Publication number: 20240189849Abstract: A method of switching a first fluid supplied to a dispenser with a second fluid. The method includes stopping the first fluid from flowing into a common portion of a flow system, causing a flush fluid to flow through the common portion, stopping the flush fluid from flowing into the common portion, removing the flush fluid from the common portion, causing the second fluid to flow through the common portion, and continuously circulating the first fluid to and from a reservoir without the first liquid entering the common portion of the flow system. The continuously circulating of the first fluid begins a) after stopping the fluid liquid from flowing into the common portion of the flow system and b) prior to or during the second fluid flowing through the common portion of the flow system.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2022Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Tyler Pearce Mann, Steven C.

Patent number: 9487130Abstract: The dual vehicular brake switch with flasher unit is a brake switch with a dual stage design. When a brake pedal is pressed normally, the brake lights turn on normally. However, when the brake is pressed hard, a second switch activates which puts the brake lights (or an alternate lighting system) into a flashing or strobe mode. The dual vehicular brake switch with flasher unit comprises a housing, an acceleration sensor, a brake switch, a flasher switch, and a plurality of electrical connections.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2015Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Inventor: Steven Pearce

Patent number: 8969536Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel nucleotide and amino acid sequences of Torque teno virus (“TTV”), including novel genotypes thereof, all of which are useful in the preparation of vaccines for treating and preventing diseases in swine and other animals. Vaccines provided according to the practice of the invention are effective against multiple swine TTV genotypes and isolates. Diagnostic and therapeutic polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are also a feature of the present invention, as are infectious clones useful in the propagation of the virus and in the preparation of vaccines. Particularly important aspects of the invention include vaccines that provide TTV ORF1 protein, or peptide fragments thereof, as antigen.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Zoetis LLCInventors: Gregory Paul Nitzel, Robert Gerard Ankenbauer, Jay Gregory Calvert, Donna Steuerwald Dunyak, Jacqueline Gayle Marx, Nancee Lois Olen, Douglas Steven Pearce, Mira Ivanova Stoeva, James Richard Thompson
