Invention Support Announces a Great New Invention Known as the "Sink-Em"
"Sink-Em" is a great new idea for an invention which would make it easier for kids to enjoy themselves in the pool or bath tub during playtime. The game incorporates plastic toy ships such as "aircraft carriers", "destroyers", "submarines", "tugboats" and seaplanes that float in the water. The ships have a series of plugs or plastic pins in their top sections so they can be pulled to let a controlled amount of water enter the ship by the children during the game. The kids throw sponge missiles or other "bomb-like" sponges at the ships and, when a ship is hit, a plastic pin or plug is them pulled from the top of the ship and this causes the ship to begin slowly sinking. The idea is to sink your opponents ships faster then yours are sunk. This is a great idea for kids who like to incorporate both tossing/ throwing games as well as imaginary "war-games' in the bathtub or pool. The tub toys are about 1/3 scale from the full size pool toys. "Sink-EM" presents a great new potential for the water/ pool game category.

Recent projects in California uncovered a concern that may be unique to that state. Since similar concerns had been raised in previous California projects international dust explosion protection leader, CV Technology (www.cvtechnology.com) was motivated to clarify dust explosion requirements specific to the state of California.
During a recent risk analysis for dust explosion hazards at one of the largest food processing plants in California, several vessels that handle combustible dusts were found to be unprotected. The client required verification of compliance with applicable NFPA Standards, and if shortfalls were found, the client required recommendations for rectification. In this particular facility all of the vessels requiring protection were indoors and it would be quite straight forward to protect them using explosion vents ducted to the outside. Vessels needing protection in facilities such as this include storage silos, bins, hoppers, weigh scales, bucket elevators, and air material separators.
