| 20090113749 | High Efficiency Liquid Solid Separator - A liquid solid separator utilizing inductive heating. An electrically conductive scroll conveyor is contained within a non-magnetic and non-conductive housing under vacuum. A moveable alternating electric coil is disposed around the housing. The scroll pulls the solids through the housing. Operation of the coil heats the scroll which heats the solids. The vacuum lowers the boiling point of the liquids, and they are vaporized at a relatively low temperature. The vapors are condensed and collected. Because of the low temperatures, the separated liquids are less likely to deteriorate during separation, facilitating recycling. Thermocouples and a computer track the internal temperature of the separator and coordinate the position of the coil to maintain the desired temperature. The housing is provided with a heat insulating outer layer and the interior of the scroll is pressurized with nitrogen. The separator surfaces exposed to the atmosphere are maintained at or below 150° F. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20090282693 | SHAVER CLEANER AND SHAVER SYSTEM - DC 5V shared with a shaver is inputted into a step-up circuit of a cleaner from a terminal of an AC adapter. When an oscillation circuit turns on/off an FET, the voltage is stepped up by using a choke coil, and the charge is accumulated in a capacitor. By using DC 24V of the stet-up result outputted from the capacitor, an electromagnetic induction heating circuit allows an FET to turn on/off the current flowing through a coil, the blade edge of the shaver is induction-heated. In this case, by applying a trigger pulse of the oscillation circuit through an inverter to the FET, the duty factor of the step-up circuit is high, and that of the electromagnetic induction heating circuit is low. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20110289790 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRYING ELECTRODE MATERIAL - An electrode material drying method and apparatus for drying electrode material are provided for achieving quality improvement of batteries. Electrode material portions containing a solvent are spaced apart from each other on the metal foil. An inductive coil that inductively heats the metal foil faces the metal foil. An amount of heat applied to an uncoated portion of the metal foil between the electrode material portions is reduced below that of a coated portion of the metal foil on which the electrode material portions are arranged. The heat evaporates the solvent in the electrode material portions by causing the metal foil to generate heat with inductive heating while moving the metal foil and the inductive coil relative to each other in an arrangement direction, that is, a direction in which the electrode material portions are arranged. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20100146806 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS DRYING OF WOOD PIECES - A system for continuous (re-)drying of wood pieces. A conveyor arrangement receives and carries the wood pieces in file following a course. A moisture content of each wood piece travelling on the conveyor arrangement is measured during the course. The wood pieces whose measured moisture content are above a target content are diverted towards a drying equipment, in particular by high-frequency, whereas the other wood pieces continue their course on the conveyor arrangement. The drying equipment removes a moisture portion from the diverted wood pieces. The moisture contents of the processed wood pieces are again measured. The pieces whose moisture content dropped below the target content are routed towards the conveyor arrangement whereas the other pieces are routed in the drying equipment for a re-drying. | 06-17-2010 |
