20090288432 | TANDEM COMPRESSORS WITH PULSE WIDTH MODULATION SUCTION VALVE - A refrigerant system is provided with tandem compressors. A tandem compressor arrangement includes at least two compressors operating in parallel and having at least one common manifold. A control may operate the compressors either simultaneously, or in some predetermined sequence to provide control over refrigerant system capacity. At least one of the tandem compressors is provided with a pulse width modulation control on a suction line. In this manner, the amount of refrigerant, compressed by the compressor, can be precisely controlled to exactly meet thermal load demands in the conditioned space. | 11-26-2009 |

20080295235 | Spit Cup - A spit cup includes a cap housing defining an interior area. The spit cup further includes a plurality of disposable liners, at least one disposable liner being removably positioned in the interior area to receive a user's spit. A lid is selectively coupled to the cup housing. The lid includes a stationary portion and a flap that is pivotally coupled to the stationary portion and movable between an open position providing access to the interior area and a closed position preventing access thereto. The lid includes a spring for biasing the flap toward the open position. The lid further includes a catch operatively coupled to the stationary portion and being movable between a first configuration in which the catch interacts with the flap and maintains the flap at the closed position and a second configuration in which the catch allows the flap to move to the open position. | 12-04-2008 |

20100170271 | REFRIGERANT SYSTEM - The present disclosure provides a method of operation of a refrigerant system, which comprises a main refrigerant circuit, a reheat circuit, and a flow control device, which has a first position isolating said reheat circuit from said main refrigerant circuit, and a second position placing said reheat circuit in fluid communication with said main refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant system further comprises a controller in electrical communication with said flow control device. The controller is configured to move the flow control device to the first position during a cooling mode, and to move the flow control device to the second position during a reheating mode or an oil recovery mode. The refrigerant system controller can execute an oil recovery mode in continuous or intermittent manner. | 07-08-2010 |

20100139298 | MOTOR-COMPRESSOR DRIVE APPARATUS - Multiple compressors are connected to a common shaft of a drive motor. Provision may be made for selectively disengaging one or more of the compressors from its drive connection. The multiple compressors an preferably attached to opposite ends of a common motor shaft extending from both ends of the motor. Multiple compressors may be arranged to operate in parallel flow relationship or in series flow relationship in a single refrigerant circuit. The compressors may also be installed on separate refrigerant circuits. In a series flow relationship, a vapor or liquid injection function may be provided. Both compressors may be of an open-drive design, or one of the compressors nay share a common housing with the motor. | 06-10-2010 |

20130000763 | Sequenced Ball Valve Coupling - Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a body that defines a bore that extends through the body. A ball valve assembly is engaged to the body. The ball valve assembly includes a ball valve disposed in the bore the body and an actuator that extends through the body. The ball valve defines a passage through the ball valve. The actuator is engaged to the ball valve and includes a plurality of teeth. A sleeve is disposed about the body. The sleeve is configured for at least partial rotation about the body. The sleeve includes a gear protrusion that has a plurality of teeth. The plurality of teeth engages the plurality of teeth of the actuator during rotation of the sleeve to actuate the ball valve between an open position and a closed position. | 01-03-2013 |
