Abstract:
A device and apparatus is disclosed for coupling to a conduit, and a method to prevent a pressure within at least a portion of the conduit from increasing above a predetermined value. The device comprises a vent having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The vent is selectively actuable between a first closed configuration and a second vent configuration in which there is fluid communication between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet to thereby vent a fluid. The device also comprises a controller connectable to a hydraulic supply to control selective actuation of the vent. The controller comprises a first surface exposed to fluid from the hydraulic supply and a second surface exposed to fluid from the conduit. The first and second surfaces are arranged such that the vent is actuable into the second vent configuration when the pressure within the conduit increases above the predetermined value.
Abstract:
A cutting device in accordance with the present invention is deal for use in cutting pizza and other “flat-bread” like cuisine. For example, in accordance with various embodiments, a cutting device is provided which exhibits improved functionality and ease of use through the use of handle which directs the cutting force from a user in the most efficient manner to carryout the task of cutting, for example, pizza. Moreover, the handle may provide improved protection of the user from accidental injury during use as well as be suitably configured to retract in a manner which facilitates removal of the cutting blade.
Abstract:
A set of kitchen shears are spring-assisted to provide efficient cutting action and, at the same time, to allow disassembly into two or more components to facilitate cleaning of the unit. The kitchen shears include: a first shears segment including a first handle rigidly coupled to a first blade, and a second shears segment including a second handle rigidly coupled to a second blade, wherein at least one edge of at least one of the first and second blades includes a sharpened edge; the first and second shears segments being removeably coupled about a pivot point such that the shears have an open state and a closed state, wherein the closed state corresponds to a user applying compressive force to the first and second handles, and wherein the open state corresponds to the absence of a compressive force to the first and second handles; and a spring apparatus mechanically coupled to the first and second handles to position said shears in said open state.
Abstract:
A test probe apparatus having a housing and a probe pin is provided. The housing includes a first housing end portion having a round tapered wall defining a tapered cavity. The probe pin includes a pin base portion rigidly mounted to the housing and a pin tip portion movably mounted to the housing for movement between a first position and a second position. At the first position, the pin tip portion is disposed in a spaced-apart relationship with the pin base portion and protrudes into the tapered cavity. At the second position, the pin tip portion is moved toward the pin base portion relative to the first position.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Pisum sativum variety that contains a recessive gene called the bsg gene and produces peas that exhibit an elevated level of sucrose and a decreased level of alcohol insoluble solids when compared to peas produced from a Pisum sativum variety that does not contain the bsg gene within its genome.
Abstract:
This document presents a system and method for defining and controlling lights, audio systems, and any other home automation device by connection with an exterior network access port. The exterior network access is accomplished by pairing all network capable devices with a known intermediate network maintained by a master control unit. After association with the known intermediate network, the exterior network SSID and passkey are provided to the master control unit and then transmitted to each network capable device. The network capable devices connect to the exterior network by replacing the intermediate SSID and passkey information with the exterior network information.
