  • Patent number: 9993742
    Abstract: A process for production of minerals using an evaporation unit comprising an evaporation element for exposing thereof to the atmosphere for evaporation of a liquid solution therefrom. The evaporation element comprises an evaporation surface and a texture for deflecting the solution during movement along the surface, leaving minerals on the surface as a result of evaporation of the solution. The texture allows the minerals to detach from the element under the sole influence of normal forces of nature before the minerals reach a weight capable of damaging the evaporation unit. The process includes wetting the element with the solution, which at least partially evaporates and forms precipitated minerals, at least some of which are left on the surface; and letting the minerals detach from the surface solely under the influence of normal forces of nature before the minerals on the surface reach a weight capable of damaging the unit.

  • Patent number: 9186597
    Abstract: A method of assembly of an evaporation assembly module. The evaporation assembly module comprises an evaporation element, a pipe having at least one fluid outlet and configured for wetting at least a portion of the evaporation element by passing fluid through the fluid outlet, and a support structure configured for holding the evaporation element in a suspended position. The method includes connecting the pipe to the evaporation element and subsequently suspending the pipe and the connected evaporation element to the support structure, in a suspended position.

  • Patent number: 8545557
    Abstract: An implantable tissue expander including an internal skeletal element extending between a base surface and an outer surface and including at least one plurality of elongate cells extending along mutually generally parallel axes from the base surface to the outer surface and being defined by elongate cell walls formed of a resilient material and a sealed enclosure, sealing the internal skeletal element and adapted for preventing body fluids from filling the plurality of elongate cells.

  • Publication number: 20120247688
    Abstract: A process for mineral production using an evaporation unit comprising an evaporation element for exposing thereof to the atmosphere for evaporation of a liquid solution. The element comprises an evaporation surface oriented for allowing movement of the solution therealong due to gravity and has a texture for deflecting the solution during the movement along the surface, leaving minerals on the surface due to evaporation of the solution. The texture allows the minerals to detach from the element solely under influence of normal forces of nature before they reach a weight capable of damaging the unit. The process includes wetting the element with the solution, which at least partially evaporates and forms precipitated minerals, at least some of which are left on the surface; and letting the minerals detach from the surface solely under the influence of normal forces of nature before they reach a weight capable of damaging the unit.

  • Patent number: 5087092
    Abstract: A cover for a motor vehicle includes a panel of still sheet material having a length and width sufficient at least to cover the vehicle roof and formed with a plurality of longitudinal fold lines to permit folding it in accordian fashion and thereby to adjust its width to the width of the vehicle roof to which it is applied, and a plurality of anchoring members extending from opposite sides of the panel for anchoring it to the vehicle roof when applied thereover.
