20080264357CONTROL OF DETONATIVE CLEANING APPARATUS - An apparatus is provided for cleaning one or more surfaces within a vessel having a vessel wall separating a vessel exterior from a vessel interior and having a wall aperture. The apparatus has at least one elongate conduit having an upstream first end and a downstream second end and positioned to direct a shockwave from the second end into the vessel interior. A source of fuel and oxidizer is coupled to the conduit to deliver the fuel and oxidizer to the conduit An initiator is positioned to initiate a reaction of the fuel and oxidizer to produce the shockwave. At least one sensor coupled to the conduit to detect motion indicative of a detonation. A control system coupled to the initiator, the source, and the sensor for receiving input from the sensor and controlling operation of the initiator and source responsive to said input.10-30-2008
20080271685Detonative cleaning apparatus - An apparatus is provided for cleaning a surface within a vessel. A vessel wall separates a vessel exterior from a vessel interior and has a wall aperture. The apparatus comprises an elongate conduit having an upstream first end and a downstream second end. The conduit is positioned to direct a shock wave from the second end into the vessel interior. A source of fuel and oxidizer is coupled to the conduit to deliver the fuel and oxidizer to the conduit. An initiator is positioned to initiate a combustion of the fuel and oxidizer. The conduit comprises a first portion and a second portion downstream of the first portion. The second portion is extensible and contractible relative to the first portion to selectively position the second end at a desired location within the vessel. The conduit downstream end comprises a centerbody positioned to direct the shock wave essentially axisymmetrically.11-06-2008
20090277479Detonative Cleaning Apparatus - An apparatus for cleaning a surface within a vessel has a combustion conduit extending from an upstream end to a downstream end. The downstream end is associated with an aperture in the wall of the vessel and is positioned to direct a shockwave toward the surface. A source of fuel and oxidizer is coupled to the conduit to deliver the fuel and oxidizer to the conduit. An initiator is coupled to the conduit in position to initiate combustion of the fuel and oxidizer to form the shockwave. A buffer chamber is between the conduit and the source.11-12-2009

20090056561Combination Breading Tongs And Dipping Tool - A kitchen utensil includes a handle having a dipping utensil at one end and a gripping surface at a second end thereof. The dipping utensil includes a frame member defining an opening. A tong member is engaged to the handle and is rotatable with respect to the handle between open and closed positions. The tong includes an actuation lever at one end and a gripping surface on a second end, whereby the gripping surfaces of the handle and tong may cooperate to hold an item placed therebetween.03-05-2009
