Title: Process for conversion of organic, waste, or low-value materials into useful products
Inventor: FREISS JAMES H
IPC: C07C4/00
Filed: 2005-09-22
Abstract: The present invention addresses the processing of waste and low-value products to produce useful materials in reliable purities and compositions, at acceptable cost, and with high energy efficiency. In particular, the invention comprises a multi-stage process that converts various feedstocks (100) such as offal, animal manures, municipal sewage sludge, that otherwise have little commercial value, to useful materials including gas (146), oil (144), specialty chemicals (143), and carbon solids (142). The process subjects the feedstock (100) to heat and pressure in a reducing environment accomplished by controlled addition of sulfur and sodium, separates out (130) various components, then further applies heat and pressure to one or more of those components. The invention further comprises an apparatus for performing a multi-stage process of converting waste products into useful materials, and at least one oil product that arises from the process.

Abstract: In order to symmetrically act on a support member (20) of a support assembly on both sides using a single Bowden cable (18), a traction cable arrangement is used with comprises the Bowden cable, a first traction wire (17), and a coupling device (16) for coupling the first traction wire (17) to the Bowden cable (18). The first traction wire (17) is fixedly attached to the coupling device (16) and extends therefrom in a first direction. The sheath of the Bowden cable (18) is fixedly attached to the coupling device (16), and the wire of the Bowden cable (18) extends from the coupling device (16) in a second direction substantially opposite to the first direction and forms a second traction wire (19). The first traction wire (17) and the second traction wire (19) are slidably held on the support member (20) and are connected to a seat frame (30) at their ends. When the wire of the Bowden cable (18) is retraced with respect to the sheath, the second traction wire (19) is shortened, the coupling device (16) is displaced in the extending direction of the second traction wire (19), whereby a tensile force is also generated in the first traction wire (17). Consequently, the first traction wire (17) and the second traction wire (19) symmetrically act on the support member (20) on both sides thereof.

Inventor: ZENG NEILSON
IPC: A47J27/00

Abstract: Indentation patterns in microwave packaging materials can enhance the baking and browning effects of the microwave packaging materials on food. The indentation patterns can provide venting to either channel moisture from one area of the food product to another, trap moisture in a certain area to prevent it from escaping, or channel the moisture completely away from the food product. The indentation patterns can cause the microwave packaging material underneath a food product to be slightly elevated above the cooking platform in the base of a microwave. The indentation patterns can lessen the heat sinking effect of the cooking platform by providing an air gap for insulation. Elevating the base of the microwave packaging material further allows more incident microwave radiation to propagate underneath the microwave packaging material to be absorbed by the food product or by microwave interactive materials in the microwave packaging material that augment the heating process.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a temperature for an engine by controlling a flow of a liquid engine coolant through a coolant conduit, the apparatus including a thermostat having a temperature responsive valve for substantially blocking and substantially unblocking the flow of the liquid coolant to a radiator. The valve opens as the temperature of the liquid coolant rises and a spring urges the valve to a closed position as the temperature of the fluid falls. An electromechanical actuator is provided outside of the conduit and is controlled by an engine control system in response to engine conditions. It is connected to the valve by a connector assembly extending between the electromechanical actuator and the valve through the coolant conduit, the connector assembly being positioned relative to the valve to cause the spring to be compressed as the electromechanical actuator opens the valve so that the valve is opened and closed in response to a coolant temperature by said thermostat and positioned within a range of travel by said electromechanical actuator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for releasing a block on a bore-crown (1) during a boring process, especially percussion boring or rotary percussion boring, for boring holes in the ground or rock, whereby a borehole is formed by a bore-crown (1) mounted on a boring rod (2) and connected thereto and acted upon by the boring rod to generate a rotational movement and optionally a percussive movement. According to the invention, when the bore-crown (1) is blocked, preventing the continuation of the boring process and especially another rotational movement of the bore-crown (1), the bore-crown (1) is subjected to a linear movement in the opposite direction to the boring direction by means of the boring rod (2), and to a rotational movement in a direction opposing the direction of the rotational displacement during the boring process by means of a corresponding connection (7, 9) between the end of the boring rod (2) facing the bore-crown (1), and the bore-crown (1), independently of a rotary drive for carrying out the boring process. As a result the borehole can be bored in a simple manner after releasing the block on the bore-crown (1).

Abstract: A door lock is provided with a biometric sensor and a key cylinder. The biometric sensor is protected by being positioned on a shield, and such that the sensor is not exposed to damage by being on the front face of the door lock. The shield extends vertically downwardly from the remainder of the front face of the door lock, and the sensor is mounted to an inner face of the shield. Thus, the sensor is spaced away from a door when the door lock is mounted on a door. A finger may be inserted into a space between the sensor and the door, and the sensor can then capture information about the fingerprint. This information can be compared to expected fingerprints, and entry into a building can be granted based upon a recognition of this fingerprint.
