| 20120006917 | Water jet sweeper - A water stream ground sweeping assembly includes a generally S-shaped tubular wand provided with an outlet nozzle at one end and connected at the other en across a control valve to a flexible water conveying hose with the length and the convolutions of the wand being selected to align the control valve with the suspended palm of an erect person. The arcs of the S-convolutions are further selected so that the nozzle raised above ground by a proximately located support post is pointing generally horizontally when the valve is grasped by the suspended palm. When, however, the palm of the person is raised the resulting increased weight of the unsupported hose increment unloads the post contact to create the perception of an impending loss of control in the palm, thus limiting the incidents of ground eroding nozzle alignments. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20100088077 | ACCURATE METHODS FOR MODELING THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS FOR LAND SCAPES - Accurate methods to model the precipitation rate, water delivery spatial distribution, and distribution uniformity for irrigation systems for landscapes are described. A relatively small set of test data is fitted to empirical and physics-based formulas. This permits the extrapolation of test data for an irrigation system with sprinklers being used with any arbitrary specification of operational and environmental variables. The environmental variables are the pressure at the sprinkler head, sprinkler model and nozzle choice, range of arc operation, throw adjustment, head tilt, run time, and spatial position. The environmental variables are the wind profile and three-dimensional terrain topology. The; invention predicts the surface distributions and the three dimension spatial distributions. Projected onto a landscape surface, this predicts the surface distributions for any arbitrary landscape topology, and includes the effect of wind upon the distribution, and thus provides a very general and realistic irrigation design tool. | 04-08-2010 |
