Publication number: 20230349208Abstract: A doorjamb safety system, device and method for utilization in holding open a door, and preferably an automatically closing door. The system can include a handle unit, a wedge unit slidably associated with handle unit, and a chock unit attachable with the handle unit and slidably associated with the edge unit. The chock unit includes a triangularly shaped chock and a shaft including multiple locking holes. The wedge unit includes a button that is engageable with the locking holes to lock the chock in a space apart relation with wedge sides of the wedge unit. The chock unit is rotatable allowing for insertion into a doorjamb, while the spacing between the chock and the wedge sides is adjustable to clamp a corner of a door frame and a door therebetween. The handle unit can include an electronic device such as a light.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: Aexion Inc.Inventor: Ronald William Hermann

Patent number: 8731970Abstract: A system and method develops a customized meal plan for a patient based on a chemotherapy treatment regimen for the patient and delivers the corresponding food items of the meal plan to the patient. The customized meal plan is designed to mitigate the physical effects and nutritional losses associated with chemotherapy and other cancer related treatments, such as radiation therapy. As the medical condition of the patient changes, the meal plan can be revised to provide updated customization. The meal plan may be developed using information provided by the patient, a caregiver, such as a nurse or physician, or a combination thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2013Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Therapease Cuisine, Inc.Inventors: James William Hermann, Vivian Marie Roe

Publication number: 20130342028Abstract: Systems and methods utilizing a capacitive charging power source for fluid treatment reactors are disclosed. In an example embodiment, a DC power source charges a capacitor circuit configured to store energy. A switching circuit with an input connected to the capacitor circuit has reversing polarity outputs which provide a pulsed discharge of energy at a frequency with an adjustable duty cycle. An inductive load may be connected to the reversing polarity outputs, and a fluid treatment reactor with at least two electrodes may be connected to the inductive load.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Inventors: Greg William Hermann, David Leslie Winburn

Patent number: 8413763Abstract: A rescue line apparatus is configured as a horizontal tether for being readily connected between a door and a portion of the door jamb or other entry location and extending a line as the user moves within the structure. The device allows the user to readily locate their way back for egressing the structure, and can be readily disengaged by the user, which activates a braking system that prevents unit “run-away”. A multi-attach anchor head couples the far end of the line to any desired structure, and has a beacon assembly which outputs a light pattern of sufficient brightness to be seen by the user when visually locating their attachment point within the structure. A multi-element visual indicator is configured for indicating line extension distance, and displaying tether line status. Many options promote safety and a fully cooperative environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Rescue Products, Inc.Inventors: Ronald William Hermann, Andrew Hudson, Caralin Adair

Publication number: 20080305371Abstract: A system and method for the production and use of hydrogen to obtain sufficient energy to negate or obtain a positive carbon unit balance. Waste is converted into a synthesis gas and heat energy using a plasma converter. The heat energy is transformed into electrical energy. The synthesis gas is split into hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Both the hydrogen and carbon monoxide may be used for the production of electricity. If desired some hydrogen may be used to fuel vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2008Publication date: December 11, 2008Inventors: William Hermann, Bass Blundell
