Title: Hydrostatic continuously variable transmission
Inventor: NAKANO KENICHI
IPC: F16H61/66
Filed: 2008-03-25
Abstract: To enable mechanically stopping a malfunction of a lock-up mechanism. A  hydrostatic continuously variable transmission is configured by connecting a swash plate type plunger hydraulic pump P and a swash plate type plunger hydraulic motor M via a hydraulic dosed circuit, an inclined angle of a swash plate of the hydraulic motor is variably controlled, and continuous shift control is executed. There is provided a lock-up mechanism that closes the hydraulic closed circuit so as to make lockup executed when the quantity of oil that flows from the hydraulic pump into the hydraulic motor decreases according to variable control over the inclined angle of the swash plate and the input rotation of the hydraulic pump and the output rotation of the hydraulic motor are substantially synchronous. The lock-up mechanism is operated when lockup control oil pressure is applied and closes the hydraulic closed circuit, however, a lockup control oil passage that supplies the lockup control oil pressure is provided with an opening opened and closed according to the inclination of the swash plate and the opening is closed when the inclined angle of the swash plate is in the vicinity of an angle in a upright condition.

Title: Hydraulic isolating manifold
Inventor: NATILI RICHARD P JR
IPC: F16K43/00
Filed: 2008-08-11
Abstract: An isolating manifold fluidly connected between a hydraulic valve and a hydraulic manifold operates to automatically isolate the valve from the hydraulic manifold as the valve is removed from the manifold, without requiring any particular blocking and bleeding procedures to be implemented on the valve or the manifold prior to the removal process. The isolating manifold includes an adaptor removably mounted onto a base with various pressure, control and tank fluid channels disposed in alignment through the adaptor and base portions to allow fluid to flow through each of the channels between the hydraulic manifold and the valve. During operation, the valve is mounted onto the adaptor while the base is mounted onto the hydraulic manifold. The valve may be removed from the hydraulic manifold by removing the adaptor from the base, during which process, the isolating manifold operates automatically to block the pressure and control ports of the hydraulic manifold and to bleed pressurized fluid from the pressure and control channels of the valve to a tank channel so as to automatically isolate the valve from the hydraulic manifold as the valve is removed from the hydraulic manifold.

Inventor: STAVNE AARON
IPC: C02F11/04
Filed: 2008-10-17
Abstract: A process for the manufacture of biogas and a solids fraction from an organic waste feedstock is provided. The process involves thermal hydrolysis of the organic waste feedstock at a temperature from 100 to 220°C, a pressure from 5 to 20 bars, for a period of time from 15 minutes to 4 hours, to produce a hydrolysate. The hydrolysate is combined with an external balancing feedstock materials to produce a blended hydrolysate. The blended hydrolysate undergoes anaerobic digestion to produce a biogas stream and a digestate. The digestate is separated into a solids fraction and a liquid fraction, and a portion of the solids fraction is recycled for further anaerobic digestion.  The biogas stream, characterized as having a methane content from between 55 to 75%  by weight, and the solids fraction, are recovered.

Filed: 2007-07-20
Abstract: La production efficace d'éthanol à partir de biomasse de faible coût (par ex., maïs, betteraves sucrières, canne à sucre, panic raide et/ou papier) a pris une importance croissante dans le fait de rendre l'éthanol compétitif par rapport à l'essence et de diminuer la dépendance des Etats-Unis d'Amérique vis-à-vis du pétrole étranger. Par exemple, afin de réduire le coût de transport de biomasse vers des installations de production d'éthanol, on utilise des systèmes mobiles de production d'éthanol à partir de biomasse. L'invention concerne également des installations de production d'éthanol de petite échelle. Par exemple, au lieu de transporter la biomasse jusqu'à l'installation de production, l'installation est transportée jusqu'à la biomasse ou est située près de la source de la biomasse. Les installations de production d'éthanol ou de composants de ce dernier peuvent être transportées par terre, par eau et par air. La production d'autres produits, tels que des hydrocarbures, du gaz naturel, de l'hydrogène gazeux, du plastique, des polymères et des protéines peut également être obtenue à l'aide des procédés et des installations de l'invention. N'importe quel produit décrit dans l'invention peut être obtenu sous forme finie ou sous forme non finie et déplacé, par ex., jusqu'à une installation fixe, par ex., une installation de production fixe.

Title: Method and apparatus for pest bait application
Inventor: ENGLOT NORMAN
IPC: A01M23/00
Filed: 2009-06-29
Abstract: An apparatus for applying bait to pest traps and a method of using the apparatus is provided. The apparatus has an elongate body having an interior cavity in communication with an opening at a first end of the body, a flowable pest bait pre-packaged and contained within the cavity, and a nozzle attached to the opening. The method comprises the steps of extruding a flowable bait on a bait pedal of a rodent trap by aiming the nozzle over a bait pedal of the rodent trap such that the user's hands remain out of reach of a spring-loaded bow of the rodent trap. By applying pressure to the flowable bait through the use of a plunger or the like, the flowable bait is forced through the nozzle and is expelled out the nozzle. The user can then discard the apparatus.
