Said apparatus comprises a mechanical feeding system for depulped beans, as well as a system for removing the mucilage and further washing of the beams that is constituted by a vertical rotor provided with metallic fingers that generate friction between the grains to be demucilaged, and also two metallic baskets, the first one is conical shaped—where a variable pressure zone between beans is generated, making possible a efficient detachment of the mucilage—, and the second one is cylindrical shaped one—zone of greater agitation between the beans and lower pressure between them and where a minimal amount of water is used for final washing—, which are built with square rods forming a continuous spiral which enables an easy evacuation of mucilage and other impurities through the horizontal slots due to the centrifugal force produced by the spin of a rotor. Finally, the present invention refers to a method for demucilaging, cleaning and washing depulped coffee by using of the above mentioned integral machine.	12-27-2012

20090212571	WAVE POWER SYSTEM FOR EXTRACTING SIMULTANEOUSLY BOTH POTENTIAL AND KINETIC ENERGY AT VARIABLE SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHTS AND PERIODS - A wave energy conversion system or device includes a float and base on top of which there is a power take-off system. The float, its base and the machine room are inserted in a main column supported by legs and corresponding leg supports on the bottom floor in shallow waters (seas or lakes). In deeper waters, the main column may be supported by column supports attached to an underwater float. The machine room is separated of the float frame through a rotary joint which allows the float and base to rotate in any horizontal direction while maintaining the machine room fixed in the same horizontal direction. The rotary joint separating the float frame and the machine room also allows for the vertical up and down movement when interacting with incoming waves. The distance between the machine room and the float frame is always the same. The device includes flaps or blades for the absorption of kinetic energy derived from the back and forth movement of water generated by waves. The device extracts potential energy of the wave from the up and down movement of the floating structure through a power take-off system in the machine room.	08-27-2009
20150259869	MODULAR SUBMERGIBLE BREAKWATER FOR LOWERING WATER WAVE KINETIC ENERGY ESPECIALLY DURING STORMS OR ROUGH WATERS - The present invention relates to submergible modular breakwaters for lowering the kinetic energy of water waves.

20140020599	ADDITIVE TO MODIFY THE RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ASPHALT, TO BE USED IN WARM ASPHALT MIXTURES - It is an additive that modifies the Theological properties of asphalt under warm conditions, and makes it possible to mix and compact asphalt mixtures with a reduction in temperature of up to 35° C., which is constituted by wax, an adhesion-improving additive and a fluxing agent, which reduces asphalt oxidation, causing it to be less-aged and more resistant to fatigue, reduces the interfacial tension between the aggregate and the asphalt, increases adhesion between them, making the mixture resistant to the damages caused by humidity, increases resistance to permanent deformation, causes gas emissions to be reduced and leads to savings in fuel consumption. The additive according to the invention has the following effects:—At high temperatures (between 100° C. and 160° C.), IT REDUCES the asphalt viscosity, as compared to asphalt without the additive.—At temperatures between 58° C. and 82° C., IT INCREASES the asphalt viscosity, as compared to asphalt without the additive.—At temperatures lower than 25° C., IT REDUCES the asphalt viscosity, as compared to asphalt without the additive.	01-23-2014

20120137576	METHOD AND PLANT FOR THE THERMAL TREATMENT OF ORGANIC MATTER IN ORDER TO PRODUCE CHARCHOAL OR CHAR - The organic matter carbonization process is based on thermal treatment at high temperatures, under a controlled atmosphere, if possible in the absence of oxygen. The organic matter carbonization theory was expounded in this text, with emphasis on the thermodynamic aspects. It is shown in this exposition the important misfit between the endothermic and the exothermic carbonization stages, which hinders the use of the energy emitted during the exothermic stage by the brick kilns. Following there is a summary of the carbonization technique actual stage. The present invention relates to a method and plant for the thermal treatment of organic matter comprising independent reactors for the drying and pyrolysis of organic matter, and an independent reactor for the charcoal cooling. In this method the volatile products—non condensable gases and condensable pyrolytic vapors—are burned in an independent combustion chamber in order to supply the energy demanded by the process. In this way wood is not burned, and polluting substances are not emitted to the atmosphere. The method proposed by the present invention allows a precise control of the process in order to obtain the specified charcoal fixed carbon content; and a higher gravimetric yield, which gives an increase of the forest wood, either native or cultivated. In the independent pyrolysis and drying reactors proposed by the present invention, exiting flue gases from an external combustion chamber are driven to the drying reactor where the wood onto roll on buckets are heated and dried. Fuel gases emitted by the carbonizing wood are burned in the combustion chamber as an energy source. Inside the combustion chamber is placed a heat exchanger with the aim to reheat the pyrolytic gases. After reheated, these gases return to the carbonizing reactor in order to supply energy for the endothermic carbonizing step. The aim of this technique is to avoid the mixing of the fuel gases with the flue gases generated inside the combustion chamber, and to precisely control the carbonizing temperature. The present invention allows the production of intermediate products between wet wood and charcoal by halting the carbonization process at the desired stage in order to obtain anhydrous wood, char or, or high volatile content charcoal. The basic concepts of the process are: 1—Utilization of the emitted gases by the carbonizing wood as an energy source. 2—The stages of wood drying, wood pyrolysis and charcoal cooling are performed in independent reactors, inside which only one of these stages occurs. 3—Energy supply during the carbonizing endothermic stage of the pyrolysis by the gases emitted during this stage after reheated in a heat exchanger. Basically the present invention comprises the following equipments: 1—Reaction chambers inside which the process stages are performed. 2—An external combustion chamber. 3—A heat exchanger inside said combustion chamber. 4—A set of pipes. 5—A set of fans. 6—A loading system comprising roll on buckets.	06-07-2012
