20100186770SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED DEWATERING PERFORMANCE IN A PAPERMAKING MACHINE - A doctoring system is disclosed for cleaning a moving surface in a papermaking machine, and the doctoring system includes a doctor blade and fluid assist system. The doctor blade is coupled to a doctor blade holder, and the doctor blade holder is coupled to a doctor-back. The fluid assist system is for providing a fluid under positive pressure that is higher than atmospheric pressure. The fluid is directed in a direction generally opposite a direction of movement of the moving surface such that fluid of high momentum is provided to impinge on water resident within the moving surface and adjacent a leading edge of the doctor blade during movement of the moving surface.07-29-2010
20100200187SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED DEWATERING PERFORMANCE IN A PAPERMAKING MACHINE - A doctoring system is disclosed for a papermaking machine wherein the doctoring system includes a doctor blade and a fluid assist means. The doctor blade is coupled to a doctor blade holder, and is for cleaning a moving surface. The doctor blade holder is coupled to a doctor-back. The fluid assist means is for providing a fluid under positive pressure that is higher than atmospheric pressure and is directed in a direction generally along a direction of movement of the moving surface such that a negative pressure that is lower than atmospheric pressure develops in a negative pressure zone adjacent the moving surface and a following surface of the doctor blade during movement of the moving surface.08-12-2010
20100218909Systems and Methods for Cleaning and Conditioning a Moving Surface Using Cleaning Apparatus with Plate Elements for Mounting to Doctor Blade Holders - A cleaning apparatus is disclosed for processing a moving surface. The cleaning apparatus includes at least one pad that is coupled to a support shoe. The support shoe is attached to a first end of a plate element, and the plate element includes a second end that is adapted to be received by a doctor blade holder.09-02-2010

20080230376Combination of a Desalination Plant and a Salinity Gradient Power Reverse Electrodialysis Plant and Use Thereof - A desalination plant, includes a sea water intake, a desalination unit having a reverse osmosis or a thermal desalination unit, a fresh water outlet and a brine outlet. The plant also includes a salinity gradient power unit having a brine inlet, a seawater inlet and a mixed water outlet. The brine outlet is connected to the brine inlet and the salinity gradient power unit is arranged to generate an electrical current. A solar power heater is between the brine outlet and the brine inlet. A method for reducing the power consumption of a desalination plant providing fresh water and brine from sea water, includes a first step of providing a salinity gradient power unit, a next step of feeding the salinity gradient power unit with brine from the desalination plant as high salinity feed and sea water as low salinity feed. A subsequent step heats the brine with solar power prior to feeding the brine to the salinity gradient power unit, followed by the steps of generating an electrical current in the salinity gradient power unit and using the electrical current as an energy source for the desalination plant.09-25-2008

20100181114METHOD OF INTERCONNECTING SUBTERRANEAN BOREHOLES - A method is disclosed of connecting a first borehole to a second borehole, the boreholes being formed in an earth formation and extending at a mutual distance. The method comprises inserting a volume of hardenable fluidic material into a space in the earth formation extending between the first and second boreholes, and allowing the hardenable fluidic material to harden so as to form a body of hardened material between the first and second boreholes. At least one fluid channel is created in the body of hardened material, each fluid channel providing fluid communication between the first borehole and the second borehole.07-22-2010
