Patent number: 5248419Abstract: This invention relates to a sewage sludge treatment system resulting in an oxygenated and/or ozonated treated sludge containing substantially no pathogens. The system includes apparatus and a process for mascerating raw sludge, adjusting the pH to about 2.5 to about 3, adjusting the solids content to about 2.5% to about 4%, adjusting the temperature, if necessary, to about 20.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C., mixing an oxygen-rich gas, such as oxygen and/or ozone with the sludge as the sludge is mixed or recirculated through a hyperbaric vessel and simultaneously injecting the oxygen-rich gas into a combination gas and sludge mixing and dispersing assembly in an upper portion of the hyperbaric vessel. Such injection causes mixing of the gas and sludge and dispersement of such mixture in a plurality of streams to atomize and oxygenate the sludge.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1992Date of Patent: September 28, 1993Assignee: Long EnterprisesInventors: Charles A.

Patent number: 4995209Abstract: When constructing walls beneath suspended ceilings of the type including T-bars, the usual practice is to connect C-shaped channel members directly to the T-bars. If the walls are disassembled or moved, unsightly holes remain in the exposed bottom surfaces of the T-bars. A simple connector for solving the problem includes a strip of material which, in use, includes a generally inverted U-shaped central portion for straddling the top stem of the T-bar, and a pair of arms perpendicular to the central portion for extending outwardly beyond the arms of the T-bar into overlapping relationship with the channel member. Screws are used to connect the device to the T-bar and to the channel member. Thus, the T-bar remains intact and undamaged.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1989Date of Patent: February 26, 1991Inventor: William Cobb
