Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for washing of eggs including a housing with a first feed conveyor for receiving eggs through the housing inlet and conveying these eggs to a second conveyor. The second conveyor transports the eggs through an intermediate egg washing means which can include cylindrical brushes, flat brushes or end brushes for cleaning of eggs therebelow and includes a means dispensing cleaning solution onto the egg surfaces. The eggs are then transferred from the second conveying means to a third conveying means which are transported through a brush and cleaning solution lower washing station for final cleaning thereof. The eggs then exit through an outlet for sanitizing and/or drying as may be necessary. The three conveyors utilized in this invention are vertically tiered and preferably the second conveyor will move in a direction immediately below and opposite relative to the first conveyor and the third conveyor will move in the direction similar to the first conveyor but below the second conveyor. In this manner a three tiered arranging of conveyors is provided. The first conveyor can include a pre-washing station for minimizing dirt retention on the egg surfaces by extending the time period upon which the cleaning is in contact with the exterior surface of the eggs.

Abstract: A method and a system are provided for cleaning a surface of a wafer. The method starts by scrubbing the surface of the wafer with a cleaning brush that applies a chemical solution to the surface of the wafer. In one example, the cleaning brush implements a through the brush (TTB) technique to apply the chemicals. The scrubbing is generally performed in a brush box, with a top cleaning brush and a bottom cleaning brush. The top cleaning brush is then removed from contact with the surface of the wafer. The chemical concentration in the top brush may be maintained at substantially the same concentration that was in the brush during the scrubbing operation. Next, a flow of water (preferably de-ionized water) is delivered to the surface of the wafer. The delivery of water is preferably configured to remove substantially all of the chemical solution from the surface of the wafer before proceeding to a next cleaning operation.

Abstract: Methods of and apparatus for washing an array of sites in high-density microplates or similar assay plates wherein the microplates or assay plates are washed in an inverted or nearly inverted position, rather than in an upright position. Preferably, the wash liquid is dispensed upwardly in the form of a sheet from a nozzle mounted on a spray bar as the spray bar moves relative to the microplate or assay plate. After washing, the microplate or assay plate is dried with a stream of gas such as air, also preferably blown upwardly in the form of a sheet.

Abstract: Each immersed jet creates turbulences as a result of the resistance of the medium in which it is immersed and at the end of its effective range the complete introduced energy is broken down into turbulent flows. These turbulent flows observed as a whole are local, thus are small-scale. It is however indeed these small-scale turbulences which have a strong eroding effect and it is the object of the invention to produced as high a number as possible of small-scale turbulences and to distribute these over a large volume. Large volume is to be understood as for example 3000-4000 m3 on a surface of 2000 m2 and a height of 2 m as is the case with a storage tank of 50 m diameter and a liquid column of 3 m. The problem thus lies in the optimal distribution of the introduced energy.

Abstract translation: 每个浸入式喷射器由于浸入其中的介质的电阻而产生湍流，并且在其有效范围的最后，完全引入的能量被分解成湍流。 观察到的这些湍流是局部的，因此是小规模的。 然而，这些小型湍流确实具有很强的侵蚀作用，本发明的目的是产生尽可能多的小型湍流并将其分布在大体积上。 在2000m 2的表面上，体积应该被理解为例如3000-4000m 3，高度为2m，如直径为50μm的储罐和3m的液柱 。 因此，问题在于引入能量的最佳分布。
