Abstract: Provided is a paddle processor and a method for processing material within the paddle processor. In one example, the paddle processor may include a trough comprising an inlet to receive a feed of material and an outlet for exiting the material after processing, rotational paddles disposed in the trough and configured to rotate about each other to move the material from the inlet to the outlet, an overflow weir disposed in association with the outlet and having a dynamically adjustable height for controlling a rate at which the material exits the trough, and a control system configured to dynamically adjust the height of the overflow weir and/or other dryer parameters based on a temperature of the material within the trough.

Abstract: A Sign Sentry monitoring system for monitoring lighting. The Sign Sentry system includes a plurality of current sensors for inductively sensing current passing through each lighting circuit. The sign sentry system includes a monitoring panel mounted proximate the signage electrical panel (typically inside the building) which encloses a processor, memory, analog-to-digital transducers, and a modem (connected to a telephone line). A plurality of current sensors are deployed in the signage junction box and are connected from the junction box into the monitoring panel to transducers for converting the sensed current levels to digitized current levels. A software program sequentially polls the sensed current in each lighting circuit, and the current levels are compared to predetermined daytime and nighttime thresholds. If a fault condition is detected the processor generates and stores an error code in memory, the fault code comprising an indication of the site, affected lighting circuit, and nature of the fault.

Abstract: A batch fabrication process to produce plasma display panels uses a multiple processing technique in which a series of individual plate patterns are simultaneously developed on a large master plate. When the master plate processing is completed and inspected, individual plates with associated tubulation members are provided and placed over the individual non-defective plate patterns on the master plate and sealed. The master plate is then divided into individual plates by conventional glass separation techniques such as cutting, scribing, etc. and the individual panels thus formed are completed by bakeout, backfill with an ionizable gas and tubulation tip-off. This permits plasma display panel fabrication in a batch mode using conventional fabrication techniques, permitting multiple plasma panel fabrications in a single process cycle.
