  • Patent number: 8343355
    Abstract: A dissolved air flotation system and method for purifying fresh water. The system is self-contained within a standard shipping container, with all components disposed in-line within the shipping container. Float is removed from the flotation tank with a skimmer that drives float downstream onto a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt conveys float away from the flotation tank, in the downstream direction, and deposits the float in a collection tank. Clean water may be drawn from the flotation tank continuously, while float may be removed periodically.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7166044
    Abstract: A device and a method for training a golfer to putt a golf ball into a hole. The device includes a slope indicator, which provides a visual indication of the slope of the slope of the golf green at the rim of the hole. The golfer marks the slope and practices different lines of approach of the ball to the hole, and at different distances, until he can accurately and consistently sink the putt from any approach on the green.

  • Patent number: 5175021
    Abstract: A transmission line is constructed from ceramic and nickel materials to provide a characteristic impedance that matches the characteristic impedance of a boat assembly in a chemical vapor deposition system. The transmission line is interposed between a set of feedthroughs through the wall of a reactant tube and a set of contacts on the boat assembly. The transmission line improves the efficiency of the power transfer to the boat assembly from an RF power source external to the reactant tube. The transmission line is particularly advantageous at high frequencies such as, for example, 13.56 MHz. This improves the repeatability of the deposition of film on wafers in the boat assembly.
