A dispenser for storing and dispensing food, such as hay, to an animal at predetermined intervals utilizes a linear force device, such as a solenoid, to operate the dispensing mechanism. The dispenser generally comprises a housing, a plurality of spaced superimposed shelves hingedly supported by the housing defining a plurality of contiguously stacked bins for supporting animal food above the ground, a latch assembly including a latch rod for supporting the shelves, and an activation mechanism coupled to the latch rod. The activation mechanism includes a battery, a solenoid having a shaft, a timer for activating the solenoid, shaft biasing means and a conversion mechanism coupling the shaft to the latch rod such that linear movement of the shaft in a first direction rotates the rod for dispensing food and such that movement of the shaft in a second direction does not rotate the rod.

Hay dispenser

The scaling of the internal surfaces of vertical downflow fired heater tubes is decreased by a vapor-liquid mixing means located in the straight section of the tubes which have downward flow.

Vertical tube fired heater and process

A reactor for use with liquid phase reactants which separate into two liquid phases comprising a vertical vessel divided into an upper particle contacting-liquid retention chamber and a lower phase separation chamber by a horizontal liquid barrier. The two phases which form in the upper chamber are separately transferred to an appropriate level in the lower chamber through separate conduits to avoid remixing.
