Publication number: 20240085028Abstract: A cooking appliance comprises an outer frame surface defining a cooktop and the cooktop defines an outlet port. An inner frame surface defines a heating cavity disposed below the cooktop and within the outer frame surface. The inner frame surface defines an inlet port and a chimney extends between a first end connected to the inlet port and a second end connected to the outlet port for directing steam from the heating cavity outside of the cooking appliance. A nozzle apparatus is connected around the outlet port and includes an inner wall defining at least one aperture. The at least one aperture is oriented at an acute angle relative to the cooktop. The nozzle apparatus includes at least one post for connection to the cooktop.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONInventors: Lisa E.

Patent number: 9290300Abstract: The invention includes a scalable, modular interlocking container with a multi-purpose use. Vertical and horizontal interconnectivity are achieved through interlocking mechanisms. An exemplary first use is for transporting and/or storing liquids or solids that can be poured. An exemplary second use is for a sturdy, low cost, easily assembled building block material of a standardized nature. Each modular unit slide-locks with other units to form strong wall and building structures that can be filled with natural earth, sand or other such materials, thereby forming a sturdy structure without the use of mortar, and can adapt to uneven base surfaces typically found in natural terrain.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Friendship Products LLCInventors: B.

Patent number: 8831412Abstract: A housing for transporting a generally cylindrical canister configured to store at least one of a pressurized gas and a pressurized liquid. The housing includes a first housing section and a second housing section that is movable with respect to the first housing section from a first operating condition to a second operating condition. A heat transfer element is coupled to at least one of the first and the second housing sections to define at least a portion of a boundary of a generally cylindrical volume. The canister is generally fixed from movement with respect to the first and the second housing sections when the second housing section is in the first operating condition, and the canister is movable with respect to the first and the second housing sections and configured to be removed from the generally cylindrical volume when the second housing section is in the second operating condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Modine Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Zachary T. Ouradnik, Timothy J. Carlson, Roy J. Ingold, Brian Merklein, Eric J. Boticki, Jeroen Valensa, Michael P. Devine, Gregg D. Olson

Publication number: 20030054430Abstract: Systems and method are provided for modeling substrate molecules so that the various pathway reaction rates, and thus their overall reaction rates and metabolic properties, can be predicted. The current invention provides various systems and methods for stoichiometrically measuring the pathway reaction rates, both directly and indirectly. By repeating this for a class or several classes of substrate molecules, a general model of pathway reaction rates can be developed by correlating observed pathway reaction rates to the actual structural descriptors of the molecules, in particular, features around the reactive sites. The model can then be used to predict and design substrates according to desired metabolic characteristics. The systems and methods are particularly applicable to metabolism of substrate molecules by the cytochrome P450 enzymes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2001Publication date: March 20, 2003Applicant: Camitro CorporationInventors: Kenneth R.

Patent number: 5348651Abstract: Device to simulate operation and placement of a reverse osmosis membrane element in a Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU). The device simulates the drop in hydrostatic pressure occurring when a liquid (usually water) is forced across a membrane which separates different concentrations of solutes in the same solvent system. When substituted into a typical ROWPU for an actual reverse osmosis (RO) element, the drop in hydrostatic pressure is effected by an aperture or series of apertures which allow passage of liquid directly from the intake liquid piping to the purified effluent piping. The hydrostatic pressure of the waste effluent is similar to the pressure present in the waste effluent when an actual RO element is operating in a ROWPU.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1993Date of Patent: September 20, 1994Assignee: Aqua-Chem, Inc.Inventors: Timothy J.
