Patent number: 10919040Abstract: A centrifuge device and method for use are presented. The centrifuge device includes a housing, a chamber, a channel, and a cover. The housing includes a first port and a vent opening and is designed to rotate about an axis passing through a center of the housing. The chamber is defined within the housing and is coupled to the first port. A first portion of the chamber has a width that tapers between a first width at a first position and a second width at a second position within the chamber, the first width being greater than the second width. The channel is coupled to the second position of the chamber and arranged such that a path exists for gas to travel from the channel to the vent opening. The cover provides a wall that seals the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: STAT-DIAGNOSTICA & INNOVATION, S.L.Inventors: Rafael Bru Gibert, Mathias Kuphal, Jordi Carrera Fabra, Ricard Martin Blanco, Francisco Javier Ramírez

Patent number: 10815548Abstract: A method for producing briquettes from pellet fines, DRI sludge, DRI fines and dust from DRI dedusting systems and, in this way, reincorporating same into steel production processes, thereby contributing to the re-use of the by-products of these processes, as well as minimizing the stocks of these types of materials and, consequently, helping to improve the environment. The invention comprises: grinding and sieving the pellet fines and the DRI sludge; sieving the DRI fines; storing the dust from DRI dedusting systems; briquetting with roller presses, using liquid sodium silicate and bentonite or composite Portland cement as binders; sieving the briquettes; shredding the edges and waste of the fresh briquettes; and curing in order to improve the physical properties thereof, such as strength. Once cured, the fresh briquette can be stored or sent directly to direct-reduced iron production processes for use as part of the feedstock for reduction ovens or reactors.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: D R&D Labs and Engineering S. DE R. L. DE C.VInventors: Francisco Javier Ramirez Alvarez, Francisco Javier Palafox Sanchez

Publication number: 20200303291Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for an IC package including a package substrate. The package substrate includes a set of validation connectors formed on a first side of the package substrate, a first set of functional connectors formed on the first side of the package substrate, and a second set of functional connectors formed on a second side of the package substrate opposite to the first side. A validation connector of the set of validation connectors is arranged to be coupled with a validation connector of an IC die placed above the first side of the package substrate. A first functional connector of the first set of functional connectors is arranged to be coupled with a functional connector of the IC die. A second functional connector of the second set of functional connectors is arranged to be coupled through the first functional connector to the functional connector of the IC die.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Luis Ricardo Perez-Corona, Maria Jose Garcia-Garcia de Leon, Ricardo Astro-Bohorquez, Francisco Javier Ramirez-Aldana

Publication number: 20180206566Abstract: People, especially women, need to carry their phones and need free use of both hands to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Clothing often has no pockets or inadequate pockets for phones. A person may prefer a more comfortable, fashionable and discreet appearance than armbands, storage belts, or fanny-packs. Many women desire the freedom of being unencumbered by a bag or purse. A modern, attachable, interactive pocket uniquely addresses these needs. Attachable, Interactive Pockets, composed of functional fabrics, protect the wearer, their data, and the device within while also providing many more functions. Therefore, Attachable, Interactive Pockets for Electronic Devices have industrial applicability in fashion, retail, device insurance, and consumer electronics industries.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2018Publication date: July 26, 2018Inventors: Jilla Dawn Meghnot Ramirez, Francisco Javier Ramirez
