| 20120006365 | MODULAR RECYCLER AND PARTS WASHER APPARATUS - A compact, modular and fully integrateable apparatus for recycling volatile cleaning solvents which can be utilized independently as a stand-alone recycler unit in conjunction with any typical parts washer apparatus (e.g., sink-on-a-drum or immersion type units) in common use. The core modular recycler component can also be fully integrated with a wash basin component and a docking base that is specifically designed to be docked to standard drums containing cleaning solvent, thereby providing a fully integrated recycler/parts washer apparatus that has a significantly reduced footprint. The core modular recycler component includes an outer housing surrounding a distillation chamber with heaters, a condenser and cooling fan, a vacuum/fluid pump, a clean distillate reservoir and a residue discharge port. Periodically, during continuous recycling operations, batches (e.g., 1 to 2 gallons) of contaminated cleaning solvent are transferred from the drum to the core recycler component to remove contaminants and produce clean solvent that is returned to the drum for further use in parts washing operations. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20110186133 | Apparatus and method for preventing ice formation on the surface of water - An air pump is employed to inject an adjustable flow of air into the column of water within an ice fishing hole to create air bubbles that naturally rise to the surface of the water as the result of air being lighter than water. The rising air bubbles create an upward flow or circulation of water within the hole, replacing colder water at the surface of the hole with warmer water from near the bottom of the hole to thereby prevent formation of ice on the surface of the column of water. The present apparatus and method may be similarly employed to maintain livestock water tanks and other contained volumes of water free of ice. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20080214100 | Communication service subscription management - Multiple receivers may be enabled to receive satellite-based digital audio radio (SDAR) services under a single subscription. For example, an SDAR service provider can enable multiple vehicles, a home-based digital radio, or a portable digital radio, singly or in any combination. Multiple receivers transmit information to each other. One receiver is designated as a primary receiver, and the other receivers are designated as secondary receivers. The SDAR service provider transmits a list of associated secondary receivers to the primary receiver. The primary receiver enables the associated secondary receivers to receive SDAR services by placing them in an authorized state. The secondary receivers must periodically communicate with the primary receiver to remain authorized. A secondary receiver that fails to communicate with the primary receiver within a prescribed time period is switched to an unauthorized state. In this unauthorized state, the secondary receiver no longer performs as an authorized receiver. | 09-04-2008 |
