Appl. No.:

17/964207

Inventors:

- St. Paul MN, US
Erik M. Anderson - Hugo MN, US
Kevin W. Weber - Roseville MN, US

International Classification:

A47G 1/17
A47G 25/32
A47G 29/087

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides adhesive mounting articles that can be removed from surfaces without damage by having reduced contribution of a hardgood to the peel force generated by the adhesive article during removal. In some instances, this can be accomplished by a hardgood that is flexible in a peel direction and rigid in a weight hanging direction. Such hardgoods may include a plurality of minimally connected body segments arranged about the transverse axis of the hardgood body.

International Classification:

B01D 35/153
B01D 27/08
B01D 35/30

Abstract:

A filter cartridge with flow travelling from inside to outside with a flow path in a bottom end cap to enter the cartridge has an anti-drain back valve to prevent cross-contamination to the clean side of the system during filter change-out. The anti-drain back valve moves away from the bottom end cap to allow inlet flow into the cartridge during filtering operation, and when flow ceases, the valve settles to the bottom of the cartridge to plug the flow path during service.

- Spring TX, US
Morgan Schramm - Vancouver WA, US
Erik A Anderson - Vancouver WA, US

International Classification:

H04N 1/60

Abstract:

Target color table generated from source color tables. A first significance factor is assigned to a first node in a first source color table. The first node in the first source color table corresponds with a color input in a first color space and provides a first print substance formulation in a second color space. A second significance factor is assigned to a second node in a second source color table. The second node in the second source color table corresponds with the color input in the first color space and provides a second print substance formulation in the second color space. A third node in target color table is generated from the first and second nodes based on the first and second significance factors. The third node corresponds with the color input in the first color space and provides a third print substance formulation in the second color space.

Erik Richard Anderson - Lakeville MN, US

International Classification:

F27D 9/00
H01L 21/67
H01L 31/18
F27B 9/14
F27D 11/00

Abstract:

One embodiment is directed to an apparatus comprising a firing furnace comprising a heating chamber configured to fire a metallization layer of photovoltaic devices and a cooling chamber configured to cool the photovoltaic devices that have been heated by the heating chamber. The cooling chamber comprises lights to light anneal the photovoltaic devices to reduce light induced degradation as the photovoltaic devices are cooled in the cooling chamber. The cooling chamber of the firing furnace is configured to use residual heat from heating performed in the heating chamber of the firing furnace as heat for the light annealing of the photovoltaic devices. Light annealing is not performed in the heating chamber of the firing furnace.

C10L 1/02
C10B 55/00
C10B 41/00

Abstract:

A distillation apparatus for use in microwave-assisted pyrolysis includes a microwave, a pyrolysis reactor, a microwave-absorbent bed, and a condenser. The pyrolysis reactor is located within the microwave and configured to receive a liquid input stream and to output a vapor. The microwave-absorbent bed is located within the pyrolysis reactor that converts microwave energy provided by the microwave to thermal energy to initiate pyrolysis within the pyrolysis reactor, wherein the pyrolysis reactor provides a vapor output. The condenser is configured to receive the vapor output of the pyrolysis reactor and to cool and condense the vapor into a recoverable product.
