Abstract: An automated product diverter for a reciprocally movable conveying device generally provides a stationary base; a reciprocally movable conveyor bed supported by the stationary base; a product diverter that moves in an arc along a product transporting surface of the reciprocally movable conveyor, and an actuator carried by the stationary base and which operatively communicates with the diverter arm, and the reciprocal movement of the conveyor bed and the diverter arm is isolated from the actuator carried by the stationary base.

Abstract: Biomass (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) is processed to produce useful intermediates and products, such as energy, fuels, foods or materials. For example, systems and methods are described that can be used to treat feedstock materials, such as cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic materials, in two or more vaults that can share a common wall.

Abstract: A method for counting and aggregating a pre-determined number of articles includes: driving, by a conveyor, an article stream to move to an end of the conveyor in a single layer state; conveying the article stream in a periodic motion; after the articles in the article stream leave the conveyor, accurately counting the number of the articles; and when a total number of articles in a combination of temporary storage bin is the same as a target number, transporting all articles in the combination of temporary storage bin to a storage device. Article batches are separately delivered to different temporary storage bins, and the total number of articles in temporary storage bins in different combinations is calculated, so as to obtain with a combination in which the number of articles is the same as the target number. The operation efficiency is improved and the manufacturing cost of device is reduced.
