Publication number: 20220287291Abstract: The present subject matter relates to devices, systems, and methods for applying pesticides, herbicides, and other treatment chemicals to a surface. A roller application device for use in delivery of treatment chemicals to a landscape surface includes a handle assembly having a fluid connector configured to be connected to a treatment chemical source, and a roller applicator is connected to the handle assembly but configured to rotate about an axis. The handle assembly includes a fluid dispenser configured to deliver a treatment chemical from the treatment chemical source to the roller applicator, and the roller applicator is configured to absorb the treatment chemical in an outer surface of the roller applicator and transfer the treatment chemical to a surface upon contact with the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2022Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Matthew Edward Layne, Parker Michael Alperin, Charles William Beasley, Timothy S. Clements, Corbin Matthew Day, Tyler James Sheffield

Publication number: 20210113384Abstract: Devices, kits and methods described herein may be for wound healing, including the treatment, amelioration, or prevention of scars and/or keloids by applying and/or maintaining a pre-determined strain in an elastic skin treatment device that is then affixed to the skin surface using skin adhesives to transfer a generally planar force from the bandage to the skin surface. Applicators are used to apply and/or maintain the strains, and some of the applicators are further configured to provide at least some mechanical advantage to the user when exerting loads onto the skin treatment device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2019Publication date: April 22, 2021Applicant: Neodyne Biosciences, Inc.Inventors: John A. ZEPEDA, Jasper JACKSON, William BEASLEY, Darren DOUD, Brett FOLLMER

Publication number: 20080093124Abstract: Apparatus and methods for drilling with casing. In an embodiment, methods and apparatus for deflecting casing using a diverter apparatus are disclosed. In another embodiment, the apparatus comprises a motor operating system disposed in a motor system housing, a shaft operatively connected to the motor operating system, the shaft having a passageway, and a divert assembly disposed to direct fluid flow selectively to the motor operating system and the passageway in the shaft. In another aspect, methods and apparatus for directionally drilling a casing into the formation are disclosed. Methods and apparatus for measuring the trajectory of a wellbore while directionally drilling a casing into the formation are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Richard Giroux, Gregory Galloway, Tuong Le, Raymond Jackson, Gregory Nazzal, James Swarr, David Brunnert, William Beasley, Brent Lirette, Albert Odell, Jim Terry, Dave McKay, Samir Alkhatib, Mike Wardley

Publication number: 20070183126Abstract: Electronic circuit boards are arranged as respective parallel pairs defining a narrow gap there between. One or more such pairs of boards are supported within a hermitically sealable housing and cooled by way of spraying an atomized liquid coolant from a plurality of nozzles into each narrow gap. Transfer of heat from the circuit boards results in vaporization of at least some of the atomized liquid within the narrow gap. The housing further serves to guide a circulation of vapors out of each narrow gap, back toward the nozzles, and back into each narrow gap. A heat exchanger exhausts heat from the housing and overall system, wherein vapor is condensed back to liquid phase during contact and heat transfer therewith. Condensed liquid is collected and re-pressurized for delivery back to the nozzles such that a sustained cooling operation is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2006Publication date: August 9, 2007Inventors: Charles Tilton, Donald Tilton, William Beasley, Douglas Miller, Randall Palmer

Publication number: 20060279290Abstract: An electric-field meter provided with a housing, an electrode assembly, a shield assembly, a movement assembly, a position detection assembly, a charge measurement circuit, and a leakage current compensation circuit. The electric-field meter can be characterized as a field mill, an induction voltmeter, an electrostatic fluxmeter or an agrimeter. The electrode assembly is selectively exposed to the electric field. The shield assembly alternately covers and exposes the electrode assembly to the electric field. The movement assembly has a source of motive force and a linkage operably connected to one of the shield assembly and the electrode assembly for alternately covering and exposing the electrode assembly to the electric field. The charge measurement circuit receives charge on the electrode assembly. The charge measurement circuit provides a charge detection signal indicative of the charge induced on the electrode assembly as the electrode assembly is selectively exposed to the electric field.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2006Publication date: December 14, 2006Inventors: Jody Swenson, William Beasley, Leon Byerley, Ivan Bogoev
