The system may include a scrubbing device flowably connected to a molten salt reactor off-gas outlet to receive an off-gas, a first heating device configured to heat the effluent from the scrubbing device, and a filtering device flowably connected to receive the effluent from the heating device. An overflow conduit may be flowably connected to a molten salt reactor overflow outlet to receive molten salt therefrom and discharge the molten salt to a salt recovery vessel, and a blower or other gas mover may be connected to the molten salt reactor and the recovery vessel to prevent backflow of cold gases through the overflow outlet to the molten salt reactor. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20120141947 | METHOD FOR CONVEYING HYDROCARBONACEOUS MATERIAL - A method of heating and conveying hydrocarbonaceous material in a retort structure having an internal volume, an outlet, a grate, a gas injector, and an auger. In the method the hydrocarbonaceous material is introduced into the internal volume through the inlet. The inlet substantially prevents gaseous transfer between the inner volume and the exterior of the retort structure. The hydrocarbonaceous material is passed through the grate. A gas heated to a first temperature is injected through the gas injector to heat the hydrocarbonaceous material while the hydrocarbonaceous material is atop the grate. The hydrocarbonaceous material is collected after passing through the grate. The hydrocarbonaceous material is then removed through the outlet. | 06-07-2012 |
| 20120237885 | Apparatus and Method Utilizing Forced Convection for Uniform Thermal Treatment of Thin Film Devices - An apparatus for uniform reactive thermal treatment of thin-film materials includes a chamber enclosing a tube shaped space filled with a work gas and heaters disposed outside the chamber. The apparatus further includes a loading configuration for subjecting a plurality of planar substrates to the work gas in the tube shaped space. Baffles are disposed above and below the loading configuration. | 09-20-2012 |
| 20120258414 | SUBSTRATE SUPPORT INSTRUMENT, AND VERTICAL HEAT TREATMENT APPARATUS AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF - A substrate support instrument includes a first support instrument portion and a second support instrument portion detachably combined with each other. Each of the first support instrument portion and second support instrument portion includes: a ceiling plate and a bottom plate facing each other upward and downward; a support pillar disposed in plurality along a peripheral edge portion of each of the ceiling plate and bottom plate, and configured to connect the ceiling plate and the bottom plate; and a support part disposed at a position corresponding to each of the support pillars, and configured to support a bottom of each substrate. In the support part, a height position is set such that a substrate supported in the first support instrument portion and a substrate supported in the second support instrument portion are alternately arranged, when the first support instrument portion is combined with the second support instrument portion. | 10-11-2012 |
| 20120329000 | SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS, SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM - The present invention includes: an upper container and a lower container relatively movable and uniting together into one body to form a processing space; a substrate holding part provided inside the lower container and mounting and holding the substrate thereon; and a delivery arm including a support member extending vertically downward from a lower surface of the upper container, and a delivery member supported by the support member and holding an outer peripheral portion of the substrate and delivering the substrate to/from the substrate holding part, wherein the delivery arm is movable together with the upper container in the vertical direction relative to the lower container, and a cutout groove capable of housing the delivery member is formed at a position corresponding to the delivery member at the outer peripheral portion of the substrate holding part. | 12-27-2012 |
| 20150354222 | ENCLOSURE FOR WARMING BUILDING MATERIALS - Techniques for warming building materials, such as shingles and siding, are provided. In various implementations, a cover is positioned over building materials and secured in place. The cover at least partially defines an interior space in which the building materials are located. The cover is then connected to a mechanical heating device. The mechanical heating device is activated to provide heat to an interior space. At least some of the building materials are removed from the interior space and used in a building project. In various implementations, the mechanical heating device is activated about twenty-four to forty-eight hours before the materials will be used. | 12-10-2015 |
