  • Flowing fluid mixing device and method
    Patent number: 4019721
    Abstract: A combination of substantially unmixed fluid materials which are flowing under conditions which normally result in laminar (non-turbulent) flow are mixed by passing the fluids upwardly into a chamber containing a heavy ball which is levitated above the chamber inlet by the flow of the fluids, resulting in an intimate mixing of the fluids.

  • Combined particle sorter and segregation indicator
    Patent number: 3984307
    Abstract: Small particles to be sorted are entrained in a stream of fluid and particle differences are detected to control a sorter located downstream. The sorter is effective to switch the particle carrying fluid to one of two different paths determined by the particle differences to thereby accomplish the sort. A particle detector is positioned to detect the passage of particles through one of said paths in order to verify that the sorting operation has occurred.
