| 20100330856 | PAPERMAKING FABRICS WITH CONTAMINANT RESISTANT NANOPARTICLE COATING AND METHOD OF IN SITU APPLICATION - A papermaking fabric is treated by applying a nanoparticle type coating to improve their resistance to contamination by foreign matter in the papermaking system. The coating is applied during fabric manufacture and cured during heat setting. Alternatively, the coating applied or renewed by utilizing an existing shower or locating a spray boom or other suitable coating application device in the dryer section to apply the coating to the fabric in a controlled, uniform manner. Prior to application of the coating, the fabric is first thoroughly cleaned such as by showering or spraying, and then dried. Following controlled application of the coating, any excess material is removed by a suitable means, such as by vacuum, and the remaining coating on the fabric is then cured, either by utilizing the ambient heat of the dryer section or by a portable bank of heaters. In this manner, the fabric does not have to be removed from the machine in order to apply or renew the contaminant resistant coating. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20120135184 | REINFORCED WARP LOOP BONDED SEAM FOR AN INDUSTRIAL TEXTILE - A seaming area for a woven industrial fabric, a fabric, and a method of providing a seaming area and seam. The fabric comprises at least a first set of warp yarns interwoven with weft yarns, either in a single layer, or multiple layers in which the warp yarns can optionally be stacked. At each seaming area, yarns of a first group pass around and in contact with the fabric edge, and yarns of a second group pass around the fabric edge to form protruding loops. Free ends of the warp yarns are bonded to the fabric body, over warp yarns or weft yarns, or combinations thereof. Opposing fabric ends are brought together, and the loops interdigitated to be joined by a pintle or coil to render the fabric endless. The seaming area and the method provide increased seam strength and reliability, with significant reduction of time and costs of manufacture. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20120126439 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING SULFUR SEEDS AND GRANULES - Sulfur (or sulphur) spray nozzles disposed with a cooling tank spray liquid molten sulfur into the cooling liquid in the tank. Solid sulfur seeds are formed in the cooling liquid and settle in the tank. The cooling tank may be a spiral dewaterer tank that has a screw conveyor at the bottom of the tank that moves the seeds to a granulating drum for enlargement into sulfur granules. The cooling tank may also be used to capture and remove sulfur dust from a slurry of sulfur dust and water recycled from the granulating drum. The sulfur dust in the cooling tank may be captured by contact with molten sulfur droplets streaming down the cooling liquid column such that the dust particles become incorporated into the droplet, thereby being converted to seed. The granulating drum may be equipped with two or more sets of segmented lifting flights. The sets of flights may not be in alignment. The flights may be spaced apart from the inside surface of the drum with segmented rib members. The rib members may allow for the movement of sulfur seeds and granules between the flights and the inside surface of the drum as the drum rotates. | 05-24-2012 |

| 20090242467 | System that removes contaminants from sulfur - A system for removing contaminant from sulfur to a level that allows re-processed sulfur to reenter a supply chain. The system melts contaminated sulfur, filters the molten sulfur, and then dispenses the less contaminated sulfur after filtering it. More specifically, solid contaminated sulfur enters a settling tank, while heated molten sulfur circulates through the system and the settling tank. The circulation of the molten sulfur assists in the melting process of the solid sulfur, allowing the solid sulfur to melt efficiently. In preferred embodiments of the system, the system uses steam jacked sulfur lines and steam tracing to maintain temperatures for melting the solid sulfur and maintaining the molten state of the sulfur circulating through the system. Furthermore, the system comprises a programmable logic controller, which controls motors, pumps, valves, and environment monitoring instruments. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20120268132 | Magnetic Resonance Signal Detection Using Remotely Positioned Receive Coils - The receive coil arrangement includes an inner local volume coil adjacent the part to be imaged so as to maximize the received MR signal and an outer coil, which may be the built in body coil of the magnet, connected by cable to the signal processing system. Both the coils are individually tuned to the common resonant frequency and the local volume coil include an arrangement to halt current flow therein during the transmit stage. The local volume coil has no cable and is arranged to communicate the MR signal therein to the signal processing system through the outer coil by inductive coupling to the outer coil. Despite inherent losses by interfering with the tuning of the loops and in the inductive coupling this magnifies the MR signal and makes the local volume coil wireless. | 10-25-2012 |
