Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved system and process for the production of Hot Mix Asphalt containing High Recycle/Reclaimed Asphalt. Unlike conventional processing systems, the presently disclosed system utilizes a combination of dryer design and cyclone and wet scrubber technology to remove dust, particulate matter and oil residue from hot gas emissions produced during the process and recycles it back into the system.

Abstract: A support bracket includes a body, an arm, a first mount, a boss, and a second mount. The arm extends laterally from the body and a first fastener opening passes through the arm. The first mount extends from a first side of the body, and a first fillet is disposed at the interface of the first mount and the body. A boss extends from a second side of the body and a second fastener opening passes through the boss. A second fillet is disposed at the interface of the boss and the body. The second mount extends into the body opposite the boss. A third fillet is disposed at the interface of the second mount and the first side and a fourth fillet is disposed at the interface of the second mount and the second side.

Abstract: A wire support member for an environmental control system, the wire support member has a first bracket with inner and outer surfaces and a second bracket with inner and outer surfaces. A bracket connecter is disposed between and connects the first bracket and the second bracket. A ratio between the thickness of the first bracket and an offset between the first inner surface and the second inner surface optimizes the position of a wire harness and prevents the wire harness from contacting other surfaces within the aircraft.

Abstract: A wire support member for an environmental control system includes a bracket having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness. A first arm projects from the bracket, a first flange projects from a first end of the first arm. The first flange includes a first harness support opening therethrough. A second arm also projects from the bracket parallel to the first arm, and a second flange projects from a second end of the second arm. The second flange has a second harness support opening therethrough. A ratio of a diameter of the first harness support opening and of the second harness support opening to the thickness of the bracket optimizes the routing and support for the wiring.

Abstract: A wire support member for supporting the wiring of an environmental control system. The wire support member has a base edge, a first edge, and a second edge, the first and second edges form a V-shaped apex opposite the base edge. The ratios of the diameter of a first fastener opening through the wire support member to a length from the center of the first fastener opening to the first edge, and of the diameter of the first fastener opening to a length from the center of the first fastener opening to the second edge optimize the routing and support for the wiring.

Abstract: An air separation system is provided that includes at least one air separation module having a first end and a second end and at least one mounting assembly removably connected the at least one air separation module and configured to mount the at least one air separation module in an aircraft. The at least one mounting assembly includes a first end cap removably connected to the first end of the at least one air separation module, a second end cap removably connected to the second end of the at least one air separation module, and at least one bracket configured to removably connect one of the first end cap and the second end cap to an aircraft.

Abstract: Compositions comprising keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) polypeptides and methods of using the same are described. The KGF polypeptides of the present invention display enhanced bioactivity relative to full-length KGF163. Accordingly, the KGF polypeptides of the present invention may be used in compositions in lesser amounts than would be necessary using KGF163.
