20110181006TRAILER CONVERTIBLE TO A SLED - A trailer convertible to a sled uses a drop axle, which is mounted for rotation. The drop axle has a sled mode and a trailer mode. Upon rotation of a primary shaft of the drop axle in a first direction, ski supports lower skis into the sled mode and secondary shafts supporting wheels are raised. Upon rotation of the primary shaft of the drop axle in a second direction, the ski supports raise the skis and the secondary shaft supporting wheels are lowered to the trailer mode. A lock is provided for locking the drop axle in a selected one of the sled mode or the trailer mode.07-28-2011

20110174731Submerged Attached Growth Reactor - Described herein is a Submerged Attached Growth Reactor (SAGR) which provides nitrification (ammonia removal) from wastewater in cold to moderate climates. The system described herein is novel in that the SAGR reactor includes more than one influent distribution point. Specifically, in addition to the first influent distribution point at the front end of the reactor, there is provided at least one additional distribution point(s) downstream of this first distribution point for introduction of influent into the reactor. As a result of this arrangement, when a second low carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD), high nitrogen influent is distributed into the reactor at a location downstream of the initial influent entry point, a second (or more) population of bacteria (mainly nitrifying bacteria) is established and/or maintained in a physically discrete part of the overall treatment reactor. This second (or more) population at a discrete location within the reactor is useful in the removal of ammonia from high CBOD influent when the reactor is exposed to low temperatures.07-21-2011
20110285037Aeration Diffuser - A diffuser for oxygenation of aqueous media comprises a manifold connectable to a source of pressurized oxygen-containing gas and having a plurality of outlet ports communicating a hollow interior of the manifold with an exterior thereof. A plurality of flexible microporous tubular membranes each have a coupled end secured to the manifold at a respective one of the outlet ports thereof to communicate an internal passage of the tubular membrane with the hollow interior of the manifold. An elongated rod extends along each tubular membrane within the internal passage thereof to maintain a length of the tubular membrane in an orientation projecting outward from the manifold with the free end of the tubular membrane further outward from the manifold than any other portion of the tubular membrane. The rods prevent curling of the tubular membranes over time when the diffuser is submerged in a liquid medium for use11-24-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100272540Connecting Element and Connecting Arrangement - The invention relates to a connecting element for the mechanical connection of at least two components, in particular two components of a motor vehicle door, with a bearing collar for bearing against a first component, with a crossbar that has bearing flanks for bearing against a second component and for clamping the latter against the first component in a rotated final assembly position, and with a shaft section, which bears the crossbar, for rotatably passing through corresponding openings in the components. In this case, a means is provided for fastening to the first component in a defined preassembly position. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding connecting arrangement comprising at least two components each having an aperture, and a connecting element of this type, with the connecting element being held on the first component in a preassembly position.10-28-2010

20100001182Tandem differential mobility ion mobility spectrometer for chemical vapor detection - A DMS-IMS chemical sensing system employs two ion-separation technologies in tandem to extract signals of specific chemicals from the glut of signals present. The sensing system generally includes an atmospheric pressure ion generation system, a Differential Mobility (DMS) system, a time-of-flight IMS (TOF-IMS) system, and an ion detector system. The DMS extracts a narrow range of trace chemicals from an environmental sample for subsequent analysis, and a TOF-IMS then analyzes the resulting narrow range of isolated chemicals, allowing compound-specific detection thresholds at sub-ppb concentrations.01-07-2010
