A chemical composition and method for cleaning and increasing crispness of fresh produce includes an aqueous solution containing sodium chloride, citric acid, ascorbic acid and D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate. Fresh, produce is soaked in the aqueous solution for a period of time to increase crispness of the fresh produce, to kill bacteria on the fresh, produce and to cause the fresh produce to resist recontamination or cross-contamination from bacteria.
摘要:
An exhaust gas capture system for capturing the exhaust gas emitted by auxiliary engines, auxiliary boilers, and other sources on an Ocean Going Vessel (OGV) while at berth or at anchor so that these gases may be carried to an emissions treatment system for removal of air pollutants and or greenhouse gases. The exhaust gas capture system includes a manifold and a family of parallel-flow flexible ducts for connecting directly to individual OGV exhaust pipes. The exhaust gas capture system further includes apparatus for connecting the parallel-flow flexible ducts to the OGV exhaust pipes.

A wheel assembly (66) is connected to a base bottom surface (26) of a receptacle (20) for facilitating rolling movement of the receptacle (20) over ground at a construction site. The wheel assembly (66) includes a pair of flanges (68) extending downwardly from the base bottom surface (26) of a front area (34) and a roller (70) is rotatably supported by and extends between the flanges (68). The roller (70) includes a drum (72) and a roller extremity (74) and a plurality of teeth (76) are disposed about the drum (72) and extend from the drum (72) to the roller extremity (74). The flanges (68) extend to a position to dispose the roller extremity (74) below the base bottom surface (26) of the receptacle (20) for supporting the receptacle (20) on the roller (70) and a first intersection (32) of a middle and rear area (36, 38) of the base bottom surface (26) in a static condition.

An emissions control system utilizes otherwise wasted heat to efficiently reduce emissions in a main exhaust flow. Heat stored in exhaust from an auxiliary generator (i.e., auxiliary exhaust) may be used to convert urea to ammonia used by a Selective Catalytic Reducer (SCR) system, and/or the auxiliary exhaust may be used to heat the main exhaust flow before entry into an SCR. Additionally, a heat exchanger may be used to transfer heat from a hot clean flow out of the SCR, to the main exhaust flow entering the SCR. Previously, mobile emissions control systems have not used SCR systems to reduce NOx because of the cost and space required for heater fuel. The efficient use of otherwise wasted heat reduces fuel cost and fuel storage requirements, and thereby makes an SCR systems feasible for use in mobile emissions control systems.
摘要:
A high intensity discharge (HID) strobe lamp assembly including an HID lamp and circuitry arranged to maintain a current flow to the arc gap of the lamp throughout the powered operation of the lamp during strobing emissions as well as non-strobing operation. The lamp assembly thereby avoids problems incident to turn-on of the lamp for strobing emissions in prior lamps, in which long delay times between successive strobe emissions are necessary or high turn-on voltages are needed to flash the lamp. The lamp assembly of the invention avoids the requirement of long relaxation periods between successive strobe events and the need for high voltage conditions for strobing of the lamp, so that the lamp is able to operate in an efficient manner without generating EMI in the MegaHertz-GigaHertz range.

An x-ray detector apparatus comprises an array of detector pixels (20), each pixel (20) comprising a conversion element (26, 260) for converting incident radiation into a charge flow, a charge storage element (28) and a switching device (29) enabling the charge stored to be provided to an output of the pixel (20). A plurality of dose sensing pixels further comprise a dose sensing element (40, 50) during x-ray exposure results in a change in the charge stored on the charge storage element (28) and also results in a dose sensing signal being generated which can be read out from the pixel (20). The dose sensing pixels enable a dose signal to be obtained without reading the charges stored on the pixel charge storage elements, so that dose sensing can be carried out during exposure.
摘要:
An animated display having a case defining an internal display chamber that is visible from externally of the case. A plurality of discrete particles are provided within the display chamber. Structure is provided on the case for propelling the discrete particles in a continuous circular path with the particles suspended in a fluid within the display chamber.

The invention relates to a method of scribing and separating dice from each other after fabrication in a semiconductor wafer in a manner such that active circuit regions in the dice reside as near to an edge of a die as possible. The wafer is anistropically etched through the active layer and into the substrate through an opening in the mask to form a generally V-shaped channel with the dice then being separated along a vertex of the channel. The dice are then positioned to abut each other in the form of a mosaic.
