摘要:
Reservoir for a dispense system designed to maintain a suspending fluid flow within the reservoir. The fluid dispense system is particularly well suited to be manufactured in a single-use format comprising a fluid reservoir and fill tube assembly, particularly comprising a reservoir, tubing, fittings and connectors, and a needle. The system ensures uniformity within the liquid by moving the fluid through the product reservoir such as with a continuous or pulsating flow, and is designed to maintain the fluid in motion in order to maintain a homogenous solution. The reservoir is designed to minimize any fluid dead zones.
摘要:
A dispense apparatus and system for dispensing suspensions or emulsions. The system ensures uniformity of distribution of the dispersed phase within the continuous-phase liquid by moving the fluid through the dispense cartridge, such as with a continuous or pulsating flow. In one embodiment, peristaltic pumps are positioned upstream and downstream of the dispense cartridge, in fluid communication with and forming a single loop with a fluid source. Circulation between the fluid source and the dispense cartridge is maintained. In a second embodiment, a pump circulates fluid into and out of the dispense cartridge and is also in fluid communication with a fluid source such as with a pinch valve to allow proper filling of the dispense cartridge from the fluid source. In a third embodiment, a reversing pump is placed between the dispense cartridge and fluid source to continually or continuously pump fluid into and out of the dispense cartridge.

A slotted bladeless turbine disc stamped or otherwise formed from a single solid sheet of material with slots formed in the disc to redirect fluid passing through it is disclosed and illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The form of the slots is curved, slanted and aligned at an angle to the plane of the disc and along a radial from the center of rotation of the disc in such a manner as to force fluids passing through the disc to change direction. Reaction forces of the fluid on the many slots in the disc creates a resultant rotational force on the center of rotation of the disc and thus on the rotatable shaft to which the disc is rigidly attached. To form a turbine one or more slotted discs are assembled on a shaft and enclosed in a case.

Techniques for separating downhole fluid from a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation are provided. These techniques may involve a cyclone separator having a housing with an intake for receiving the downhole fluid and at least one outlet, a cyclone section for rotating the downhole fluid, and an isolation plate positioned below the cyclone section. The isolation plate has a plurality of slots along a perimeter thereof positionable adjacent an inner surface of the housing for selectively passing portions of the downhole fluid out of the cyclone section. The cyclone separator further having a catching section for receiving the portions of the downhole fluid passing through the isolation plate for gravitational separation into a plurality of phases therein. The catching section has a plurality of baffles for stopping rotation of the portions of the downhole fluid.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for a method for reducing the amount of acrylamide in thermally processed foods. This invention permits the production of foods having significantly reduced levels of acrylamide. The method relies on the manipulation of various unit operations used in the production of food products, particularly the washing and cooking unit operations. For example, the washing unit operation can be modified to provide a contacting step at an increased time and temperature, and adding components such as calcium chloride and L-cysteine to an aqueous solution used for the contacting. The cooking unit operation can be modified by dividing it into at least a higher-temperature first heating step and a lower-temperature second heating step in order to avoid the high-temperature/low-moisture conditions most favorable for acrylamide formation.

A pump enclosure comprises a base, a plurality of pillars, and a cover. One of the pillars comprises interconnecting aluminium extrusions defining therebetween a housing for pump control circuitry. This pillar can also provide a heat sink for dissipating heat generated during use of a pump away from the control circuitry.

This invention provides a communication device that is capable of interacting with a local wireless communication system when the communication device is within range of the local wireless communication system for controlling operating characteristics of the communication device. The communication device may include cellular telephones, mobile phones, voice pagers, data pagers, mobile computers, palm computers, mobile facsimile machines, mobile appliances, multimedia devices and other wireless communication devices. The local wireless communication system may be located in any site such as an office building, home, hotel, concert hall, movie theater, restaurant, conference room, or public transportation systems. When the local wireless communication system determines that a command is to be sent, the system may transmit a command to all communication devices that are within range of the local wireless communication system, or to a subset of them. For example, the local wireless communication system in an airplane may send a command to all cell phones within its range to turn off to prevent harmful interference with the airplanes communication system. As another example, a local wireless communication system in a concert hall may send a command to change a wireless communication device from ringing mode to vibrate mode during a concert. The command may be any kind of command. The command can change an operating characteristic of the wireless communication device while optionally giving the device the continued ability to communicate and interact with other communication networks. In another alternative, a wireless communication device such as a cell phone may receive information about a user's hearing aid and its “prescription” from a local wireless communication system and change its output characteristics to emulate the hearing aid so that the user can use the wireless communication device without the hearing aid. Also, wireless communication device may communicate with a local wireless communication system to turn off a user's headphone when the wireless communication device receives an incoming call or data signal.
