  • Patent number: 5269443
    Abstract: A dosing system for precisely mixing two liquids in a predetermined volumetric relationship includes a flow meter having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and two intermeshed counter-rotating gears positioned between the inlet and outlet. When a first fluid is directed from the inlet to the outlet, the first fluid causes the gears to turn, and the gears turn a predetermined amount for each unit of first fluid directed through the f low meter. The rotor of a peristaltic pump is coupled to one of the gears of the flow meter, such that for each increment of rotation of the gear, the rotor turns to pump a predetermined amount of a second fluid through the peristaltic pump. The outlets of the two pumps are in fluid communication, to permit mixing of the predetermined amounts of first and second fluid.

  • Patent number: 4999594
    Abstract: An AC line filter having a balun coupled to an AC voltage input and an AC voltage output. The balun includes a first and a second set of windings with a first and a second tap on the first and second set of windings, respectively. A first Y capacitor is connected to a ground and the first tap of the first set of windings of the balun, and a second Y capacitor is connected to the ground and a second tap of the second set of windings of the balun.

  • Patent number: 4915505
    Abstract: A truck-mounted apparatus is capable of blending liquid/liquid or liquid/solid constituents in a high capacity blending operation, and the apparatus achieves a high degree of versatility in the introduction of materials into a blender apparatus (10) for discharge from either or both sides of the truck or other vehicle. A closed loop system (12) permits suction of liquid materials as well as discharge of mixed materials from one or both sides of the truck, and is capable of flushing or other pumping operations as well. Moreover, the closed loop system (12) includes a pump (62) as a part of the closed loop system which, together with the blender (10), is operable off of a common drive, such as the power transmission train of the truck.

  • Patent number: 4658345
    Abstract: A circuit for automatically operating a switching power supply is capable of operating from first and second input voltage ranges. The circuit changes the switching power supply from a full-wave rectifier circuit to a voltage doubler rectifier circuit by electrically connecting first and second nodes. The circuit includes a rectifier circuit and a voltage level sensing device for generating an output voltage to trigger a triac, which connects the first and second nodes.

  • Patent number: 4460276
    Abstract: A blending apparatus comprises a generally cylindrical casing bounded by top and bottom walls, the top wall having a central solids inlet for introduction of solids by gravity flow into an impeller mounted for rotation in the casing and in coaxial alignment with the solids inlet. The impeller has one or more spaced plates and impeller vanes mounted thereon which extend radially away from a central opening in the upper plate thereof, the central opening being aligned in open communication with the solids inlet and disposed in closely spaced relation to the top wall in such a way to prevent backflow of materials from the chamber formed in the casing through the upper solids inlet. Tangentially directed fluid inlet and outlet ports are disposed in the casing's cylindrical wall and the inlet port is disposed in outer radially spaced relation to the impeller preferably with the outlet port spaced below the inlet port and impeller for discharging intermixed materials from the chamber.
