  • Patent number: 9327999
    Abstract: An inclined plate sedimentation device includes a plurality of parallel spaced inclined plates, each at a plate inclination angle relative to a horizontal axis, an influent fluid source that provides a fluid to the device such that the fluid flows between the inclined plates, and at least one vibratory source operatively coupled to at least one of the inclined plates for providing vibration. The inclined plates have tapered lower ends for reducing eddy currents between adjacent inclined plates upon vibration. The vibratory source may be at least one of mechanical, electrical, air-driven, hydraulic-driven, a sonic wave device, and a microwave device.

  • Publication number: 20090228367
    Abstract: A paint manufacturing system includes a paint component storage system in fluid communication with a dispenser. A computer system is operatively coupled to the dispenser through the paint component storage system. The paint component storage system flows a desired amount of at least two paint components to the dispenser in response to a paint type indication provided to the computer system. An internet may be in communication with the computer system. Alternatively, the paint manufacturing system may be configured so as to be available twenty four hours, seven days a week, dispensing paint at the time of purchase. In additional embodiments, a second computer system may be coupled to a plurality of paint manufacturing systems in order to allow large orders to be divided among multiple systems.
