| 20110278177 | METHOD OF OPERATING A DIAPHRAGM ELECTROLYTIC CELL - Described is a method for improving the operation of an electrolytic cell having an anolyte compartment, a catholyte compartment and a synthetic diaphragm separating the compartments, wherein liquid anolyte is introduced into the anolyte compartment and flows through the diaphragm into the catholyte compartment, which method involves introducing particulate material comprising halocarbon polymer short fiber, e.g., fluorocarbon polymer short fiber, into the anolyte compartment in amounts sufficient to lower the flow of liquid anolyte through the diaphragm into the catholyte compartment. In the case of an electrolytic cell wherein aqueous alkali metal chloride, e.g., sodium chloride, anolyte is introduced continuously into the anolyte compartment, thereby to produce a catholyte liquor containing alkali metal hydroxide and hypochlorite ion, the foregoing method is useful for decreasing the concentration of hypochlorite ion in the catholyte liquor and oftentimes increasing the concentration of alkali metal hydroxide in the catholyte liquor. Also describes adding at least one member chosen from halocarbon polymer microfibril, halocarbon polymer fiber, clay mineral, oxides and/or hydroxides of alkaline earth metals, and zirconium oxide/hydroxide in conjunction with the halocarbon polymer short fiber to the anolyte compartment, e.g., while the cell is operating. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20100236079 | High pressure, hydraulic hand tool for cutting hooves on horses or other applications - A fully structurally integrated high pressure, hydraulic hand-held tool for cutting dense materials, including the hooves on horses. The tool includes a handle, with a hydraulic flow line provided centrally there through, a handle chamber integrated into the upper end of the handle, the handle chamber comprising a piston, so that hydraulic fluid as exerted into the handle chamber, forces said piston upwardly and out of the handle chamber into the piston housing at the end of the piston distal to the handle chamber, and wherein at the upper end of the tool in the piston housing are a pair of mounts, said pair of mounts pivotally connect to a pair of opposing jaws, with each jaw having a cutting blade applied thereto, and wherein links and a clevis secure to the upper end of the piston, and pivotally connect to the outer back edges of the jaws, such that applying hydraulic pressure from about 3000 psi to about 6000 psi to the lower end of the piston chamber, the piston is urged upwardly and out of the handle chamber, upon actuation of the tool, and the jaw cutting blades and their edges are forced to pivot inwardly toward each other, thereby being positioned into a cutting action, and wherein the hydraulic pressure is released, the piston is forced by spring biasing downwardly within the piston housing and back into the handle chamber, and wherein said movement of said piston back into the handle chamber causes the jaws to reverse and separate from each other and to become positioned into their original pre-cut position. | 09-23-2010 |
