Title: Coil drain pan apparatus
Inventor: BROWN PHILLIP GUY
IPC: F24D19/08
Filed: 2004-11-03
Abstract: An air conditioning cooling coil and its associated drain pan are positionable in either a vertical or horizontal air flow orientation. With the drain pan in its vertical air flow orientation, generally horizontally disposed drainage trough portions of the drain pan around its periphery are sloped relative to one another in a manner such that all coil condensation received in the troughs flows by gravity therethrough into a downwardly projecting condensate well and outwardly through an outlet opening therein. When the drain pan is in its horizontal air flow orientation, the troughs are disposed generally in a vertical plane, and coil condensation falls on a specially designed horizontal drip shield, which may be connected to the pan without tools, separate fasteners or sealing material, and drains along the drip shield into one of the pan troughs for discharge from the main drain opening of the pan.

Inventor: CASAS JASSAN GENARO
IPC: A23L27/00
Filed: 2006-10-12
Abstract: An absorbent composition of matter acts as a carrier for an active ingredient.  The active ingredient is gradually released by the carrier in a controlled manner, which is compatible with the environment and current tendencies towards the use of organic and biodegradable products. The carrier is characterized as being particles obtained from the milling, separation, air wash and classification of the different fractions obtained from corncobs. The active ingredient is, for example, an essential oil, such as garlic oil or extract that may be combined with other essential oils for a synergistic effect that results in an improved insecticide/fungicide that is natural and contains no chemical additives. Alternatively, an artificially obtained substitute, for example, allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), can be used as a substitute for mustard seed oil.
