Conveyance drain emitter
A rainwater collection system comprises a vault assembly and a drain emitter. At least a portion of the vault assembly is underground and is located above percolation region in the ground. The drain emitter is connected to the conveyance line such that a primary portion of the collected water flows into the at least one storage tank and a secondary portion of the collected water flows out of the conveyance line through the drain emitter at a preset emitter flow rate. The drain emitter is arranged within the vault assembly, above the percolation region, and below the conveyance opening. The preset emitter flow rate is predetermined such that the flow of the secondary portion of the collected water out of the conveyance line through the drain emitter drains standing water from the conveyance line and the secondary portion of the collected water percolates through the percolation region.
Gutter extension fastening system
A gutter fastening system for a building allows a downspout extension to be selectively attached to an elbow joint of a downspout. A plurality of mounting members that can be screws are screwed through the downspout and/or the downspout extension. A flexible elastic piece that serves as a linkage member is then placed on a first portion of the screws and secures the downspout extension to the downspout. The elastic piece is selectively removable from the downspout and the downspout extension allowing the downspout extension to be removed from the downspout.
SOLUBLE EPOXIDE HYDROLASE AS A TARGET FOR OCULAR DISEASES
Methods of using compounds to inhibit ocular disease are disclosed herein. Methods are disclosed for inhibiting soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) for the treatment of ocular diseases, and in particular, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or diabetic retinopathy.
Rain gutter diverter system
The rain gutter diverter system comprises an outer enclosure, a diverter, a height adjuster, and a ground hose. The outer enclosure extends a downspout. The diverter, located within the outer enclosure, collects and diverts a portion of the rainwater passing through the outer enclosure to a hose aperture on the side of the outer enclosure. A height adjuster coupled to the hose aperture passes the rainwater down to ground level where it enters a ground hose. The ground hose disperses the rainwater along the length of the ground hose. A flipper valve at the top of the diverter allows a user to prevent the diversion of rainwater. A debris guard above the diverter prevents debris from entering the diverter.
Rooftop rainwater drainage assembly
A rooftop rainwater drainage assembly that is at least partially concealed from view from an exterior of a dwelling. In particular, the rooftop drainage assembly can include an opening spout secured to a roof deck region of a dwelling, and an elongated downspout having a first region disposed between an exterior wall and an interior wall of the dwelling and secured to the opening spout, thereby at least partially concealing the downspout from view from both the interior wall and exterior wall of the dwelling.
SPLASH BLOCK
A splash block can include a base surface and a raised sidewall surrounding the base surface except for an outlet side of the base surface. The raised sidewall defines an inlet sidewall located opposite the outlet side of the base and a pair of longitudinal sidewalls spanning from the inlet sidewall towards the outlet side of the base. A tab is provided to the inlet sidewall. The tab is attached to the inlet sidewall such that the tab can pivot between a first position extending horizontally outwardly away from the base surface and a second position folded under the splash block such that the tab does not protrude outwardly from the raised sidewall. A first aperture can be defined in the tab to receive an anchor spike. A second aperture can be defined in the base surface adjacent to the outlet side in order to receive an anchor spike.
Gutter downspout end guard
The present invention provides a shielding assembly for concealing and supporting exposed edges of an open end of a gutter downspout. The shielding assembly includes two rigid bracket members that each have a body portion and leg portions that integrally extend from opposing ends of the body portion. The bracket members are configured to engage together around the exposed edges of the gutter downspout with the leg portions overlapped with each other to form overlapping end sections. The overlapping end sections are each configured to be fastened together and secured to the gutter downspout with a fastener that extends through the respective overlapping end section and an outer wall of the gutter downspout.
INTERNAL IRRIGATION CIRCUIT BOARD, PLANTABLE ROOF TILE COMPRISED OF AN INTERNAL IRRIGATION CIRCUIT BOARD AND A WALL PANEL COMPRISED OF AN INTERNAL IRRIGATION CIRCUIT BOARD
This describes an internal irrigation circuit board (10) that comprises: a body (1), with a planting niche (2) adjacent to a drip irrigation channel (3) holding at least one drip irrigation hose (5), with the drip irrigation channel (3) functioning in cooperation with the planting niche (2) through a connecting channel (4) arrayed concurrently with the drip irrigation channel (3), said connecting channel (4) conveying water accumulated in the drip irrigation channel (3) to the planting niche (2).
