20130257630 | TIME DIVERSIFIED PACKET PROTOCOL - A method of reporting information from a meter interface unit to a receiving device in which a data packet is transferred from the meter interface unit containing meter readings, which are associated with an indicator of the elapsed time since the reading was taken. The receiving device compares this elapsed time value with the actual elapsed time, based upon the internal clock of the receiving device, in order to determine any inaccuracies in the clock of the meter interface unit. In another embodiment, the data packet includes at least two nonsequential meter readings, separated by a multiplicity of reading intervals, on a rolling basis, such that data will not be lost as a result of a temporary obstruction that interferes with the transmission or receipt of meter readings. | 10-03-2013 |

20090145355 | APPARATUS FOR TREATING PARTICLES - An apparatus for treating a plurality of particles, such as ammonium sulfate, with a coating, such as a wax, to prevent caking of the particles. The apparatus includes a feed chute, a diffuser and an exit chute. An applicator is mounted adjacent a base of the diffuser for spraying the coating downwardly away from the diffuser into a predefined pattern. The exit chute includes a deflector for intersecting a curtain of particles falling from the diffuser and for redirecting the particles into the predefined pattern of the coating. A heating element is mounted to the deflector for maintaining a predetermined temperature of the deflector thereby preventing accumulation of the coating on the deflector. | 06-11-2009 |

20100201091 | SINGLE-WHEELED AND DOUBLE-WHEELED WHEELBARROW - A system and kit to modify a wheelbarrow to a single-wheeled wheelbarrow or a double-wheeled wheelbarrow configuration. The kit has a pair of axles, a pair of wheels, and a sleeve. To form a single-wheeled wheelbarrow, an axle is inserted through a first axle bracket, through a wheel, and then through a second axle bracket. A pin is inserted through a hole at the tip of the axle. To form a double-wheeled wheeled barrow, a first axle is inserted through a first wheel and then through a first axle bracket. A second axle is inserted through a second wheel and then through a second axle bracket. A sleeve holds the ends of both the axles. Pins are utilized for locking the axles with the corresponding axle brackets or sleeve. In the single-wheeled configuration the second wheel, second axle, and sleeve can be stored on the wheelbarrow. | 08-12-2010 |
