Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080307964Pollution Control in Wood Products Dryer - Contaminant laden gas streams from wood product dryer operations, and other sources, are purified. The gas stream first is saturated with moisture by contacting the gas stream with fine liquid droplets which entrain particulates. The gas stream then is subjected to a plurality of separate particulate and liquid droplet removal steps before a droplet-free gas stream having substantially reduced particulate contaminant levels is passed to a burner for removal of volatile organic compounds from the gas stream.12-18-2008
20090107338Mast electrode design - A mast electrode assembly for a wet electrostatic precipitator comprising a first and a second electrode section connected together via a connector assembly The connector assembly comprises an axial protrusion extending from an end of the first electrode section which is inserted into an axial bore formed in an end of the second electrode section04-30-2009
20090123352Pollution control in wood products dryer operation - Problems associated with deposition of contaminants from air streams in transport ducts in the wood products industry and other sources of such contaminants are at least minimized by close coupling a cyclone separator/scrubber to the source of the air stream.05-14-2009
20100236413CARBON NANOTUBE COMPOSITE MATERIAL-BASED COMPONENET FOR WET ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR - The present invention relates to the use of corrosion, temperature and spark resistant electrically conductive components in wet electrostatic precipitator systems (WESPs). In particular, the present invention is directed to using a conductive composite material in the fabrication of wet electrostatic precipitator system components.09-23-2010

20100133132CLEANING SUPPLIES CADDY - A cleaning supplies caddy for holding a number of cleaning supplies. The caddy includes a base for supporting the cleaning supplies and a cover adapted to fit on the base having one or more cover walls at least partially defining a cover cavity therein in which the cleaning supplies are receivable. The base includes one or more base securing elements, and the cover has one or more cover securing elements, for cooperating with the base securing element(s) to secure the base and the cover together.06-03-2010
20100230313PORTABLE TOOL CASE AND WORKSTATION - The invention is directed at a portable tool case and workstation comprising storage means for housing tools; and at least one workstation attachment, stored with the tool case; wherein the at least one workstation attachment cooperates with the tool case to provide a portable workstation to a user.09-16-2010
20100247341IRRIGATION AID - A irrigation aid for a water harvesting device comprising: a housing; at least one inlet incorporated into one side of the housing; an outlet incorporated into the housing and adapted to attach to at least one irrigation line; and a transfer mechanism adapted to transfer water from the at least one inlet through the housing to the outlet. The transfer mechanism may include a plurality of fins to direct the water received from a rainwater tank through the inlet and transfer mechanism to the outlet and irrigation lines. The irrigation aid may further include a level measuring device and may further include either pressured water line water or solar cells to drive the transfer mechanism.09-30-2010

20100038300Water Harvesting Device - The device disclosed is an improved water harvesting device providing the capability of diverting debris away from a water entry area and reducing potential for clogging of the water entry area. The water harvesting device comprises a tank portion for containment of water and a water entry portion for receiving water, particularly rainwater from a building water collection system such as an eaves and downspout configuration. Debris typically accompanying rainwater as it exits from the downspout of the building collection system is diverted away from the water entry area allowing for better water collection efficiency, preventing backing of water and reducing operator maintenance of the device.02-18-2010
