20100186410OIL RECOVERY FROM AN EVAPORATOR OF AN ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE (ORC) SYSTEM - A method and system for recovering oil is used in an organic rankine cycle (ORC) system to recover oil from an evaporator of the ORC system and return the oil to an oil sump. The ORC system includes an evaporator, a turbine, a condenser and a pump, and is configured to circulate a refrigerant through the ORC system. The oil recovery system includes a recovery line configured to remove a mixture of oil and refrigerant from the evaporator. The mixture of oil and refrigerant passes through a heat exchanger in order to vaporize liquid refrigerant in the mixture and produce a mixture of oil and vaporized refrigerant. A delivery line is configured to deliver the mixture of oil and vaporized refrigerant to the turbine, at which point the oil may be separated from the vaporized refrigerant and recycled back to the oil sump.07-29-2010

20080314682Ladder stabilizing brace - A ladder stabilizing brace is attachable to respective ladder stiles for laterally stabilizing the ladder from tipping. Each stabilizer includes a body channel affixable to one of the ladder stiles. A stabilizer base has a first end pivotally affixed to a bottom end of the body channel such that the stabilizer base pivots between a stowed position in vertical parallel registration with the body channel to a deployed position extending outwardly from said body channel. An adjustable center brace for locking the stabilizer base in its deployed position extends between an upper end of the body channel and a second end of the stabilizer base opposite from the first end.12-25-2008

20080301953CUTTING GUIDE SYSTEM AND METHOD - Guides for ring saws and ring saws incorporating them and template systems are provided. The guides can be circular, square, rectangular or portions thereof. The system can comprise a guide and a template. The template can be configured to be placed onto a workpiece in a fixed relation relative to the workpiece. The template has an edge along which a side edge of the guide can travel. The guide is attachable to a platen of the ring saw and can include an insertion channel and a blade aperture for allowing passage of a blade of the ring saw during attachment of the guide to the platen. The guide and the template can be sized and configured such that the side surface of the guide can contact the edge of the template for allowing the guide to be moved along a desired cut path to quickly and easily create a precise cut.12-11-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090106880SLEEP-AIDING DEVICE - A sleep-aiding device for restricting stretching of a wearer's legs to full extension to reduce leg muscle cramping during sleep includes an adjustable belt worn about a wearer's waist during sleep, with leg members extending between the belt at the wearer's waist and attachment at lower portions of the wearer's legs, generally below the wearer's knees, e.g. in a particular implementation by engagement of the wearer's feet through end loops positioned midway between the toes and ankle. The leg members have predetermined lengths between the belt and attachment at the lower portions of the wearer's legs that are adjustably selected to restrict stretching of the wearer's legs to full extension during sleep.04-30-2009

20110129586WHITE WHEAT VARIETIES, AND COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - This invention relates generally to certain improved white wheat varieties, and grain products comprising said improved white wheat varieties. In certain embodiments, wheat varieties are provided that exhibit advantageous traits of white coloration, high gluten strength, and/or reduced bitterness. In further embodiments, the invention is directed toward identity-preserved milled grain products such as wheat flour manufactured substantially only from certain white wheat varieties, identity-preserved grain intermediate products such as milled bran flours manufactured substantially only from certain white wheat varieties, and to methods of preparation of each. In certain embodiments, such milled identity-preserved grain products require less sugar, less gluten, and/or reduced refining and bleaching during their use, thereby decreasing the cost of food production and providing certain advantageous characteristics.06-02-2011
20110151091GLUTEN QUALITY WHEAT VARIETIES AND METHODS OF USE - This invention relates generally to wheat varieties comprising high gluten strength, content or quality; to identity-preserved grain products (e.g. flour) produced therefrom; and to baked goods prepared from said identity-preserved grain products.
