  • Publication number: 20200188831
    Abstract: A control system for a variable flow filtration system that is configured for receiving an operating condition of a variable speed impeller of the variable flow filtration system; determining a threshold filter force associated with the received operating condition to determine an increased threshold filter force proportionally to increases in the received operating condition; receiving one or more real-time environmental conditions of the variable flow filtration system; modifying the determined threshold filter force based on the received one or more real-time environmental conditions; receiving a real-time filter force imparted by a filter of the variable flow filtration system on a load cell or other filtration system component, the filter force being imparted by a flow of gas or fluid driven by the variable speed impeller; comparing the received real-time filter force to the modified determined threshold filter force; and generating a filter status notification based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 4320842
    Abstract: A magnetic separator for removing ferrous or other magnetic contaminants from loose, non-magnetic materials comprising a bipartite assembly having two sections, which when joined, define a flow passage having an inlet for receiving material to be processed and an outlet for processed material. Magnetic elements in the form of prongs arranged in a plurality of assemblies, associated with each section, travel through the flow passage in an inter-digitated relationship and capture the magnetic substances in the material. The captured contaminants are released at discharge stations spaced from the outlet, where the prongs are demagnetized. Any material not released, is cleaned from the prong assemblies by brushes located at a cleaning station. The prongs are magnetized by a plurality of magnet assemblies that are transported by a conveyor in synchronism and juxtaposed relation with, the prong assemblies for a portion of their travel.

  • Patent number: 4103982
    Abstract: The invention provides an accessory locking mount for removably attaching a CB radio or other electrical accessory to a support member. The mount includes a first, adjustable bracket to which the accessory is rigidly affixed and which tightly embraces the accessory to carry the accessory. The mount also includes a second, adjustable bracket rigidly affixed to a support member and adapted to slidably receive the first bracket. The various elements are assembled by carriage bolts having rounded heads projecting outwardly of the mount. The bolts cannot be loosened or removed from outside the mount so that unauthorized adjustment or removal of the mount is not possible when the first and second brackets are engaged. An internally disposed, ramp-like, plug-in electrical connector is employed to permit the accessory to be carried wherever desired upon disengagement of the first and second brackets.
