20110155979 | PRYING TOOLS - A prying tool suitable for staple removal includes an elongate shaft with prying member disposed at one or both ends, (each) having a flat section terminating in a serrated, distal edge, and forming an integral fulcrum between the shaft and the serrated edge. The distal edge consists of parallel, wedge-like teeth, separated by rounded notches, each tooth tapering along its length to a sharp point at the tip, which is rounded across its width. The taper may be achieved via a forward beveled surface on the top face of the tooth. The width of the tooth may also taper from the bottom to the top face, with the top edges rounded and/or beveled. The configuration allows a tooth to engage a staple, then gradually straighten and lift it by distributing upward force evenly thereto, reducing staple breakage, and the rounded notches prevent the staple legs from lodging in the tool. | 06-30-2011 |
20130263382 | PRYING TOOLS WITH GLIDE MEMBERS - A prying tool including an elongate shaft portion having a prying member disposed at one end, the prying member having a flat section terminating in a serrated, distal edge comprising a plurality of teeth arrayed in parallel and separated by a corresponding plurality of notches, a top face of the plurality of teeth defining a first glide surface, each first glide surface of the plurality of teeth being substantially coplanar about a glide plane, and a glide member projecting from the elongate shaft portion distal the prying member and defining a second glide surface distal the elongate shaft portion, the glide member projecting from the elongate shaft a distance sufficient for at least a portion of the second glide surface to intersect the glide plane, wherein the prying member forms an integral fulcrum between the shaft portion and the distal edge. | 10-10-2013 |

20090087531 | GRAIN HYDRATION AND FLAKING PROCESS, APPARATUS, AND PRODUCT - An apparatus and related method for preparing grain for animal ingestion. The apparatus comprises an elongate cooking vessel having a rounded interior bottom portion and a rotating mixing and impacting assembly which extends longitudinally in the vessel from the inlet end to the outlet end thereof. The mixing and impacting assembly comprises: a center shaft; a plurality of mixing blades which rotate with and extend substantially parallel to the center shaft; and a plurality of elongate paddles which also rotate with and extend substantially parallel to the center shaft. The mixing blades travel beneath the grain surface level for stirring the grain material. The paddles are closer to the center shaft than are the mixing blades such that the paddles impact and displace the grain surface level. | 04-02-2009 |

20090007502 | GROUND ANCHOR - A ground anchor for anchoring a structure positioned on the ground. The ground anchor comprises a base member, a movable anchoring member and a holding member. The base member is fitted in a hole within the ground and fixedly secured to the ground against removal thereof. The movable anchoring member is mounted to the base member and is movable between a non-anchoring position and an anchoring position. The holding member is mountable to the movable anchoring member when in the anchoring position and to the structure positioned on the ground. When the base member is fixedly secured to the ground, and the movable anchoring member is in the anchoring position with the holding member mounted thereto and to the structure, the ground anchor anchors the structure to the ground. A kit comprising a plurality of such ground anchors is also disclosed. | 01-08-2009 |

20150211968 | Displacement Sensor for Subsea Structures - Systems and methods are described for monitoring displacement on structural elements of subsea systems such as on components of a subsea pipeline network used to transport production fluid from a subsurface wellhead to surface facilities. The described techniques sense changes in displacement using a sensing blade, for example made of crystalline material such as sapphire, that is anchored to the structural element such that it is approximately perpendicular to the direction of sensed displacement. Displacement is sensed as bending of the sensing blade using one or more instruments fabricated on the blade. Robustness of design is in part provided by additional flexible non-sensing blades mounted in parallel to the sensing blade. | 07-30-2015 |
