US Patent:

59959436, Nov 30, 1999

Filed:

Jan 23, 1997

Appl. No.:

8/788899

Inventors:

David Stanley Bull - Irving TX
Robert Neal Carr - Watauga TX
Joseph Robert Offutt - Grapevine TX

Assignee:

Sabre Inc. - Fort Worth TX

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

705 14

Abstract:

An information aggregation and synthesization system and process. The present invention provides aggregation and packaging of structured or unstructured information from disparate sources such as those available on a network such as the Internet. A network compatible/addressable interface device is operated by a user. The network interface device communicates with local datastores or network accessible datastores via an addressing scheme such as Uniform Resource Locator addresses (URLs) utilized by the Internet. Data passing between the network interface device and the datastores is accessed, polled, and retrieved through an intermediary gateway system. Such aggregated information is then synthesized, customized, personalized and localized to meet the information resource requests specified by the user via the network interface device.

Appl. No.:

16/933615

Inventors:

Robert Bret Carr - Durham NC, US
Jing Liu - Somerville MA, US

International Classification:

B04B 1/06
B04B 1/16
B04B 9/12
B04B 11/05
B04B 5/04

Abstract:

A centrifugal separator includes disposable cartridge having a cylindrical bowl, a core tube assembly, and an annular piston disposed around the core tube assembly and inside the inner surface of the bowl. The disposable cartridge may be automatically loaded and withdrawn from the separator. Feed liquid is injected down the core tube assembly into the lower portion of the bowl, raising the annular piston, while the bowl rotates at high speed, separating solids from the feed liquid to accumulate along the inner surface of the bowl, while collecting clarified centrate as it exits the top of the bowl and through the core tube assembly. In a solids discharge mode, the annular piston is urged downward along a vertical axis to force accumulated solids from the bowl.

Abstract:

A centrifugal separator includes a cylindrical bowl, a core tube assembly, and an annular piston disposed around the core tube assembly and inside the inner surface of the bowl. Feed liquid is injected down the core tube assembly into the lower portion of the bowl, raising the annular piston. During a separation mode, the bowl rotates at high speed, separating solids from the feed liquid to accumulate along the inner surface of the bowl, while collecting clarified centrate as it exits the top of the bowl and through the core tube assembly. Following solids accumulation, bowl rotation is stopped and residual liquid is pumped from the bowl. In a solids discharge mode, the annular piston is urged downward along a vertical axis in response to compressed gas. The downward movement of the piston forces accumulated solids from the bowl via an opening in the lower end thereof.
