Title: Systems and methods for converting organic waste materials into useful products
Inventor: CHOATE CHRIS E
IPC: C05F9/00
Filed: 2007-06-26
Granted: 2010-05-25
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for converting organic waste materials from a municipal waste stream to useful products. Organic waste materials having a wide range of compositions such as, for example, yard waste, food waste, paper, and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste are converted into a uniform biomass that is suitable for conversion to useful products, such as fuels. Through the use of a biomixer and a hydropulper, as well as through sorting and screening, the organic waste materials are progressively reduced in size and cleaned of contamination. The resulting uniform biomass is suitable for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas and a residual solid that is suitable for producing a high quality compost.

Title: Jointed rockshaft with angularly adjustable segments
Inventor: HOEHN KEVIN WILLIAM
IPC: A01B73/04
Filed: 2005-09-14
Granted: 2012-07-10
Abstract: A flexible rockshaft includes joint structure (40, 140) facilitating the adjustment of the rotational angle of rockshaft segments (20a, 20b, 20c) relative to each other. A link (42, 142) inserted between a rockshaft segment (20a, 20b, 20c) and the joint structure (40, 140) rotates on the same or a parallel pivot (56, 156) as adjacent rockshaft segment (20a, 20b, 20c), and an adjustable length connecting mechanism (72, 172) on the link provides angular adjustment. In one embodiment, shims (102, 104) supported on the link (42, 142) are selectively clamped between a threaded stop and an internally threaded link. The number of shims (102, 104) may be easily varied to change the angular position of one rockshaft segment (20a, 20b, 20c) relative to the adjacent segment (20a, 20b, 20c). In another embodiment, a simpler threaded member (173) with positioning nuts (182, 184, 186) is located on the additional link (142) and provides inexpensive angular adjustability.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that enables the transmission of a digital message along with a corresponding information signal, such as audio or video. The supplemental information contained in digital messages can be used for a variety of purposes, such as enabling or enhancing packet authentication. In particular, a telecommunications device that is processing an information signal from its user, such as a speech signal, encrypts the information signal by performing a bitwise exclusive-or of an encryption key stream with the information signal stream. The device, such as a telecommunications endpoint, then intersperses the bits of the digital message throughout the encrypted signal in place of those bits overwritten, in a process referred to as "watermarking." The endpoint then transmits the interspersed digital message bits as part of a composite signal that also comprises the encrypted information bits. No additional bits are appended to the packet to be transmitted, thereby addressing compatibility issues.

Abstract: The object is to produce a pulp without employing sodium sulfide or high temperature/high pressure conditions and with higher yield compared to a Kraft method and to collect lignin. A pulp is produced by hydrophilizing a wood chip with a dilute aqueous solution of caustic soda at ambient temperature, partially oxidizing lignin contained in the solution selectively in dilute nitric acid to modify lignin, and subjecting the resulting solution to cooking with a dilute aqueous solution of caustic soda at atmospheric pressure. Lignin is caused to aggregate in a black liquor which is separated during the process for producing the pulp, and then collected.
