An air circulation system includes an outlet tap having a pair of prong outlets receivable by a corresponding pair of electrical outlets of an electrical receptacle mounted to a vertical wall and positioned near a support surface, the outlet tap having at least two electrical outlets opposite the pair of prong outlets for providing electrical power from one or both of the electrical outlets of the electrical receptacle. A support member operatively connected to the outlet tap, the support member is adapted to suspendedly support a fan vertically above the support surface in response to the outlet tap being received by the electrical receptacle. A timer and a humidistat are connectable to corresponding electrical outlets of the at least two electrical outlets of the outlet tap for selectively controlling operation of the fan.

Apparatus for treating a wetted proppant including a device to estimate fraction of water in a wetted proppant feed of a frac proppant processing plant; a system for determining an environmental temperature at which the wetted proppant will be exposed to in the frac proppant processing plant or in storage holding an output from the frac proppant processing plant; and an additive system to apply a freezing point suppression additive to the wetted proppant in proportion to the fraction of water such that a mixture of the wetted proppant plus the freezing point suppression additive does not solidify at the environmental temperature. A method for treating a wetted proppant is also described.

The present invention relates to a waterproof and trackable hearing aid that can be worn during swimming, bathing, diving and other water activities. The hearing aid is paired with a software application using a wireless channel and can be tracked when lost or goes out of Bluetooth range. The device includes rubber protection for prevention from physical damage and water. A small charging and suction case is used for charging the hearing aid and removing moisture from the hearing aid. The hearing aid is filter-less and can provide amplified sounds to the tympanic membrane of the wearer. The hearing aid includes a solar panel for providing power to the hearing aid device, and can be used for taking calls and listening to music.

A locker includes a pair of spaced-apart upstanding sidewalls and at least one shelf extending between the sidewalls, the shelf and sidewalls defining a compartment. A rack is disposed in the compartment and extends upwardly from the shelf. The rack is dimensioned and configured to support at least a pair of shoulder pads and preferably both pads and a helmet. The rack optionally includes a ventilation system, and the ventilation system may be incorporated into a multi-locker ventilation system.

A liquid removal device is for removing a liquid from a surface. The liquid removal device includes a chassis comprising a handle and an absorber drum and an extractor drum both rotationally coupled with the chassis. The absorber drum includes a cylinder, where an absorbent layer is positioned on an outer drum surface of the absorber drum. The extractor drum includes a reservoir configured to retain the liquid absorbed from the surface, an outer extractor surface, and a plurality of apertures defined by the outer extractor surface in fluid communication with the reservoir. The extractor drum is movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, at least a first portion of the plurality of apertures are in contact with the absorbent layer. In the second position, the first portion of the plurality of apertures are not in contact with the absorbent layer.

A portable drying device that includes a fan unit that distributes air through the device, at least one drying manifold having a first end, a second end, and at least one outlet between the first end and the second end for distributing the drying air. The device further includes at least one dryer attachment selectively secured to the at least one opening of the at least one drying manifold.

A vehicle washing system includes a vehicle treatment area that is configured to receive a vehicle to be dried. At least one dryer media device is positioned in the vehicle treatment area. The at least one dryer media device is configured to dry the vehicle upon contact with the vehicle. An air moving assembly is located adjacent to the at least one dryer media device in the vehicle treatment area, and is configured to remove excess moisture from the at least one dryer media device.

An apparatus is used for cleaning and drying applicator tools, such as brushes, cosmetic applicators, or cosmetic tools. The apparatus according to various embodiments includes an applicator tool holder configured to hold multiple applicators of various sizes with the applicator heads facing down. The applicator tool cleaning apparatus has a cleaning chamber that can dispense liquid to saturate the applicator heads and contact the applicator heads with a textured surface to dislodge collected materials on the applicator heads and a drying chamber where drying mechanisms blow air or dissipate heat at the applicator heads until dried. The applicator tool holder may be moved vertically between the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber via a motor and drive mechanism. Alternatively, the applicator tool holder may be flipped such that the applicator heads are facing upwards and aligned with the drying mechanisms.
