Publication number: 20240075415Abstract: The present invention relates to a reclamation and recycling process for graphene oxide, a scaffold comprising graphene oxide, a modular graphene oxide-based microbial fluid filter and a filter tool that allows the correct compression pressure of a modular filtration cartridge, and prevents internal leakage along the internal wall of the filter and thus provides correct sealing of the filter. Such modular graphene oxide-based microbial fluid filter does not require a sub-micrometer pore filtering medium, yet has a microbial filtration efficiency of up to 99.99% and the ability to filter particulates while still providing the filtration flow rates of current filters that do not employ a sub-micrometer pore filtering medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Oscar N. Ruiz, Moshan S. P. Kahandawala, Kurukulasuriya Fernando

Publication number: 20200397153Abstract: This disclosure presents a product display and merchandising device, system and method that may include multiple such product displays and merchandising devices, and a method for dispensing products to customers using such product display and merchandising device. The merchandising system may efficiently utilize storage space and provide an aesthetic display by automatically aligning different products to a front display surface. The merchandising system may use multiple holders or clips on a conveyor belt to hang and display products. A customer may pull and remove a front piece of the products. As the customer pulls the front piece of merchandise or product, the action moves the conveyor belt and brings a next piece of products forward, to the position that the front piece of the product previously occupied. As such, the merchandising system may enable customers to freely remove products and maintain a tidy and neat display of the products.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: December 24, 2020Inventor: Fernando Ruiz
