Title: Automated cleaning system
Inventor: GILL BRENT
IPC: B08B9/00
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: The automated cleaning system uses the in plant service water by delivering the water to piping (60) attached to the center unit (35). The automated cleaning system is powered by the existing motor that is installed on the clarifier (10). Water is supplied to the piping (60) that runs under the walkway (50) out to the center column (25). The piping (60) carries the water into the area created between the inner stationary ring (40) and outer rotating ring (45). The outer rotation ring (45) is attached to a rotating spindle to rotate the outer ring (45). The inner stationary ring (40) of the center unit (20) is attached to a secured mechanism so that it remains stationary. The water flows between the inner stationary ring (40) and the outer rotating (45) component of the center unit (35). The water is pressurized in this area.

Title: Frictional damping strut
Inventor: DEC ANDRZEJ
IPC: F16F7/08
Filed: 2003-11-13
Abstract: An inner damping member (20) is axially engaged with an outer housing. The outer housing (10) is connectable to a tensioner arm (11). A wegde member (30) connected to an immoveable mounting member (40) is axially engaged with an inner portion of the inner damping member. The outer housing is axially moveable relative to the wedge member. A spring (50) bears upon and urges the outer housing away from an end cap (60). The end cap comprises a rod (70), which extends axially within the wedge member and has an end connected to the inner damping member. The rod transmits a spring load force from the end cap to the inner damping member such that the inner damping member radially expands against the outer housing in response to the spring load force, thereby creating a frictional force between the inner damping member and the outer housing which damps an outer housing movement in proportion to the spring force.

Ceci permet à l'utilisateur de faire d'autres activités sans s'occuper de remuer le mets d e temps à autre. La barre magnétique est dotée de protubérances inférieures et supérieures. Les protubérances inférieures permettent d'empêcher la formation d'une croûte au fond du récipient de cuisson facilitant ainsi le nettoyage de la vaisselle. Les protubérances supérieures permettent la superposition de plusieurs unités de brassage qui permettent de remuer la préparation de plats à grande échelle. La barre magnétique est rétractable par un mécanisme coulissant qui permet d'ajuster la longueur pour des contenants de tailles variées. Des appendices emboîtables peuvent également être ajoutés aux unités de brassage afin de les adapter au type de mets cuisiné.
