A product and process are disclosed that relate to electroconductive powders based on tantalum, niobium, or phosphorus or any combination thereof doped tin oxide and coatings containing such powders. These powders can be used for making transparent coated films that are conductive and have desirable properties for a number of end uses. Some important end uses are in static dissipative fiber and films, coatings for recyclable containers, materials involved in packaging, where the presence of certain heavy metals is undesirable, transparent conductive coatings, among other uses.
5569424 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECYCLING WASTE COMPOSITE MATERIAL
5569473 APPARATUS FOR FORMING A RECYCLABLE LINED CONTAINER Bright Stephen A Troy, OH, UNITED STATES assigned to Electra Form Inc An apparatus for manufacturing a recyclable container includes a mechanism for holding a reusable shell, fitting a liner preform over the reusable shell, and blow forming the liner, preform within the reusable shell to provide a disposable liner for the reusable shell. The disposable liner is removable to permit recycling of the reusable shell. In a preferred embodiment, the mechanism is an integrated injection mold and stretch blow mold machine that both creates the liner preform and blow forms the liner into reusable shell.
AmourWilliam Monroe, WA, UNITED STATES 5569478 A method and apparatus for recycling waste composite materials. The method includes prechopping cured waste composite materials into manageably sized strips, conditioning the prechopped strips into resin particulate and loose fibers having a length of approximately one-half to one and one-half inches, mixing the resin particulate and loose fibers with an uncured resin, and placing the resultant mixture into a mold having a forming surface contoured to form a composite part. The strips of the composite material are conditioned by running them through a conditioner that includes a high-speed rotating blade. The rotating blade includes a plurality of angled cutting tips that chop up the waste composite material into loose fibers and resin particulate. The resin particulate and loose fibers pass through holes in a cylindrical screen that surrounds the cutting blade and cutting tips.
5569436 REMOVAL OF MERCURY AND CADMIUM AND THEIR COMPOUNDS FROM INCINERATOR FLUE GASES Lerner Bernard J Pittsburgh, PA, UNITED STATES assigned to Beco Engineering Company Toxic metal vapor phase compounds, and in particular, mercury and cadmium, are removed from waste incinerator combustion gases by contact with dry alkaline material and dry activated carbon followed by solids separation. The resulting gas is subjected to quench/wet scrubbing with recycle hydrochloric acid solution formed in situ by absorption of HCl from the gas. Blowdown liquid withdrawn from the recycle acid liquor, may be recycled to the incinerator or further treated by neutralization, precipitation, and filtration of the precipitated toxic metals.
CLAMSHELL GRILL COOKING AND STAGING PROCESS Liebermann Benno Louisville, KY, UNITED STATES The present invention is directed toward a method for transferring heat to food articles for cooking or staging ensuring bacteriological safety in the fast food production of hamburgers and other protein or farinaceous food articles. The process provides a means to initially cook frozen food articles sealed in heat conducting containers, such as a flexible pouch to cook raw food articles or previously cooked food articles, and to stage same for prolonged time periods at optimum product quality at a selected low temperature, thereby assuring precision, time and temperature-related, pathogenic risk management and food safety for public consumption. The process provides a means of holding the patties and/or other food articles encased in suitable plastic packages for prolonged time periods at an equilibrated, safe internal temperature range, selectable between 130” and 185”F, which temperature range is optional and maintained in order to guarantee bacteriological food safety by achieving 99.999% thermal lethality of trace pathogens potentially present in ground meat articles such as beef or chicken patties.
