covers and seals all of the openings to a position where all of the openings are uncovered. This movement is induced by the impact of the arrow upon a targeted location. The absorbent pad is saturated with a scented liquid by unthreading a detachable blunted arrow head from the forward end of the shaft and pouring the liquid into the shaft.
