20090211110CONTINUOUS DRYING APPARATUS AND METHOD - Provided are a continuous drying apparatus and method. The apparatus includes a combustion chamber, a heat exchange chamber, a filter, a mixing chamber, and a drying chamber. Biomass to be dried is loaded into an upper end of the drying chamber and falls on a rotating plate at a bottom of the drying chamber. Heated gas from the combustion chamber is mixed with recycled gas output from the drying chamber, and with recycled gas output from the heat exchange chamber, is filtered and is directed to the mixing chamber. Gas circulates within the mixing chamber and is directed into a lower end of the drying chamber at a drying temperature. The biomass loaded into the drying chamber is dried by the gas, and is extracted off the rotating plate.08-27-2009

20090243559UNIVERSAL, FAIL-SAFE, COMMON CONTROL OF MULTIPLE ALTERNATORS ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED IN TANDEM PARALLEL FOR PRODUCING HIGH CURRENT - Two or more alternators—each typically of an economical cost and of any mixture of types and capacities—are turned by a single power source—normally the engine of a large commercial truck or bus burning fuel so as to produce minimum emissions and thus operating at such higher combustion temperature as does raises the ambient temperature of the engine compartment to 125° Celsius. The several alternators are electrically connected in tandem-parallel across a battery/load. A corresponding number of identical electronic voltage regulators, preferably of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,972 modified according to the present invention, respectively individually control the alternators. One electronic voltage regulators externally programmed to become a designated “master” produces a “universal” control signal in response to variations in a voltage across the battery/load. This “universal” control signal is used (1) in the “master” electronic voltage regulator itself to provide regulation to an associated alternator, and is wired to all other voltage regulators externally programmed as “followers” to (2) produce in each of these voltage regulators produces a signal for the regulation control of its associated alternator not by reference to the battery/load voltage (as would be normal), but rather by reference to the “universal” control signal.10-01-2009
20090243560Pulse-position-modulated vehicular alternator voltage regulator with dual AC-feedback networks, controlled "OFF" period and low inserted electrical noise - A Frequency-On-Demand type voltage regulator firstly has its power output circuit configured as a resettable monostable multivibrator that provides (1) a stable time-base that serves as an internal “OFF”-period reference; preferably also with (2) short-circuit protection to the output power transistor; and (3) a pulse train with sharply defined “ON” and “OFF” transitions as the result of the interaction between the Output and Input Stages of the Power Output Circuit through a first AC Feedback Network. The “ON” and “OFF” transitions are preferably rounded-off. Secondly, yet another, second, AC feedback network is added between the Output Stage of the Power Output Circuit and the Error-Detector/Voltage Divider Stage of the Frequency-On-Demand type voltage regulator. This second feedback network provides (1) a controlled “OFF”-period synchronized with the Output Stage signal; (2) protection against loss of a reference voltage; (3) a dead band” associated with the “ON” and “OFF” periods that confers exceptional tolerance to system electrical noise; and (4) a voltage compensation feature with “flat”, “drooping” or “rising” system voltage output characteristic versus system loading.10-01-2009
