Abstract: Methods and apparatus for separating and removing aflatoxin-contaminated corn from batches of corn by a floating process, thus producing a distinguishable floating mat of contaminated corn and a separate submerged bed of uncontaminated and less contaminated corn. The methods of this disclosure include removing the floating contaminated corn mat by a vacuum mechanism or by liquid flow. The methods reduce the aflatoxin level in the submerged corn bed as much as 80% from the initial aflatoxin level, while removing no more than 15% from the batch of corn.

Abstract: A thermal management device is for a electronic apparatus, and includes a thermally conductive member, and elastic and thermally conductive material. The member is for engagement with a heat sinking portion and for conducting thermal energy. The member has two legs that are deflectable relative to each other. The first leg is configured for location proximate to an electronic component and the second leg is configured to extend toward the heat sinking portion. The member has a connecting portion interconnecting the two legs such that thermal energy can travel between the legs, and such that a spacing is provided between the two legs. The elastic and thermally conductive material is located in the spacing between the legs such that the thermal energy can travel from the first leg through the material and to the second leg, and such that the two legs may deflect relative to each other.
