Abstract: A disposal system utilizing a direct injection of water for an amount of time to sufficiently sanitize a chamber of the disposal system. The disposal system includes a chamber coupled to a drain of a sink at a first end of the chamber, and to a drainpipe at a second end of the chamber. A cutting mechanism, such as a rotary cutting blade, is positioned within the chamber near a floor of the chamber. A fluid-injection unit, such as a flange attachment, coupled to the first end of the chamber and the drain of the sink, includes a plurality of nozzles for introducing a fluid in a variety of streams in different directions to reach substantially an entirety of the chamber. The flange attachment can also include a water line attachment for connecting to a water line, with an optional ozone generator upstream from the disposal system.

Abstract: An in-tank fuel pump assembly and mounting system is disclosed which may be configured for mounting inside a fuel tank. The assembly includes a pump housing, pump mounted to the housing, and pressure relief valve. The housing may comprise upper and lower pump housing units coupled together. The upper housing unit is configured for mounting to a tank opening, which in one implementation may be the fuel fill opening. The lower housing unit extends into the tank to approximately the bottom of the tank. A fuel fill fluid pathway is created through the housing for adding fuel to the tank while the pump assembly remains in situ. The upper housing unit may include a removable fuel cap. The pump housing may include an integral vapor trap.

The ornamental design that is claimed is shown in the drawings as solid lines and surfaces having surface shading: The broken lines in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design. For example, broken lines formed by equal length dashes show unclaimed portions of the design. Broken lines formed of unequal length dashes (i.e., dash-dot) show boundaries between either claimed and unclaimed portions of the design or between unclaimed and unclaimed portions of the design. Break lines having a jagged element are not part of the claimed design and show unspecified lengths of the portion are possible. The appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.-

Abstract: A heat management system for air-cooled engines suitable to power yard care equipment or vehicles. The system may generally comprise an engine, a blower configured to blow ambient cooling air across the engine, and an exhaust system comprising an exhaust header and a muffler. The exhaust header has an inlet end which receives heated exhaust gas from the engine and an outlet end fluidly coupled to the muffler. An air control baffle is configured to redirect a portion of the cooling air from the blower towards the exhaust header and the muffler to enhance cooling the exhaust system. The system may further include an outermost protective shield exposed to equipment operators and an inner heat barrier or shield located between the muffler and protective shield. The system is designed to ameliorate both radiative and convective sources of heat transfer to maintain the protective shield at temperatures below established industry standards.

Abstract: CNT membrane filter cartridges and residential and commercial filtration applications for CNT membrane filter cartridges. CNT filtration can create both a high purity water stream, as well as a concentrated feed stream. CNT membrane filter cartridges can improve the mechanics of water transport, while high selectivity is achieved without sacrificing permeability. This benefit translates to allowing ultra-filtration technology to be implemented within a smaller footprint or reducing the need for driving energy.
