Abstract:
An apparatus and method of separating medium-sized materials such as trash, bottles, floated articles, and submerged articles from garbage for collection by means of wind and water is disclosed. Moreover, an initial cleaning of garbage and a dilution of toxic materials contained therein are performed while disposing garbage, thereby significantly reducing a possibility of contracting diseases by or poisoning cleaning employees.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for an improved method and apparatus for cleaning industrial lubricants used in industrial processes. The method comprises providing a centrifugal separator apparatus connected as a bypass or in-line filter in the lubricating or washing fluid tank. The apparatus includes a centrifugal separator having a casing and a rotor rotatably mounted in the casing. A centrifugal pump is provided between the tank and the inlet of the separator. A source of compressed air is provided connected to the casing of the separator. Some of the fluid from the tank is pumped by the centrifugal pump into the separator to cause the rotor to rotate at a speed sufficient to provide a rotational force of the fluid impinging on the casing of between about 1000 g and about 2000 g to thereby clean the fluid. The cleaned fluid is returned to the tank. The volume of air in the casing is maintained by introduction of air into the casing by the source of compressed air. A control panel is provided to monitor the operation of the separator and control the pump and source of compressed air to maintain rotational force of the separator within the range.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of separating heavy materials in garbage from light ones is taking advantage of water as a means for carrying floated garbage and submerged garbage and sinking the heavy materials in garbage by considering specific weight, buoyancy, and flow rate of water so as to remove the light materials in garbage and the heavy materials in garbage from the water container at different elevations and then to classify the heavy materials in garbage prior to collection.
Abstract:
An insulation box unit and a refrigerator of the present invention employs i) rigid urethane foam with a 8.0 MPa-or-greater bending modulus, and a 60 kg/m3-or-lower density, and ii) a vacuum insulation material. The proper bending modulus provides the insulation box unit with a substantial strength, even in the case that the coverage of the vacuum insulation material with respect to the surface of the outer box exceeds 40%. The proper density prevents the insulation box unit from poor insulation efficiency due to undesired solid thermal conductivity. Despite of an extended use of the vacuum insulation material, the insulation box unit offers an excellent insulation efficiency and therefore accelerates energy saving. According to the recycling method of the present invention, rigid urethane foam formed of tolylene di-isocyanate composition, which was separated from refrigerator wastes, is recycled as a material of rigid urethane foam.

Abstract:
An automated blood separation method and apparatus is described that allows for the separation of multiple units of blood simultaneously. The method and apparatus reliably and quickly separates blood into its components. An auto-balancing feature within the apparatus automatically preferably compensates for the changing state of imbalance, thereby eliminating the need for additional balancing steps during the separation process. The apparatus has a rotor into which a plurality of cassettes can be inserted. The cassettes have a number of sections for the containment of the whole blood and for the separated blood components, which are contained in disposable bags. The rotor is placed into a centrifuge assembly, and the blood components are then separated and transferred to the bags in the individual sections of the cassettes. Means for including secondary separation devices such as filters is included. The manufacturing information regarding the lot identities used and the conditions under which each unit was processed is also included.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method capable of separating plastic films from garbage for collection is taking advantage of ductility of plastics, separation and extensibility properties of plastic films in water, and adhesion property of water to plastic films in order to provide a novel and unique garbage disposal implementation of rapidly, effectively, conveniently, and precisely separating medium-sized, light materials and plastic films from small garbage for collection and perform an initial cleaning of garbage by means of water while classifying garbage for facilitating a subsequent garbage disposal.
Abstract:
An electrostatic precipitator that removes zinc whiskers from cooling air provided to cool components in an electronics enclosure. The electrostatic precipitator comprises an ionizer configured to apply a charge to zinc whiskers suspended in the cooling air. The electrostatic precipitator also comprises a collector that collects charged zinc whiskers from the contaminated cooling air to generate uncontaminated cooling air for cooling the components of the electronics enclosure. The electrostatic precipitator is configured to be disposed in the cooling air flow path upstream of the components such that the cooling air travels through the electrostatic precipitator prior to impinging on the components.
Abstract:
Array hybridization can be facilitated by agitating a reaction cell subject to centrifugal force greater than 1G. A two-dimensional hybridization array is preferably oriented generally orthogonal to the centrifugal force. Agitation involves titling the array back and forth about an axis, preferably parallel to a centrifuge axis. The centrifugal force serves, in a sense, as supergravity helping to overcome non-specific binding forces (viscous forces and other forces at the liquidsolid boundary) that limit the rate of liquid flow. Thus, the agitation rate and the related replenishment rate can be increased. The agitation causes the sample liquid to wash back and forth across the array, which remains protected by a thin liquid film. The resulting nulltidalnull motion, results in thorough mixing of the sample liquid. In addition, since only a thin film is required over much of the array, typically costly sample volume can be reduced. Thus, faster hybridization with lower sample volumes can be achieved.
Abstract:
A sortation assembly for sorting articles includes first and second substantially straight sections and a curved section between the first and second straight sections. The sortation assembly includes a plurality of chutes that are movable along the first and second straight sections and the curved section in a continuous loop. Each of the straight sections includes a plurality of sort stations along at least one side. The chutes are movable along and over the sort stations of both straight sections and are operable to deposit articles to bins or trays positioned at the sort stations. The curved connecting section guides the chutes between the first and second straight sections, which may be arranged at an angle relative to one another.
