Abstract:
The zero-backflow vent assembly () of the present invention prevents backflow into the magnet cryogen vessel () and therefore eliminates magnet icing. In general, the present invention employs a spring loaded valve in the magnet vent turret () to prevent the influx of air after a magnet quench event. The magnet vent turret () is the interface between the liquid helium vessel () in the magnet and the atmosphere (). A vent stack is employed to channel any cryogenic exhaust gas out of the room, normally to the outside atmosphere ().
Container And Load Basket For Thermal Management For Processing In High Pressure Application
A container or load basket (, ) constructed for addressing thermal stratification of a product in the container/load basket and addressing thermal stratification of the processing medium during high pressure processing with a pressurized processing medium. The container includes an upper section (, ) forming a volume for receiving the product to be processed and a truncated lower section forming the bottom of the container. The bottom of the container is defined by a floor or partition (, ) extending across the lower portion of the container.The floor or partition can be constructed from the same material from which the upper section of the container is formed or a material that is more adiabatically active than the material from which the upper section of the container is formed.

Abstract:
A basket for high pressure processing includes a body having first and second ends and a sidewall extending therebetween. The body defines an interior space and the first end includes a first opening for providing access to the interior space. The basket includes a first end cap removably attachable to the body at the first end for at least partially covering the first opening by positioning the first end cap adjacent the first opening and rotating the first end cap in place.
Parts of Japan are especially susceptible to flooding after heavy rainfall because of their hilly terrain, said Limin Zhang, a flooding specialist at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
