Title: Adapter for connecting a low voltage light bulb to a standard electrical light socket
Inventor: HARLAN WHIL
IPC: H01R24/00
Filed: 2008-09-22
Granted: 2014-07-10
Abstract: A lamp socket adapter (1, 31) to receive a relatively low cost, low voltage (e.g., wedge base or bipin) light bulb (50, 60) so that the light bulb can be powered from a source (80, 82, 84) of 12 volts AC or DC. The lamp socket adapter of this invention is adapted to be rotated into mating engagement with a standard Edison-type lamp socket (70-1, 70-2) that is to be connected to receive one of an AC or DC voltage. By virtue of the foregoing, an efficient light bulb circuit is available by which one or more low voltage light bulbs can provide bright light over an area to be illuminated with reduced power consumption relative to a conventional 120 volt AC-powered incandescent light bulb. The lamp socket adapter (1, 31) includes an upstanding bulb pedestal (10, 40) to which the light bulb (50, 60) is attached and supported. First (17, 47) and second (14, 44) electrically-conductive strips extend through the lamp socket adapter (1, 31) by which to connect the low voltage light bulb (50, 60) seated upon the bulb pedestal (10, 40) to the Edison lamp socket (70-1, 70-2) so that the light bulb can be powered by the 12 volts AC or DC supplied to the lamp socket.

Title: Improvements in water conserving devices and processes
Inventor: SMITH NEAL W
IPC: F16K11/00
Filed: 2008-10-14
Granted: 2015-04-09
Abstract: The initially cold water streams of a household hot water plumbing circuit are accumulated in a storage container to be thereafter drained off with the cold water stream at various flow restricted levels, thereby conserving water use. This accumulate may be adjustably admixed into the waste products of a household drinking water purification system, thereby diluting it to acceptable levels that may be useful for washing and the like. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the fresh water stream may be admixed into the water purification waste water stream. Each of these water conserving functions is conformed to be combined in a stepwise manner, thereby accommodating budgetary and use growth constraints.

Title: Two-material separable insulated connector
Inventor: HUGHES DAVID CHARLES
IPC: H01R13/53
Filed: 2009-02-16
Granted: 2014-02-20
Abstract: Stiff and soft materials each provide certain advantages when used in the manufacture of separable insulated connectors, such as elbow and T-body connectors. Utilizing a shell or an insert that includes one section made from a stiff material and one section made from a soft material can provide a separable insulated connector that capitalizes on the advantages associated with both types of materials. The stiff materials and soft materials can be placed strategically on the shell or insert of the separable insulated connector to maximize the advantages of each material. For example, the stiff material can be used to form a section of the separable insulated connector where strength and durability is most desirable, and conversely, the soft material can be used to form a section of the connector where flexibility is desirable.

Granted: 2014-06-26
Abstract: A biotrickling filter bed for exhaust gas treatment comprises an exhaust gas inlet (1), packing layers (2), spray tubes (13), a spray liquid storage tank (3) and an exhaust gas outlet (5). After the exhaust gas passes the exhaust gas inlet (1) and then a first packing layer (2), the flow direction of the exhaust gas is changed at the bottom of the first packing layer (2) such that the exhaust gas passes a second packing layer (2) in a flow direction opposite to that in the first packing layer (2), resulting in a crossflow configuration. Two different flow directions of the exhaust gas compose a crossflow unit. The biotrickling filter bed is composed of two or more crossflow units. An exhaust gas treatment method using the biotrickling filter bed comprises: feeding the exhaust gas into the biotrickling filter bed through the exhaust gas inlet (1); cleaning it by the crossflow packing layers (2); passing the cleaned exhaust gas through a demister (6) and discharging it from the biotrickling filter bed; spraying on the packing layers (2) using spray heads on the top of the biotrickling filter bed; and flushing the packing layers (2) using flush pipes (8) in the packing layers (2).
