  • Patent number: 9315981
    Abstract: A separator module for a stormwater gully chamber is disclosed, the separator module comprising: a partition arrangement which, in use, divides the chamber into an upper region and a lower region, the partition arrangement comprising: an inlet chute having an opening which, in use, provides an inlet to the lower region from the upper region; an outlet chute having an opening which, in use, provides an outlet from the lower region to the upper region; and a weir separating the outlet chute from the inlet chute; wherein at least a portion of the partition arrangement is flexible so as to allow an external diameter of the partition arrangement to be adjusted to fit different sized chambers.

  • Patent number: 6499980
    Abstract: An automated conveyance system moves green tires (24) with monorail carriers (18) to tire molding presses (40). Each monorail carrier (18) deposits a green tire (24) into an elevator system (31) which, in turn, transfers the green tire to within reach of a press loader (38) for tire press (40). The elevator system (31) also provides a buffer storage for the tires in process. In one embodiment, the green tire in the basket (28) is rotated about a vertical path through which the basket moves to within reach of the press loader. In another embodiment, the elevator system (31) can move the green tire by linear translation from the vertical path through which the basket moves to within reach of the loader (38).

  • Patent number: 4495204
    Abstract: A neutral tasting alcoholic beverage prepared by mashing a well modified standard brewers malt, with hops and water at a temperature of 40.degree. C. to 45.degree. C. for a period of time of between 10 to 30 minutes, and thereafter raising the temperature to from 60.degree. C. to 62.degree. C. to obtain a wort. The wort, in an amount of from 2% to 20%, is mixed with a fermentable carbohydrate and water at a temperature of between 80.degree. C. and 90.degree. C. in an amount of from 80% to 98%, to obtain a fermentable solution, which is then cooled to between 14.degree. C. to 20.degree. C., and pitched with brewers yeast. It is then fermented for from 4 to 8 days at from 14.degree. C. to 20.degree. C. and thereafter cooled to 0.degree. C. for from 4 to 7 days, and filtered to obtain the neutral tasting alcoholic beverage.
