  • Publication number: 20200063916
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel method and system for dispensing CO2 vapor without over pressurization from a system having multiple containers. The system includes one or more liquid containers and one or more vapor containers. The system is designed to operate in a specific manner whereby a restricted amount of CO2 liquid is permitted into the vapor container through a restrictive pathway that is created and maintained by a shuttle valve during the filling operation so that equalization of container pressures is achieved, thereby allowing shuttle valve to reseat when filling has stopped. During use, a pressure differential device is designed to specifically isolate the vapor container from the liquid container so as to preferentially deplete liquid CO2 from the vapor container and avoid over pressurization of the system until the vapor container becomes liquid dry. The system can be operated so that at least 50% of the CO2 vapor product is dispensed from the vapor container.

    Abstract: LED related lighting methods and apparatus are described. Various features relate to water tight light fixtures. Some of the fixtures are flood lights. The light fixtures in at least some embodiments include power control features. In flood light embodiments beam angle and power or light output distribution can be controlled without opening the light assembly or compromising the water tight seals which also protect against dirt. The light fixtures also support tilt angle adjustments and light fixture head adjustments. Beam distribution pattern can also be changed in some embodiments as well as power control. Beam distribution pattern, power control and tilt angle adjustments are supported in some embodiments but need not be supported in all embodiments with some embodiments using one or more of the described features but not all features.

    Abstract: The present invention is a night light that plugs into an electrical outlet and has means that allow the night light body, without unplugging the night light, alternatively to conceal from view the entire electrical receptacle in a first orientation and to expose one of the electrical receptacle's outlets for use in a second orientation. The invention thus serves to conceal electrical receptacles in an aesthetically pleasing way while operating as a night light. It can be reoriented from that position, without removing it from the electrical outlet into which it is plugged, to expose for use by another electrical device the electrical outlet of the electrical receptacle not being used by the night light, while continuing to function as a night light.
