US Patent:

8404121, Mar 26, 2013

Filed:

Aug 11, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/462878

Inventors:

Joel Bias - Southgate MI, US
Brian Ross - Lansing MI, US

Assignee:

Anaergia Inc. - Burlington, Ontario

International Classification:

C02F 1/24

US Classification:

210703, 210744, 210109, 210143, 2102211

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to a separation process. An aerated inlet mixture of fluid and solids is fed to a flotation separation vessel and is separated into an upper float layer and a lower clarified layer. The upper float layer is withdrawn from the vessel when the height of the upper float layer exceeds the height of an overflow conduit and forms a concentrated solids effluent. The lower clarified layer is withdrawn from the separation vessel as a clarified fluid effluent. The separation process is performed continuously using a control process that maintains a relatively stable distribution between the lower clarified layer and the upper float layer. The control process is a closed loop process that monitors the instantaneous height of the vessel contents and computes an error function based on the instantaneous height and a set-point height. The error function is used to periodically adjust the outlet flowrate of the clarified fluid effluent. The resulting process has improved stability (e. g.

Appl. No.:

09/734628

Inventors:

Arul Chinnaiyan - Canton MI, US
Alnawaz Rehemtulla - Plymouth MI, US
Brian Ross - Ann Arbor MI, US

International Classification:

A61K039/395
C07H021/04

US Classification:

424/178100, 435/325000, 536/023500

Abstract:

The invention provides compositions and methods for imaging cells and tissues in vivo and in situ. Compositions and methods are provided for administration to enhance the imaging of cells and tissues by, e.g., computer assisted tomography (CAT), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), or bioluminescence imaging (BLI). Thus, the invention provides compositions and methods for identifying sites of primary and metastatic tumors and tumor neovasculature.

The control process is a closed loop process that monitors the instantaneous height of the vessel contents and computes an error function based on the instantaneous height and a set-point height. The error function is used to periodically adjust the outlet flowrate of the clarified fluid effluent. The resulting process has improved stability (e.g., being continuously operable without interruption and/or operable for extended periods between intermittent cleaning processes) and provides a concentrated solids effluent with solids concentrations higher than those previously attainable in similar separation processes.

International Classification:

F16F 9/10

US Classification:

26714011

Abstract:

A switchable engine mount is provided. The switchable engine mount includes an end plate including one or more openings in fluidic communication with a hydraulic source and a channel plate coupled to the end plate and including one or more hydraulic flow openings. The switchable engine mount further includes a decoupler including at least one decoupler plate at least partially enclosed by the channel plate and the end plate and a switching plate positioned adjacent to the decoupler and configured to axially actuate the decoupler in response to reception of an input force from an actuator, the input force non-parallel to the axially actuation.
