US Classification:

427/100000, 427/430100, 427/376100, 427/376200, 505/470000, 118/688000

Abstract:

An automated system for dip coating a superconducting material on a substrate is disclosed. The system includes an actuator, a pick up station, a dip coating station that comprises a reservoir of a dip coating formulation, a drying station that includes a source of heated air and a conveyor for moving the actuator from the pick up station to the dip coating station and from the dip coating station to the drying station. The actuator includes an arm for carrying a substrate. The arm is capable of being moved vertically downward to submerse the substrate in the dip coating reservoir and the arm is also capable of being moved vertically upward to lift the substrate out of the dip coating reservoir. A method for automatically dip coating a substrate with a superconducting material is also disclosed. The method includes the steps of picking up a substrate at a pick up station, conveying the substrate to a dip coating station that includes a reservoir of a dip coating formulation, submersing the substrate in the reservoir of dip coating formulation to form a coating thereon, removing the substrate from the reservoir, conveying the substrate to a drying station that includes a source of heated air, drying the coating of the substrate in the drying station, conveying the substrate from the drying station to a heat processing station and heat processing the substrate.

International Classification:

B01D 29/00
B01D 37/00

US Classification:

210767, 2104161

Abstract:

A greywater treatment and reuse system includes a collector for collecting greywater, a distributor for distributing treated greywater for reuse, and a treatment and storage device for treating collected greywater and for storing treated greywater before the greywater is sent to the distributor for reuse. The treatment and storage device is fluidly connected to the collector by a delivery line and is fluidly connected to the distributor by a distribution line. The treatment and storage device includes a first filter that is fluidly connected to a second filter by a connection line and a chlorinator fluidly connected to the delivery line, the chlorinator injecting a first dose of chlorine into the delivery line.

Assignee:

Ashland Products, Inc. - Chicago IL

International Classification:

E05D 1522

US Classification:

49181

Abstract:

A pivot corner adapted for operative engagement with a sash balance brake assembly of a pivotable sash window is disclosed. The pivot corner comprises a housing having an axial bore and a pivot pin. The pivot pin has a first portion disposed within the bore and a second portion extending outwardly therefrom and adapted for operative engagement with the brake assembly. The axial bore and the first pin portion are complementarily octagonal in cross-section. The first pin portion has a cross-section sufficiently smaller than the cross-section of the axial bore to permit non-destructive rotation of the pin relative to the housing upon application of a predetermined torque.

US Classification:

427221

Abstract:

A process for preparing a proppant charge comprising individual sand particles coated with a pre-cured thermosettable resin. Sand is mixed with melted resin, and the resin-coated sand is heated under conditions which cure the resin. Mixing is carried out with sufficient mechanical shearing action to limit agglomeration of the resin-coated sand particles.

International Classification:

A61L 208

US Classification:

422 22

Abstract:

Infectious medical materials are rendered harmless by heating heterogeneous medical materials having wet and dry portions with a radio-frequency electric field. The medical materials may be comminuted prior to heating. The medical materials are exposed to the radio-frequency electric field in order to heat the medical materials. The medical materials may include sorted medical or veterinary waste which after heat treatment may be recycled.
