  • Patent number: 12618527
    Abstract: Some variations provide a pressure vessel comprising: a chamber for processing a material under a chamber pressure up to 5000 bar; an end cap disposed at one end of the pressure chamber; an interior seal plate disposed between the end cap and the chamber volume; and a plurality of pressure-vessel keys disposed between the end cap and an outer ring. At a chamber pressure greater than atmospheric, the end cap exerts a force against the keys to automatically and reversibly actuate a pressure-vessel seal. Conversely, at atmospheric pressure or less, the keys and end cap are easily removable. Essentially, the pressure in the vessel is utilized as an in situ mechanical force to automatically actuate a safe and efficient seal. Process cycle times are significantly reduced because the vessel is not opened and closed using tooling. Throughputs are increased, improving economics of pressure vessels for extraction, reaction, or other processes.

  • Patent number: 12558658
    Abstract: A rotatable drum system includes a frame and a drum rotationally supported thereon. Paddles in an interior of the drum are angularly offset from the longitudinal axis. An eccentric opening offset from the longitudinal axis forms the egress. Mixed solid waste agitated by the paddles while in the drum. Trunnions may support the drum. An actuator may be pivotable with an upper frame relative to a lower frame and the actuator can cause drum rotation irrespective of a position of the upper frame relative to the lower frame. A trunnion assembly with a rocker pivotally coupled to a base thereof via a first axle, enables the rocker to be pivotable relative to the base about the first axle. A second axle may be rotationally coupled to the rocker. A roller may be rotationally coupled to the rocker via the second axle, and configured to support a rotating load.

  • Publication number: 20250209429
    Abstract: A method can include establishing, at a banking application, a connection with a bank-as-biller account associated with a financial institution different than that of the banking application using an open banking identifier associated with the bank-as-biller account, wherein the bank-as-biller account has a biller identifier for electronic payment to the bank-as-biller account; obtaining, on a current day, at the banking application via the connection with the bank-as-biller account, a current balance for the bank-as-biller account that reflects an actual balance including after any transactions posted for the bank-as-biller account for the current day; determining an amount to pay towards the current balance for the bank-as-biller account based on the current balance; and directing payment of the amount to pay towards the current balance by performing an electronic payment using the biller identifier associated with the bank-as-biller account to effect the electronic payment for the bank-as-biller account on

  • Publication number: 20250045807
    Abstract: A method can include providing a bill detail for a bank-as-biller account within a graphical user interface of a banking application, wherein the bank-as-biller account has a biller identifier for electronic payment and an open banking identifier; establishing a connection with the bank-as-biller account using the open banking identifier; receiving a request to view transaction detail history for the bank-as-biller account; and in response to the request to view transaction detail history for the bank-as-biller account: calling a first open banking application programming interface (API) over the established connection with the bank-as-biller account to obtain the transaction detail history for the bank-as-biller account; receiving the transaction detail history; and generating a transaction history view using the received transaction detail history.

  • Publication number: 20240408620
    Abstract: A liquid-driven separation system for separating hydrated organic materials from drenched mixed solid waste is disclosed. The system includes a funnel-shaped housing defining an upper, open end, a tapering sidewall defining the funnel-shaped housing, and a lower end having a smaller circumference than the upper, open end; vertically offset openings arranged along the tapering sidewall; impellers extend along a vertical axis of the housing; a drive device that rotates the impellers; and an extraction device configured to extract fractions of the mixed solid waste from the housing. A mixture of waste and water is received at the upper end of the housing. The drive device rotates the impellers causing the impellers to generate a centrifugal force such that the mixture spins within the housing and the mixed solid waste separates into fractions at least based on a density of components in the mixed solid waste, for further extraction.
