20080295356 | Indirectly heated screw processor apparatus and methods - A new Indirectly Heated Screw Processor Apparatus and Methods wherein a series of rotating helical ducts or hollow flites radial to a shaft, transfers heat via a heat transfer medium, the first face flite disc facing in the opposite direction to material or product flow and thereby significantly increasing the product retention time and thermal heat transfer. Heat is transferred via a heat transfer medium through a rotary joint to the inner surface of the hollow shaft. The flites continuously traverse a longitudinal portion of the rotor wherein said flites are equally spaced apart in a substantially parallel angle and orientation, the spacing, or pitch, concluding in a non-flite, or “dead zone” region of the longitudinal length of rotor wherein the material or product accumulates and is retained for an increased amount of time, and when compared to conventional indirect-heating screw conveyors, the apparatus provides a higher percentage of flite height fill. | 12-04-2008 |
20090133285 | Household Appliances for Washing and/or Drying Clothes - Household appliance for washing and/or drying clothes comprising an outer casing ( | 05-28-2009 |
20100146813 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DRYING SUBSTRATES - A method for drying substrates using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) includes: a pre-stage in which heated fluid is injected to a bottom surface of a substrate to raise a temperature of the substrate simultaneously to injection of an organic solvent to a top surface of the substrate and injection of a dry gas to the top surface thereof to improve a vaporization power of the organic solvent; and a final stage in which the injection of the heated fluid is stopped and the organic solvent and the dry gas are injected to the top surface of the substrate. | 06-17-2010 |
20100313443 | SUBSTRATE PROXIMITY DRYING USING IN-SITU LOCAL HEATING OF SUBSTRATE - A method is provided for removing a residual fluid remaining at a point of contact between a substrate support member and a back surface of a substrate being prepared by a proximity head. According to the method, the proximity head is applied onto the back surface of the substrate and the substrate support member being held by a carrier. The substrate support member is heated after the substrate support member passes the proximity head. The heating of the substrate support member is discontinued once the residual fluid has substantially evaporated. | 12-16-2010 |
20140101968 | REMOVING MOISTENING LIQUID USING HEATING-LIQUID BARRIER - A method for removing a moistening liquid from a moistened medium includes providing a liquid-blocking barrier having a first surface and a second surface that is impermeable to a heating liquid. A surface of the moistened medium is brought into contact with the first surface of the liquid-blocking barrier. The heating liquid is brought into contact with the second surface of the liquid-blocking barrier, the heating liquid being at a temperature greater than a moistening-liquid boiling point. Heat is thus transferred through the liquid-blocking barrier from the heating liquid to the moistening liquid, vaporizing the moistening liquid and removing it from the moistened medium. | 04-17-2014 |

20140068963 | PROCESS FOR EXTRACTION OF WATER FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE, CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS, AND PUTRESCIBLE WASTE - A process for reducing the cost associated with the transportation and disposal of waste material by extracting water ad other liquids from municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, and putrescible waste to thereby significantly reduce the weight of the material prior to transport. In one embodiment, the process involves waste product being turned through a heated auger system, wherein the waste material is indirectly heated by high temperature oil to remove the liquid (including water) and moisture content from the waste product. In another embodiment, the process involves manual or automated movement of the waste material through an environmentally contained area that houses heating devices (e.g., heat lamps) for simulating sunlight, fans, and a water purification and filtration system for drying the waste material and delivering the water content to the water filtration and purification system. | 03-13-2014 |
