Iflex conveyor system with gapping capability for efficient product transfer

Enclosed herein are embodiments of a product transfer module and product transfer systems. In one embodiment, a product transfer module comprises a first shuttle, the first shuttle including a plurality of rollers, wherein the plurality of rollers are connected by one or more belts and includes a plurality of driven rollers and at least one driving roller; a second shuttle, the second shuttle including a plurality of rows of pulleys and a pulley drive positioned beneath the plurality of pulleys; and a cam system for raising and lowering the first and second shuttles; wherein the first shuttle directs product flow along a first flow path and the second shuttle directs product flow in a second flow direction.

Level right angle transfer module

Embodiments and features of a product moving system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a collapsible product mover comprises a first portion having proximal and distal end, and a top side and a bottom side; a second portion having a proximal and distal end, and a top side and a bottom side, wherein the proximal end of the second portion coupled with the distal end of the first portion; and a support structure beneath at least the first portion; wherein the first and second portions are configured to move between an open position and a folded position, wherein in the folded position the top side of the first portion faces the top side of the second portion.

Collapsible product mover

Disclosed is an electrochemical probe system and an electrical excitation method, configured in a handheld sorting system, and used to identify the composition of metals and alloys.

Systems for electrochemical sorting of metals and alloys

Disclosed is an electrochemical probe system and an electrical excitation method, configured in a bulk sorting system, and used to identify the composition of metals and alloys.

Methods, apparatuses, articles, and systems for identifying, by a state machine, a first module installation of a first module of a plurality of modules of one or more applications, at least a subset of the modules each having one or more installation relationships with one or more other modules of the plurality of modules, and the identifying being based at least in part on the first module's installation relationship(s), if any, with the other modules as described by a data structure describing the installation relationships of the plurality of modules, are described herein. In various embodiments, the state machine may further execute the first module installation and repeat the identifying and the executing for at least a second module installation of a second module of the plurality of modules.

Automation tool for application installations

A method to remove pathogens from dewatered sludge and to reduce vector attraction that includes the steps of raising the pH 12 of the sludge above 12, subjecting the sludge to low ambient (near zero) pressure and/or elevating the shear pressure on the sludge after the sludge has been treated with a bulking agent to increase stiffness. Exposure to a vacuum enhances pathogen destruction and helps remove odiferous gases for vector control.

Method of treating wastewater sludges for pathogen removal and vector

In a head protector for children and invalids, a series of concentric rings of tubular fabric packed with yieldable material and a top member of yieldable material, and straps binding said rings and top together, a ring of spaced cushions, or pillows, between the lowermost ring and the adjacent ring, and means for positioning said protector on a user's head and maintaining same against rearward movement.

Head protector

A protective head gear comprising a plurality of concentric tubular rings formed of soft, yieldable material. The rings which are filled with non-flamable, light, yieldable material, are gradually reduced diametrically and joined by flexible ribbons. A chin strap and a rear support strap detachably maintain the rings on the head of the user.

Protective head gear with tubular rings

A pipe cutting device for use in cutting pipe and the like for forming saddle cuts or pass through cuts, in the pipe, having a set of rollers to carry the pipe to be cut between upstanding supporting members of the machine and having adjustable torches mounted on the supporting members for effecting the desired cut, the torches being slidably mounted on a horizontal support extended between said upstanding supports and which is adjustable vertically, so that a double or single cut can be selectively performed. Rollers are mounted on bars and provide three supporting surfaces to receive various sizes of pipe, and protractors or other measuring means, are mounted on the device at each pivot point, for presetting to the desired angle and size of cut. This invention is a modification of the invention patented by me on Mar. 16, 1965, U.S. Pat. No. 3,173,979.

Pipe cutting machine

A pipe cutter for forming end cuts in pipe, having a pair of annular torch holding members and an annular gear track connected to said members, and an annular vertically adjustable supporting member in which said torch holding members are concentrically mounted, said supporting member being rotatably mounted on vertically adjustable stands, and said stands being mounted on a pivotal base. The torch supporting members, having a cutting torch mounted thereon and a motor for rotating said torch supporting members, are mounted on said vertical supporting member, on rollers, said rollers being provided with braking means to control the speed of rotation of said supporting members. A torch holder, which adjustably holds the cutting torch in the desired position, the torch being suspended from said holder and having means for yieldably maintaining the horizontal position of the torch relative to the torch holder mounted on the vertical supporting members, reciprocates on a plate secured to the torch supporting member, a motor on said plate providing rotation to a threaded shaft on which said torch holder is mounted.

Pipe cutter for end cuts of tubular material

A security device for use on inwardly opening doors, having a holding plate mountable beneath the knob of the door on which a bar is mounted, and a foot member, pivotally mounted on the lower end of the bar, is adapted to move inwardly a preselected distance from the door, and will direct a force upwardly against the door casing when an inward pressure is applied to the door.

Security device

A guide for a cutting torch providing means for effecting circular cutouts in large vessels or large diameter pipe without the need of a lay-out other than fixing a working point and providing multiple adjustments so that cuts may be made of the desired diameter as well as having the desired bevel.
