  • Patent number: 12275127
    Abstract: A pipe fitting stand includes a table and at least one pipe support provided at an upper side of the table and configured to support a pipe on the table. A plurality of legs of the pipe fitting stand are coupled to the table and movable between a deployed position and a stowed position. In the stowed position, the plurality of legs are positioned side-by-side with each other and the table and are substantially parallel to each other and to the table.

  • Patent number: 11845177
    Abstract: A pipe fitting stand for supporting a pipe during a work operation includes a table, and a plurality of legs coupled to the table and movable between a deployed position and a stowed position. The pipe fitting stand additionally includes a locking mechanism movable between a first position in which the locking mechanism engages at least one of the plurality of legs, and a second position in which the locking mechanism disengages the at least one of the plurality of legs. The locking mechanism is configured to secure the table in the stowed position in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20230398585
    Abstract: A closet auger includes a casing member extending along an axis and a drive member telescopically received in the casing member and moveable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the casing member along the axis. The drive member includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first end having an expanded portion that expands away from a remainder of the drive member. The expanded portion configured to contact the casing member and limit the axial movement of the drive member. The closet auger also includes a flexible cable removably connectable to the drive member.

  • Publication number: 20220043180
    Abstract: The system and method for generating a forecast or simulation in a hydrologic environment includes the comparison of real-world observations with archived model states to generate or obtain initial conditions for the generation of the forecast or simulation. By using archived model states to generate forecast initial conditions, a more realistic simulation may be generated. The output of the simulation may then be stored as new model states with the other archived model states to maintain an updated archive of model states.

  • Publication number: 20210333434
    Abstract: A method and system for integrated surface water and groundwater modelling using a dynamic mesh evolution. The system includes a dynamic mesh evolution that enables elevation changes in a landscape to be better represented in a simulation model. By moving, adding or removing computation nodes within the model over a predetermined range and updating the metadata, elevation changes may be better represented.
