Abstract: A system for selectively enclosing an appliance is provided. The system includes a first device and a second device. The first device detects whether a first door is in a fully open configuration. When the first door is in the fully open configuration, the first device sets the appliance into an operational mode. When the first door is not in the fully open configuration, the first device sets the appliance into a limited mode. The second device includes a locking device and detects whether the appliance is in a working mode. When the appliance is in the working mode, the second device engages the locking device to prevent a motion of the first door away from the fully open configuration. When the appliance is not in the working mode, the second device disengages the locking device to allow the motion of the first door.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for the elimination of the gaseous pollutants sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide from the emissions of furnaces and smelters, and for the production of two commercial products, liquid sulfur and nitric acid. Two precipitators are operated in series, each containing an annular reaction chamber and a cylindrical separation chamber surrounded by the reaction chamber. The first precipitator combines the furnace or smelter emissions with methane in its reaction chamber in order to reduce the sulfur dioxide in the emissions to sulfur. The emissions are then passed through a tangential duct to the first precipitator's separation chamber where the fine sulfur praticles are converted to liquid sulfur by sending the mixed gases through an involuted spiral baffle and allowing the sulfur particles to coalesce on a trip wire grid. The sulfur particles then melt and fall by gravity to the bottom of the separation chamber, from which point the liquid sulfur is withdrawn.

Abstract: The present device separates salts from water by utilizing hydraulic force, the force of inertia, centrifugal force and the catalytic similarities produced by hydrogen in a process named, Desalination By The Inverse Function Of The Known "Salting-Out" Effect, which establishes differential density within the high gravity chamber of the centrifugal rotor.

Abstract: Hydrogen gas is injected into sea water preceding treatment in an improved pocket type centrifuge. The catalytic effects of hydrogen gas within the confining walls plus hydraulic, inertia, and centrifugal forces acting within the improved pocket type centrifuge give an inverse function of the known salting-out effect in which the hydrogen rejects the salt and floats the fresh-water from the system. The hydrogen gas is separated from the fresh-water by a second improved pocket type centrifuge and recycled for efficiency in the process.
