| 20110186667 | SELF-CLEANING COAL SEPARATOR GRIDS WITH MULTIPLE CLEANING COMBS - A lump coal size sorting grate comprising parallel bars is provided with three spaced apart, parallel cleaning combs which can be individually activated to clean the sizing grid of lodged coal lumps in a predetermined sequence so that the entire sizing grid is never closed during a coal sorting operation. The cleaning combs are made of spaced, parallel bars which can be pivoted upwardly, between and through the bars of the sizing grate. An adaptive system which senses and responds to a clogged condition in the grate can be provided by sensing crusher motor current or, in the alternative, sensing grate bar deflection using strain gage transducers. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20120256027 | CELL LYSIS APPARATUS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The present invention relates to a cell lysis apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly, to a cell lysis apparatus, which mechanically performs cell lysis, and a manufacturing method thereof. The cell lysis apparatus includes: an inlet port through which fluid containing cells is supplied; a fluid channel defining a passage through which the cell containing fluid supplied from the inlet port flows; a nano blade array including a plurality of nano blades having pointed leading ends and arranged such that the pointed leading ends of the nano blades are oriented in a direction of the fluid supplied through the inlet port to disrupt the cells passing therethrough; and an outlet port through which the disrupted cells and the fluid are discharged. | 10-11-2012 |
| 20120325947 | Apparatus and process for separating carpet fibers - Apparatus for separating components of post-consumer carpet—pile, adhesive, and primary/secondary backings—may initially comprise spectrographic face fiber identification. Separating substantial portions of pile from backing comprises feeding carpeting into a rotating pinned drum, with separated pile U's dropping, while a residual composition, being primarily backing, travels with the drum, to be separated therefrom using vacuum pressure, with the composite backing being sent to a press. Vacuum pressure delivers the separated U's to a spinning perforated squirrel cage to remove dislodged pieces of adhesive, by vacuum pressure applied to an interior top portion of the cage to draw pieces therein. Rotating the perforated squirrel cage, which is sealed on the exterior using a belt, permits the U's to drop into a hopper. A mesh shaker box vibrates to separate any remaining backing from the pile U's. Hammers in a fibermill remove remaining adhesive attached to the separated pile U fiber. | 12-27-2012 |
