  • Publication number: 20240034631
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the scalable synthesis of carbonaceous perimorphic materials, including carbonaceous perimorphic frameworks, on recyclable templates, and using recyclable process liquids. The present disclosure also demonstrates novel perimorphic architectures. In particular, perimorphic frameworks comprising synthetic anthracitic networks are demonstrated. Using these methods, three-dimensional architectures constructed from graphenic carbon can be scalably produced.

  • Patent number: 10299399
    Abstract: The waterproof case includes a case body, which defines an inner space for accommodating an electrically functional component. The waterproof case includes at least one opening, and at least one plug, which is mounted in the opening to form a part of a wall of the inner space. The plug includes at least one terminal conduit forming a feedthrough for a terminal. The plug is arranged in the opening to form with the case body an external space, and the external space is filled with an electrically insulating material for sealing the waterproof case.

  • Publication number: 20070295722
    Abstract: A sanitary waste bin and disposal system for the convenient and hygienic disposal of waste products. A waste bin comprises a container for storing the waste material, the container having a first opening; a cover for the first opening, the cover having a second opening; a lid comprising top and bottom surfaces defining a receptacle, the lid being attached to the cover such that the lid is pivotable within the second opening between an open position where the receptacle is positioned to receive waste material, and a closed position where the receptacle is positioned to deposit waste material into the container; a lever for engaging the lid to operate between the closed position and the open position; and a handle for lifting the bin when disposing of the waste material. Also disclosed is a sanitary waste system comprising the waste bin and a bracket for mounting the bin to a wall, and a system comprising the waste bin and a tray for carrying at least two of the bins in a predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 6117340
    Abstract: The present invention is a device for separation of particulates with widely different densities from swimming pool waters open to contamination from windblown debris. Vacuum hose cleaning of the bottoms swimming pools requires pre-filtering for leaf, branch, and grass removal before the water passes to the primary filter. The present invention is a low pressure, liquid filled, cylindrical vessel situated vertically wherein the vacuumed mixture of leaves, branches, grass, soil, gravel, and water is introduced tangentially to the interior walls of the cylindrical vessel. An axially located, perforated collection pipe is connected to external piping permitting water draw-off. The tangentially flowing contaminated waters release their leaves, branches, and grass into an annular flowing zone close to the cylindrical vessel walls while heavier soil particles and gravel fall to the floor of the vessel.
