  • Waste energy conversion system
    Publication number: 20090090282
    Abstract: An on-site modular method and system for processing waste typically including food from a food services facility. The waste is processed in a size reduction unit and subsequently dried in a dryer. The dried shredded waste is processed to produce densified pellets. The food binds the non-food waste in the pellets. The pellets are burned in a thermal conversion unit to produce a gas and waste heat. The waste heat is directed to the dryer for use therein. The gas is fed to a generator or turbine to produce electricity. A portion of the electricity produced is used to energize the process.

  • Pressure sensitive material
    Patent number: 7176272
    Abstract: A polymeric material which exhibits an optically detectable response to changes in pressure. The material includes an elastomer selected from the group of a polyurethane, a polyacrylate, and a silicone, in combination with a photochemical system. The photochemical system may be in the form of an exciplex or a fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Both photochemical systems are reversible processes. Synthesis of the elastomer and the photochemical system produce a material which forms an excited charge transfer complex when subject to an increase in pressure and a less excited charge transfer complex as pressure is lowered.
