An apparatus for transporting and marking a substrate, such as a collapsed corrugated cardboard carton. A feeder station is configured to receive a substantially vertically aligned stack of substrates. An advancement assembly of the feeder station successively moves the lower portions of the substrates in an inboard direction and a tensioner assembly applies a clamping force to the upper portions of the substrates. A transfer assembly engages the innermost substrate in the stack to rotate and remove the substrate from the rest of the stack and provide the substrate to a transport and marking station, which drives the substrate past a marking mechanism. The transport and marking station advances the substrate into a gravity discharge station which induces sufficient tilt in the substrate so that, upon exiting of the substrate from the transport, gravity induces the substrate to rotate and fall in a controlled fashion into a completed stack.

Substrate transport and marking assembly

Apparatus and method for increasing dissolved oxygen levels in a liquid. An oxygenation system ( ) includes a liquid source ( ) from which liquid is introduced into a piping network ( ) by a pump ( ). Colloidal minerals are injected into the liquid in a dwell chamber ( ). The mixture of liquid and minerals flows into an oxygenator ( ) where gaseous oxygen is injected into the liquid. The resulting two-phase flow stream is accelerated to supersonic speeds through a linear flow accelerator ( ) comprising a flat Venturi ( ) and electromagnets ( ) positioned adjacent the flat Venturi. The electromagnets generate an electromagnetic field to exert a force on the two-phase mixture in the direction of the flow. The flow stream then passes through a laminar flow grid ( ) to remove turbulence, after which the oxygenated liquid is bottled at a bottling system ( ).
