摘要:
A method of converting organic materials into useful products and disposable waste including the steps of shredding the organic material into particles, mixing the organic particles with water to obtain a pumpable slurry, raising the temperature and pressure of the slurry to about 300.degree. to 500.degree. C. and about 8000 to 12,000 psig in a reaction vessel to cause the slurry to hydropyrolyize, separating the products of hydropyrolysis to remove gases from the liquids and solids, separating the liquids and solids, treating the separated gases and liquids to extract hydrocarbon components therefrom and using the solids as fuel directly.
摘要:
A modular motor or alternator assembly which comprises an alternator or a motor having a rotor with longitudinal lobes and no windings, commutators, slip rings, magnets, or laminations. A number of modules are provided including two end bell modules, a stator and field coil module, a field coil module, and a stator module. A plurality of stator and field coil modules, field coil modules, and stator modules may be combined with the two end bell modules and a rotor to create a wide variety of motors or alternators having using combinations of standard modules. For instance, motor of various horsepowers can be created using multiple standardized modules.
摘要:
A displacement sensor employs an electromagnetic radiation source that generates a beam of electromagnetic radiation for measuring a feature of an object. The displacement sensor includes a displacement probe, a multi-dimensional diffraction grating and a plurality of photon detectors. A reflection surface, which is changed when the probe interacts with the object, interacts with the beam from the electromagnetic radiation source and reflects a beam from the reflection surface. The multi-dimensional diffraction grating interacts with the reflected beam and generates a pattern of diffracted beams. Each photon detector senses a different diffracted beam, thereby providing information about the state of the probe.
