  • Publication number: 20190382903
    Abstract: A process for preparing ammonia via an electrolysis cell may involve feeding nitrogen as a first reactant into the electrolysis cell and using water or water vapor as a second reactant for electrolysis. In at least one step downstream of the electrolysis, there is a separation of other components from the ammonia, such as an at-least-partial separation of nitrogen, water, argon and/or hydrogen. Recovery of the reactants is connected upstream of the ammonia electrolysis. The nitrogen used as the first reactant may be procured beforehand in an air fractionation plant. The process may further involve removing from the electrolysis cell oxygen formed as a by-product in the electrolysis at an anode.

  • Patent number: 10507977
    Abstract: Locking roller assemblies for locking and unlocking a roller of a roller conveyor. The disclosed locking roller assemblies include rollers that, by default, are locked from rotation in the absence of a transferred object such as a container, crate, or pallet. When an object is present over the roller, the roller is passively actuated by the object to unlock and release the roller, enabling the roller to rotate. When the package or article has passed by the roller, the locking roller assembly resumes the default configuration of locking the roller to prevent rotation. In some embodiments, actuation of the locking mechanism is parallel to the roller axis and accomplished by a lever and cam arrangement. In other embodiments, actuation of the locking mechanism is in a direction that is orthogonal to the roller axis and accomplished by a plunger arrangement.

  • Patent number: 10509608
    Abstract: A print target data transfer system includes first and second image forming apparatuses and a user terminal. The first image forming apparatus accepts print target data, stores it, and sends notification information containing meta-information on the print target data to a user terminal as a notification destination. The user terminal displays the meta-information contained in the received notification information, accepts a user's selection of an arbitrary one from pieces of print target data indicated by the meta-information, and sends to the first image forming apparatus a request to transfer the selected piece of print target data to the second image forming apparatus. The first image forming apparatus transfers the piece of print target data to the second image forming apparatus according to the request. The second image forming apparatus receives the transferred piece of print target data and executes processing for printing the piece of print target data.
