  • Patent number: 6840764
    Abstract: An apparatus and process for producing charcoal in a kiln from hardwood. The kiln is constructed over an array of hardwood logs supported on a suitable platform. Fill material is used to form a surrounding jacket surrounding the hardwood, a sawdust layer is applied over the surrounding jacket, and an airtight layer of clay earth and sand is applied over the sawdust layer. An ignition access port is provided through the several layers to allow ignition and combustion of the hardwood, after which the access port is closed to prevent air from entering the interior of the kiln during burning of the hardwood. After a predetermined burning time, the kiln and its contents are allowed to cool, and the filler, clay earth, sand and any remaining debris are removed from the hardwood. The hardwood is then cooled a second time, and then cooled a third time by stifling the hardwood, such as in a cooling box capped with earth.

  • Patent number: 5689064
    Abstract: A glide head assembly is associated with a support structure for use with a system for testing a moving surface to detect a presence of asperities thereon. This system includes signal processing operative to process an electronic signal generated in response to the presence of an asperity. The glide head assembly comprises a flexure adapted to be secured to the support structure and positionable in proximity to the moving surface. A slider is secured to a distal end portion of the flexure. A piezoelectric transducer is sandwiched partly between the slider and the distal end portion and preferably includes a free end portion which projects outwardly from this region to define a cantilever having a selected length and width. A test device for testing a moving surface on a rotating disk to determine a presence of asperities and a methodology for producing a glide head assembly for use with such a system are also provided.
