Title: Método y dispositivo para la producción de micro- y nano-burbujas monodispersas
Inventor: GANAN CALVO ALFONSO M
IPC: B01J13/02
Filed: 2013-05-10
Granted: 2015-04-27
Abstract: El objeto de esta invención es un método y dispositivos para producir microburbujas de tamaño pequeño y uniforme, utilizando una combinación de geometrías y tratamientos superficiales hidrófilos e hidrófobos, para crear las condiciones de fijación parcial de una corriente de gas a una pequeña zona que sirve de punto fijo de nucleación o formación de las burbujas, siendo dichas burbujas arrastradas por la corriente de líquido en la que se forman. En particular, se puede utilizar un hilo o alambre metálico que sobresale del interior del tubo de alimentación del gas en la sección de descarga, habiendo recibido un tratamiento hidrófobo la superficie de dicho alambre. Dado que se pueden utilizar fibras o hilos metálicos, cerámicos, poliméricos, etc. tan delgados como uno desee, el tamaño de las burbujas producidas puede llegar a tamaños por debajo de la micra sin necesidad de utilizar surfactantes, incluso en metales líquidos. Alternativamente, se puede definir una superficie alargada y muy estrecha del canal de descarga, siendo dicha superficie contigua a la sección de descarga y en la dirección del flujo, como superficie hidrófoba sobre la que discurrirá una vena continua de gas, al final de la cual se formarán las microburbujas. Esta invención tiene una amplia variedad de aplicaciones en tecnologías de alimentación, farmacia, biomedicina, diagnosis, ingeniería química, medio ambiente, etc.

Title: Flexible polyurethane foam
Inventor: KURT SCHOENENBERGER
IPC: C08G18/50
Filed: 2005-05-12
Granted: 2011-07-07
Abstract: Flexible polyurethane foam is made by mixing prepolymer with foam-forming ingredients comprising isocyanate and water which react to give carbon dioxide. The prepolymer is hydroxyl-tipped, being made by reacting polyol with less than the theoretical proportion of isocyanate required to react with available hydroxyl groups of the polyol. The prepolymer is a new storage stable starting material for use in making flexible polyurethane foam, and the foam produced with the prepolymer has advantageous properties with regard to hydrolysis resistance. The prepolymer may be made with low or high viscosity by appropriate selection of the proportion of isocyanate which reacts with the polyol. At high viscosities cell structure can be advantageously controlled by appropriate gasification or degasification during foaming.

Title: Spreading unit for bonding machines, with adhesive recirculation systems
Inventor: CERCIELLO ANTONIO
IPC: B05C1/08
Filed: 2006-04-04
Granted: 2010-09-09
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved spreading unit for bonding machines which is equipped with recirculation systems that take up adhesive from the base of the reservoir in contact with the take-up roller and return it to the storage tank, from which it is sent back to the reservoir; this continuous circulation of the product guarantees that the product will maintain the ideal temperature and viscosity characteristics.  In accordance with an advantageous aspect of the invention, the reservoir containing the adhesive taken up by the rollers is bounded by a pair of doctor blades which define an enclosed area in contact with the roller and are mounted on a sliding support, so that they can be moved away from the roller for cleaning, maintenance and similar operations.  The reservoir is positioned at a height calculated so that adhesive is transferred to the reservoir by a calibrated gravity system, without being engaged by mechanical devices, and consequently without producing foam.  This guarantees continuous recirculation of adhesive without the risk of stagnation which could cause a variation in the characteristics of the compound, and above all without foam production.  Moreover, in accordance with another advantageous aspect of the invention, the reservoir is mounted on a skid that slides along guides integral with the structure of the machine, so that it can be rapidly distanced from the rollers when required for maintenance or cleaning operations.
