| 20090090520 | Fire Extinguishing Roof Soaker - The present invention is a spraying system that extinguishes flying embers that may land on a roof from brush fires or forest fires. This includes a submersible pump at the bottom of a well that is attached to a supply pipe that allows water to be pumped into a reservoir. Another submersible pump is inside the reservoir that pumps water thru a supply pipe that is attached to the roof. This area is called a water station that may also be equipped with a generator for a backup power source. The supply pipe has pipe couplings attached at certain intervals and has sprayers installed into the couplings. These sprayers will then give off an adequate amount of water to soak down the entire roof area in the event of an approaching fire. All of this is assembled and placed in specially designed roof fasteners that are installed throughout the entire hip and ridge of the roof. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20080222900 | Apparatus for Emergency Seatbelt Release - The present invention provides an apparatus to facilitate the easy removal or release of a seatbelt or similar safety harness device during an emergency. The apparatus of the invention provides a practical and easy means of releasing a seatbelt or similar safety harness that is jammed or difficult to remove during an auto accident or other emergency. The apparatus is comprised of an Emergency Seatbelt Release (ESR) box which is attached to the seatbelt, preferably at or near the tongue connector of the seatbelt such that the seatbelt passes through the ESR box. The ESR box contains a sharp edged cutting instrument attached to a trigger handle contained in a compartment within the ESR box. The compartment containing the trigger handle has a protective quick access cover so that it will not be inadvertently pulled or snagged in non-emergency situations. When the protective cover is removed, the trigger handle becomes accessible with the aid of compression springs which extend and eject the trigger handle. In an emergency, the trigger handle is pulled and the sharp edge cutting instrument is drawn along the seatbelt, cutting it completely in one forward motion. | 09-18-2008 |

A pattern is created in the mask layer, and the pattern is transferred from the mask layer to the dielectric layer by performing a plasma etching process. While transferring the pattern to the dielectric layer, the mask layer is substantially removed using the plasma etching process. The plasma etching process can use a process gas comprising a first gaseous component that etches the dielectric layer at a greater rate than the mask layer, and a second gaseous component that etches the dielectric layer at a lesser rate than the mask layer. | 09-30-2010 |
