Abstract: A powdery material removal and recovery system comprises a distribution apparatus (1), a blower unit (2), a vacuum unit (3), a recovered powder receiving hopper (4), a powder sifter (5) and a conveyor (6). The vacuum unit (3) sucks material particles from the surface of boards passing along conveyor (6) below and transfers the material to receiving hopper (4). Air from the blower unit (2) is expelled through a pressure chamber of the distribution apparatus (1) onto the surface of the boards below so that any remaining remnants of particles are dried and dislodged and can then be removed via the outer duct compartments (108, 110). Recovered material deposited into the receiving hopper (4) may then be transferred to the powder sifter (5) for sifting and reuse.

Abstract: A system for providing weight and nutritional information. The system involves input of subject data such as weight, body fat percentage, and expected activity levels. Users also may input an assessment of a subject, which can be used to generate a weight plan for the subject. The weight plan can include a series of acceptable minimum weights for the subject, each of the minimum weights being associated with a time. The method can also be used to generate a nutrition plan based on the subject data entered. A subject can build the nutrition plan by responding to a series of food exchange item prompts.
