Bullinger

Charles W. Bullinger, Bismarck, ND US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080201980Apparatus and method of enhancing the quality of high-moisture materials and separating and concentrating organic and/or non-organic material contained therein - The present invention harvests and utilizes fluidized bed drying technology and waste heat streams augmented by other available heat sources to dry feedstock or fuel. This method is useful in many industries, including coal-fired power plants. Coal is dried using the present invention before it goes to coal pulverizers and on to the furnace/boiler arrangement to improve boiler efficiency and reduce emissions. This is all completed in a low-temperature, open-air system. Also included is an apparatus for segregating particulate by density and/or size including a fluidizing bed having a particulate receiving inlet for receiving particulate to be fluidized. This is useful for segregating contaminants like sulfur and mercury from the product stream.08-28-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080238075Method and Device for Control of a Reversible Belt Tensioner - In a method for controlling a reversible seatbelt pretensioner of a vehicle, characteristic variables of the accelerator pedal and brake are acquired and monitored with respect to a reaction of the driver to a critical situation in the form of release of the accelerator pedal and subsequent actuation of the brake. When a reaction of a driver to a critical situation is identified, the seatbelt pretensioner is activated.10-02-2008
