| 20100122846 | Boring green-hydro, cryo vertical drilling - A vertical water jet cutter method of boring holes in the ground and other solid substrate managing the difficulties of removing the center stone by freezing it until brittle, and cracking it from the base yet to be cut or fragmenting it and removing the material. This process is repeated until the desired or prescribed depth of the boring is reached. Means to handle unexpected dissembly of equipment in the boring is handled with tie-lines to each component placed to dangle the part in an orientation that will allow removal of the part without disturbing the walls of the boring. Means to handle invading ground water includes cryogenically freezing the region of the boring from where the water is flowing, melting the ice in the center of the boring, applying mortar to displace the melted ice and settle in the crevasses of the rock, curing it, and then water jet cutting the boring through the mortar and on into the rock below. With a deep area of ground water penetration, this process must be repeated. This type of water jet cutter boring has many applications from water well drilling, insitu fuel extraction, assaying minerals and more. Comparing this method with the standard drill methods, the equipment is low-profile, cost effective, and no waste. Water and grit are recycled, powdered stone, fragments, and whole center stones can be sold for use elsewhere. This method will not ruin the landscaping or forest floor beauty long term. The energy expended is directed at the cutting zone in the boring. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20110256950 | Custom Cork Ring Grips - A method of making a grip for a handle includes forming a substantially cylindrical body portion from a material at least partially comprised of cork and forming an elongate cavity through the substantially cylindrical body portion. The method also includes separating the substantially cylindrical body portion into a plurality of ring segments each having an inner surface area, first side surface area, second side surface area, and an outer surface area, applying an adhesive to the inner surface area, first side surface area, and second side surface area and applying the ring segments to a handle, such that each of the plurality of ring segments securely adheres to the handle and to an adjacent ring segment. The method further includes pressing each of the plurality of ring segments onto the handle to form the grip and customizing the geometrical configuration of the grip to conform to the preference of a user. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20110244115 | Extrusion Application System - A machine and a method of applying a non-Newtonian liquid composition onto a surface in a controlled manner. The composition is held in a chamber at a controlled variable pressure and is dispensed through a slit die nozzle as controlled by a valve. Characteristics of the composition are empirically developed and provided to a logic control circuit to assure that the composition is dispensed on either the entire surface or in one or more precise locations. | 10-06-2011 |

| 20090265237 | Advertising Light Fixture and Method for Distribution of Same - Disclosed is a system, method, and program for promoting the replacement of lower energy efficiency equipment with higher energy efficiency equipment, and more particularly less energy efficient lighting systems with more highly energy efficient lighting systems, is disclosed. High energy efficiency lighting fixtures are fitted with preferably removable and replaceable translucent acrylic diffuser overlays that are printed with advertising content from a third party advertiser. A program administrator arranges for such advertising content from one or more third party advertisers, and uses the advertising revenue generated from such third party advertiser to offset the costs incurred by an end user that is purchasing the high energy efficiency equipment that bears the third party advertiser's advertising content. By reducing the end user's up front expense, they are more inclined to undertake a retrofit program to replace their old, antiquated, and less energy efficient equipment with new, updated, and more energy efficient equipment. | 10-22-2009 |
