Metastable state spore incubation mixing systems are described. An example system includes a spores container to store spores, a nutrient container to store nutrients, a water supply line, a syringe tank, a syringe pump, an adjustable valve, a heater, and a controller. In a drawing phase of the system, a controller can cause the syringe pump and the adjustable valve to draw into the syringe tank a volume of spores, nutrients, and water to form a mixture. The controller causes the heater to heat the mixture for a period of time. In a dispensing phase of the system, the controller can cause the syringe pump to expel the mixture through the adjustable valve and into a water distribution system. The controller can direct the system through a number of other phases of operation.

System and method of metastable state mixing

Disclosed are various embodiments of a nested brush. The nested brush can include a first brush and a second brush. The first brush can include a first elongated handle and a first brush head. The first elongated handle can include a first end, a second end, and a brush receptacle extending from the first end of the first elongated handle along a portion of the first elongated handle. The first brush head can be attached to the first end of the first elongated handle. The second brush can include a second elongated handle and a second brush head. The second elongated handle can include a first end and a second end. The second elongated handle can be configured to fit within the brush receptacle of the first elongated handle. The second brush head can be attached to the first end of the second elongated handle.

Nested brush

A cleaning attachment for a utility bucket is disclosed. One embodiment, among others, the cleaning attachment includes a ramp with a first end and a second end. The second end may have a greater height than the first end. The cleaning attachment also includes a back platform and a rim engagement slot. The back platform may have a smaller height than the second end of the ramp. The rim engagement slot can be configured to engaging a rim of the utility bucket. The rim engagement slot can formed between a back wall of the second end of the ramp and the back platform.

Bucket attachment

Various embodiments are described for a squeegee apparatus configured to facilitate a removal of paint or other debris in an annular recess of a can, such as a paint can. The squeegee apparatus may include a body having a first recess to receive a first lip of a can, a second recess to receive a second lip of the can, and a projection to extend into an annular recess of the can. The squeegee apparatus may include a guard wall projecting laterally from the body and a ramp at least partially defined by a distal end of the projection. The ramp and the projection can be positioned such that, when the body of the squeegee apparatus is pulled along the annular recess of the paint can, paint or other debris residing in the annular recess is forced up the ramp and redirected towards an interior chamber of the can.

Paint can squeegee apparatus

Various apparatuses and methods that facilitate dual flush capability are presented. In one embodiment, an apparatus is provided that includes a dual flush mechanism configured to provide for a dual flush capability in a toilet. The dual flush mechanism can include a basket structure. A gasket can be attached to the dual flush mechanism. The gasket can form a seal between the dual flush mechanism and a flush orifice of a flush valve.

Adaptation of flush valve for dual flush capability

An adjustable-length toilet fastener assembly and method for use wherein the constituent components are cooperatively configured to provide height adjustability without cutting or breaking parts of the assembly for various installation environments and floor configurations when securing a toilet to an underlying support such as a closet collar or other mounting flange. In one embodiment, a tightening tool provided as part of the subject assembly is engageable with and concealed by a low-profile decorative cap.
