20110319202FOOTBALL TRAINING DEVICE SYSTEM - A football training device and system is presented that simulates game-time conditions wherein players of the opposite team attempt to strip the ball carrier of the ball. The football training device has a football with at least one cord attached to each end of the football. The cord is connected to a housing which is attached to the player's body by a strap. As the player carries the football a remote control device is used to activate the housing to retract the cord which acts to strip the football from the players hands.12-29-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110232362DETECTION OF EXHAUST FILTER EFFECTIVENESS - A method and kit for determining the effectiveness of an exhaust filter. The method may involve exposing an indicator to an exhaust stream of a engine downstream of the exhaust filter, visually comparing the indicator against test samples, and assigning a level of exhaust filter effectiveness based on the comparison. The method may also involve restricting the exhaust stream, diverting a test stream of exhaust from the exhaust stream, and exposing the indicator to the test stream. The kit may include a collector having a housing defining a flow passage configured to transmit a test stream of exhaust from a engine and a restrictor having a orifice plate configured to restrict an exhaust stream from which the test stream is diverted.09-29-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100206002REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT - A refrigeration circuit having a system charge and a system charge storage area. The system charge area has a condenser having a set of micro-channel heat exchanger coils. The condenser is appropriately sized to receive a first volume of the system charge. There is a compressor for compressing the system charge from an expanded state to a compressed state. There is a sealed refrigerant charge holding area fluidly connected to the condenser and the compressor. The sealed refrigerant charge holding area is appropriately sized for storing a second volume of the system charge during a system pumpdown. A receiver is fluidly connected to the sealed refrigerant charge holding area. The receiver is appropriately sized to receive a third volume of the system charge during a system pumpdown.08-19-2010
