5503739 Heat dissipating device for water purifier's thermoelement
xv
New Patents
An energy and water conservation laundry mechanism which includes a plurality of automatic washing machines, a rinse water storage tank, plumbing which connects the storage tank to the each of the washing machines, and electrical controls which are tied into the existing control circuitry of the washing machines for selectively directing the flow of rinse water between the storage tank and the washing machines. The plumbing includes pumps and valves which enables rinse water, as stored in the storage tank, to be delivered to each washing machine at the beginning of a wash cycle and waste water from the wash cycle to be discharged into a conventional sewer line. Rinse water from each washing machine at the end of each rinse cycle, is pumped to the storage tank for reuse for subsequent wash cycles of the machines. The invention also includes a filter for the rinse water which includes a toroidal shape filter element.

This invention is a system which purifies or removes air pollutants from the vent gas stream of a fixed roof liquid storage tank. It incorporates a novel method for insuring that tank venting will not be restricted or prevented by the air pollution control or purification devices, and thereby eliminates a potential cause of deformation or collapse of a fixed roof liquid storage tank upon which it may be installed. It is constructed of essentially two parts as follows: 1. a purification unit, which may contain filtration and/or sorptive media, connected by a pipe or chamber to the vent connection of a fixed roof liquid storage tank 2. a forced draft fan, selected according to specific design criteria, which forces air into the pipe or chamber which connects the purification unit and the fixed roof liquid storage tank.
5503739 HEAT DISSIPATING DEVICE FOR WATER PURIFIER’S THERMOELEMENT

Dong Joung W Seoul, REPUBLIC OF KOREA assigned to Chung Ho NAIS Incorporation
A system and method for the real-time monitoring of the location (e.g. vertical extent) of a fracture within a waste disposal formation as that fracture is being formed. Acoustical-energy sensors (e.g. geophones) are isolated within the annulus of the well through which the waste material is injected into the formation. This eliminates the need for expensive, dedicated monitor wells while protecting the sensors from the abrasive effects of the injected waste material.
An improved heat dissipating device for water purifier’s thermoelement is disclosed. The device selectively uses either the fresh water or waste water of a membrane as refrigerant to absorb and dissipate heat of the thermoelement’s hot junction. The above device is connected to a waste water drain conduit of the membrane and to a fresh water bypass conduit, thereby being selectively supplied with either the waste water of the membrane or the fresh water as the refrigerant.

The waste water drain conduit has a flow control valve for controlling the amount of waste water to be supplied for the heat dissipating device. The fresh water bypass conduit has a solenoid valve for making the fresh water be directly supplied for the heat dissipating device when the fresh water is not supplied for the water purifying system as the purified water tank has been filled with the purified water.
5503751 TREATMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EFFLUENT Glover Edward C T; Glover Martyn London, UNITED KINGDOM assigned to Eastman Kodak Company PCT No. PCT/EP92/01583 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 21, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 21, 1994 PCT Filed Jul. 13, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO94/00241 PCT Pub: Date Jan. 6, 1994. It is known to treat the effluent resulting from photographic processing apparatus. Such treatment takes the form of either neutralization where the effluent is mixed with a neutralizing solution prior to disposal, or evaporation where the effluent is heated to form a precipitate and a concentrated liquid portion prior to disposal. However, both these techniques have disadvantages they do not account for toxic particles which may be suspended in the solutions. Described herein is apparatus in which photographic effluent can be treated to provide harmless end products which can be disposed of directly. The apparatus comprises a mixing unit in which the effluent is mixed with treatment chemicals and is then passed to a separation unit in which the treated effluent is separated into non-toxic liquid and solid phases. A computer is used to control all stages of the treatment of the effluent.
5505845 WASTE DISPOSAL TRAY FOR AN AUTOMATIC COFFEE MAKER Ford David F Springfield, IL, UNITED STATES assigned to Bunn-0-Matic Corporation A tray assembly for use in receiving and retaining used moist brewing substances and the like from a beverage brewing apparatus and separating a liquid portion therefrom. The tray assembly is in communication with an entry port which deposits moist brewing substances therein. A drain line in the brewing apparatus carries separated liquids away from said tray assembly. The tray assembly includes a tray body, a liquid separation portion retained in said tray body for drawing off liquids from moist brewing substances, and a controllably sealable tray valve assembly attached to the tray body and operatively engaging the drain line for draining liquids from the tray assembly. A first area in the tray body between the entry port and the liquid separation portion communicates with the entry port and defines a receiving and retaining space. A second area in the tray body between the liquid separating portion and the valve assembly communicates with the tray valve assembly and defines a liquid collection space. Drained brewing substance is retained in the receiving and retaining space for removal at a later time. Liquid drawn off of the brewing substance into the liquid collection space flows from the tray assembly out through the tray valve assembly when engaged with the drain line.
