  • Patent number: 10080059
    Abstract: A video broadcast system comprising a web page having a web page address and being in communication with a host system to permit users and a content providers to access the host system. The host system is programmed to permit the content provider to register at least one channel and associate the channel with the content provider, selectively upload to the host system a video file and associate the video file with the channel, and associate a link source address with the channel, wherein the link source address is different from the web page address. The host system is further programmed to permit the content provider to determine which of the channels registered with the host system are accessible by the user accessing the host system from the link source address.

  • Patent number: 7451568
    Abstract: A subsurface pest detection and pesticide injection system in combination with a structure having a foundation including a tubular conduit disposed adjacent the foundation of the structure. The tubular conduit has a plurality of pores extending through the sidewall of the tubular conduit. The tubular conduit is constructed of an elastomeric material such that upon applying a negative internal pressure to the tubular conduit the pores of the tubular conduit are caused to open to permit the drawing of gas into the tubular conduit, and upon removal of the negative internal pressure the pores are caused to close so that the pores remain substantially clog free. A means for applying a negative internal pressure is in gas communication with the tubular conduit to cause the pores of the tubular conduit to open and cause gas to be drawn into the tubular conduit.

  • Publication number: 20050144833
    Abstract: A method for delivering a pesticide adjacent a foundation of a structure is provided. The method includes injecting the pesticide into a tubular conduit positioned proximate to the foundation of the structure. The pesticide is injected into the tubular conduit at a rate such that the internal pressure of the tubular conduit remains below a threshold pressure of the tubular conduit until the tubular conduit is substantially filled with the pesticide thereby preventing the pesticide from being discharged through pores of the tubular conduit as the tubular conduit is being filled with the pesticide.

  • Patent number: 6782655
    Abstract: A subsurface pesticide injection system for use in combination with a structure having a footing formed in a base soil, a stem wall formed on the footing and defining a perimeter of the structure, a fill material disposed on the base soil within the perimeter of the stem wall, and a concrete slab formed on the fill material is provided. The concrete slab has openings extending therethrough. The subsurface pesticide injection and fluid extraction system comprising includes a tubular conduit disposed adjacent the foundation of the structure. The tubular conduit has a sidewall and a plurality of tortuous pores extending through the sidewall of the tubular conduit.
