Abstract: A powder spray booth (2) with a powder recovery system having an overspray intake (18) communicating with the interior of the booth. A vertically extending duct (20) leads from the overspray intake to a powder recovery system such as, for example, a cyclone. The vertically extending duct may have doors (32) opening to the interior of the booth to provide access to the vertical duct for cleaning.  The doors may have holes (120) to aspirate air from the booth interior to optimize air flow patterns within the booth. A diverter plate (26) within the booth (2) defines with the booth floor (10) a floor duct leading to the overspray intake (18). The diverter plate has apertures for alloying oversprayed powder to be collected through the plate. The diverter plate may be provided as two or mare diverter plates held at different elevation levels within the booth to define a floor duct which is larger in parts of the floor duct which are closer to the overspray intake than parts of the floor duct which are farther from the overspray intake. The coating system may include an air assist which provides jets of air across a portion of the interior surface of the booth. The surface may be one or more sloped portions (22) of the floor and/or one or more portions of the diverter plate. The air supply may be pulsed to produce periodic bursts of air across the interior surface. The booth walls are made of non-conductive resin based cored composite materials. Various non-conductive fastening devices and two component resin bonding materials may be used to form mechanical joints to assemble a spray booth.

IPC: G07D7/00
Filed: 2003-06-11
Abstract: A central control device (1) and an extended storage device (2) connected to the central control device (1) are arranged in a bank structure storage control device. When a bank memory (9) is read out by the central control device (1), the extended storage device (2) distinguishes the next bank address (0DF00h to 7DF07h) of the bank memory (9) contained in the bank memory (9) to be read out and temporarily stores it. When the next read out signal is generated by the central control device (1), the next bank address (0DF00h to 7DF07h) of the bank memory (9) to be specified is assigned to a storage control device (3) and the storage control device (3) can be switched to the next bank memory (9). Thus, it is possible to control an object connected to the central control device of the bank structure storage control device by taking information out of a storage device of a large capacity by a central control device of a small capacity.

Title: Systeme de sterilisation et de decontamination in situ utilisant une decharge plasma non thermique
Inventor: CROWE RICHARD
IPC: A61L9/22
Filed: 2002-11-04
Abstract: La présente invention concerne système de stérilisation et de décontamination dans lequel un dispositif de décharge plasma non thermique est disposé en amont de médias (par exemple, un filtre, un précipitateur électrostatique, un lit de carbone). Le dispositif de décharge plasma génère un plasma qui est émis à travers des ouvertures (par exemple, des capillaires ou des fentes) dans un diélectrique primaire. Une espèce stérilisante actives générée par le plasma, lors de son exposition à des contaminants ou une matière particulaire indésirable peut désactiver ou réduire une telle matière dans un flot de fluide contaminé et/ou sur des objets. Ainsi, les contaminants indésirables dans le fluide à traiter sont d'abord réduits lors de leur exposition aux espèces stérilisantes actives générées par le plasma dans la zone de du dispositif de décharge Par ailleurs, les espèces stérilisantes actives générées par le plasma sont transportées vers l'aval à des médias de suspension et lors de leur contact avec ceux-ci effectuent la désactivation des contaminants recueillis sur les médias eux-mêmes. De manière avantageuse, les média de suspension peuvent être nettoyés in situ. En vue d'accroître l'efficacité de stérilisation, un additif exempt de gaz vecteur (par exemple, l'alcool, l'eau, l'air sec) peut être injecté dans les ouvertures définies dans le diélectrique primaire. Ces additifs augmentent la concentration d'agents de stérilisation actifs générés par le plasma tout en réduisant le produit secondaire de polluants d'ozone indésirables générés. En aval du filtre, le flot de fluide peut être soumis à un traitement supplémentaire en étant exposé à un média catalyseur ou un média de suspension additionnel en vue de réduire davantage la quantité de matière particulaire indésirable.

Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate information sharing among a plurality of member institutions. Each member is associated with a member number and a corresponding member profile. A member contributes its data relating to small business entities to an exchange repository upon becoming a member, and thereafter on a periodic basis. Each member is eligible to query against the exchange repository. However, a response to a member's inquiry is determined by a reciprocity due to the inquiring member.  Each business entity regarding which information is stored in the exchange repository is associated with a business entity identifier. A business entity identifier associates a record file for the corresponding small business entity. The record file includes trade data of the small business, data relating to one or more principals of the small business entity, as well as data relating to one or more guarantors of the small business entity, as appropriate.
