Patent number: 6778276Abstract: A method is provided for sorting white paper from a stream of paper wherein the concentration of white paper is less than the concentration of non-white paper. The method includes identifying the white paper by detecting the presence of an optical characteristic of the white paper as the stream of paper is passed by a sensor. Then the white paper is ejected from the stream of paper by controlling one or more actuators directed against the white paper, and thereby separating the white paper from the non-white paper. The method is particularly applicable to the sorting of white paper during curbside recycling.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Advanced Sorting Technologies LLCInventors: Russell S. Bruner, David R. Morgan, Garry R. Kenny, Paul G. Gaddis, David Lee, James M. Roggow

Publication number: 20040027574Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for sensing the presence of bright white paper on a conveyor of a paper sorting system. The conveyor is constantly illuminated with ultraviolet light. When bright white paper is present in the inspection zone of the conveyor, it will re-radiate fluorescent light energy as a result of the ultraviolet light. Periodically, the inspection zone of the conveyor is illuminated with a second light source in the visible light spectrum. Light is collected from the inspection zone of the conveyor, including reflected light from the secondary source and including emitted fluorescent light energy as a result of the ultraviolet light falling on bright white paper. Periodically a microprocessor associated with the sensor senses reflected light from the second source to determine whether any object if present on the conveyor. The microprocessor then senses the level of fluorescent light energy being emitted from any object on the conveyor.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Inventors: Russell S. Bruner, David R. Morgan, Garry R. Kenny, Paul G. Gaddis, David Lee, James M. Roggow

Patent number: 5707658Abstract: A method for treating equine manure involves contacting the manure with sodium bisulfate, preferably at a level of at least 50 grams per square meter of surface. The sodium bisulfate is preferably applied at least once per week. Another embodiment is a method for treating the manure with a material to reduce the pH of the manure, preferably to a pH less than 5. A related embodiment is a method for treating the manure with an acid to reduce the number of flies in the area around the manure, preferably to less than 25% of the number of flies in the same area without the treatment. Another embodiment is a method for treating the manure with a material to reduce the ammonia level in the air above the manure to less than about 2 parts per million.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1996Date of Patent: January 13, 1998Assignee: Jones-Hamilton Co.Inventors: David R.

Patent number: 5356116Abstract: An improved stub shaft to disc connection for a butterfly valve is provided having a valve disc with a hub. The valve disc is adapted to be rotated between an open and closed position. A valve disc seat is adapted to engage the valve disc in the closed position. A shaft is joined to the valve disc to permit torque to be transmitted to the valve disc from a point remote therefrom. The shaft is joined to the valve disc by forming the valve disc with a portion of increased thickness (hub) relative to the main portion of the disc. The portion of increased thickness is formed at a point adjacent the circumference of the disc. A hole (bore) is then machined into the portion of increased thickness parallel to the disc. The bore consists of a single larger aperture contiguous with a plurality of smaller apertures, the plurality of smaller apertures, positioned at a point more distal the circumference of the disc than the single larger aperture.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1993Date of Patent: October 18, 1994Assignee: ABZ Manufacturing, Inc.Inventors: David R.

Patent number: 5318172Abstract: Electromagnetic radiation is projected through various types of plastics materials such as plastic containers. The readings from the electromagnetic radiation transmitters are received by a sensor array. Plural readings are taken from each plastic bottle as it passes under the sensor. The measurements from the sensor array output are then fed into a computer. The materials are then separated into three classes. The first class contains polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene teraphalate (PET) containers. The second class contains polypropylene (PP) and natural (primarily milk containers) high density polythylene (HDPE) containers. The third class contains opaque materials such as rigid, mixed color high density polythylene (HDPE) containers, opaque polyvinyl chloride (PVC) containers, opaque polystyrene (PS) containers, and opaque polypropylene (PP) containers. The groups of plastics contained in each of the classes are then separated out using the same or other detection means.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1992Date of Patent: June 7, 1994Assignee: Magnetic Separation Systems, Inc.Inventors: Garry R.
