Patent number: 10180691Abstract: A temperature control system for controlling the rate of flow of a flammable fluid at generally constant pressure is disclosed. The system may include a flow control apparatus that is free of a regulator mechanism, for affecting the flow of the fluid. The flow control apparatus may be operable between at least a first flow rate and a second flow rate, and may have at least one upstream opening and at least one downstream opening. The system may also include a first burner in fluid communication with the downstream opening of the flow control apparatus and a conduit in fluid communication at one end thereof with the upstream opening of the flow control apparatus, and configured at the other end thereof for connection to a fuel supply. A thermocouple may be located in the vicinity of the burner, for converting a sensed thermal state into an electrical signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2007Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: WOLFEDALE ENGINEERING LIMITEDInventors: Sydney Barkhouse, Stuart T. McKenzie

Patent number: 9668603Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to systems, methods, and devices for remote fuel level detection. A weighing instrument may couple to a propane tank for determining measurement values for a weight of the propane tank, wherein the propane tank is for coupling to a cooking apparatus to provide the fuel to the cooking apparatus. A computing device may receive, via a wireless communication link, measurement values for the weight of the propane tank; correlate the measurement values to data values stored in a database to determine an amount of fuel in the propane tank; and provide the amount of fuel in the propane tank to a user interface. A temperature instrument may determine a temperature of a region proximate to the propane tank to generate a safety factor for the propane tank. A temperature instrument may determine temperatures for regions proximate to the cooking apparatus. A temperature control may control the cooking apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2013Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: TITANFIRE, INC.Inventor: Sydney Barkhouse

Patent number: 9289096Abstract: A temperature control system for safely controlling the rate of flow of a flammable fluid at generally constant pressure is disclosed. The system may include a flow control apparatus that is free of a regulator mechanism, for affecting the flow of the fluid. The flow control apparatus may be operable between at least a first flow rate and a second flow rate, and may have at least one upstream opening and at least one downstream opening. The system may also include a first burner in fluid communication with the downstream opening of the flow control apparatus and a conduit in fluid communication at one end thereof with the upstream opening of the flow control apparatus, and configured at the other end thereof for connection to a fuel supply. A thermocouple may be located in the vicinity of the burner or an appliance used in conjunction with the burner. The thermocouple converts a sensed thermal state into an electrical signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2008Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: WOLFEDALE ENGINEERING LIMITEDInventors: Sydney Barkhouse, Stuart T.

Publication number: 20150291353Abstract: A kit is provided. The kit includes a garden waste storage support structure, a plurality of wheels, and a plurality of attachment members. The garden waste storage support structure includes a base, a plurality of side walls extending from the base, and a plurality of legs fixed to the base. The base comprises a plurality of integrally formed openings therein. The plurality of side walls each extend from the base. Each of the plurality of side walls comprise a plurality of integrally formed openings therein. The base and the side walls define a structure interior. The plurality of support legs are fixed to the base underneath the structure interior for at least partly elevating the base and the structure interior. The structure interior is sized to support a garden waste bag above the ground to provide for air circulation around an underside of the garden waste bag.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2014Publication date: October 15, 2015Inventors: William Henry COOPER, Ronald Rene JASINSKI, Sydney BARKHOUSE, Michael YIM, Chi Fai CHENG
