Abstract: A downhole tool for cleaning a wellbore includes a tool body having a passage therein. A liquid is to flow through the passage of the tool body and have an intermittent flow pattern. An inner sleeve positioned within the tool body includes a recess having a recess pattern. In response to the intermittent flow pattern of the flow of fluid, a shift pin positioned in the recess of the inner sleeve is to traverse through the recess pattern. The downhole tool includes at least one scraper blade. The scraper blade is movable between a retracted position and a radially expanded position. In response to the shift pin traversing the recess pattern of the recess, the scraper blade can be expanded radially outward toward a wall of the wellbore from the retracted position to the expanded position and/or retracted inward away from the wall of the wellbore from the expanded position to the retracted position.

The plug valve portion including a set of plugs that seal against a set of openings in the divider portion when the rotary valve is in a closed position. Movement of the rotary valve between open and closed positions is controlled by the movement of the float assembly in the container. The float assembly typically moves according to a liquid level within the container.

Abstract: A debris guard for installation on an eavestrough is disclosed. The debris guard including a frame with a back side, a front side, a length and two ends. The frame having a water collection portion between the front side and the back side that extends along the length of the frame, the water collection portion having a plurality of holes to allow rainwater to pass through. The frame having a connector engagement structure that extends outward from a surface of the water collection portion, the connector engagement structure being shaped and/or sized to attach with a connector for joining pieces or lengths of the frame together.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed at a hanger bracket for use within an eavestrough system. The hanger bracket provides support to the eavestrough by transferring any weight experienced by the eavestrough to the structure to which the eavestrough is mounted.

Abstract: Computer-aided design of water treatment systems assesses very large numbers of variables and conditions to facilitate water treatment system recommendations. In an embodiment, field engineers or sales representatives at virtually any level of experience can take water samples and gather site data on a customer's site and input the sample data and the site data to a computing system, which may be a standalone portable device or may be a portable device connected via a network or the cloud to a central computing system.

Abstract: A downspout diverter for diverting collected water, such as rainwater. The diverter either directs the collected water towards a storage tank, such as a rainwater harvesting storage tank to towards an outflow portion. When the collected water is directed towards the outflow portion, the water exits the diverter spilling the water to the ground.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are disclosed that determine property recommendations for a user. The methods, apparatus, and systems may also predict when a user is likely to become a property buyer and/or seller to determine when certain property recommendations are to be made. The methods, apparatus, and systems use one or more machine learning algorithms to determine a dynamic preference profile for a user that accurately reflects the user and how the user changes over time. The preference profile takes into account property-related information and user characteristic information as variables for the machine learning algorithm(s).

Abstract: A debris guard for installation on an eavestrough is disclosed. The debris guard includes a frame having a back side, a front side, a length, two ends, a top surface, a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a water collection portion extending from the front side to the back side and along the length of the frame between the two ends. The water collection portion includes a plurality of holes to allow rainwater to pass through. The water collection portion also includes a plurality of drip legs coupled to the plurality of holes, the plurality of drip legs extending below the bottom surface to provide improved water flow through the eavestrough debris guard. Each of the plurality of holes includes at least one drip leg that provide improved flow through the debris guard.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel inventive compound device structures, enabling charged-based logic gates. In particular, a switched p-channel and/or n-channel current field effect transistor, a solid state device based on a complimentary pair of a switched p-channel and n-channel current field effect transistors, and/or a solid state device based on a complimentary pair of a p-channel and n-channel current field effect transistors are used for constructing such logic gates. The switched current field effect transistor comprising a source and a drain, wherein the source and drain defines a channel, a diffusion that divides the channel into a source channel segment between the source and the diffusion and a drain channel segment between the drain and the diffusion, a source channel gate that is coupled to the source channel, and a drain channel gate that coupled to the drain channel. These novel device structures provide various improvements over the conventional devices.

Abstract: A processing system employs a processing tool to process workpieces, for example cold working holes and/or installing expandable members into holes. Sensors sense various aspects of the processing. Information regarding performance of the process and/or materials may be stored, for example a hole-by-hole or a workpiece-by-workpiece basis, allowing validation of processing. Information also allows dynamic operation of the processing tool. Analysis of response relationships (e.g., pressure or force versus position or distance) may provide insights into the process and materials, and/or facilitate the real-time feedback including control, alerts, ordering replacement for consumable components.
