The presented construction of box-type extractor is a new word in extraction process.
This unit is dedicated to extract soluble components from oil-bearing vegetative raw materials.
Multi-step counter-flow process without longitudinal mixing is realized. This ensures high process efficiency.
There is an overlooked and extremely powerful alternative energy source that is renewable and that has been available since at least the formation of salt water oceans: the electrostatic fields of like-charged solute ions.
Nutrients sink in the ocean. When they sink below the level of darkness, photosynthesis in plankton cannot proceed, and the nutrients are lost. The idea is to provide floating, wave-powered pumps that will pull the nutrient-laden deep water to the surface where it can fuel the biosphere.
Terraspan is an invention of ADVANCED TRANSPORT and POWER DISTRIBUTION. All its components are available today.
Terraspan is GREEN, promotes ENERGY INDEPENDENCE, ENERGY ALTERNATIVES, and FREE TRADE as well as productivity. Terraspan takes millions of barrels of oil off the roads and reduces greenhouse gases.
One in 50 people are living with paralysis (Dana & Christopher Reeve Foundation). Children and adolescents represent a significant percentage of patients (20% are under 20 years of age and 5% are under 15 years of age).
For decades dental implants and abutments have been made of Titanium as it is the ultimate material for use in the human body. Problem was the Ti abutments would create a dark area through the tissue between the restoration and the implant in the bone.
Thumb screws, wing nuts or knobs are usually hand tightened to secure parts that do not require large clamping forces. However, they are subject to undesirable loosening due to vibration.
There is a need for a more reliable hand tightened fastener that does not loosen.
The thermal stir welding process (U.S. Patents 7,980,449 & 8,127,977) is a new solid-state (meaning the weld metal does not melt during welding) welding process invented at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The unique welding process (FIGURE 1) decouples the heating,
Amid frantic cries for help, some youths from the nearby locality joined in the rescue, pulling out those still alive, long before firefighters reached the spot. The death toll would have been less had the hospital authorities allowed them in to evacuate the patients earlier.
Yes,
Thin film resistors are becoming the mainstay for hybrid microcircuits.
Integral part of the metal interconnect system.
Offer greater design latitude to the circuit designer; can be laser trimmed with high precision and stability in hermetic packages.
