Abstract: A mobile stage configured for reconfiguration between trailered and deployed configurations featuring a hydraulic ram with a lifting carriage for lifting towers and tower mast caps into place to raise a stage roof above a stage floor. Additional features include slide-out speaker wings which provide additional structural stability when stored within the stage structure, spanner beams that are folded flat inside the roof when the trailer is in the enclosed traveling position, and which can span the entire roof, meaning there are no areas of the roof where lights or equipment cannot be hung. It also creates a 1?×1? grid system to be used for both the hanging of equipment and the easy calculation of the load on each section of the roof.

Abstract: A mobile entertainment stage which when deployed has a stage floor size of approximately twenty feet by sixteen feet, a gross trailer weight of seven-thousand pounds, an overall trailered height of six feet, eight inches, and a standard bumper hitch coupler allowing for a broader range of vehicles for towing. The stage front can be on either side of the stage. The trailered length of the invention is twenty-six feet but includes a break away or fold away hitch to decrease the overall length to approximately twenty-three feet.

Abstract: A ceramic-backed elbow featuring an extended chamber which alters the flow of fluent through the elbow section. This chamber is lined with a ceramic material and ceramic tiles. The remainder of the elbow is similarly coated with a ceramic mixture. The elbow could be placed into a coating pan upon the tiles being adhered to the elbow, and the entire elbow may be coated with an abrasive-resistant coating. A thin metal skin may then be applied over the entire surface of the coating.

Abstract: A food wrapper filling system for use with edible or non-edible food wrappers. The system includes a funnel device portion and a stand portion. The stand portion is placed over the food wrapper item and the funnel device is inserted into a receiver within the stand. Food ingredients are placed into the funnel device through a throat and opening through the funnel device, and the ingredients are stacked neatly without spillage or mess within the food wrapper. Sizing plates or funnel inserts can be used to limit the amount of space within the funnel device that ingredients may be added into for use with smaller sized food wrappers.

Abstract: A deployable mobile stage system including a remote mobile computing device which acts as a controller. The mobile computing device can be any basic personal computing device such as a smart phone, tablet computer, laptop, or proprietary control unit. The mobile computing device interfaces wirelessly with a receiver unit located on the mobile stage. The receiver unit relays commands to a hydraulic system which then commands various valves to open and/or close, thereby transforming the mobile stage from a first, deployed position to a second, transport position or back.

Abstract: A deployable mobile stage system with an automatic leveling system. A remote controlling device interfaces with an internal controller of the mobile stage for transforming the stage from a transport position to a deployed position. Multiple level sensors provide feedback to the controller of the stage to automatically level the stage using jacks and outriggers hydraulically or mechanically controlled by the controller. The level sensors could be 3-axis sensors which provide level data to the CPU of the internal controller, which then forms determinations as to which jacks to raise or lower, when, and at what rate.

Abstract: A pipe reinforcement system for reinforcing a pipe connection, pipe section, or length of pipe. The invention is most applicable to pipe sections used in commercial, industrial, or manufacturing processes conveying abrasive materials. The pipe reinforcement system uses several interlocking tiles placed over the pipe section to produce a smooth inner surface. The edges of the tiles overlap each other, producing a leak-resistant skin. A cover which maintains air pressure within the pipe is placed over the tiles, keeping them in place and holding them against the pipe.

Abstract: A pipe section, such as a pipe elbow, coated with a ceramic coating containing a fusible link displaced within. The link includes two exposed testing leads which are connected to a sensor which sends a signal across the link. Over time, the pipe section and the coating are worn away by material flowing through the pipe. Eventually the fusible link is severed due to the wear, signaling the sensor to send an alert, notifying that the pipe section needs to be replaced. The method of manufacture includes coating a standard pipe section with a ceramic coating, displacing a fusible link therein, and curing the coating. The coating may contain any number of fusible links in any conceivable arrangement.

Abstract: A mobile stage which transforms between a first, transport position and a second, deployed position. A number of modular wall panels which act as a barrier between the interior and the exterior of the stage. This barrier is weather resistant by use of weather stripping in between the panels and additionally serves to protect from unauthorized access to any contents stored inside the stage itself when in transportation mode. The wall panels may be selectively remoted and replaced by stairways and other stage components. The upper wall panels are temporarily engaged by a roof of the mobile stage.

Abstract: A pipe coating system and method of manufacture. Pipe sections, such as elbows, tees, wyes, or any suitable pipe section may be placed into a coating pan and covered with an abrasive-resistant material. The material hardens, and extends the life of the pipe section, which typically becomes worn when abrasive material flows through the pipe section. A thin sheet of metal would be placed around the entirety of the coating. This metal sheet allows for patching of the coating when a hole is worn completely through the pipe wall, the coating, and the metal sheet.

Abstract: A ceramic-backed elbow featuring an extended chamber which alters the flow of fluent through the elbow section. This chamber is lined with a ceramic material and ceramic tiles to increase the durability and wear-resistance of the elbow. The remainder of the elbow is similarly coated with a ceramic mixture for similar wear-resistance. The elbow could be placed into a coating pan upon the tiles being adhered to the elbow, and the entire elbow may be coated with an abrasive-resistant coating. A thin metal skin may then be applied over the entire surface of the coating.

Abstract: A transportable, transformable structure utilizing a tower shuttle apparatus for converting the structure from a closed, transportable unit to an open, stationary unit. The tower shuttle includes a connection post, including a socket joint, connected to a shuttle cart on casters. The socket joint is capable of receiving a ball connection at the base of a structural tower affixed to the transformable structure. This connection allows a single operator to fully assemble a mobile performance stage or other transportable, transformable structure with ease and with no damage to the stage deck. The tower shuttle allows the towers to be moved into position no matter the required direction.
