  • Publication number: 20230133864
    Abstract: An air-powered conveyor belt cleaner is configured with a spinner manifold with cleaning heads having nozzles that output air against a conveyor belt and an opposing catch tray assembly that catches dislodged sesame seeds and small debris or particles from the cleaned conveyor belt. A hanging bracket attaches to opposing sides of the conveyor belt’s frame and uses rollers to direct the conveyor belt in a temporarily vertical direction while the air-powered conveyor belt cleaner operates. Once the conveyor belt is vertically-oriented, plant air is directed to inlets at the spinner manifold, which is then output through nozzles perpendicularly arranged relative to the conveyor belt. The cleaning heads are adapted to rotate while operating to increase the agitation against the conveyor belt. The tips of the nozzles/tubes are bent at an obtuse angle to create a thrust caused by the output air.

  • Publication number: 20230139320
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a new and improved system and method for determining a weight rating for a surface road transporter by using a computing system and digital camera to identify various attributes of the transporter and then, based on those attributes, to determine a maximum allowable load limit for that transporter in a given jurisdiction. In addition, embodiments of the present invention may include a digital optical device and related software configured to scan and decipher a QR code printed on an “overweight” permit issued by a local jurisdiction, where the overweight permit authorizes a specific transporter to carry a load that exceeds its normal gross allowable weight by a specified amount or percentage. Embodiments of the present invention may incorporate the specified overage amount or percentage in its determination of the gross allowable weight rating for that transporter.

  • Publication number: 20230139552
    Abstract: A multi-level rotor for a coolant flow control valve assembly, which accommodates an increased number of inlet ports, outlet ports, and flow channels using a single rotor located in a housing, enabling a larger number of flow configurations. The housing includes nine ports which may function as an inlet or an outlet, which facilitates different flow configurations. For a thermal management system, reduced cost and less space utilization is achieved by a reduced number of valves, where the multi-level rotor is able to fluidically connect multiple inlets/outlets. This enables different flow configurations, depending on the degree of rotation. The channels at different levels are sealed from each other within the housing. The flow channels are manufactured into a single entity, therefore always having the same positional accuracy relative to each other when the rotor is repositioned.
